If you have the pro controller then might as well open it and use it. I'm not feeling the joycons. Should have bought a pro controller. Probably go to Frys later to see if they have any.
Bleh, I really want to get the game but it looks like Switch handheld mode is the best way to play it and I just don't want to shell out the money for the Switch right now :/
That box is freaking huge.
When you complete your first trial. Make sure amiibo is enable in settings.
I've been using it. I feel it adds to the experience, just turn on the setting, play and forget. If by chance you need some direction, you can simply pull up the map by pressing -. It's really fun to get lost in the version of Hyrule. I recommend it.
So I have a question about something someone said related to getting warm clothing...
Someone here said you the old man gives it to you atop the highest peak in the plateau, I think? How is that true? I went to the top of the snowy peak. There was just some opal there. No old man giving me some threads.

damn, ok, I am resting til rain goes off.
I mean I got some slowdowns, ala Dank Souls, but nothing as bad, I thought the game was doing pretty ok lol.
It's so nice and shiny!

It does that on wiiu in later areas, it's a massive shame and i'm sure will upset a lot of people.
It's better on switch, especially in handheld mode but it still get's bad in those areas on both systems so your not alone.
Be prepared for worse later on, some areas hit single digits.

Hint:
Read the diary in the woodcutters house.
Solution:
Cook a hot pepper, hyrule bass, and some raw meat for the old man.

Ok so I was wondering: should I have the blue tunic yet? People seemed to be getting pretty early and I'm already piling up other armor.
I just met Impa in Kakariko so not sure if I missed it so far,
Everywhere. Keep an eye out for anything that looks out of place.
So, been playing a lot today
I can excuse the frame drops when there's big scenery and shit but wtf is this?
There are literally almost ALWAYS frame drops during fights, even if you're just fighting 1 dude. It gets even worse when there are 3+ on the screen (which happens OFTEN...). Who the fuck thought this was acceptable? Way to ruin an otherwise awesome game...
Wii U version, by the way.

I have the digital and I had one noticeable issue right after the plateau, but nothing else really.
I fucking love this game.
I played for about two hours last night, and through a mix of being tired as hell and brand new to the game, I got my ass kicked. I've played for about three hours so far today and am way better though. I've mostly just been exploring, prioritizing my curiosity over the story quests (which is how I always play open world games), and it's been really rewarding so far. I was on a total media blackout for this game, so it's been cool to discover how things have been mixed up from past games. Weapons being more disposable, eating to regain health, etc. I beat the
in the plateau after I got the
and it was so fucking funnnn and coooool and I got so excited when I came across that boss in the first place. I'm exploring the snowy area now, just beat the shrine. 
I decided to go with pro mode pretty much right away. For me, Zelda is all about exploration, and the HUD stuff seemed to cheapen that. So far so good!

It's playable, but loading the game or entering the village will fuck up the frame rate temporarily. I'm used to 4k 60fps, but the game is fun enough that I'm able to live with it.
The biggest disappointment is how they gimped the WiiU version to give it feature parity with the switch (i.e. no gamepad functionality when playing on the TV).
How far are you? I just got to
Kakariko
It drops frequently just riding around the village, even further when it rains and I often get drops just fighting more than 1 enemy.
Man, the only time I will play a game with performance this shit is if it's really special (Dark Souls on console, for example) and this game is amazing so I'll put up with it, but it's quite a large smear on the game imo.
Is that confirmed? You can never see the map on the game pad? That's disappointing.

Where can you see the recipes?
I had a little pop up saying I could choose "Recipes" somewhere but so far I'm hopefully missing the obvious...

I was about to go to the store today to get the game for the Wii U.
You guys are convincing me to wait for another patch....

I'm actually in the same place. No drops there, maybe just lucky.

Zelda in handheld mode is just GLORIOUS.
I like the NX.
Can't wait for Animal Crossing... Sad I probably won't be able to play it online if they keep their paid multiplayer BS.

It's totally your call but I never care about the frame issues while playing the game. It's so good! Not everyone is nitpicky about it.
Wonder if there's a difference between disc and digital. I'm running disc btw.
Kind of but I love the new more subdue tone when you obtain some special items.

Close your eyes halfway and look through your eyelashes.
That really sucks to hear.
I played through PS3 Bayonetta back when it was first out and endured through it (*shudder*), but the performance was quite the blemish on one of my favourite games ever.
Wii U version should be in my mailbox when I get home today.
Sorry to ask this because I'm sure it's been talked about (I don't want to read anything because I'd like to experience it all on my own), but how is the sense of scale in handheld mode?
Just wondering how I am going to play it, and I think I'll want to save it for the TV if playing it as a handheld loses the immersion factor.

I'm in the same boat as you, bought a Switch and Pro Controller yesterday but I have the Pro Controller still sealed here with me, don't know if it justifies the $70. price just to play in dock mode. I have played with the JoyCon grip and it feels fine, the only annoying part is removing the JoyCons everytime I want to play on the TV. How long does the batteries in the JoyCons last compared to the Pro Controller?
Probably been answered but
use peppers + hylian bass to make a meal that gives you cold resistance. Then climb to the top of a tower in the snowy region, Old Man McGucket will be there to give you a warm outfit
ALTERNATIVELY (I'm not sure about this) the Old Man will sleep at a campfire in the woods (you can spot the trail of smoke.) Wake up and he might ask about your cooking. If you show him the pepper/bass food he might give you the clothing there.

Where do you get spicy pepper and raw meat from?
Yeah I'm surprised how good they feel. I haven't even opened my Pro controller yet because of it.

I've been playing it in hand held mode for 3 hrs so far. This game is amazing and kicking my ass.

I keep pressing a to dodge instead of x. It's really messing me up. I've gotten used to jump being on x in general but once combat comes along my mindset changes and I naturally keep pressing a to dodge.
