Please teach me how to play this game, I love it so much but I suck so bad :negative:

One of the most important things to remember is that it's not a race. It's tempting to just run out there and start wrecking mooks, but that'll lead you to overextending. Spend some time at the start of a mission fortifying the areas around your starting bases, taking over forts and outposts. If you get a warning that a nearby base is in trouble and it's close to your home base, then you should peel off and take care of that.

Is there a way to tilt the odds of certain characters' weapons dropping? I'm drowning in loving Hylan Swords but I'm not getting a lot of other stuff.

The lack of voice acting is killing me when compared to the likes of the DW games themselves, it's only made more painful since the between mission narration is fully voiced!

The last DW game I played was 3 way back in the day; I do kinda miss the bad voice acting. "You're a better warrior than I have heard! :haw:"

To get a reward in adventure mode do you need to play with the right character? Like if the A rank reward is a heart container for Impa do I need to play as Impa?

Yeah, if the reward has a character icon on it you have to play as that character to earn it.

So what are some good stages for grinding weapons? I've been doing Valley of Seers/Sorceress of the Valley since it's pretty easy, has a lot of forts, and two guaranteed weapon drops that I know of.

If you complete the first Skulltula illustration, you unlock an awesome "Rewards Map" seperate from the Adventure Mode map. The first mission in the Rewards Map is really, really good for farming weapons, materials, EXP, rupees, and unsealing skills on weapons. The monsters are super easy for any character to kill and the 6 generals start off neutral and surrounded by enemies, and since they're neutral they won't go lower than 1%. So you can just farm around 1000 kills for weapons, materials and stuff, then go recruit a general, kill the other 5 super fast since they're at 1% hp, get their silver/gold materials or weapons, and kill the boss. Every time you clear it you get a 40k rupee bonus, and if you have a weapon with Slots+ and Stars+ on it and a potion from the apothecary you can get really good weapon drops. It's my favorite mission for just fuckin' around and lazily killing stuff, stress-free.

Good to know, even though I'm a ways away from that (I only just unlocked Zelda since I'm trying to take things slow and chip away at Adventure Mode).

Here's my baby, level-23-with-only-Darunia-and-Midna-unlocked Adventure Mode stages I've played on so far. The one left of the starting square I really looked for that heart piece for awhile, but I need a break. I think I'm going to focus on Legend Mode and just make sure to get all those heart pieces, containers and skulltulae. I'm sure this, my personal gaming experience has been interesting to all.

Wow, using Excel to track Adventure Mode stuff is a very cool idea. Any chance you could share that?

Some people have been posting info on the Master Quest DLC on tumblr. Zelda gets a Hilda skin, and Ruto gets one based on Lulu from Majora's Mask (the singer of the Zora band).

Yeah, the special is kind of cool visually but it seems like it takes forever to go away. If they cut out Lana patting the tree (???) then it would be way more bearable to me.

It doesn't seem to have a lot of range, either. I feel like I'm only hitting like 10 guys with it no matter how surrounded I am.

Just so I'm clear, this is the breakdown of what Sheik's elemental songs do:

No element: A simple damaging explosion.
Water (bS): Generates a shield that absorbs a set amount of damage.
Fire (bbS): Creates a field in front of Sheik that explodes after a second.
Thunder (bbbS): Wide damage field around Sheik for a few seconds.
Darkness (bbbbS): Summons a "black hole" that sucks enemies in.
Light (bbbbbS): Creates a field that refills your special (yellow) meter while you're in it.

Right?

Aeralfos because you have to wait for them to land to do any real damage, ReDeads because of the stun field, and any huge boss because you have to wait for them to decide to reveal their weak points.

ReDeads are the absolute easiest enemies. You just stay out of their stun field, lob bombs, and then whack them when they land. I'm always thrilled to see a million ReDeads because they're an absolute breeze.

The biggest problem I had with the last Ganon fight was the gap between skidding to a halt when running from his charge and being able to fire the arrows. There was a lot of "run to avoid everything, his weak spot glows, stop and fire, and miss because his head moved or the weak point stopped glowing" going on.

The great thing about BBY is that it stops at the perfect distance to Y-charge up to it and hit Y again to blow the thing up for massive AoE damage. Be sure to blow up BBBBY cubes as well.

It should be a new option under "Adventure Mode". It's a map that has every named character on it as bad guys.

I found it. I tried it as Ruto, playing her for the first time, and totally flopped, then managed to clear it (with a C for damage and a B for time), but I didn't particularly notice that I leveled a ton. I think I gained a total of two levels and about the normal amount of rupees, although the materials rewards dropped from killing all of the good guys were quite nice. :D

I'm still in the early 30s for levels though, which I don't feel like is going to be good enough for adventure mode.

I think it's not so much for leveling as it is for rare character drops.

And I've done a ton of stuff at level 30 in Adventure Mode. It's kinda more dependent on your weapon level than your character level.
