If you think that's freaky, try learning about it the other way around, being down in the depths and you just see a loving dragon flying around.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
Man this game is incredible. Again, liked BotW just fine, but it didn't captivate me even close to how this game has. Can't stop thinking about it when I'm not playing lol

Looks like Nintendo copyright struck the discord server with all the custom emulator builds. Matter of time I suppose.

centrism is a hell of a drug

I own a switch lite. Is the game playable? I’m worried that the construction mechanic will involve extensive rotation of objects using motion controls that won’t work well on the lite.

Object rotation is done on 2 axis with nonmotion controls.

Anyone had any luck with amiibos daily reset working? Bet it doesn't help that Ryujin says I have -11 hours of play lol. The time fix hacks fix the save slots but don't seem to impact amiibos reset

Also anyone find fire proof armor that isn't the ugly Goron set? I have the rupees to buy prices but it's ugly and I didn't like it last game either.

the fireproof solution for fashion of the wild was always fireproof lizards with dragon horns for 30 minutes of stylish fire immunity

i think the only other single piece of fireproof armor that exists is the vah rudania helmet and in terms of fashion, well

It is, you hold the right shoulder button and rotate with the Dpad, no motions at all. As far as I know you can't even use motion if you wanted.

What's the deal with the nighttime gem vendor? I started the quest, and his brother moved to Tarrey Town, then said he appears on the hill to the NW at night time. It's been like 15 in-game days, i've checked every single one, and he hasn't appeared once.

Quest log updates to reflect that he "sometimes appears northwest of Tarrey Town at night".

Ohhh right, I forgot how elixir strength worked. Better monster part is longer time. Yeah I'll just crap some more of these longies out on portable Zonai furnaces when I need to, in too deep to go get armour now and I have a few more lizards and 8 minute potions.

Also has anyone played around in the depths under Death Mountain yet? Been getting solid 30fps w vulcan usually but this place is slow mo 15fps. Depths fos normal elsewhere.

Speaking of stuff from the last game, has anyone found a good yellow-hearts source again this game? I keep getting trolled by the devs for going to good old-game locations usually by the fuckers throwing down those ganon hand masses

You can kill the entire mass of those with like 4 bomb arrows right in the center. And any defense up food renders the spawn afterwards to half a heart damage. Def a terror in the first 5 or 10 hours of the game, but more of an annoyance after that.

I've been killing them just fine, they're just a bit of a pain and I suspect I just haven't found the proper "the trick" yet which I suspect is just going to be sitting down and finishing Riju so she can electrozap them all for me

but yeah no it's honestly just low key hilarious how many places they've popped up that are just pointedly "you remember this as a good spot from botw, well gently caress you" -- the durian farming spot, the old location for the teleport medallion, the old location for the hylian shield, the list goes on

e: I guess "the old location for the master sword" also sort of counts

I think they intentionally made those resources something you have to scrounge around for. I found a few good spots in secret springs of hebra. Quest for them but have only found 2 I think so far. And they're usually nested within a cave in a pretty magical spot, that's the most truffle I've had in one spot. Haven't found any good yellow stamina spots.

I guess it makes taking a heart an actual sensible option, rather than something you do only to get master sword before converting back to stamina

Whoa I haven't found any of those yet but MGS Sustenance island from BotW was by far my fav dungeon/shrine/level. Good to know!

This game has some long rear end cutscenes, I need to pee after a boss fight can talk chill out

I don't think so. OoT and MM are different games doing different things, while it looks like TotK has pretty much all of BotW in it, plus some other stuff. Less a sequel, more a replacement.

I feel like this game is already much better than BotW, which I loved. Just everything better with more to do and ways to mess around, stuff to explore, better music, better characters and adventures and quests, better progression.

MM is my fav Zelda probably always will be but OoT feels a lot closer to it than this does to BotW.

If that's the boss I'm thinking of you just hop on the steering wheel and it's easy to steer. Without the steering wheel you just move around on the glider to tilt it in whatever direction. Fun fight btw. Really loved that, hope there's a jet bombing range later on because I could go for some more of those.

Okay Mr Engineer, but have you tried cobbling together every nearby part into a hellish prison from which nothing could budge?

I think there's a way to complete each of them with just one, maybe two parts, but that's a self assigned challenge. Seems like it's more of something peppered around if you find yourself without rupees and food and low health, giving you a free rest ticket.

Barreft posted:

Haha I saw those planes with the big battery and stuff and was ready to just fly away and explore with it and come back but the fight was fun once I realized that's basically how to start it.

These are like classic boss fights properly using some new mechanic or gimmick or theme ahh I love it. So much more satisfying than fighting a green techno ghost in a mask over and over.

There's also sword duels! Well you don't have to use sword but I love a good 1v1 Link versus swordsman.
