How anyone can stand Mipha's English VA is beyond me. I found her infinitely more grating than anyone else. I don't think it's the actress' fault so much as the bad voice direction all around. I liked all the story quite a lot on my first playthrough, but I'm finding it mostly grating as I go through Master Mode. The story beats are all really good, I just find the execution lacking. Luckily, it doesn't distract from the experience. The story is just an excuse to goof off in a giant playground.

You're told what happened, and then you gradually uncover the memories of what happened, and it's exactly what you were told with no twists or turns.

You can do a similar launch with cryonis blocks. Im impressed by how many long jumps he made with jump to shield surf. That would have been handy. I also wonder how many times he froze to death on the plateau.

Physics stay at their normal speed even during slowmo, but speed up accordingly when you some out of it. Basically the opposite of how it should work.

It's a pretty dumb category especially because while it sounds interesting on paper the execution is misery. Especially in a game with so much poo poo to collect you can only lower the time so much, who the hell is going to even watch a 25 hour run?

Heyo, back with more questions. Namely: is there some place youre expected to go to get fire-resistant gear before you try to enter the Goron homeland? I managed to get to the tower, but it seems like the only route to the main town is... through a place that kills me in no time flat.

When I went the first time I flew in on fire on the hang glider and spoke to the Goron near the entrance, who freaked out that I was on fire and led me to the clothes shop. But theres also someone at a nearby stable who will sell you a fireproof elixir. And if you make it up to the mine before Goron City, theres another guy wholl give you an article of clothing in exchange for collecting lizards (or you can use them to make your own elixirs).

Regalingualius posted:Heyo, back with more questions. The stable nearest to the path up the mountain has someone sitting outside from whom you can get enough Fireproof Elixir to reach Goron City. The ingredients for the elixir are found throughout the Death Mountain area. Partway up the path there's a sidequest giver who will both teach you the recipe and give you a quest to gather the ingredients, the reward for which is a piece of fireproof equipment. The rest is for sale in Goron City.

lol if you didn't just run screaming up Death Mountain while you were on fire and constantly eating apples and fish to not die. edit: I had forgotten about this.

Alright, managed to get the fire-proof clothes... Aaand found out that even they dont work in the Northern Mines area.  How are you supposed to get through there, if not with those?

Check the bonuses the clothes give you on the menu screen. You need two layers of the fireproof buff in order to survive the areas nearest to the crater.
