Okay, holy poo poo, October has been a weird month. Lots of poo poo's been going on, schedules have been super weird, and we put out our 1000th Mega Let's Play video, which was a huge personal time black hole. We're finally back on track, we've got a whole bunch of episodes in our backlog now, and we can keep things going through to the end from here. So let's get this thread back on its feet. Half now, half later after tonight's new episode goes up: Part 127: "Where the Road Goes, Where the Day Flows" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAEboP8w0sg Part 128: "Toast-Jammin' Earl" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFi5SxenNX0 Part 129: "No Memories" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pG4Fbbmk1E Part 130: "Wood Glue" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfJGUJ3p8S8 Part 131: "Don't Ask Me Questions" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX_SXs_9RGE

Zelda gets more character in that frog flashback than she does in almost every other game named after her combined.

I can sympathize with wanting to actually be back in memory times and get to know all those people as they were. It'd be an interesting game, with the plot missions being like to track down Zelda when she's gone off somewhere and room for exploration otherwise, but it'd be even less a Zelda game than this one.

So hey, this is the rest of that catch-up, I was talking about, with a bonus episode! Part 137 was... actually intended for tomorrow, so we could line the week back up, and I spaced and put it up on Saturday night. Er, whoops. Part 138 is coming Wednesday afternoon, and we'll be finishing out the rest of the game from there! So let's check a few last things off our bucket list... Part 132: "Wüdenfüd" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvkDg7oar-U Part 133: "The Last Tower" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYosDj8cROc Part 134: "Mañana Tomorrow" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soM8uswnzxM Part 135: "Oops, There It Goes" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAvgyeZRgu4 Part 136: "I Still Wanna Be Invisible" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fQ5BbIvU2E Part 137: "Become Steam and Die" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3OR4ONb3Sw Sindai posted:Zelda gets more character in that frog flashback than she does in almost every other game named after her combined. Yeah, that Memory has WAY more of a spark to it than most shots of Zeldas across the franchise. Except Spirit Tracks Zelda, she's rad. Glazius posted:I can sympathize with wanting to actually be back in memory times and get to know all those people as they were. It'd be an interesting game, with the plot missions being like to track down Zelda when she's gone off somewhere and room for exploration otherwise, but it'd be even less a Zelda game than this one. I would almost love to see The Champions' Ballad feel a bit more like a traditional Zelda game, with a vaguely-followable course of actions to take, or even a bit open-ended like A Link Between Worlds.

Zopotantor posted:How far are you planning to take the new Mario Odyssey series? There are supposedly almost as many Power Moons in that as there are Koroks in BotW... So I've heard! 800 Power Moons, I think? We're gonna do similar to what we did here, I think -- generally keep the ship steered forward, but diverting as neat things present themselves, potentially going back for fun stuff after the fact. I'm not promising we're going to get all 800 Power Moons in the lead-up to the end of the game, but I'm also not not promising we'll never try to get them all. Glazius posted:Yeah, Hyrule Castle's a giant payoff, both as a big complex dungeon and a worthy source of lore about the day the world ended. It's been pretty great so far!

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of update with Part 140, it fell a little behind, but went up earlier in the weekend. Part 141 is up now, and we're clearing out the 12th memory on our path to the end of our grand adventure. Part 140: "There's Some Science Going On Right There" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5DyP1SgCqA Part 141: "No Ruths Allowed" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btxqw1fswI4

Didn't you know? The only place ninjas can't hide is in your memories. And with this, the final episode, we bring our adventure to a close: Finale: "The Scourge of Hyrule Castle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQxyBHAn4SI It's been a hell of a ride, eight long months trekking across Hyrule. It's had its ups and its downs, we've learned an awful lot about what the game has to offer. There's a lot we've missed, and we won't be continuing with the game directly from here, but we are planning on taking on The Champions' Ballad and exploring a bit more later on in the winter, so we're not 100% done yet, but for now, the journey is at its end. Thanks for riding with us, guys! This was a blast, and definitely wouldn't have been the same without everybody in this thread.

That tick story was horrifying. I guess you don't have to worry about TBE as well as Lyme; that seems to be restricted to Eurasia. Also, good on all of you for finishing this! Now go and make more Mario videos.

Ah, there's your "all memories" ending. I do like what Zelda says before your victory lap around the boar: you've always had your courage with you. Kind of echoes what Impa says when you show up to meet her, and the King when you leave the plateau: Link is a guy who has the courage to do a thing.

Sad to lose the Obliterator, but I had heard earlier on that DLC2 was worth the cost of the entire Season Pass all by itself, and I'm starting to see why!

Absolutely, YES. We actually already recorded Part 151, but moving apartments has hosed with our schedules pretty badly, so we haven't had a good opportunity to put more together yet, so rather than put a second solo episode out, we're gonna give it another week and hopefully come back next week with daily episodes again. Not leaving this one where it lies!

Yes, there is a snowboard course completely separate from the one you need for the Champion's Ballad. Of course there is. This is Breath of the Wild, the one thing you can count on is that there's something you haven't found yet.

Okay, interesting... so after you clear the three trials in each area, you end up encountering a challenge version of the Blight Ganon fights... which ends with you getting faster recharge times for your Champion abilities. Kind of a weakish reward, but I guess I can't complain too much, it's still a reward. Part 152: "Yin & Young" | Kiah Toza Shrine - Master the Orb, Windblight Ganon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nl8wBI41P0 Part 153: "Your Hometown and Crack" | Mah Eliya Shrine - Secret Stairway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVkLejJ_NkI Part 154: "Clicky-Click Man" | Kee Dafunia Shrine - Melting Point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnKeE1F0lxI

So we're headed to our second Blight rematch, and I have to say I'm glad that the minimized-inventory battles make these much more of a puzzle than the first time around. Because your weapons break, you can't just rely on doing damage, you have to keep your runes in mind and get clever with how you utilize the items that you're given. Basically, there's a reason Waterblight Ganon has an episode entirely to himself here. Part 155: "Support and Guidance" | Sato Koda Shrine - Support and Guidance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1hUhH--jMc Part 156: "Outside Me" | Waterblight Ganon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3boUXC8rE5I Part 157: "Good Enough" | Takama Shiri Shrine - Dual Purpose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6aOav2-cOw

Huh. So apparently there are a few shrines you can find in this game that are just straight up blocked until you complete a quest. I don't think that's happened to us before? But I guess we can take a swing at it, and hopefully we can track down this last shrine for the Urbosa trials... Part 158: "Bought a Lot of Bottles" | Kieve Tala Shrine - Big or Small, The Perfect Drink, Northern Icehouse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YMX7fYCD24 Part 159: "A Lot Smaller Than It Started" | Northern Icehouse, Misae Suma Shrine - Misae Suma's Blessing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF01oHo4UMk And as a very special episode for today, the one-year anniversary of the release of both the Nintendo Switch and Breath of the Wild, we decided to double back and take another try at the Master Sword Trials. God help us. Part 160: "Merry Switchmas" | Sword Monk's Shrine - Beginning Trial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIvIy26pXKk

Those were some pretty neat gimmicks in the electricity shrines. Especially steering the laser - that's probably one of the best things you've gotten gyro control over. Aside from the golf hammers, those were pretty good.

Yeah, that one was pretty unexpected, it definitely was a cool use of the gyro controls. All I want is a game with 120 gyro puzzles now. Where the hell was that, Wii U? YOU HOLDIN' OUT ON ME?

Okay, THIS was a super awesome and unexpected way for the Final Trial to end. loving hell yes, I think we've all been wanting something like that since Day One. Part 165: "A True Hero" | Shrine of Resurrection - The Final Trial, Monk Maz Koshia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_tvMRxEYKQ And with that, I do believe our Let's Play of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has come to a close. There are a handful of quests left over (like the second and third Sword Monk Trials, around half the Shrines, most of the Korok Seeds, building a house...), but aside from potential special one-off videos down the line, this is the end of the line for our regular updates to the series. I'll probably be poking my head in a bit over the next week, but after that I'll likely be leaving the thread behind. Thank you all for coming with us on this journey over the past year, I hope you guys have had as much fun traversing Hyrule as we have (and are looking forward to BotW Link's arrival in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for the Switch), see you around!
