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.

I agree, I thought the Plateau was a way better tutorial area.

Can I get up the tower at lookout landing to unlock the map?

To add to what the poster above said, after you visit the castle gatehouse for the main quest towers are the next unlock.

Ascend is such a simple and amazing ability that it must have taken so much effort to design the game around without it being a sequence breaking monster.

I'm beginning to see the Matrix. That came out of frustration when I broke another box halfway through trying to figure the "legit" method.

Is Zelda older than Purah? I’m a little fuzzy on the details but was she frozen like Link was?

zelda was trapped but conscious inside of calamity ganon for a hundred years, purah went through a botched youth-preservation experiment

zelda's gotten the rawest deal of all the protagonists in this continuity, link gets to do all the fun stuff while she's stuck with all the horrors

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.

Yep! Your metal weapons start sparking just like in the last game as well.

Slightly annoyed that every time you use ascend, it requires an extra button push to come out of the ground, but on the other hand I laugh every time because Link looks so funny peeking out of a hole like Punxsutawney Phil

I understand the purpose of it, because I once ascended right in front of a like like and went “sorry, wrong floor” before diving back down

Ascend is just a ridiculously cool power. Honestly the one I'm least impressed by is Rewind and that isn't because it is bad, just kind of average

Rewind is rad because it can turn any item you can stand on and manipulate with the ultra hand into an elevator

Holy poo poo. I found the coolest armor piece. Was down below in the Depths way down under the Gerudo Region, found a buried colisseum with a ominous cursed chest in the middle. After a gauntlet of like 5 rounds of various colors of Horroblin (up to Silver! They go even higher than Black now!!) my reward was a Sheik mask complete with the hairstyle. I was just grinning like crazy to find that.

Edit: Okay I guess it was in BotW too as an amiibo thing but I never really knew about it or didn't keep up with the mountain of amiibo bonus stuff. I guess that's a fun confirmation that you can find that old amiibo exclusive stuff out in the wild in this game?

We have decided to decline your offer of a butt kicking.
Beat water temple and I have to say, I am a little confused by the boss design choices. If having sources of water is going to be so important, why make your team up attack the only source of water provided by the arena? If they had just left the bubble emitters on, you could use your hand powers to meaningfully help yourself in the fight.

Wait can you do recall multiple times on a stone? You're standing on a stone, it goes up a ways, then times out. Just do another recall as you start to fall?

I think you have to wait for your Energy Cell to recharge. You can increase your cell capacity, so I assume those Sky Islands are gated by how many cells you have.

What's the strategy for fighting Like Likes? I'm fighting one that shoots boulders at me.

Edit: Figured out a pattern. It shoots the boulders in 3's. I reversed the boulder, which fazed it, and then I shot its tongue with fire arrows.

I was also getting frustrated, until:

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.

Generally I get closer, shoot at the core and rush in. The boulder one wants a bomb first.

Also remembered something I wanted to ask about strong materials: I found a diamond in a shrine and hot drat the attack. Does it make weapons fragile though? And what happens if I put it on a magic rod...?

There’s one right outside Lookout Landing, on a rock formation to the right if you exit towards the castle (the one two guards are looking up at). There’s a steward up there.

If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

This game!! I’m not reading very many spoilers in the thread but I cannot believe the amount of content in it just from a cursory glance. I can feel my mind and body rotting away in neglect as I become Link. Hyrule is reality and the real world is some bullshit we put up with between sessions.

Just want to thank everyone for being really great with the spoiler tags. I’d recommend always putting context to it just so readers can know if it’s something they might have seen or want to read. Makes going through the thread a lot easier.

Also I’m looking for a new thread title. This one was created in sheer excitement of the night it came out, but it sucks. Post or quote your suggestions! Right now I’m leaning towards “my roommate crucified a korok”.
