This has probably been asked a lot, but: how does the Wii U version stack up to the Switch one? I keep hearing conflicting reports about framerate and stuff. I'd prefer to spend $60 for the game rather than ~400 for the console and the Switch version.

Framerate got a bit better with the recent patch. Wii U version is good enough for most people.

That's Ganon's Horse. I only have a Japanese WiiU to play on, so I named it Kokuouh-go (http://hokuto.wikia.com/wiki/Kokuo)

Sup, here's my Raoh cosplay.

Holy hell how did Nintendo gently caress up horse controls so bad? It's impossible to control one, and I'm using Epona too.

Are you bonded to the max? That's sort of important if you intend to control the horse.

It was probably the FPS boosting patch (if you're on the switch).

FPS patch already happened. This is another one that just came out today.

Assuming this isn't tampered footage or anything Link had the Master Sword and then it...got the gently caress outta there?

Game logic gently caress up because you're not supposed to drop the Master Sword when you're electrocuted.

Wow.

I don't mean to bitch constantly about the game but between this and the horse summoning limitation that doesn't even make sense, it seems like the developers really went out of their way to be obnoxious about a bunch of small QoL things.

Wasn't a problem for me and the DLC gives the perma-shine when you do the trial for it. So it'll be even less of a problem? :shrug:

what does guardian resistance mean because a direct hit wearing the legs still wipes out almost all of my hearts

You have to complete the set for the benefit to take effect.

Edit: I'm a forgetful idiot.

Durian supremacy. Faron is a goldmine.

There's a tower in Faron right next to a mini-plauteau filled with durian fruit and trees and it's only guarded by 2 Lizalfos. It's a nice farming spot.

Is there a good writeup about BotW's dev process? This game is amazing and I want to know how exactly they did it - did they get new blood who had actually played recent open world games, or what?

Nothing too in-depth, but Nintendo put out a few videos about it:

One of the loading screen hints mentions a'vendor at the far reaches of the continent that trades in heart and stamina vessels.' Is that actually a vendor for hearts and such, just a statue like all the rest, or the respec one? I would just Google it, but I'd rather get hints about it as opposed to straight up what it is.

Respec statue.

Someone earlier said its name in Japanese translates to something like "World's End", I think.

And that actually makes more sense because Hateno is described as one of the places untouched by Calamity Ganon's corruption.

How do you even make a campfire? I put the wood and flint down, but hitting it with a metal weapon just breaks the flint.

How close is the flint? It's sorta picky about distance.

What makes a horse good oruseful anyway, I've never bothered to learn their stats because I ran and climbed everywhere

Strength: Not 100% on this but supposedly tied to mounted combat.
Speed: Obvious.
Stamina: How many times you can use the full gallop with the A button.
Temperament: Determines the horses attitude, doesn't mean much once you max out bond.
Bond: Are you best friends with the horse? Full temperament will allow you full control of the horse, otherwise it will veer off in different directions.

So maybe it's just the increased activity I'm doing in-game from the DLC but does anyone feel like Blood Moons are happening more frequently? I'd typically see a blood moon perhaps once every other session, but as soon as I started hitting all the new DLC I'm getting it twice per session on my Wii U. And by "session" I'm talking 2-3 hours of playing.

Have you quit the game entirely in between these sessions? The frequent blood moons was evidence of a memory leak.
