It turns out "being Tingle" is a horrible curse inflicted on people by a Mammon-esque demon of greed named Uncle Rupee who enslaves poor dupes into empowering him by giving him Rupees in exchange for one day granting them entry into the paradise of "Rupeeland" (actually a horrifying Hell)

From what I've read, there's a great touch for the main quest at Hyrule Castle that got lost in localization:

Apparently in Japanese Link uses the Adventure Log as a diary (iirc this was the case in BotW as well) and his entry for "Find Princess Zelda" indicates he wants to see her smile again. The fake Zelda gives him a mocking smirk before she reveals her true nature.

Oh man that's actually really neat :shobon:

I bet this guy doesn't even know about Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love.

quote:

Similar to Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, the game starts with an ordinary, 35-year-old man. While he watches a sales program on television, the man learns of a book called "Ripened Valiant Heroes Balloon Trip of Love". It is a story about a hero that leaves his parents to save a princess. The book, which normally costs 4800 Rupees, is being offered for only 2 Rupees. He orders the book, but he gets sucked into the world of a picture book when he opens it and transforms into Tingle. He learns that the only way to get out of the book is to dance with the princess of this world, which is the main goal of the game.

Tingle gets to know three new helpful friends in the world inspired by characters from The Wizard of Oz: Kakashi the scarecrow, Buriki the tin woman, and Lion the lion. The cheerful Kakashi is small and therefore he is able to get into small spaces, while Buriki is very intelligent and the cowardly Lion is notable for his strength. Tingle has to wisely use the abilities of his friends in order to solve the puzzles.

A central gameplay element is the romantic communication with female characters. To complete the game, Tingle has to have some form of relationship with each of the five available girls. To raise the girl's affections, he must enter the "Love Push" mode, and attempt to raise their "love meters". He does this by giving them gifts, where each gift has a different effect on each girl. Most gifts are purchased from Loveya for a certain amount Rupees, but there are some items which may be found laying around in various places.

It's a really fun game, for all the poo poo it and Tingle get.

The only problem is that in order to make it fun you have to evade the central mechanism of "you have to pay for everything and you have to guess how much no no clues whatsoever gently caress you that's why" or you will die more often than... me fighting lynels.

Find a price list online and it's got great design, great level design, fun characters and plenty of stupid jokes. It's baffling that they gated that behind the above incredibly stupid gameplay decision.

I’m trying to figure out why I can’t get dragon claws. I know how to pick up the shards sitting at the base of their back spikes, I can smack the horn on their head for a horn drop, but howwwwwww do I get claws? Can I only get a claw OR a horn? I hit the horn and the rest of the spikes dimmed, now my arrows shoot through their feet. I’m confused and annoyed by this.

I just want to get my fierce deity gear to level 2 and hopefully never upgrade armor again.

If you got time to kill, you can park Link on the dragon and wait 10 minutes to get another piece (and repeat that for as many pieces as you need). Just keep in mind elemental dragons need protection to do this safely (fireproof gear, Rito gear and Shock protection)

The "straight up" and "straight down" portions might be a problem if you just stand there. I've never grinded the dragons though since it's not an optimal way to get resources. You can literally just run around and do anything else while you wait for them to recharge. Or, if you're doing all of them at once I'm sure it will take at least 10 minutes to merely get to each of the dragons and grab the 4 fragments. So there'd effectively be zero cooldown.

I'm still amazed they went with the plot point of "Ganondorf takes a page from Reagan's playbook and floods Goron City with crack to destroy the Goron community." I guess he figured there was nothing he could do to Death Mountain to make it any more physically inhospitable than it already is, so he just had to attack the populace directly

No, you just need to stand behind the neck ridge when they start heading down and stand on the nose when they head up. Riding a dragon through the depths is soothing (and handy for spotting lightroots and whatnot).

They loop, so pretty much the same amount of time above and below I'd guess. They don't have timetables to come in and out of the specific chasms on their route though, unfortunately. I was hoping to be able to pick up eg the scheduled Dinraal 5.30am at Akkala chasm but alas nope.

It's more of an adventure game than a dating sim, that's just one of the components.

I had to dodge a bunch of lightning balls to glide onto the electric dragon, but walking around on its back I seemed to be pretty safe. Does the dragon target you if you stick around too long?

Not really. It's pretty safe right behind each of their heads, as long as you're wearing temperature specific gear. You can stand through the vertical sections or just find a place to cling on indefinitely. It's just boring.

This is how it worked in BotW, but for TotK they changed the dragons to not be linked to time of day progression anymore. Now when you pass time at an inn or campfire the dragons stay where they happened to be in their current loop. Dinraal, Farosh, and Naydra are on ~30 minute routes, the Light Dragon takes about 2 hours.

Is there are a go-to guide for materials all the one page?

I want to get a crystal off a frost talus, but I need level 2 snow gear to negate his frost effect, which means hunting red chuchus and scouring for a plant you can't buy that grows in a desert full of hostile bug people.

It's galling that after two sages, a hundred shrines, every lightroot, and nearly every side adventure, I still find myself short of even basic materials needed to upgrade a hat a whopping two points. The item economy is hosed, even for casual players.

Wait; what? Why do you need to negate the effect? Make a potion, or throw a fire fruit at him to thaw him? Or a red jelly. Or a fire Keese wing?

I don’t disagree the item economy is too broad, but you may be making this harder than you need to.
