Oh duh, 'rotate'. I'm exhausted. I will say I seirously regret selling my wii-u to fund my switch, in a way. Why I am ready for the future and I hadn't played the drat thing in over 4 months, I still had a number of games on my account I never really played and I still want to play, like wind waker. I guess that one will have to be an emulator thing for now  As for zelda, hopefully they can step back a bit from this and bring back the gating the series became known for. I love that type of gameplay

ProjektorBoy posted:I had a weird feeling when it was time for me to go to Hateno. I walked through that giant wall, saw some enemies, and felt ill-equipped mentally and in-game to try some fighting. So I hosed off to some nearby mountains. Just trying to mine materials for later buffing. I ended up passing near a sleeping Hinox and, minutes later, stumbled upon Hateno by accident. I can't even imagine what the poo poo route you took that got you to a dragon -AND- a Lynel. Feels like I dodged several bullets. Update: I'm now exploring the tower on the way to hateno that I skipped. I met a rock golem. He died super quickly to my Lynel sword after I climbed up his back. Assuming it would have been harder otherwise. Also one more question: I got my compendium after I freed that dragon or whatever. Can I meet him later to get him in there? Still having a total blast. After I explore some far away shrines I can see from hateno I'm about to explore the castle cuz I think Zelda had a picture of it so I can jog my memory. Hope I fight something I'm not supposed to

GobiasIndustries posted:Yeah the dungeon. It was just way more of a pain than the others for whatever reason, the 64 interior chamber combinations probably didn't help. Can't say I agree, I thought it was really cool and the rotation gimmick makes perfect sense if you just pay attention to how the level is laid out. It probably required the most spatial reasoning out of the bunch but it was fun and satisfying to figure out. Then again my favorite Zelda dungeons are usually the hard ones that everybody else seems to hate so  Bum the Sad posted:LOL does that make it like the only game on the console that doesn't?

I love that type of gameplay I mean they make all sorts of Zeldas, and I imagine the handheld type ones will stick with that mode, but I don't see them seriously walking back to "We gave you an awesome world to live in, and now.....walk from A to B, then B to C, then C to D!".

There's a big continuum between "Give everything at the start" and "Walk down the corridor". You can have multiple ways to get to Major Plot Points while at the same time limiting what can get to where. Hell, with how the game is I bet you could be given a new Power in each beast and not gate anything off. Like you can get one 2-3 beasts right from the start, but different things get opened up depending on when you do them, so you can leave something for later when you can easily get in or try it earlier at a higher difficulty (hmmm I wonder if they used that idea in the game already) via a different method. You can already do a ton of different things to solve the shrines, for instance, so not having one particular method wouldn't hurt you one bit and if you didnt have what you needed, you can always come back just like how they envisioned

canoshiz posted:(solution spoiler) I attached octo balloons to the rock to lift it up to reveal the shrine, which is what I'm guessing is the intended solution and their homage to Tingle. Seems appropriate. Holy loving poo poo. I've broken so many goddamn weapons on these kinds of rocks in Faron jungle.

Fritzler posted:I was walking from Kakariko to Hateno village, and I think I went the "wrong" way. I ended up walking by a giant minotaur and killed him, but it took literally every weapon strength that I had and I only had his sword and shield afterwards. Then I had to constantly eat all the food i had saved, which was mostly uncooked cuz the free armor the king gave didn't protect me enough after my torch went out. Then I found a giant dragon that I had to shoot eyes off of. Is he story relevant later? I don't really understand why, but I did it and got that shrine, and then eventually floated down and finally got to Hateno village. Fritzler posted:I saw a sleeping hinox right after the Lynel. I stole the weapons on his chest with my sheikah armor since all my weapons were dead except the new Lynel sword.  You are absolutely playing this game the right way.

Twilight Princess HD pro-tip: Turn up color saturation by like 20%, it looks sooooo much better. Just got the master sword. It really is a pretty decent game once you get past the early stuff.

I'm being sarcastic, but yeah sucks it got cut, although considering they changed development like a year or two ago the final game was too different from then and now to have put them back in, alongside the fact it'd have made less people buy the switch, even if just a small number. I didn't get a 3ds or wii u and skipped that generation, lol, guess it worked out for me

If the higher ups come to them and say "you also have to make it for this other console that doesn't have a touchscreen" years into development, I can see it being easier to just cut those features so you don't risk loving something up down the line between the versions.

I'm totally cool with hard dungeons, I guess it just just hit me the wrong way. What hits me in the right way, however, is hearty radishes and single pieces of meat: full recovery plus an extra couple hearts is so awesome and just gets better the more shrines you beat.

Supposedly it fixes the issue where spotty wifi connection would cause the framerate to crap out. Ostensibly areas like Korok Village and situations like fighting a lynel in a grassy plain during a storm would still cause the frames to stutter

And like seriously I'm never going to be able to replay like OoT or Wind Waker or Skyward Sword. MAYBE Majora's Mask because the story and setting are still super good but that's kind of a stretch Hell I don't think I'll play an open world game again until we get like a BoTW Gaiden or something like that. Shame, a month ago Dawn Hero Zorizon looked pretty good now it looks like garbage

It pisses me off korok forest no longer lags because that legit softened finding the master sword for me with how bad the frame rate was, and I can't ever get that first discovery moment back. At least I don't hate coming here now that it drops to 24 fps at worst.
