Finished the game and promptly watched the first speedrun

holy poo poo. They really DID take everything about BOTW and amplify it like 2.2 times over. Playing through the game, I thought there would be no way to emulate the endgame feel of BOTW, but it's like the EXACT same, you just need to fight your way through an absolute army of poo poo.

This last diving challenge is an absolute MFer. drat clouds mean I can’t see where I’m meant to go so it’s just kinda about memorising the route I guess which is a pain compared to the others especially with the added danger

Make sure you're wearing the clothes from previous versions and then it's easy at full dive speed

Am i forgetting something about how to get into the lost woods? As soon as i step into it it teleports me out, i thought there was a path to the centre.

I have a quest to visit the Deku Tree and i can't figure out if i'm just being dumb.

As above so below

Yeah it wasn’t the doing it so much as the not being able to see where the rings and platforms were because of the cloud cover. But I got there eventually and now I soar through the sky fast as poo poo omg it kicks rear end

How many main quests do I need to do to unlock all the basic functionality? I have the paraglider, and my latest main quests are "regional phenomena" and "impa and the geoglyphs". Is there anything else I should unlock for the new ipad or should I be good?

Talk to Robbie and Josha at Lookout Landing and do their first quest.


I just kinda decided to wander over to Eventide on a whim to see what’s what and I ended up doing that whole quest AND the colosseum in the depths beneath without dying and now I have extremely high-level weapons for where I actually am in the game lmao I haven’t even got all the towers on this version and only done the one dungeon (12 hearts and two stamina wheels). I feel pretty good about that! Spears are so OP I love them. The helmet you get there is pretty fuckin rad too.

Joshas quests at lookout town unlock a key ability. Progressing Robbie's quest unlocks some minor functionality. You may or may not need to investigate one regional phenomenal before some of that progresses

Any suggestions folks have as “I wish I did this earlier”?

I don’t care about spoilers or surprises, I just want to avoid wasting time with my limited schedule for games.

Basic things I’m thinking of are:
-how to get stamina up quickly
-how to get the armor/shield/etc that will carry through a good chunk of the game
-secrets that open up the world faster

Do Robbie and Josha's quests ASAP.

Also follow the breadcrumbs to Rito village and tackle that Temple first. It not only gets you Hetsu access if you follow the roads, the ability you get for clearing the temple is incredible and makes getting around both faster and easier.

I wish I found Hestu before exploring the majority of the world except the one spot he was occupying and going to the lost woods to find his home, though he will move if you do one temple.

Just unlock your camera/autobuild early and get more battery juice for vehicles early from bosses in the depths so you can trade in your horse for horsepower to get around.

Tell me, small fry, have you ever heard of the golden Triumph Forks?
Have managed to commit the bow dupe glitch to muscle memory, after which I cloned about 20k worth of diamonds, 50 big hearty radishes, 50 large zonai charges for capsule dispensers, and a bunch of large zonaite for battery expansion. I feel much less irritated with the game's economic scarcity, now.

Does every well have something inside? Actually do they get check marks at all. I swear some have ended up having the froggy snowflakes or some mini dungeon loot or whatever, while others have been like... A real well, hole with water at bottom, maybe some ore or fish. Always feel like I'm missing something in those but no bomvable rocks or hidden crevice to duck through.

I have been engaged with the resource scarcity and exploration loop in this game, but I know full well the satisfaction of removing a resource system you're not enjoying out of the way and it's nice.

I got over 20k rupees selling normal gems and diamonds and such a couple days ago and went absolutely hog wild on the dream home. With your new wealth, you should go tinker with your dream house because this entire thread is slacking. Post your houses, I can't be the only one.

Front wheels being small wheels might help it go faster and maneuver better. The big wheels are better for off roading over hills and streams but I always plop on some little ones up front if I need speed or to point myself better.

A late-game spoiler I managed to start halfway through:

Am I insane, or is everything about controlling Mineru worse than just going on foot? She drains your battery just to walk, she's slower and can't dodge enemy attacks nearly as well, the weapons you put on her hands don't last any longer or do more damage than if you just use them as Link, whatever damage she takes just goes straight to Link anyway. On the trip to her Temple the game's throwing silver Moblins at me, and I just whack it once, it takes a couple pixels of damage, it falls down and gets up, and that repeats twenty times. Maybe I didn't use her guard ability enough, is that more effective than a good shield?

I rather appreciated the fact that the game makes you immediately run through a guantlet so you can appreciate how terrible at combat the mech is, although part of me wonders if it's not an issue where the world and enemies can scale up but the mechanisms/mineru's damage doesn't, so if you spent any time loving around maybe it feels worse than it would if it were all still browns and blues?

really though I just threw cannons on her arms and use her for excavation to save durability and bombs

e: I'm doing her first on a no-paraglider-so-far run so maybe I'll get mileage out of no fall damage, if that's a thing that works

I think it's rare for an open world game with scaling enemies to hand you a new alternate combat mode/murder vehicle and for it to not just feel much slower/clunkier with animation locks/lower damage then what you as the player can do or pull out of your pocket to do more at that point in the game after you've mastered the combat systems and have a zillion consumables.

Probably because it just gets playtested less or the developers focus on the fancy animations without noticing how unfun it is to be locked in place doing them for long periods for peltry damage.

I've got 3 piece owl set and I'm working on upgrading it so I can make an attempt at using vehicles instead of a paraglider for the situations that require it

i guess technically speaking "have enough fairies to just survive fatal falls" would also be an option

Nope, it was bugging me too and the most notable thing I could find on IMDB was her as the English version protagonist's voice of that French Ladybug superhero series.

Also Ganondorf's voice in this is real fuckin bad. It's not even the acting-- it's the huge disconnect between the pure ancient evil jacked wizard thief king sounding like a 32-year-old Target manager holding a morning shift meeting. He sounds like pleated khakis.
