I mean I wonder if it will still have fast travel like the first game, seeing as the towers are no longer in place.

Probably, if the world is similar in size a decent chunk of players will demand fast travel options.

Maybe you get a super version of Revalis gale, so glad I made a beeline for the Birb bois as soon as I could in this playthrough.

It's weird how whenever someone asks "what's the best route to take starting out from the plateau?" people usually answer with "go to Kakariko Village, talk to lady impa, then go to Hateno Village." I feel like the game pretty explicitly tells you to do that. The old man tells you to head for the twin cliffs and that's how you get to Kakariko. Are there people who, the first time they played, they had no idea what to do off the plateau?

Some people mash through text like it's going out of style. Then jump off the plateau at a weird location just because they can and get lost for a dozen+ hours. Not that I'm speaking from experience of course.

The thing is the game points you there but never actually tells you why you want to go there before anything else. (You want to go there first to unlock the upgrades to the slate / camera before you actually set off to explore). You leave the plateau with a vague idea of where to go and markers for the beasts and castle but unless you know ahead of time, you have no indication your newly found slate abilities can be upgraded further.

Isn't going to Kakariko Village made incredibly obvious as it's like a main quest anyway

Yeah but sometimes it’s fun just to meander in a very ADHD way going to check poo poo out that looks curious instead of going directly to the village and eventually and up there in a very roundabout way and it’s super fun. I enjoyed myself anyway.

Yeah there’s a marker on the map and everything. All you need to know is the twin peaks anyway, you can see them from far away and the road through them literally just goes straight to the village. The missions for the divine beasts aren’t triggered until you go to Kakariko.

track day bro! posted:This is gonna sound dumb but I hope there isn't any fast travel, most of the fun I have with BOTW is setting a desitination and getting there on foot. Then getting distracted by things on the way. i enjoyed wandering around and getting sidetracked but if i couldnt fast travel to finish off the sidequests and clear out the loose ends near the end of the game i would have lost my mind

I would not have finished anywhere near even a single playthrough of BotW without fast travel, just don't use it if you don't like it.

I knew perfectly well that was what the game was pointing me to, but I didn't see any reason to go do it immediately. Telling people they'll get inventory expansion and useful extra slate functions if they do is helpful.

Ignoring the main quest is de rigueur in open-world games, so it bears mentioning that there's actually a good reason to follow it for a little while to start with in the one.

The missions for the divine beasts aren’t triggered until you go to Kakariko. I don't recall if I noticed the marker on the map. I do know that, on my first playthrough, I wound up blundering around and found the West enterance to Karakiko after running into my first Guardian Stalker. I didn't find the East Entrance until I got tired of having very limited weapon/shield space and decided to look up how to increase my inventory.

I’m pretty sure ghost of King Hyrule told you to go there and it got automatically set as your active quest which created a big, blinking dot that you would see every time you opened the map… Although maybe the “Defeat Ganon” mission might have been selected which would have put the dot on Hyrule Castle. Either way it would have been on your quest menu. The game does exactly enough to tell you where to go next but doesn’t hold your hand beyond that.

Breath of the Wild tells you everything you need to know to get started. If you can't figure out where to go or what to do after the tutorial, you really only have yourself to blame.

my 6 year old can't read well enough to know what the game is telling him to do but he has taken down 2 divine beasts so far (Ruta and Medoh).

My seven year old has his own game going where I've beaten Ruta for him and he claims that it counts as his own win and that he beat him. So now I'm giving him the reins and he's not happy.

I went for Vah Medoh first because a) Wind Waker was my first Zelda game and the Rito were the only Divine Beast-adjacent tribe that were in WW and b) it’s a giant fuckin bird in the sky, that’s so fuckin cool!

I went straight to the desert because i decided to go in the opposite direction of the quest marker The game is much harder if you start in that direction I found

I hope that there is fast travel but all the fast travel is some (official) form of launching yourself really high in the direction of your destination and then gliding in for the precision landing.

I probably wouldn't play a game as big as BOTW if it didn't have fast travel.

Doing a limited fast travel playthrough was fun and I got to see a bunch of stuff I missed before. Only fast travelled when I was bored but mostly just used a horse.

I tend to limit my usage of fast travel because I just find that more fun. For both this and Skyrim, I went with the rule that I could only teleport between fast-travel locations, not to them from anywhere. This made the world feel a bit more real to me Edit: early In Skyrim I only used carriage-based fast travel, but eventually I gave up

I'll only limit my fast travel if the movement options are good. Even if BotW didn't have all the glitches that can make you super fast it would still be fun to move around in. The climbing, the glider, Revalli's Gale, shield surfing, it's all real fun using all of these to get to my destination faster.

I used fast travel a lot before I beat the game, when I went back and cleared the DLC I used the motorcycle to get the remaining Korok seeds and pretty much stopped using fast travel because riding the motorcycle around was so awesome.

Um, what? I've played Oblivion and I have no idea what you're on about. Sometimes I fast travelled between locations in Oblivion, and sometimes I walked/rode a horse/whatever. I get horribly lost in games anyway without a map, and most of the time even then. I still spent plenty of time in BotW loving off in a random direction, getting horribly lost, forgetting what I was initially doing, and falling off a cliff to my death. It was great! But sometimes I just want to go to a spot and be there, and for that fast travel is nice.
