I threw some fruit in a bucket and this magic horse came out and highlighted all sorts of points of interest for me and tbh I don't love it. It seems useful but I am not a huge fan of having this big gamey light pillars invading my view in every direction. I wish they just showed up on the scope vision like the pins, or maybe even not at all since I like finding things on my own.

They're temporal at least if that helps.

Oh ok, I'm fine with that then. Was wondering if that might be the case. Was just sort of worried that the whole game was going to look like that all the time.

Best Buy seriously hosed up.
I ordered one Majora's Mask Link and one TOTK Link amiibos.
They sent me two of the first and THREE of the second.

Guess I'm gonna turn a healthy profit!

I'm at the water temple and would appreciate a hint if someone has one to spare. I'm stuck on what to do about this thing that is spinning super rapidly at the top of a tower. I have tried a bunch of stuff, but I don't even know what the goal is. Get a bubble into the opening? Slow it down? Get in there myself? A semblance of an endpoint would do a lot to help me construct the solution.

shot at is core inside, I worked for me after like 9 arrows. theres a hit activated totem inside. it lowers the water level

centrism is a hell of a drug

One interesting things about this game is that I have no idea how to beat it. Like, after the tutorial in Breath of the Wild I knew I could win the game by going to the big scary castle to fight Ganon and everything else I did was just for the purpose of being strong enough to win the fight. 15-20 hours into TotK and I still have no goddamn idea what is going on.

I tried shooting arrows and even used a couple bomb flowers, so I figured that wasn't it. Thanks, I would have spun my wheels for a long time without that.

Just seeing rain for the first time. Is there still lightning that can electrocute you if you have an electric weapon out like in BotW? I remember that being a pretty nice touch in that game.

Yeah I was fighting with a tree by setting it on fire but the rain started and extinguished the flames so I started throwing hoes and rakes at it and got lightning to fall on it

Pretty proud of myself

Has anyone found the classic Tunic (from the amiibo in BOTW)? I want to B-line it just to have my classic Link look because I'm a basic bitch.

Someone said all of those are in the depths so I'm wondering if I should just spend a lot of time down there trying to find it.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Did they take out the shield parry mechanic, or have I just lost my BotW muscle memory? I’ve tried it a few times and gotten hit for my troubles.

Also, man, it is really jarring coming from a game as accommodating as Jedi Survivor right into this. No, you can’t rebind the controls. No, captions stay on. No, that’s what color the pins are. We are Nintendo. Feel fortunate we let you turn off motion aiming.

Well well well
Where the gently caress is the second shrine in this bitch

Edit: I can see one but it’s in a cold area and can’t see any other ones. I’ve been walking around this dumb sky island forever :-(

I feel like the navigability of the starter area is way worse than BOTW. All the different tiers and things in the distance that you can’t actually get to makes it feel frustrating.

Are you trying to do it with the block button maybe? You parry with A.

There's a shrine specifically for shield parrying but in classic BOTW fashion it's up to you to run into it and find it.

Man, the caves are so good

They feel very cavey

Like, instead of feeling like they were built for humans to move around in, the caves feel like they were natural formations, twisty, confusing, hostile to human traversal

I seriously started thinking about YouTube’s about cave explorers who died, thinking well of course they died, how can a human safely navigate this

I gotta go back to the Starter Hell and grab a minecart for shield surfing. or finding more bombs and see how tall I go.

Also I found a really good Zonai shield, what are the best Zonia stuff to put on one that's not a flamethrower that ruins durability?

They really did fix every small complaint with BotW. Enemy variety and dungeons are insane. Can't believe how rad the build up to the Fire Temple was.

I got there too and noped the gently caress out after a few minutes in the temple proper lol. All the poes collected on the way there was enough.

I'm planning on going counterclock wise to activate all the towers, turn on every shrine I see, then when the towers are done I bang out all the shrines I found and become buff.

I think starting off by visiting all the shrines you can see is going to be a big quality of life improvement, having a few extra hearts and extra stamina to hang glide from the towers is a big plus

It's in the shrine north of the first town.

Wolf link is gone but I got a bunch of meat for scanning the amiibo. Even random amiibos give you something (scanned some animal crossing cards and got some random power ups). Plus you can ultrahand the chest afterwards (but.no fusion that I can tell).
