I would have used the Champ tunic more often, having actually uprgaded it and all that. If not for the fact I ended up spending well over half my gameplay time in extreme environments. Like my initial trips going out to the middle of nowhere in the frozen mountains with a fire sword on my back and a 1 defense warm doublet. Yeah the champ tunic would have been nice and all, but so was not freezing to death. Then once my equipment spread got more sorted, still ending up forgoing it because Snow/Sand boots are convenient so that meant my torso and head were reserved for the weather gear. Or being a cheapskate and not buying the Goron helmet so not burning to death meant no Tunic, etc.

This has probably been asked a lot, but: how does the Wii U version stack up to the Switch one? I keep hearing conflicting reports about framerate and stuff. I'd prefer to spend $60 for the game rather than ~400 for the console and the Switch version.

I'd prefer to spend $60 for the game rather than ~400 for the console and the Switch version. I played on Wii U. The frame rate drops pretty consistently in towns and some graphically-dense areas, and the resolution is lower (720p vs. 900p). Other than that, the versions are identical. Same draw distances, same environmental detail, pretty much the same loading times, all of that.

Brad from Giant Bomb constantly mentions whenever it comes up that he wishes he had the Switch version because his experience with the WiiU is real bad.

I didn't have a bad experience on the Wii U, but I do want the Switch version because I want to play it portable. I expect I'll be doing a fresh Hard Mode run (assuming that's an option) when I eventually get a Switch.

I didn't have bad experiences with the Wii U version at all. The framerate drops were definitely noticeable, but it only happened in areas where it didn't matter too much, not during combat etc.

I'd prefer to spend $60 for the game rather than ~400 for the console and the Switch version. It does the job, the most difference I've heard is a slightly reduced draw distance for the WiiU. My own experience (Switch) is that a dip does happen in some places (Great Hyrule Forest, reliably, regardless of docked mode), but never enough to be unplayable, or even that much of a factor.

It made bows very painful except in really basic areas. I.e. trying to shoot with a bow in any areas with trees (probably trying to render the transparency and stuff causes it to poo poo the bed). Really a pain in the rear end and makes headshots on anything that isn't a giant Hinox eye very painful for the most part. Though I got used to it. Otherwise yeah it's pretty much fine.

Of course the last shrine I was missing was near one of the first routes I took off the great plateau and involved putting an orb into something long before I knew what those little stands were for. But drat, 120 hours of pure joy was pretty drat good.

So this is kind of driving me crazy, there's some little metal area in the ground with a hole for a ball near the Great Fairy in Kakariko village and I've climbed everywhere in the area. Is there a quest or something related to doing something with this I'm missing?

You can only pick it up by doing all of the sidequests in the village (not counting the kids'). If you're like me, you're probably missing the firefly one; start raiding people's homes at night until you find someone awake talking about fireflies, then dump five of them right in front of her.

Look for a book you've probably constantly walked past near the entrance to Impa's house for some reminders. EDIT: beaten  But this is a common sticking point. For all the 'do it the way you want' freedoms this game has, the rare occasions there are quest triggers like this really throw you off.

The eighth heroine seems to have dropped her sword? The quest suggests that there's someone in the village that give me a hint, but the only person I found keeps talking about the other 7 heroine even after I got that shrine.

There is a certain oracle inside that town. If you give him the right incentive, he might point you the right way.

The "hint" comes from the stupid loving sand seal that the Chief keeps. It only gives you to hint if you feed it a wild berry. The sword can be found on Gerudo Summit. gently caress that quest.

The solution to the heroine quest is to go traipsing around in the mountains north of town then drop in on the shrine by accident.

Wished that worked for the Korok Trials! So far I keep getting spat back out at the start of the area constantly looking for those little buggers. I've only been able to do one. I thought I was supposed to follow some sort of trail but every time I think I've got it, NOPE. I must have found the first guy by mistake or sheer luck because I can't reproduce it.

I must have found the first guy by mistake or sheer luck because I can't reproduce it. The most annoying part is the Assasins Creed stealth one because he's excruciatingly slow. The Saria Lake one was stupidly easy. Though inexplicably I could not find the entrance to the Trial of Woods (east) for the loving longest time. I ended up glitching ontop to trigger a cutscene with the guy and then had to go walk around and figure out how to actually get there normally but once in it you can just use Bombs the whole time to avoid using your sword/bow and its easily linear.

The wild berry makes sense. You know what doesn't make sense? There's more than one rare hint so you can't be sure you used the right fruit. Do you know what else doesn't make sense? The position of the sword (which I had already found) in relation to the eighth heroine.

Honestly, I found the sword first and had trouble finding the statue. But I was also exploring the place really early and didn't even have the quest when I first found the sword, soooo.... I didn't even know the seal would give hints. I feel like the sword is easier to find anyway.

I spent 2 hours looking up and town Gerudo Town trying to find the person with the hint. I fed the stupid seal every piece of fruit I had, which of course didn't include wildberries.

I am just the worst at finding Koroks. I'm at 3 dire beasts, about 50 shrines, and only 25 korok seeds. I just never see them. Yesterday I climbed all of Hebra Mountain to do a shrine quest, and I made an effort to check every path, ledge, and anything else that seemedlike a good hiding place and didn't find a single one. I know that makes no sense, but I can't explain it. And yes, I looked up a summary of the different forms the puzzles take but that has barely helped me spot them.

I often can't spot them in my own game (I'm at three beasts, 75 shrines, and ~40 seeds) but when I'm watching LPs, no problem, especially when the LPer doesn't see them. I stream with a fellow goon a lot, though, and I don't see them in her game either so I guess I just suck.

Asimo posted:It's amazing to me how everyone seems to forget that Cryonis seems to exist at all when there's a puzzle intended for it. Including me. I mean it is a pretty weak and boring power with mostly limited to crossing mud at the most. It's also even annoying then because if you swim/jump and miss the climb you end up just barely diving 1mm under it and then it shatters and you have to go walk back to land to cast it again  It would have been helpful for the Zora Divine Beast map to know Cryonis breaks those ice cubes the beast and waterblight throw at you instead of using arrows  Would be kind of nice if it also had some combat-upgrade like Stasis+
