lol I spent the whole first day playing forgetting I could ascend and then my gf would be sitting next to me and go "could you ascend here?" and every time it was the solution and I went "god drat it"

I really only use rewind with fallen rocks or inside shrines but I do need to experiment with it more often

yeah there was one tower puzzle that made it so i will never forget ascend exists again and one boss fight that did the same thing for rewind. the powers are crazy loving strong

Every time I read about people doing things with ascend I feel extremely stupid. How does it help you launch gliders.

Recently used it to get into a tower and was one of a dozen "can't believe that worked" situations I've had already. Love when even the expected(?) solutions feel like you're breaking the rules

I think they were taking about rewind. You can pick a glider up with ultrahand and put it down again, then rewind it back up into the air.

I just find an enemy with a bow, hide behind something, and let them shoot at me. Then I just grab their arrows off the ground. I can usually get about 10 arrows out of this before I get bored, which is enough to keep you going for a while

I feel like they've been generous with the arrows this game. I'm finding x5 and x10 arrows everywhere.

Crates usually have a couple of arrows in them. Metal crates sometimes have x5s.

I went to one of the few caves I remember from BotW and its now a massive sprawling thing that cuts under an entire mountain and has a shrine inside. this game is absurd lol.

so cool that this is a game where this isn't an absurd and annoying ask

botw was clearly underbaked and went through a lot of turmoil internally. this feels like a labor of love.

Yeah I like BotW a lot but it's a very empty game in a lot of ways, it doesn't have a huge amount going on in terms of quests, enemy variety, dungeons, anything like that really. It's still an incredible game but this is exactly what I hoped they would build onto it in a sequel, I swear I've posted even before TotK was announced that I just wanted an expanded sequel in the same world with dungeons, more quests/NPCs and doubling down on loving with the physics and... Nintendo does it again

I was telling a friend earlier how TotK is giving me a really weird feeling

I just finished Octopath 2 and I felt like Octopath 2 made the first Octopath feel like a beta test. Octopath 1 was so underbaked and hollow and then 2 came around and was stuffed full of life, creativity, and fun and is an incredible game.

And then I start playing TotK and somehow this makes Breath of the loving Wild feel like a beta test. How. How the hell did they pull this off

Yeah, they spent half the BotW dev time figuring out the conceptual format and stuff, this is that same level of effort but applied to pure Content.
