The whole thing takes 7 minutes to do. I remember failing the first time a couple minutes in when I was traveling too close. 2nd when he turned backwards to go to the log at about 5 minutes in. The second time right at the end when I saw the Shrine and thought I could just run directly to it after 6 minutes. And then did the whole thing. That's 20 minutes of slowly walking, loving lame.

I failed it once because while I was trying to be stealthy as I shot the wolf he spotted me. So I did it again and the wolf stayed dead from the previous time and it was no trouble at all. Just boring and hard to see on the tiny screen, because I play in Switch portable mode.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:Actually in hindsight, since you can run ahead and just wait at the shrine for 5 minutes, I wonder if you could just wait by the questgiver and then just run along behind. If he legitimately doesn't need your help even with the wolf I would laugh hard. I just shot the wolf as soon as I spotted it. It is hilarious if it legit doesn't do anything to him, but when you think about it he's wood, so unless the wolf wants a chew toy....

I failed it once because he thought there was a ghost and turned around. I think I got it on the next try. I was wearing the ninja sheikah gear by the way. I think I actually killed the wolves.

More info on how losing the Master Sword works. I'm reminded of something Maxwell Adams said around a decade ago when he was messing with Oblivion. "The game will crash if you give it enough reason to."

Jesus Christ 195 hours later and I'm staring at the finish line, since I explored Hyrule Castle earlier and now I am prepared to face down Calams Ganon. I could write a big post about my feelings on this game but it'd just be easier to summize it as "the hype was real" and "yeah the bosses were kinda toothless." So, anywhere I might have missed thats cool and should double back to? If I was to answer my own question, Forgotten Temple is a wild ride. Seeing all them lasers and realising the trick is to NEVER STOP RUNNING  was great!

Runcible Cat posted:Have you done Eventide Island? Yup, it was pretty good. I tried to do out of the box thinking with the boss there but the explosive barrels despawn if you go too far away.  I'll refrain from clogging up the thread with replies, just hit me with suggestions, some gem might have slipped through.  Also the music for Hyrule Castle (both inside and outside) is great.

There's no follow-through after the first few similar notes, and there's no thematic reason for that song to be in there as a leitmotif, so I'd chalk it up as definitely a coincidence.

Augus posted:the fact they programmed a failsafe for dropping the master sword is pretty awesome This and the Blood Moon triggering whenever memory is low are really drat smart. It's impossible to make a game this big and emergent free of bugs, so they made the game recover gracefully from bugs, and work that recovery into the narrative so that you aren't completely pulled out of the game when it happens. This is the quality and attention to detail that's characteristic of Nintendo and that made me excited to see them take a swing at this genre.

EnvyJ posted:What?? please explain People have observed that you can provoke a Blood Moon more quickly by killing enemies and destroying stuff -- causing effects that the game has to keep in memory. A Blood Moon resets the world's state, and people have seen it trigger more frequently than it ought to, and during the day. So it looks like it's a recovery mechanism that frees up memory and resets the world to a known "safe" state.

Goddam I like walking around and just picking mushrooms and apples My Zelda timeline is hiring Ocarina when it came out and hating it, actually 100%ing Majora's Mask and loving the dark atmosphere, then trying the NES one and LTTP and just not caring, then downloading BOTW on my WiiU and liking it so much and hating the 8 minute load time just to start it up everytime I bought it from the E Shop So yeah my Zelda experience is Majora in 2000 then BOTW and that's just fine

s.i.r.e. posted:According to the comment though it actually doesn't return to the forest and I guess is completely lost? I imagine since he somehow managed to clone items, the animation played for his cloned Master Sword, which he lost immediately because the Master Sword can't actually drop, but the forest itself only has to check your inventory for the Master Sword to make sure it doesn't appear. So yeah, I think the safeguard for glitches glitched out (but not in any game-breaking way).

According to the video description quote:The game actually has a fully-functional failsafe in it for this with a completely unique message and visual effect. "The Master Sword has returned to the forest." (You don't actually lose the Master Sword when you do this, just whatever weapon was in the dropped slot.)

I wonder if it was a leftover from an earlier test version, where the Master Sword did not recharge in your hand when broken, and instead you had to go back to get it, similar to the way the other Champion weapons work.

Nah, he's making the game think he has the master sword equipped when he's holding a different weapon, which he can drop, so the game thinks he's dropping the master sword. s.i.r.e. posted:I'm surprised it even got translated. Most translations are done in a spreadsheet before they're put into the game, so basically everything gets translated regardless of whether the player can see it or not, to the point where it would be more surprising if it wasn't translated.

Anyone else notice at times severe animation lag? It's to the point I almost think the console has frozen, like a full second or more. Specifically I've noticed it most often when fighting Moblins, right at the point they're changing over to the ragdoll animation, both at the last hit of a combo that knocks them over, and death.

Just finished A Link Between Worlds, it's pretty excellent and exactly what I needed after BOTW. The dungeons and bosses are fantastic, and the merging mechanic was pretty cool. Now back to Ocarina I suppose... I hate the part I'm at though, inside Lord Jabu-Jabu's belly babysitting the Zora girl.

Funny enough that's what I played after BotW, then OoT, WW, and I just finished Majoras Mask (for the first time). I think for me now it's the NES games as they're the only ones I've yet to beat, then maybe the Oracle games, if I'm not burnt out.

To reiterate some of the other things that are not terribly spoilery but common in the thread. 1) Arrows can be pre-lit from torches. 2) Stasis enemies for entertainment and for tactical advantages. 3) People forget that they have Cryonis 4) Prioritize upgrades with Dragon & Ancient parts. Cash is nice, but the upgrades are nicer. 5) There is a Horse Fairy in Faron 6) The game encourages you to enter Hyrule Castle from time to time. Don't save it all for the end game. It has great loot. 7) Spin to Win 8) Don't spoof Amiibo or you'll get a stern talking-to. 8a) I just spent 5 hours grinding Hinox and Dragon parts for the Fierce Deity upgrades.
