I'm really curious what the Hard mode is going to be once that comes out, cause I'm 30 hours in and still am having a heck of a time w/ 10 hearts. I finished getting all the towers last night, and think I'll go for the memories I haven't found yet next before going to the NW Beast or back to the desert to finish that.

Oh my God. The two truffles dipshits have made it all the way to the jungle. How the hell do you make it all the way from Hateno to Lake Floria and still not know how to fend off Bokoblins?! Link should start up an escort service, he'd be rolling in rupees by the end of the week.

I spent last night looking for a second Great Fairy Fountain, and instead just found a bunch of extremely out of the way shrines, a memory, and a very good horse. Exploration game still going strong. Tonight I'm gonna finally start doing the Goron quest. I got the fireproof armor, did the town shrine, and then left like 2 days ago lol.

I think the 10,000 years ago is before Skyward Sword. In Skyward Sword, there were ancient robots in the Lanaryu area. I think Hyrule got really technologically advanced a long time ago and then Ganon showed up to put them in their place. All this technology still exists yet every Zelda game has the people of Hyrule living in medieval style and sometimes they just barely get some technology going. Whenever they get too close to getting advanced technology again, Ganon reappears to shut them down. They might defeat Ganon, but he destroys enough stuff that people go back to living in the dark ages.

SettingSun posted:Still kind of early in the game but this has been nagging me. I know the Master Sword exists because you can see Link wearing it in the memories and I'm pretty sure about where it is. So I have a question: Is there a story quest that says to go get it or do you have to piece it together from some other source and just go for it? No story quest, but it is exactly where you think it is.

This game is amazing. Question about the music...the theme that plays while the game loads (on this screen: https://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/a5bbdor_700b.jpg) and when you first go in a shrine sounds really familiar but I haven't seen anyone else mention it. Is that music taken from an old zelda game or something? I feel like it plays in one of the LTTP dungeons.

So is this game the culmination of the three timelines return to whole? There are references to multiple time lines in this game, so I think the "split timeline" thing is over and the timelines have reached a point where all things have come to pass in a variety of ways and returned to whole.

Nah, Ganon himself is a reincarnation of Demise, and his history is closely tied to that of the Master Sword, which came to exist in Skyward Sword. Although, you could argue that that the names just got muddied over the millennia and the Ganon from 10,000 years ago was just Demise. Anyway, weirdly advanced technology isn't out of place in the Zelda setting. That world is littered with dungeons that are full of moving parts and robot eyes that shoot lasers. The Twili magic also has a lot of technological aesthetic trappings. I think this is a world where, due to the fact that magic is real and a thing that people can use, the concepts of "magic" and "technology" and "science" can't really be distinguished from each other in a meaningful way. Because like, if you could use a haunted rock to make a magic ipad with apps that affect the real world, why wouldn't you?

Oh no.. the Animal Crossing amiibo cards work  They only give like a few herbs and meats, but I have packs of those cards. Butter Hole posted:I knew I recognized it! I haven't played link's awakening since I was 12. I might be due for a replay. It's one of my favorite Zelda games, tied with Majora's Mask! A very large part of that is nostalgia probably, but the world and atmosphere in Link's Awakening is very special. Play it!

Re: answer to ceremonial trident shrine questBruceski posted:do a jumpstrike on the pad yeah what this guy says and not what I did which was to literally follow the song thinking that 'gift from the sky' meant I needed to be super high. and ride the water fall up and do a paraglider drop strike from the top of the waterfall, which killed me. I didn't realize I had died though because the cutscene of the shrine appeared happened and Mipha's blessing saved me. I only noticed at all because Mipha's blessing was suddenly on cooldown. I love the feeling of this game when you figure out an enemy. Last night I came across a zebra Lynel, he was guarding some chests on the western edge of the map between Mount Lanayru and Zora's Domain. At first I was like, gently caress this I'm out I don't want to lose half my weapons and a big chunk of my meals to this guy. Then I decided to at least give it a whirl. It went nearly perfect. Just understanding what patterns are going to get you flurry strikes. The other one I believe I figured out completely are Hynox. For the first couple times I fought these guys I just kept running under their legs, but it's much quicker to kill them by standing in front of them. Either you perfect dodge their attack or if you don't and it misses you just shoot them in the eye. They won't cover their eye after a missed attack. That stuns them long enough for a good chunk of damage. Finally I came upon a major test of strength. I won on my first try, but I save scummed and redid it and didn't lose a single heart. I was hitting myself for not realizing that when they do their spinning laser attack that you can paraglide over it and hit them. Coincidentally I could not fot eh life of me get the dodge timing down on their slow guardian axe attack. Good god I loving love this game.

Soo...just found out you can mount Lynels. This owns. Also you can easily kill lynels by stun locking them. Stasis+, smack a bunch, use an arrow to stun with a headshot, smack a bunch, by the time they recover you can use stasis+ again, and that's all there is to it.

Is that the mountain with three clawed protrusions on top and a small spring under a cherry blossom tree? I went to it specifically because it was glowing and found a poo poo ton of Blupees and some sort of glowing blue deer gathered around the spring. I shot at the deer thinking it was some uber-Blupee but that just scared everything of and I got nothing for my trouble.

So I beat the game last night and just wanted to get a few thoughts out there. Pros: -Even though combat got very tedious and I tended to avoid it after clearing my second region, simply due to not wanting to have to manage weapons and the rewards were not worth it unless you're gunning for a very particular armor set to upgrade, it was still engaging just by being able to do crazy stuff with the runes from time to time. Nothing like using Stasis to throw a large Moblin off a cliff face. Or trying to get to the Ridgeland Tower by concealing myself with frozen pillars. -With the exception of the shrines there was generally multiple ways to do whatever you wanted to do. Be it a open world puzzle, getting from point A to point B, uncovering secrets, etc... Really helped with the slump that a lot of open world games fall prey to. -While I felt climbing everything was going to be a problem because nothing would be interesting to climb, which is true, the system did have the advantage of really allowing you to get around a lot of bullshit. Like I could go through Hyrule Castle and kill a bunch of enemies I don't need to fight for loot I don't need, or I could fast track my way up. There is a huge mountain range between me and another region I want to explore that would normally require a fast travel backwards and a super long walk, or I could just cook some stamina restoration food and take a quick hop over it. So while I was disappointed with the promise of the system, it's benefit in combating the tedium was worth it. -Not a big surprise given it is Zelda/Nintendo but the way they worked puzzle elements into the open world was amazing. Shrines are understandable and expected, but they did really well with content outside of them as well. At least where you were in the curated spaces and not just the random wasteland. Cons: -The world is loving empty. Sorry, a random herb, couple of birds, and a single enemy every 30 seconds does not make for a packed experience. Korok Seeds may be all over the place, and I do give props for Nintendo finding creative ways of making something stand out to investigate, but in the long run they're the most pointless currency/collectible in the game, especially after you've recovered the first 15-20. Now if you stick to the roads you'll come across almost every major feature in the game but once you break away from that you're either in one of a few highly curated spaces or in a vast wasteland of nothing. -I couldn't stand horses, which made travelling all the worse until I'd unlocked the towers and a number of shrines in between. Even with a high bond rating they'll still occasionally just do their own thing out of nowhere like get stuck on a terrain edge or run right into an enemy you were set to avoid easily. -Sailing was so painful I avoided it all costs. I actually looked up the quickest way to get the Zora armor just to avoid ever doing that. -Rupee farming. While it wasn't too bad to get enough cash to purchase 3-4 armor sets, replenish arrows, and meet the needs of the storyline, it was a major concern and annoyance from beginning to end always feeling like I had to keep part of my attention devoted to making the next buck. If you don't care about buying the house, if you don't care about more than just the two critical armor sets (cold resistance and fire proofing, or farming materials to replace those and getting one or two you really like), if you don't care about getting the third and fourth fairy fountain, it probably isn't that big of deal. But if you do welcome to money hell. -Granted I haven't played the past couple Zelda's, but Ganon was a major disappointment. Partially because I had completed all four Divine Beasts quests and the bonus from that really helps shorten the fight but I felt boss fight overall was a major let down. -The lack of markers was a mistake in my view. All it meant is I spent a lot of time entering the map and creating my own pointlessly. I never cared about marking some particular vista or interesting scenery, I was marking shrines, collectibles I couldn't reach or solve yet, major resource nodes, enemy camps not easily visible on the map, all the stuff every other game gives you markers for. I get some people feel that takes the "magic" of exploration out, but different strokes for different folks. To me it just created more busy work.
