My goal is to find a boar, fuse its meat to my blade and defeat Ganondorf with a pork sword.

Is there anyway to get back to the beginning of the Sky Island cave? Hit the title drop and realized I was supposed to pick up a shirt while I was in there.

I'm sorry but the starter island has some really loving stupid level design. Progression to the third and final shrine wasn't really clear, so I was following what I assumed was the correct path. I came out of the bottomless mine or pit or whatever it's called and couldn't find a way up to the shrine as all the walls were ice. I figured there might be a path up further down the trail, so onwards I went. It took me to a little waterfall thing that required me to hop down, but the way back up is all sheer ice so I couldn't get back up. I still didn't realise I'd hosed up and was looking for some kind of internal cave that lead upwards, before realising I have just reset myself all the way back to the start without being able to get to the shrine.


Red is the path I took after exiting bottomless mines, once you fall down the little cliff that looks easily climbable until you realise it's ice and not rock, you have to follow the green path all the way back round again. Absolutely ridiculous. I know I'm an idiot, but I'm not that much of an idiot. I circled the entire pillar that had the shrine on top and couldn't see anything but ice. I realise now I should have climbed the roots. My brain just considered it backdrop and I thought there'd be a more obvious way up.

I put the Switch to sleep and will do it tomorrow because I really can't be bothered dealing with the 30 minute backtracking.

Stitching trees together and climbing them lets you bypass just about everything to do with getting up to the cold shrine

Just did my first tower and dove straight back in, killing myself instantly.

My stomach hurts from laughing.

I was not prepared. This is why I went in completely blind and tuned out of seeing any recent gameplay stuff or trailers because holy loving poo poo.

Finished one dungeon yesterday, it was really drat fun and I enjoyed the boss even if it was way too easy it was some really fun.

Whoever said this makes BOTW look like a tech demo is 100% correct.

None of it is in the trailers or gameplay lol

I hope whoever decided to place the third (?) intro shrine on a snowy mountain top dies in a loving fire. You have no hearts and no stamina at this point in the game, no way to protect yourself from the cold other than a handful of peppers that give you about 10 minutes to figure things out, and you move more slowly in the cold.

Up and up this motherfucking mountain until the shrine is in sight… and then you have no way to access it. It’s surrounded by icy walls you can’t climb, the timer is ticking down, you’re stuck and you’re hosed. Game over rear end in a top hat, thanks for the $70.

Why the gently caress is something this difficult and obtuse so early in the game?

GiantRockFromSpace posted:

I think there's a cave or something that lets you get there, but otherwise I'd say it'd be a good test of thinking outside the box if it weren't for the cold. BotW gave you ice clothes for a reason.

also give me a korok mask i'm bad at seeing patterns. also where does Hetsu go after the first meeting? I think he's not in town yet.

I think this is the intended solution. Everyone who does it this way with the stuff they give you to do it with gets that part fine and people doing ??? Else seem to struggle.
