Jsor posted:In the intro, Link's clothes are described as being a little small, as if he's grown a little. Not surprising given he's been out for 100 years (though you think he'd not grow at all, but whatever). The voice also mentions that Hyrule needs him to be its light again. This could be a reference to The Hero in general, but it makes me seriously wonder if this is a former child Link who has already saved Hyrule grown up. I'd guess WW or ST's because of Koroks, where this is Hyrule with the great sea finally drained. After 100 years without a hero in Hyrule, I just wonder what Ganon's up to.

Harrow posted:Yeah, I have the feeling some people are going to go into this expecting Witcher 3-level quest density and come away thinking it's garbage. To be fair, Witcher 3 works really well with the space it gives the players to explore, far better than most RPGs that claim to have open worlds. But Witcher's 3 combat is also pretty meh at best, while Zelda's combat right now looks pretty damned fun.

The korok "puzzles" are literally the most UbiSoft thing about this game, and unsurprisingly the worst part of the game. I've enjoyed pretty much everything else about the game outside of weapon durability, but I got used to durability as part of the overall flow of the game. I'll never again go out of my way to pick up another isolated rock on top of a hill to find yet another stupid korok. I'm at the point in my game where I feel like I am carrying around enough weapons and shields and bows. It's not even that they are lazy, because it obviously took a LOT of work to put 900 of the little bastards in the game, and provide all the environmental hints that shout "hey, they're somewhere around here!" They're just a let down to run into, as opposed to uncovering some of the shrines that are particularly well hidden. I'd have been happy with the koroks simply being completely removed from the game, and in their place adding more shrines/dungeons/locations of interest that don't involve me lifting another metal boulder with my iphone magnet, then dropping it into a convenient hole in the ground/tree stump so I can hear YAHAHA! again.

Spergatory posted:I feel like Korok Seeds are a good reward because: The problem for me isn't that I have to find eeeeeeeeeeeverything in the game, so much as this is something that is pretty much everywhere and I don't care for it. At all. Before I stopped even trying to solve Korok puzzles, there was a part of me still hoping that when I did finish a dumb rock circle or drop another apple in another prayer bowl, something, anything else other than a Korok would pop up. In a game full of Things to Find, this is something that is boring and nowhere near as rewarding as any one of the shrines, or one of the NPCs I save from monsters, or the encampments, or the towers. If the Koroks weren't something to find in the game, nothing of value would be lost in any of those other Things to Find because there are so many of them as is! Hell, stick some inventory upgrades in those encampments you clear out, as opposed to a chest opening dramatically to reveal the amazing Amber chunk I already have like a hundred of from having climbed every mountain in sight with hammer in hand. That'd actually improve the value of those encampments/chests you find in the field.

Jonas Albrecht posted:My Impa disappointment is that in the memory where Zelda has some Sheikah cart your dedbod off to the Resurrection Shrine, it's just two random rear end mooks and not Impa and Purah. It's probably the the carrot and pumpkin patch Sheikah before we meet them as old men, or at least members of those families. That's what I want to believe, anyway.

I like this game a lot because it's the new Zelda and I have always enjoyed a new Zelda, even Spirit Tracks. It has the absolute worst dungeons and bosses of any 3D Zelda I've played. The shrines were a neat idea, but after a while I stopped being excited to find one because I already knew what my reward was going to be. The Divine Beasts were incredibly boring by themselves, and only Elephant and Camel felt interesting in any way to me because the lead up to them was really good. I really dug helping out the Zora and the Gerudo. It felt good, the actual invasion sequences were pretty fun, and really played up to the sheer scale of what we were attempting to do. This in turn further enhances the overall scale of Hyrule. These were good... and then you get inside and it's more "find a map and five terminals, please care about the voice that is talking to you now". The visual design in each beast is bland as hell, and the ability to control parts of the beast, while awesome on paper, just doesn't hold up against the best of the franchise's dungeons. It says a lot about the enemy designs in this game where your most interesting opponents are regular encounters outside of the dungeons and shrines. Designated boss enemies can't hold a candle to a Lynel, what amounts to an ascended mook. Unfortunately, of the limited enemy types, only the Lynel really stays interesting by the end of the game. Bokoblins, Lizals, and Moblins end up being nuisances that, in some cases, are simply there to soak up weapon durability. Fortunately, there's basically no reason, ever, to fight the spongier variants outside of wanting to. Weapon durability still sucks, and it made me wonder why Link's blade wasn't "broken" at the end of one of his memories where he apparently Dynasty Warrior'd a mountain's worth of enemies, including numerous white lynels.
