Forgot to credit Asterite34 with the thread title. “Can you fuse the dog” and “FUUUUUUSE me, Princess” were very close runnerups as well.

Hey glad to know I almost made it :unsmith:

I am so loving stoked for this game. I'm not disappointed at all that it has the same map with add-ons- I wanted a sequel to BOTW and this is it. It's also really am blown away at just how smooth the transition from dropping from a sky island to the ground is- the Switch is drat long in the tooth and was never a real powerhouse to begin with, so seeing there be no stuttering or obvious loading was beautiful.

I'm really curious on what kind of superweapons will be taking the place of such things as ancient arrows- since as far as I can tell Shieka tech is nowhere to be seen and we will be dealing with the even older(?) Zonai technologies and abilities, will there be some kind of weird material that you can fuse to an arrow to make it into a one-shot killer?

My take is that the ascend ability won’t make dungeons obsolete, but it potentially can make a new way of exploration possible to find secret passages or ways around a seemingly impossible way to get to a cave offshoot. Think of what CAN be done, not what can’t, that is what made BOTW great.

There's the dragon head flame thrower you get to stick onto a shield

This may be a controversial opinion, but I stand by this hot take:

I'm really looking forward to playing Tears of the Kingdom.

Can't believe they reused the map. Standard game development is to scrap all code and tear down your office and start fresh. No reusing code, hire new employees, nothing from the last game carries over

The next Zelda game will be completely different. This is the continuation of BOTW so it’s fine.

The other trick against Lynel attacks is getting good enough at shield parrying.

I learned today you can stasis guardians. Learned this because I use stasis to pick out harvestables and a stalker came into view. Here I thought I got gud doing a master playthrough. Very easy to deleg stalkers.

However, it's way less badass than my other method of open-field stalker kills: dodge lasers until I can use fire to fly up (no beasts yet) then crash down onto a leg. Once one legs gone it's over.

Lynels though ugh. It's just a slog.

For a fun surprise, go the the Hyrule Castle grounds (outside of the giant doors) and stasis a Guardian and watch what happens!

Heavy Metal posted:

On seeds, I myself feel comfortable when I have about ten weapons on me, and I want 14 slots so I can have a hammer and leaf and torch or whatever. I want as many weapons as Doomguy etc.

I’ll be honest: my first game play through I was one of the lucky ones that hit that one week window where there was a glitch that could get you hundreds of korok seeds/poops in a matter of an hour or so and I maxed out my slots. The glitch was patched by Nintendo toute suite and I still have that save where my Link is a loving murder god. But I’ve also started the game around 5 or 6 other times in a separate slot just to play again. I always feel mostly satisfied with 4 shield slots and around 6 sword slots then the rest in now slots. Sometimes I don’t even get up to that many on my restart games so the challenge is fun.

Also donning the shieka gear and being a silent sniper with arrows is one of my favorite ways to play

The only time I've ever clicked with motion controls was with the Wii's Metroid game- being able to move with the thumbstick and then point to aim and shoot with the wiimote was perfect for me. Other ones I simply cannot 'get'.

Just the fact that you can now simply lob chuchu jellies and effect flowers instead of needing to 'activate' them by throwing them and then hitting them with an arrow is a huge improvement in my eyes. Also the inclusion of so many new effects plants like that confusion one is great news.

And lol at being able to fuse a bomb barrel to your shield and when struck it damages enemies but you are safe behind the shield.

It's really impressive that they were able to edit Groose out of every single frame of video

One of the most powerful new powers in ToTK is the ability to summon Groose from the sky.
