I guess this confirms there's literally nothing you can't climb as long as you have the stamina. Holy poo poo.

All Zelda games forevermore should be required to have Bomb Arrows, which was TP's greatest innovation. I hear that there is a sort of trick to accomplish a similar "bazooka" effect in Link's Awakening; I need to play that!

There are a number of differences from a randomized game to the normal game. Here's a short list:

The game text is in Japanese (this obviously isn't different if you are used to playing in Japanese. See below for why.)
Chest items and items given to you by the bottle vendor, Sahasrahla, the flute boy, the sick kid, the purple chest, the hobo under the bridge, the catfish, King Zora, and the old mountain man are randomized. Note that this doesn't include chests in the various chest games throughout Hyrule.
The rupee maximum is now 9999.
You can't turn the tree kid to wood. This is to prevent being unable to get his item.
Escaping the castle at the beginning of the game no longer requires the lamp.
In the light world, you don't need the Lamp to see in the dark.
In the dark world, the crystals will display on your inventory screen even if you haven't defeated Agahnim.

Also, there's four eerie monoliths in front of Hyrule Castle, so...

Wait so there are only four dungeons in BotW?

This game is getting less exciting every day.

I never get the complaint about the voice in LTTP for GBA. Link shouts when he swings his sword in every single game after the original version and no one bats an eye. Why is it suddenly unbearably annoying?

Cojawfee posted:

Really only Jabu Jabu is annoying and boring. The Deku Tree is pretty easy and Dodongo isn't that bad. Jabu Jabu is a dumpster fire though.

Appearntly you can just run over to Ganon's Castle and try to kill him from the near start.

I bought a bunch of bomb arrows and they don't explode. Did I buy duds or am I doing something wrong? There's a bomb arrow on the front of my bow, I shoot it and it hits something but doesn't explode on impact.

Lynels shrug off all the elements except for Urbosa's Fury. I don't know about the ice taluses, but the igneo ones are temporarily cooled by frost weapons.

Louisgod posted:

Do gems have another purpose outside selling them to make money? Coworkers and I are wondering as one sells them, another's hoarding them (I do too) and I don't want to sell them if there's a better use for them at another point.

Harrow posted:

A future game could be designed around it, though. Like maybe it can only hook on to wooden things (any wooden object, not just pre-set hookshot points) and has a limited range, but you can use it to do things like launch yourself into a glide.

PantsBandit posted:

Need a hint on a puzzle. I'm supposed to cast a cold shadow on a pillar? I thought maybe ice arrows but that doesn't really explain the shadow part

PantsBandit posted:

The first lynel is the point where, if you haven't been bothering to use food buffs or upgrade armor, you can hit kind of a brick wall. It's cool though because it encourages you to use all the systems to prepare for the fight, kinda like The Witcher.

This might surprise you but people complete quests in different ways.

Here's my strategy for almost every fight in this game.


3. Turn off Urbosa's Fury

Fortis posted:

Wait. White Lynels aren't the same thing as Silver Lynels?!
Oh god.

On another note entirely, I find it pretty interesting that after you finish Vah Naboris, Urbosa says that Calamity Ganon "once took the form of a Gerudo." I wonder if that's a result of weird translation or if they're intentionally conflating Demise and Ganon.

You can also wear the sand boots, thunder helm, and revealing top and not trigger it.

Yes, I experimented.

UZR IS BULLSHIT posted:

The number of blessing shrines is my biggest letdown with the game so far.

When I see a giant target painted on the side of a mountain that might as well say SHOOT LIGHTNING ARROWS HERE I should get an awesome puzzle to do as a reward, not get told "you solved the puzzle so here's your spirit orb."

Roundabout Route posted:

Whoops. Just double-checked and yeah, it's 500 meters. Also that video doesn't start at Tabantha Tower, it starts at another tower closer to Hyrule Field. Herpaderp.

Doesn't change the fact that the Twilight Bow is absolutely obscene and I hate that Nintendo charges you $12.99 for it, IF you can find the amiibo in the first place.


I can't even imagine how obnoxious a Darknut fight would be with degradable weapons. It'd take half of my stick of choice's durability just to get its armor off before I could actually start damaging it. I could only see it working as a special end-of-area boss that gives you its armor afterwards as an equippable set.

gently caress Redeads too, getting frozen by Ice Keese/Chuchus in this game is annoying enough.

I hear a lot of people complain about enemy variety in this game but I honestly believe the developers made the best choices they could considering how they backed themselves into a corner with the durability system. Weapons break so frequently that if the devs put a lot of enemies in the game that don't carry weapons, it would actively hurt the player's experience. It's why we don't see Bari, Kargoroks, Peahats, Tektites, Skulltulas, or Leevers in this game. The few weaponless enemies that the developers did put in also wound up having low health because of this.

With this in mind, I dunno what other enemies they could put in and still maintain the game's balance. Maybe monsters that don't use weapons could have their body parts fall off like the Stalfos arms in this game. Bombchu tails as explosive flails, Skulltula legs as boomerangs...

Cojawfee posted:

There's no math or anything needed in the game. The number listed on the item is the damage it does. Unless it crits, in which case it will do more damage on the last hit in a combo. Bows that are x3 or x5 or whatever will just shoot that number of arrows but each arrow does the damage listed on the bow.

Runcible Cat posted:

I go murder Lynels because I'm still upgrading the soldier and barb sets. Once I've got that done I'll probably finish off the shrine tests. Do you get the 120 prize for finding all of them, or only once you've completed them all?
