-=-=->S P O I L E R S<-=-=- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Spoiler Thread

Not all spoilers are created equal. This lets people skim for certain things and stay dark on others. While it can seem self-defeating to tag your spoilers in a spoiler thread, it does allow for greater thread participation.

if you were avoiding some spoilers but not others I would not trust others to tag everything you wish to avoid. Let's not make this harder than it needs to be. I came here for spoilers I am not following or subbed to the main thread for the sake of not accidentally posting there.

People who enjoy spoilers should feel free to enjoy a spoiler thread without feeling they have to walk on egg shells to make it safe for all readers.


I would not say anything if my MacBook could just highlight them easily for some reason it keeps highlighting just one word sometimes and I have to go click edit select all just to find out under the spoiler tag was something not worth the spoiler tag at all

Nah fuck that, this is a spoiler thread for a reason. Using tags is dumb.

Stayed up all night, 2/4 beasts beaten, 26 shrines. Train keeps on'a rollin baybee

WHERE 2 FIND MASTER SOWRD.

The forest behind the castle, you can go to it from the tower to the right of the castle.
 
Someone on the impressions thread said there were Mazes that were similar to traditional dungeons; does anyone know more about this?

Also: I love the shrines so far. I like how there's no hand holding and how, if you don't have the item you need, you just have to leave and come back when you do.

I just finished one with balls and conveyor belts. There's a point that you need to push them into the receptacles with arrows. I didn't have arrows, so I had to go look for some.

I haven't seem any mazes in gameplay streams, but I've seen the full map and I spotted three mazes. All three are near the edges of the map and they're massive in terms of in-game area. I've also seem them referred to as Castles.

Also, Arbiter's Grounds definitely seems to be in this, it's got an incredibly obvious footprint on the map.
 
Anybody been to the Yiga stronghold yet? What's that like? Apparently you can fight master Kohga

Saw on a stream last night, it's a mission in an interior area, where many yigas are roaming around. It's a stealth mission. The yiga are oddly obsessed with bananas, so if you drop them they will go all silly after them. After doing this stronghold sometimes you will find merchants selling the mighty bananas, if you refuse to buy them they drop the disguise and fight you.

Do you have a link to the full map you are referring to? I'm interested in finding these "mazes".

Hahaha this game, that's such a Zelda-esque description. I'm hoping the stealth parts aren't too annoying, I'm really glad you can take their weapons.

It's in the GameFAQs link below. Use the one of the maps with the grid. Also the locations list in the following posts includes names.

FOUND UMii Village! It's Tarrey Town, definitely not looking like a DLC area. It's located southeast of Death Mountain and North of Hateno Village.

Perhaps you can settle here in the post-game. And then when your present-day Gerudo/Zora/Rito/Goron friends visit, they get their own Tarry Town variations.

Also, found this on 4chan (literally just searched the UMiiVillage Marry line on google), but obviously take with a grain of salt:
 
Folks, is Link's alleged home going to be "Frontier Village"?

There are six tracks from the OST for Frontier Village that have subtle variances. Each one seems to represent the presence of a different character/game state, so perhaps you can bring the modern-day companions of the various races to Link's home. However, there is no track for "Hylian" or "Human". There is something more interesting.

Frontier Village - Beginning
Frontier Village - Goron
Frontier Village - Rito
Frontier Village - Gerudo
Frontier Village - Zora
Frontier Village -
Married

Take from that what you will - only speculating the implication here, but there's little else to make of it.

Okay, listened to all of these.

Beginning is a bare-bones track.


Goron adds what sounds like a xylophone and trumpet.

Gerudo adds a harp to Goron

Rito adds a clarinet to Gerudo.

Zora adds acoustics to Rito.

Married includes everything AND adds more clarinet parts, adds strings, and adds bagpipes.

So it seems like to satisfy the "Married" criteria all four of the above need to also be present.
 
Someone spoil me.

How's my guy Ganon look?

Is he that weird calamity cloud lookin thing or is he more like the glorious Demise / Hyrule Warriors design?
 
So I made a rough plan of what I want to do when I get the game on Friday.

I like how the music slowly build up.
 
So I've stopped paying attention to spoilers since the cutscene of the king leaked a few days ago but I just remembered Aonuma said he used some kind of a trick for the story that he wanted to use since he started making games. What exactly is the trick he spoke of?

If I had to guess, it's the 6th Sense trick.

Interesting, I remember reading that but I could not tell you what it is despite having finished the game ; maybe it is not that obvious, or you have to go to some part of the Hyrule to witness it... I'd like to know what it is !

I'm guessing it's the story told via memories. There seems to be 18 special memories that you have to go out of your way to obtain. Meanwhile there are other shorter memories you regain as your playing the game and come across something that triggers it.

If I understand correctly about those memories: There are pictures in your sheika slates, and if you go at the location of that picture, you'll trigger that memory?

I haven't seen the special memories with pictures in the slate. I've only seen the memories that get triggered as you are completing the main quest.
 
Because this particular Ganon seems to have existed for at least 10,000 years. I'm assuming there's very little left of his old humanity.

OH TRUE

Ganon is over 10,100 years old, he's older than the Chinchorro mummies.

Whatever is left of the man once known as Ganondorf Dragmire has evaporated into dust.

Yeah this I can buy. He's been there for so long whatever power he's had has basically made him into that mess.

I just found it funny after decades of Ganon designs the first image I see of him in BotW is that thing lol.
