This game's design is about as far from SS as you can get.

Of things to hate about Skyward Sword that seems a pretty strange one. What was so bad about it?

They never posted it, this is the box art from the official press kit that infinitum posted earlier in the thread.

There's another chest on one end of the bridge over Lake Hylia you have to do that to get to, and maybe one in the Lost Woods too?

But yeah, other than those it's hardly used at all.

Scared Skyward Sword will get the Dark Souls 2 treatment where all the amazing ideas will be abandoned because of all the complaining about unrelated things. Then again the Zelda cycle is an explicit thing known to Nintendo so people should start liking Skyward Sword in March.

Yup. Voiced by Troy Baker.

Yeah, the non regular versions of Zelda are gone. Good luck.

Preorders for the Special Edition appear to be back on Walmart.com. I just ordered one a couple of hours ago, and they're still showing up as available as of right now.

Only problem is it won't be delivered until March 13th, but I don't have the console yet and will be out of town for awhile between Friday and then anyway, so it works for me.

Now let's just hope this isn't a glitch.

The Switch looks DOA to such a degree that even if Breath of the Wild runs like the Last Guardian on Wii U I still wouldn't get one. Hell, I regret buying the Wii U, sort of. Hyrule Warriors was great but Bayonetta 2 and Xenoblade X were my big hopes for that console and they both kind of sucked!

Around the other side of the non-snow area there's a "logging camp" of the Wanderer's cabin. More grow there and there's a book you may find handy.

Make sure you run around the mountain and get up to the summit, even before you hit the shrine. You'll thank me later.

Here's some unsolicited advice: you are doing yourself a disservice. Just. Explore.

Baked apples. Here's how.

Go to Death Mountain. Goron City is a good choice. Drop apples on the ground, ten at a time. (More than ten and they will start to despawn.) They'll quickly turn into baked apples. Pick them back up before they burn away. There's an NPC in Rito Village who buys baked apples in bulk, and pays a higher price the more you bring her at once. If you sell 100 baked apples at a time, she pays 12 rupees per, so you can get 1200 rupees at a time this way.

In general, the sale price of cooked food or elixir is strictly a function of what ingredients were used to make it. If you cook five gourmet meat together, you can sell the resulting skewer for 490 rupees. (This is slightly less efficient than selling the raw gourmet meat to the NPC at Outskirt Stable, but he only buys three per day, but it's better than selling the raw ingredients to a normal vendor.)

Congratulations: you have reached the point of the game where there is no longer any order to the main quests.

The only mandatory quest in the game, once you've left the plateau, is to defeat Ganon, and it is possible to attempt that at any time. Some people sprinted directly to the castle and beat the game just like that on the very first day the game was out. It was very difficult because they hadn't done any other quests, but nothing will stop you.

You could continue the current quest, which is to find all of the memories. In the course of searching, you will encounter the quest lines associated with the Divine Beasts, which can be attempted in any order, as well as other things that will help you fight Ganon. Since you seem to want a recommendation, I'll give you one: start either with the one in the east or the one in the northwest, as they're a bit easier than the one in the north and the one in the southwest.

You could also set out to fill in the entire map of Hyrule by activating every tower, and visit every shrine you notice along the way.

Imagine being liberated from linearity to get to explore a wide and wondrous world, freed from hording and grinding by a surplus of easily available goodies often literally under every rock and blade of grass, able to tackle problems however your clever mind can imagine in whatever order you choose,



and wishing for less.







I'm just bitter because I wish I could erase 200+ hours of BotW from my mind and do it all again for the first time and I see people trying to blast through it in a day with guidebooks and google.

Is it a metal chest?

Hey, you remembered Cryonis could lift the gate to the map pedestal, that puts you ahead of probably half the folks who play this game. It's not something used often.
