Hint:
Read the diary in the woodcutters house.

Solution:
Cook a hot pepper, hyrule bass, and some raw meat for the old man.

I didn't do this at all! In fact I went to
the woodcutters house AFTER getting the warm clothes from him at the top of the hill!
 
alternatively, for the cold area at the start, you can also just
find a torch, flame it, it will warm you enough and you won't take damage. Go to the top of the mountain, meet old dude there and then he gives you a warm top.
 
I couldn't help myself lol I just started the download. I'm gonna have to wait to play and the Master edition isn't getting opened.
 
Surprised at how good the game looks. Lack of YouTube compression and a full RGB color range works wonders.

Question about enemy respawns (don't click if you don't already know how it works):

Does the blood moon bring back Guardians and world bosses, or do those stay dead? Is it like Dark Souls in that regard, where only the "normal" enemies respawn?

Guardians unsure, but world bosses yes. Otherwise the unique Hylian Shield would only be a one time use after it breaks.
 
Has anyone pointed out that the claw control gripes can be completely avoided?

Link maintains his momentum for a couple seconds after letting up on the sprint button. You're then free to quickly move your thumb to jump! In short, you can press the sprint and jump buttons simultaneously or consecutively. Both methods seem to have the exact same effect.

Hope this helps some folks!

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 think the draw distance is correct: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C6AlR57U8AAdFKH.jpg

Went to only pickup the Wii U version at Best Buy since I already had the Pro Controller and External HD for the Wii U yet I ended up walking out with a Neon Switch as well as apparently I can't help myself.

The Wii U version has been perfectly fine both visually and playability wise in my time with it so far on both a TV w/Pro Controller and Off-TV Gamepad play. The latter looks better due to hiding some of the blemishes on the smaller screen. A pure joy to play.

I haven't touched the Switch as I'm going to give it the weekend to decide whether or not to keep it (I'll definitely want Mario and future classic franchise titles but I don't think it would get much use over the next 8 months sans for Zelda) or return it unopened.

Try Splatoon 2!
 
just started playing and loved how they did the intro, it was quite breathtaking.

anyways, the controls are easy, having X for jump took a second to get used to, just had to teach myself to let go of the dash button and quickly tap the jump afterwards for a dash jump. Usually in other games i'd continuously hold onto the dash while jumping, but you can't really do that with this set up. The framerate so far is very playable but I haven't gotten into any fights yet. I played through Dark Souls on PS3 so yeah, I'm sure it wont be an issue.

alright back to the game.


playing wii u version btw

Buy it digital if you can, less frame dop it seems than disc I read on internet.
Need 13 GB, tho


Yes, I'm playing on Wii U
Zelda has one save file per account, yes it sucks.
Click to expand...

Of all the conventions to ditch, it had to be multiple save files.

Oh well, I suppose I can see about setting up another account.
 
Holy SHIT, that was wild. Don't read if you haven't been to the top of Lanayru Peak yet.

On the way to Hateno Village, someone suggested visiting the spring at Lanayru Peak. After I did my business in the village I figured I'd give it a shot, thought I might find a shrine or maybe a fairy fountain there. Brought along a hot elixir after discovering that my warm clothes weren't enough, figured it'd probably be enough to get me through. Climbed the mountain near Hateno, paraglided over to Lanayru, and after several times getting killed by the ice lizalfos I managed to reach the spring where I discovered some giant horrific-looking monstrosity draped around the mountain's peak. Turns out it was the light dragon who'd been corrupted by Ganon's malice. And then I had to purge that malice by shooting arrows at its eyes, but after one or two it started flying around the mountains, so I had to paraglide after it while shooting its eyes until I'd purified it completely. Like, flying around between mountains fighting a giant dragon ranks as maybe the absolute coolest Zelda moment I can remember.
 
I'm actually not experiencing many dips. The only times I have been are in towns and on the plateau. Some of the
red stuff in dungeons
makes it drop a bit, meaning
Hyrule Castle
will be rough, but other than that it's fine.
 
Question about the lore in a village:
can I somehow solve the mystery about the kids in Hateno wanting to see the little girl from the Hateno institute? Can I try to lure the playing kids with the blue light up the hill?

YESS.

No one click this spoiler if you haven't visited the spring at Lanayru Peak. Huge spoilers.

But yes, I just did this last night and it was fucking amazing.

And it was just a side quest.
 
just gotta say that being able to jump onto the side of any surface and start climbing is fucking revolutionary, this is a game changer folks. Yeah spider-man can do that, but still, it really hasn't been done in a wilderness setting before, please correct me if i'm wrong here.
 
I'm so excited right now and I'm still inside the resurrection place. Lol. I'm just messing with controls. Can you format the controls however you want??

I hate that jump and run are b and x. Everything else feels fine.

Also anyway to check playtime?
 
Played it for 5 hours straight and barely finished the second shrine.

Bloody hell, I am gonna spend at least 100 hours on this game.

I am sure other games may have done it before but the only one I played it that tried to do something like this in the wilderness was Assassin's Creed III and even then you could only climb certain walls and that was for realism sake (in Zelda the artstyle helps to abstract the fact that he is more or less a gecko)
 
I just started finished two shrines... honestly the game looks a little washed out at 720p on my 4K tv... I've gotten used to 4K games with PS4 Pro... anyway how much longer until the game starts to get really good?

I realize that it already feels like a solid open world Zelda game... but how long until it starts to feel like a 98?

On your way to Kakariko, you'll run into him.

"On your way to Kakariko" doesn't mean much when you can get anywhere from any direction :P I totally skipped the area that he was in because I was shrine-hunting and just kinda accidentally paraglided my way into Kakariko from on top of a mountain, I had to look up where he was later.

Argh. I hate that the German translation renames a lot of stuff. Is this the big mountain north of Hateno? Is this a shrine sidequest? If so, it's the one I'm going to do next.

Hi guys, I have a question: The day one update on the Wii U version of BotW downloads automatically or do I have to manually download it from the eShop? I ask this because I'm perma banned from the eshop due to stupid me buying Splatoon digitally from a random scalper on Ebay who swear the codes were not downloaded illegally but he did and because of that I got perma banned from the eShop... I haven't bothered on fix it with Nintendo support because I don't mind not having access to the eShop anymore since there's no games that interest me there so this is why I ask. If I have to download the update from the eShop then I'm screwed so I'm hoping it downloads automatically that's why I ask this. Thanks!

Edit: I should add that previous updates on games such as Mario Kart 8, Smash and Splatoon download just fine, it seems that as long as I don't have to manually download something from the eShop, then I'm fine.

Anyone?? :c

Wait for after the plateau and the first village.
