Soricidus posted:The korok puzzles are fine but there should be more than like 5 different kinds repeated endlessly. I liked the ones with the balloons. i think a really funny and infuriating mechanic would be where a set amount of korrok seeds (50) are dispensed randomly when certain areas (houses, shrines, forests) are cleared of all destructable environments. just imagine the gamefaqs forum trying to figure out the spawn conditions.

Shrines were neat, but as with Koroks, they soon got really stale. Exploration got a bit less interesting when the best thing you could find were either a pretty useless seed or another puzzle with an orb. There were a few shrines with other rewards, of course, but I still felt a bit cheated when I did a cool thing and it just unlocked a shrine. The overworld itself was fantastic, but I wish it would have more secrets, or just cool places, like Mount Satoshi (or whatever it was). I agree that they should either add classic dungeons or Hyrule Castle-like ones (preferrably both) with various rewards. I'm very optimistic about whatever they do, though. Nintendo is one of the best devs out there, and they're usually very good at making sequels. Still, I'm almost certain that most of the discussed features will be added, because Zelda team seems to listen to fans. Sometimes too much, but still.

Yeah, more ruined-buildings/building-complexes-with-monsters-in would be great. I hoped Akkala Tower would be a smaller-scale Hyrule Castle when I first saw it, and I still want that. And less-ruined versions of Castle Town to sneak round and explore. I love the weird things like Mt Satori and the dragons; I do kind of wish you could follow the dragon's paths around Hyrule too, just as a fun stupid challenge thing, no reward necessary other than doing it, same as all you get for riding the King of the Mountain is getting to ride the King of the Mountain.

Replace swords with chakrams. Remove the stamina meter. Add ring con and leg strap controls. Your stamina meter is now your actual stamina. Perform the mountain climber to climb mountains. Do the bow pull to use your bow (obviously), overhead presses to carry things, and maintain an overhead pull to keep the glider open. We can keep the Ring Fit controls for actions like opening chests and swimming (rowing).

The overworld itself was fantastic, but I wish it would have more secrets, or just cool places, like Mount Satoshi (or whatever it was). i think one of the advantages of weapon durability is it opens up a whole new type of reward (Cool Weapons) which helps keeps reward chests fairly random. The previous poster who said the chests got stale isn't wrong, especially if the weapon in the chest isn't any better than the stuff you're already carrying. If your weapon cache is full, you might decide not to bother looking for chests in an area. There's a lot of compelling reasons to explore (collecting everything like a God damned maniac) but there are also some discompulsions as well, like the fairly strict starting limits for what you can carry, paucity of rewards, overall shallowness of interactibility in the open world.

The limited equipment slots are even more noticeable on a second playthrough, when you know how to wreck enemies efficiently. I usually don't pick up bokoblin/moblin/lizalfos stuff anymore and I'm still running out of weapon slots very quickly. I'm not sure how to fix it, though. Lowering durability overall or giving enemies more HP wouldn't be an improvement. Maybe have more challenging enemies like the lynels.

I just wish when you opened a chest and your items are full, it just gave you three options: keep and discard another weapon, put back in chest for later, or discard.

mastajake posted:I just wish when you opened a chest and your items are full, it just gave you three options: keep and discard another weapon, put back in chest for later, or discard. Absolutely. It's stuff like that that I don't see how it gets through testing, it's not a *huge* thing on its own, but the whole "open chest twice because you're full and have to discard something" has to have happened dozens of time for anyone playing the game and it gets annoying so fast. How anyone could not immediately complain about it is beyond me.

I think it's more the timing of the ice block where the guardian sails over his head, rather than using the ice block at all.

Hey guys!! I finally got a switch and breath of the wild!! Super excited to take in the game and world! I fully plan on ‘getting lost’ and exploring however life takes me, I just wanna know, what are some good Quality of life tips and tricks I can do to make things go smoother for myself? Anything that I should do or keep in mind or collect that people usually wish they knew in the game? Thanks!!

That'll have you naturally run into most of the tutorial shrines, the guy who expands your inventory and lead you to the two villages with the most sidequests.

Sure, but I do also struggle to think of a AAA'ish game that is better at encouraging and rewarding just doing whatever seems right to you. I guess missing the one early combat tutorial shrine is the only thing that stands out as something that'd mess up the way one plays the game a tiny bit, but otherwise the choices just add to the flavor. Not like buying a heart or two first prevented me from rapidly realizing that I wanted more stamina, which I then quite promptly got, without feeling I had made a relevant mistake.

Eh. I don’t think I’ve parried anything successfully since the tutorial and the only combat that has given me any trouble is higher-level lynels and the trial of the sword. There are plenty of tools for dealing with enemies without being good at fighting!
