Game done. Ganon defeated, all memories found (unless there are some obscure ones not part of the main quest...?), all shrines collected. Easily the best game Nintendo's ever made, or at least close to it. Really blown away by how much this game impressed me, haha. Also, Zelda mentions hearing the voice inside the sword, several times. Is that supposed to be Fi? Sorta...glad Link can't seem to hear her as well, but I'm almost sad there was no actual cameo other than the sword glowing and making sounds in front of her.

When it talks to Zelda it makes the sound she makes whenever she comes popping out of the sword.

I feel like of you finish the game without horribly breaking a few shrines, and beating it without even knowing how it was supposed to be solved, you are missing out.

I think this led to some theories indicating that Zelda was actually the hero of legend chosen by the Master Sword in this iteration of the Zelda lore which thoroughly gets holes poked in it by the ending, but it is fun to think about at the very least. I'm sure this theory was also provoked by how the development team said that they were going to uproot all former conventions of the Zelda series.

Is it disrespectful to use your master sword as a multi tool and hylian shield as a snowboard? Also I'm glad the devs purposefully kept broken solutions in the game.

It's like in Skyward Sword; taking a clean hit to your shield is better than taking damage, but it costs you durability. The more optimal (but risky) usage is parrying to both avoid losing durability and open attack opportunities.

OK, folks, I am at an impasse. I have been stalling for over a week and have actually basically not touched the game in TWO DAYS because one plot point is staring me in the face: the Yiga Clan hideout. I have put it off as long as possible. Link is a super buff expert bowler with boss armor and killer weapons because I have been ignoring this quest since day one. But there is nothing left to do (except more shrines and a bunch of dinky side quests). Soooooooooooooooo. My friend (also a goon) told me you can cheese this mission by dropping directly into the boss room. I have been by there and that seems like a thing that could occur. Is this a real thing or not? The entire internet is bitching about this side quest in a manner that suggests it cannot actually be skipped and that it sucks even more than I have built it up to suck.

I'm convinced there is probably a stationary Yiga "behind" the middle structure or something I just kept overlooking in the second room. Because in my few attempts I would always easily sneak around and murder everyone but the door guard no problem, but right as I kill the next to last guy some second yiga I never noticed would spot me and I'd end up fighting two big ones. I'm sure you can handle just one big guy in a fair fight, but multiple is a headache. So my question is- How many unused bomb arrows do you have on hand? I just said gently caress it and Multi shot bow strafing runned them to death. Or, have you unlocked the Akkala tech lab for a supply of Ancient Arrows, your one stop solution for just not giving a single gently caress. They may be big, teleport, and given scripted one hit kills. But they still walk slow as hell the rest of the time and will basically give you all the time you need to shoot them in the face. When sneaking around in a ninja suit throwing bananas everywhere isn't quite working out, but you are not confident in evading the big swords of multiple enemies, you can always turn to SUPERIOR FIREPOWER

I like the way you think, good sir/madam. I just need a multi-shot bow that is not attached to a Lynel. (And not the fancy one the Rito gave me.) I have ten, count 'em TEN Ancient Arrows and a gently caress ton of bomb arrows so that sounds like a plan.

I remember reading an interview with Miyamoto where he said his inspiration for Zelda was running around the hills near his childhood home and imagining adventures. OoT was close to that for my child brain. This game is that for me as an adult. Any gaps in lore are easily filled by my imagination. Half the time when I start the game I have my own little "quest" in mind that I just made up for myself. It's been said 1,000 times in this thread but I'ma say it again: game owns.

The Yiga bit might not be that bad for you but I have an anxiety disorder. It took me days to psyche myself up to fight my first Blight Ganon, or board my first Divine Beast. Now, neither of those ended up being that bad, and after that I wasn't afraid to do those things, so I should probably learn from that, but that's not how the ol' noggin works. I actually am quite bad at video games in general and often give up due to my anxiety and I often just end up watching LPs instead, or watching my friends play, but this is a game that has kept me playing for close to 80 hours. I think that in itself says quite a lot.

Oh wow. I have 90+ shrines and I just found out that there's a thunder resistant suit. (also im still missing the barbarian leggings) idk if i messed up the probability, but its almost one ten thousandths of a chance (1/8025) that I missed all three rubber pieces until now e: i didnt know one came from a quest, so taking that out is only 1/300 or so. Also I left this region until very late since it is very useless main plot wise, so that drags up the probabilities somewhat

I am sitting right around half the shrines and they are definitely getting harder to find. Any tips on finding more, Watermelon Daiquiri? Right now I'm just running and flying around and hoping my sensor goes off or I see one in the distance. E: Section Z posted:Oh man, those Yiga are hosed. If you have yet to use Ancient arrows on anything, enjoy discovering just how hosed they are even without a multibow. I used one, once, to wallop a Guardian... But no, not since then! I bet I could go buy more, I have plenty of parts. But you piqued my interest with the multibow idea. I want to see CARNAGE. But you're probably right.

Right now I'm just running and flying around and hoping my sensor goes off or I see one in the distance. TBH the vast majority of my time in game has been exploration.  I only have 2/4 beasts down (and I almost defeated ganon when I accidentally wandered too far into the castle before I decided to just leave it for later in case it did something with my save LOL)Follow all of the shrine quests and mark down on the map areas you haven't been to (localized to a region) and go visit them all. You'll run into most of the shrines that way. For instance, I make all bodies of water, peaks, valleys, forests, interesting looking shapes as well as areas in between if there is a large amount of land between marks. I only have ~200 or so korok seeds (and I audibly gasped when I learned there were 900 of the drat things!) Some of the funniest things I've come across doing this is auto-completing quests since I ran into the objective while exploring and did it already  One memorable one is when I finally paid the treasure hunters for the location to said treasure, only for it to turn out to be in some nook I came across and cleared out ages ago. Waste of a 100 rupees...

Here is an example of my exploration methods:  Skulls are both for shrine locations and big monsters like lynels, stars are the 'go here!!!!' thing, swords are where I left weapons in chests, and leaves are korok things i havent done You can easily suss out where i have and haven't been based on whats starred or not  e: uuuugggghhhh why the gently caress do farosh horn shards need to be used for clothes >: ( I hate trying to get enough, and thinking you got one only for it to actually be a scale. They need a way to transmute scales into horn shards. They are both chitinous, right? Watermelon Daiquiri fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Mar 30, 2017 |

See, I can only do that with just one of them. I even provoked the first one just so I could steal his sword on my successful completion of the mission to put on display in my house of proof evil ninjas exist. But TWO tough guy Yiga and suddenly I'm a complete gently caress up in a straight fight See also. My laser parry skills being 100% or Zero percent, depending on elevation.
