Was there a shrine there? I think I found the same one and couldn't be out of there fast enough.

Found the same thing and managed to beat the hands using bombs. Then I found out the hands were just a prelude as Phantom Ganon showed up and one shot me.

Now I'm go get the camera with Robbie in a chasm, what's the best way after? Kakariko or the Rito? Or is there something else I wanna unlock ASAP?

I mean I agree that the patent is nonsense (probably because of prior art, but I’m not a patent lawyer), but i literally laughed out loud when he suggested that Nintendo’s patent lawyers are doing filings by auto translating from Japanese.

I mean I wish they were. “Hey Nintendo, I’ll do your patent filings! I promise to write in actual sentences composed in English. $2000/hr”

Posted yesterday but here's the main stuff you want to unlock sooner rather than later.

After finishing the tutorial do the drat quest at the starter town and get your paraglider.

At some point early on do the follow up quests to unlock the full functionality of your iPad.

Great Fairy is unlocked at Woodland Stable to the north east of the starting town.

The path to Rito village from starting town has the Korok guy (he moves to starting town), the newspaper questline, and Impa's questline (near Serenne stable) which you're really going to want to unlock sooner rather than later.

A couple other things unlock at the starting town later on so come back after major story beats to check up on it.

You always want to fuse your weapon, unfused weapons do no damage and break a lot faster. Drop some monster parts and fuse it.

You can throw items by holding R then selecting it using the dpad, don't waste all your arrows when throwing will do.

I'm such a loving idiot and will continue to be an idiot for the whole game.

I was trying my hardest to fuse a bunch of logs together to make a ramp to get up an unclimbable wall.
The logs to exactly fuse together like milled planks and walking on them is precarious AT BEST.

...you can just prop them up vertically and climb them like a normal tree. Me dumb love game.

I only have Ultrahand in the shrine . I just watched a video and a power wheel popped up but that never happened for me. I'll try again later but it felt like nothing I tried with LB did anything.

The "pause the game and slam down food" aspect is unchanged but they did nerf it in a couple of ways--


- There's no convenient "go to the place that has 80 durians floating around", yellow-heart food is significantly less common in general
- You can only carry half as many prepared foods this time around
- There's a new mechanic that temporarily damages the heart containers in addition to dealing damage, so the containers can't be re-filled until they're undamaged via a different kind of food or other means
- The temporary heart damage mechanic mentioned above also treats all your yellow hearts as one red heart, so the first hit you take from any enemy with that mechanic in play will pop your temp health like a soap bubble

When Link first wakes up at the sky island; seeing that weird mechanism and thinking, “this is something I can get to, but can’t just yet.” Is Zelda as gently caress and I love it.

Also, Hyrule hits so different without a paraglider goddamn. It’s almost treacherous even though it’s all so familiar.

A lot of the shrines this time around are worth doing because they explicitly tutorialize a lot of the "oh poo poo you can do that?" stuff-- I don't remember where I picked up "recall elevator" from but it was 100% in a shrine

there's also at least one shrine I ran into that tried to tutorialize something and failed horribly because I still don't know what it was trying to get me to do, whoops

Is there a way to the surface from the depths without fast travel? I've been warping but it feels like there should be a more organic way up, like places to use ascend or something--I haven't found any, and it kinda sucks having to warp somewhere I've already been to get out of the underground.

Explored a bit more, found The Barbarian armor LMAO this early, and a stable and I can confirm yiu get your BotW horses back. And maybe the ancient horse gear is gotten from the points?

Battle Talos were a nasty surprise, I broke several good weapons on them but I guess they give back a good fusion mat?

Also it seems you need to need to start the newspaper quest to unlock the great fairy? Or so it seems since the ones who may help unlock her talk about that.


I miss infinite bombs and Cryo but game rocks hard.

EDIT: Okay, I do have a second complaint, no indication how to use the free materiald around the world to make moving cars.

I’m still on the opening area. Played last night for two and a half hours. Ultra hand is hard to get used to, and then it clicks.

You all weren’t kidding but it really does make BOTW feel like a tech demo. I’ve been vaguely spoiled of story/gameplay till just after this area, and I love that beyond that, it’s all mine to explore and I know nothing.

It’s fantastic, and fills me with joy.

It’s already GOTY.
