Gorons are the best. I love it when they have a scared or shocked expression and suddenly they get like, cartoon googly eyes. It's hilarious. And they're like "YEEAAAAHHHH BROTHER, GET PUMPED!!!" and are all about climbing mountains and seeing who can stand in fire the longest. Strangely, there's actually a couple Gorons in the Gerudo town. Come to think of it, are there female Gorons? Maybe you just can't tell them apart. Or maybe they don't have sexes at all. I mean, they are pretty much naked...

Gorons really are the best. Yunobo sounds nothing like I expected Gorons to talk like, but it really fits him. Daruk is basically my default Goron voice but it would seem weird coming from Yunobo.Xaris posted:There's a little mining camp where there's some Gorons picking away.

MokBa posted:Can we talk about freeing Naydra for a second? That's one of my absolute favorite set pieces in the game, and I finally figured out why. The first time I did it, I climbed up the regular path all the way to the top, just ascending the mountain for the sack of itself. It was still very early in my playthrough; I hadn't even defeated any Divine Beasts. (I was also quite stoned and it was late that night, giving the whole thing a very dreamlike quality.) I was playing BotW in bed and decided on a lark to see what's atop Lanayru before I passed out. Ended up freeing Naydra half-asleep with one eye shut. When I picked the game back up the following day I wasn't totally sure if it had happened, it felt so strange and magical. Perfect.

Gotta say I didn't like the Naydra scene. Mainly because all the atmosphere was sucked out of it the moment I realized it was just an archery minigame rather than a boss fight. My expectations were probably colored by the fact that I had encountered Farrosh before but only at a distance and thought he was some big epic fight. So I spent a good amount of time anticipating a dragon fight I never got

First dragon I saw was Dinraal. I took a picture when I first saw it and read the flavor text in the compendium that said it bears no ill will towards humans, so I went into the Naydra scene with a "wow this is cool and I need to help this thing out" mentality. I didn't really organically stumble upon Naydra, though (having looked up the locations of where to find the dragons to get their scales, but not much more than that), so the experience was a bit diminished in that sense.

Did they ever say where in the time line this takes place? My gut feeling is that it's years after wind waker because of the rito presence, as well as Beedle in the game. Edit: oh yeah koroks were in WW too. seiferguy fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Apr 26, 2017 |

I really wish that an Inn's special bed or some of the more complex recipes would refresh your champion abilities. Cooking was pretty fun at first, then it got pretty dull when it became nothing but cooking 1 hearty fruit by itself more or less. Would be nice if they had the same heart function as Binding of Isaac and allow extra hearts to be in front of a set of empty red hearts so Hearty items didn't force a full restore. I like seeing the unique recipes on posters and such and trying them out, but there's never anything spectacular about them that makes it worthwhile.

Just in general I think the hearty mechanic is too powerful, they should have just left it out entirely or reduced its effectiveness - both what you said plus vastly reducing its effectively, maybe capping it at like 5 hearts.

I stumbled across Farosh first, on my first trip back to the plateau after managing to make it to Karakiko village. I was heading towards the east side of the plateau during the morning, and saw it flying over Lake Hylia. One of many "What the hell is that?" *SAVE GAME* moments, but it didn't seem to notice me. I didn't try to shoot it until after I'd made my Hateno village run, when it swooped down nearby after my first failed attempt at puzzling through the Ya Naga shrine. I carried the scale I shot off for a /long/ time until I stumbled into where I needed to use it. Naydra was the /last/ Dragon I saw, because I didn't really start exploring the mountain until I had bought and level-2 upgraded the full set of snow gear. My first attempt, I ran out of arrows, so I went and found some horse archers and exploited them until I had 300 (the original exploit still worked back then) and picked up the Golden Bow, and a bunch of Stamina food, and headed back, and discovered that I only had to score one more hit.

Phew! Borrowed a friend's Wii U, bought BoTW, and played nothing but this game for weeks and just beat it. Now I can finally read this thread and actually have someone to talk to about this amazing game. Best game I've played in recent memory, replacing Dark Souls 3. None of my friends have played the thing yet so I don't have anyone to talk to about the game , but after finally finishing I'm overflowing:
Goddamn, what a great, great, great game, there's a thousand things I want to say and hear but I'll stop for now. I mean I know I was somewhat critical just now but they made a Zelda game where I was laughing with delight as my happy apples bounced.

I thought I might randomly ask a question in this thread. I don't get much gaming time these days so what I do get I want to be fantastic. I only get to play a game or two a year. Recently the games I have loved playing are GTA5, Bayonetta, MGSV, Minecraft, Windwaker HD, The Last Guardian. My son also has really got into Miyazaki movies so I have been watching them nonstop for the past few months. Anyone know of any new game I might like? Ha. Well, I have been playing this for a while now and it is perfect. My favorite thing so far: It seems quant now, but in LTTP when you finally get to the master sword you have the little animals scurrying in front of you and it makes you feel like you have come to a really special place where the animals thrive. In BOTW when you walk up the hill to the lost forest there are lots of little animals around in the woods... that you hunt down for food. In spite of my son's goading I refuse to kill foxes, squirrels and wolves.

It's a shame, because it's easily the coolest looking of the lot, and its gimmick seemed like it should have had more potential. Ah well. When the least satisfying set piece in a video game is "you are debugging an ancient weapon of mass destruction using a paraglider, an ID badge, and a sword" you have still done pretty good.

I had no idea that was even a thing. I get the feeling I don't actually know much about the game I just beat, that it has depths I could spend another ~month exploring. I'm curious what people think of the weapon durability mechanic? I think it had an important place in the game mechanics, limiting your exploration and keeping you from getting too comfortable with any one weapon, but overall I'm left wishing they'd done it just a bit differently. Two things I expected to be in the game that didn't happen were the "racial weapons" you gain didn't regen and that you couldn't buy weapons in town. I spent a lot of mental energy in play through trying to keep myself equipped with "civilized" or even "noble" weapons, and I would have invest a lot more time into the games economy if a swing through Hateno village could nab me, say, traveler swords @ $100 each or soldier swords for $300. As it stands I had this weirdly lopsided game experience; at first I was smashing goblins in the face with their own stupid atatls in between ransacking Hateno and Koriko for rakes but then, without even really noticing it, I suddenly had "royal" this and "guardian" that and sadly I think the big difference was that I stopped fighting unless I really had to. I ran away from a lot of enemies unless I had some actual reason to clear out an area, and that's not a decision I wish the game's mechanics had steered me towards.

I definitely gravitate towards "civilized" weapons too, but the upshot of it ends up being that I'll use the uncivilized ones first and by that point I'll have 6 Royal Broadswords. Also you can get more of the Royal stuff than you can shake a stick at between Hinoxes and Hyrule Castle.

I'm still not done with the game, not by a long shot: I've only done two of the four Divine Beasts, but there is one relatively minor complaint that I hope future Zelda games don't repeat: so much of what you discover in the game falls into one of two categories: Korok seeds or Shrines (Gerudo Desert Spoilers Ahead) The puzzle at East Gerudo Ruins intrigued me. Seven massive statues of Gerudo warriors, each with a strange symbol somewhere on her weapons or armor. Seven orbs with corresponding symbols, and seven slots arranged like some sort of massive broken roulette table. I had to pen and paper to keep track of which symbols corresponded with which statue, like out of some oldschool NES game. So what ancient Gerudo secret was I unlocking? Would Stallord emerge from the ground for a rematch? Would the ground open up to reveal some hidden Gerudo bunker? ...Nope. None of that. It's another Sheikah Shrine with a 10,000 year old desiccated monk to disintegrate. Oh well.
