Good-Natured Filth posted:I'm considering a play-through of the Zelda series. Or at the very least, the ones I haven't actually played before + the ones I really liked (so basically all of them...). I've never fully played Zelda 1. A friend had it when we were kids, and I think we did 2 dungeons together but that was it. I know when people talk about it nowadays, it's a lot of "I can't believe I remembered to bomb that random rock in the random mountain screen to find important item. I couldn't do that without a guide today." But I don't really recommend trying to 100% it on your first run. Just explore and try to find the dungeons and get their items, so that you can explore more and find more dungeons and get more items, and repeat until you murder Ganon.

GATOS Y VATOS posted:DLC is that you get to finally play Zelda but only as the Light Dragon circling around Hyrule endlessly. If you play for over 200 hours Link appears on a horrifying Zonai contraption, lands on you, attacks you for a random part and proceeds to gently caress off immediately. The rumors that if you play for over 1,000 hours you get to do the final boss fight will eventually prove false, but only after multiple people have attempted to do it.

All of my equipment slots were permanently full after like the first few hours of the game, not sure how you would have less than like 6 shields at all times by the end

What's a shield? I only have portable mine carts and flamethrower holders.

I mean I have 10 shield slots but I have never completed a flurry rush or parry outside of that one shrine so it might not be that important for me but I heard I needed a lot of them so... I've mostly been using them for things like "put hydrant on shield" or "ruby on shield for warmth" and sometimes because they look pretty (ring wreath shield, Zora shield).

I had fewer shield slots at the end and can't complete a parry to save my life, and it was perfectly fine. I think I maybe broke one in the final boss (skipping some optional fights along the way), it was way more about having the right recovery items on me.

It's always wise to bring in plenty of launch platforms. I suppose you could use them in combat too but time not spinning to win is time wasted imho

With about 170 hours into this I’m a bit sad that I’m about to be done (at least my “play every night” phase). After doing all shrines and temples, and fighting Ganondorf, was still really into appreciating the game so I decided to go on horseback along every road and obvious turnoff I hadn’t done before to try to finish all quests (except the Compendium) and caves. I’ll probably also do the Wells. I thought about finishing out Monster Hunting / Boss Monsters, but I think that’s feel a bit too grindy. Especially having to hover bike around the depths for hours. I’m also a bit annoyed I didn’t know Groves had chests so I’m missing some armor but oh well. Great game, beautiful, tons of fun. I think the BotW Master Sword/Guardians/Hyrule sequencing was a higher peak than TotK - IMO nothing can replace smashing Guardians to the tune of the metallicy-reverby sound of a powered up Master Sword laid against the Hyrule Castle music.

Finally jumped in the hole and defeated ganondorf. Final boss reminded me of ganondorf on smash bros: long wind ups, hard hits, and deceptively quick movement. Fun fight, especially how he can perfect dodge and counter flurries sort of. No match for the Lynel bow though. Thing wrecked the last two phases no problem. Nice, satisfying ending too. Minus link losing his shirt.

Beat the game, here are my thoughts. The story was superb and the end fight was hype as hell. I got all the shrines and all the lightroots, plus all the Sages Wills. I only did about 2/3 of Addison, half the wells and still missing 60 bubbul boys. I enjoyed how they packed interesting side quests into each point of interest that were genuinely fun. The atmosphere of Hyrule rebuilding was magnificent and it was great to see people have hope again after BOTW. I think the Sages were well done. It was fun being a gang wandering around Hyrule getting up to mischief. I got so used to my boys that I kept missing having them during the final fight, though I understand why. Overall it's a must own for the Switch. I need to go back and finish Breath of the Wild now to get a final bit of Zelda.

A moment I thought worked really well was that if you end up trying to get Link help teach a history lesson at the school in Hateno Village, the kids straight up don't believe the story about the Calamity until they see evidence of it. You could take a pessimistic view and say it's a dangerous sign of people not learning from history (except they do! They're literally learning history!  ), but I preferred to look on it as that after 100 years of the Calamity looming over everybody's head as well as the 10,000 years of awareness that it was always a possibility, you have people now who never had to experience that fear and dread, and I think that's super

I really like how it was a single ancient mural - that only depicts the Ancient Calamity, not the Great Calamity - that convinced them, instead of having Link just be like "oh and by the way I was and am that fuckin' hero with the sword"

As much as I think it's dumb that people don't recognize Link, there is a good running gag in them still not believing him even after he shows them the Master Sword. Man gets disrespected just because he's a short king.

I beat the game last night, when I decided to see if I was ready or if I'd need more sundelion food (it took up like a third of my food slots) or different weapons. I ran/snuck through most of the depths to avoid fighting, so that probably helped. I did not break a shield in the final boss battle! Not once! I also never got in a flurry rush and don't think I ever parried successfully, so... no shield durability issues to be had, I suppose. Far more useful than a shield was using the master sword as a baseball bat to send gloom back into Ganon. I got it pretty early in the game and figured out that it was very useful against Phantom Ganon so used that strategy here a lot. Also a Lynel bow and some bombs made very quick work of the second phase.

I'm not 100% sure why, but I remember thinking it was really good, reaching a new area, and getting stuck. Something didn't click and I couldn't figure out a puzzle because of it or something. I would recommend and will probably come back to it some time soon

Never heard of it but the graphics style grabs me, it really does look like the Oracle style. Looks like it's not on Switch, unfortunately, that seems like a perfect style for playing handheld rather than on a big screen.

So I am 150 hours into this game, 91 shrines, finished the four regional phenomena. I just now learned that if you talk to Cece while wearing the Hylian Hood, you can put it down like on the game cover and Amiibo. Lmao. Never in a million years would have discovered that on my own.

I was terribly late to the party in terms of getting a Switch, and am currently playing through BotW for the first time, almost completely blind. I figured I should finish it first before moving onto TotK. It hasn't been too bad thus far: one more shrine and I'll be able to get my eighth heart, most of my deaths so far were to Guardians before I got the upgraded bombs (turns out horses can't outrun lasers either!), and I've spent a lot of money on clothing, the house in Hateno Village and all it's furnishings. Found three of the memories, and then ran into my first Lynel past the Lanayru East Gate. Jesus Christ. These guys don't gently caress around, do they?
