I'm gonna try to beat Twilight Princess this weekend in my abandoned HD playthrough. The game demands me to do some fishing to continue the plot. Fishing in games is my kryptonite.

Speaking of kryptonite. Another reason Twilight Princess sucks, you can't transform into/from wolf form around people. Who the gently caress cares if Link can turn into a wolf? He's not Clark Kent. There are no stakes in keeping this secret. Uggghhhhhhhhh.

Do you want to burn at the stake for being a witch?

So is the WiiU version of BotW going to be available digitally or did I mildly inconvenience myself by just assuming it would be? I would have thought it'd be up for preorder on the eshop by now, but all I get for searching is a bunch of videos.

It's digital (as far as Nintendo's Japanese page says). Preorder isn't up yet for it.

Are you talking about the Amazon preorders? I didn't even think about that. That's hilarious. How does eBay even handle something like that? Make the seller eat the fees?

Technically they're not supposed to allow preorders as eBay prefers you actually physically have the item you're selling. Auctions could be killed or seller gets negative feedback if a refund is somehow not feasible and eat fees.

The fact that pretty much every article said that if you set foot outside the plateau without being prepared, you pretty much die instantly from the elements/enemies?

Besides I'm sure the embargo had more stipulations than simply "the first five hours".

A couple outlets noted they can't name places or enemies, etc too.

You can use it. He'll just have 3 hearts. If you do the Cave of Trials Shadows in TPHD you can get more.

Ancient Cistern is an excellent dungeon. Definitely my favorite in Skyward Sword. And best boss music (even if it was used with Moldarach first) before Ghirahim's multiple boss tracks.

It says "will be arriving by Friday" for my order but it still hasn't shipped. I get the feeling that not all Amazon buyers are going to be getting it when they were promised.

Or people such as me live so close to distribution points that they won't ship until Thursday night and show up on Friday just fine.

hi what does the orb you get from the blue hinox do. sorry if this was probably asked before

If you are where I think you are, that is one third of a key to open a shrine. That area has 3 Hinoxes of different colors and in between them all are 3 holes for orbs, kill each one and take their orb to a small plateau to place in a hole, if it doesn't turn blue, you put it in the wrong hole.

You can pick up the laser :aaaaa:

In another shrine, you can also stasis a laser for a delayed action.

Is there anyway to see the current durability level of a weapon/bow/shield?

There's no granular number to look at but there are icon and states to it. If there's a glinting in the corner of the icon, it's brand new. If the entire item is blinking red, it's about to break. Other than that, you're depending on the item's description to hint at its durability (i.e. bone arms will say they're brittle or whatever while stuff like Knight's Shield will promote it's durability).

How exactly are you supposed to use the Sheikah Sensor? I turned it off immediately when I got it because the constant beeping ruined ~my immersion~, but I'm trying to use the upgraded version to find things now and the sensor just seems... random. Is mine broken? From the description it sounds like it will beep faster if you're going in the right direction, but even when I'm going in a straight line it will rapidly change.

You turn in a direction until the sensor grows and then you start going in that direction. If there's multiple resources it'll freak out a bit because you're surrounded by them. It gets even squirrelly when your target are living things that move around.

So guardians have gone from terrifying me to a joke in the span of 10 minutes. Turns out you can infinite stunlock them with arrows. I kind of assumed they'd shut their eye at some point but no. All you need to do to kill one is let it walk up to you behind a wall. Then you run out, shoot it once, stab with your weapon of choice, shoot it again for another stun, repeat. The only thing keeping me from hunting them now is that it would be hell on my weapon durability.

You could also just perfect parry their eyebeams. Requires learning some timing though.
