Yes! Just had my first magical Zelda puzzle moment of doing something simple and feeling super smart afterwards. I am determined to get every single optional chest in those shrines now.

The one I just completed was just... so fiendishly clever. It's the Ree Dahee shrine (near the Dueling Peaks), the chest they put right by the exit. The solution was really really simple and have been done a thousand times in Zelda games, but because it's nested within a completely different kind of puzzle, I didn't see it until staring at it for, like, 5 minutes. And I got a cool bandana for my trouble. :D

They really remind me of the creative thinking of Portal and why that game was such a joy to figure out. Loving those shrines so far.

I have to say one memorable moment I had today was the
blood moon
, it just happened out of nowhere, I even had a perfect shot of
the moon as it was coming up blood red, and i was hearing the music, and for those 40 seconds or so, I was legitimately freaked out until the cutscene happened, and afterwards the lizardfos I just killed literally came back to life

Yup. Freaked me the fuck out too. It was so unexpected and weird, like something out of Bloodborne.
 
I just got off the Plateau, registered a horse, headed straight to Hyrule Castle and I MADE IT TO THE CASTLE. I'm so proud of myself. I triggered the cutscene and everything. Who knew the stealth in this game would be so awesome?
 
So.. do the heavier armor pieces weigh Link down more? Like he can't run as fast or he uses more stamina? I saw one really cool one, but afraid to be too heavy or use more stamina.
 
I'm addicted to climbing every single high point in an area. I'm 8 hours into the game and I've explored maybe 10% of it...

Speed running this game is going to be fun to watch.
 
Just put in 10+ hours today. I haven't done that with a game in a long time. This is everything I wanted in a new LoZ game. Exploration is so organic and perfect. I'm actually having fun with enemy encounters, and there have been some challenging fights.

My gripes so far though:

Weapon durability is an issue. Shit degrades way too fast. Unless you get to a point where items don't break after one or two enemies, it's a problem. For a game that gets so much right, I just don't quite understand why it was implemented the way it was.

Custom controls. Why is this not an option? It's 2017 for fucks sake. I'm getting used to it but years of souls games have me struggling a little with the controls.

Cooking. I like it, but it's too tedious. When I make something good I should have the option to save the recipe and just select that to automatically make it based on if I have the available ingredients. Unless I'm missing something, that seems like they dropped the ball on that.


I can't wait to jump back in this world again tomorrow.
 
Is there really no way to register non-horse mounts? Because it sucks taming them only for them to say "nah" and then you end up losing them when you hop off to adventure.

doubt it.
also you either pick the cold clothes or you have to stuff your mouth with anti-Cold food and deal with the timers, since 2 out of 3 shrines are at high altitude and link will freeze if you don't have protection

Actually I didn't know about any of these things because of the route i took to get there but I jimmied myself a way around the cold, I used fire arrows to start a fire and then lit a torch on fire and the warmth from the torch kept me going all the way up to the top where I got the clothing :P
 
Reposting

Anybody that picked up the season pass, do I need to redeem before I start my game? Any benefit to doing so? Also where do the chest appear? I just started my first shrine of that helps
 
I'm making it a personal mission of mine to
find the Master Sword as soon as possible since I heard that the game apparently never tells you where it is.

I've had no luck so far and
I've only uncovered Central Hyrule, thinking it'd be around there near the castle.

What I found near there were
Guardians running amok, a big stone boss atop a cliff where I thought the sword would be, and the feeling of never being safe every time I even slightly heard that Guardian music.

This is gonna be a looooong treasure hunt.
 
Who are these like
red "Anti-Sheika" guys who masquerade as villagers and merchants and attack you randomly?
They're not particularly hard but it can get annoying sometimes.
 
This is the first time in a while that I feel overwhelmed in a game. Every time I climb a tower and start heading towards something I see 5 other things I want to do along the way.

Really? Hmm, the game
never tells you where the Master Sword is? Is it not part of the story to get it?
 
I've played for around 7-8 hours. This game is fucking crazy. Ever since I left the Plateau it's been nonstop insanity, and even on the Plateau I died plenty of times, though most of those were out of my own stupidity falling off things and accidentally bombing myself.

I had one really crazy story that I just had to share though:

So at one point, I thought it'd be cool to glide off a tower into a nearby tree, and so I did, and then just as I'm about to land a fucking Guardian shows up. This is when I still have 3 hearts, so I'm essentially locked in this tree praying it doesn't kill me because I sure as hell can't kill it.

I try to hang off the opposite side to hide and eventually it seems to lose interest, so I make a break for it, and the moment I do it takes notice yet again. There's a bunch of ruins and walls right nearby so I go from wall to wall, trying to not get blasted, but I can't lose it. I manage to get to some high ground where I think I'm safe but there's nowhere else to run to, so I hesitate for a minute trying to think of how I can escape.

Then at the perfect time, a bokoblin on a horse shows up, so I snipe the bokoblin once it gets close and steal its horse thinking it's my ticket to outrunning the guardian. Nope, that thing chases me down across a huge field and I keep just barely dodging it's lasers. Just as I think I might be getting far enough to lose it, another guardian shows up and I panic attempting to dodge 2 lasers at once, bump into something which makes my horse stop, and die.

It blows my mind that something like this isn't scripted and just happened to come together naturally on the overworld.
 
1 hour in and all I've done is run around picking stuff up and climbing things. I fought one boko-gerblin with using a stick and it was awesome.

If they can do free exploration this well and then nail the usually more focused Zelda stuff as too, like equipment/puzzles/dungeons/treasure/bosses then I don't know what to tell you. Exciting!
 
I got to be honest, This is really boring to watch on Twitch and with the frame rate problem... it's a bad combination.

I named my horse Mr Horse

Do your horses just go back to a stable when you leave them or do you have to go find them
Click to expand...

I'm just about to reach my first stable and I'm wondering the same thing. Like if you're in the middle of nowhere and just ditch your horse, will it reappear at a stable later? Or do you have to go retrieve it.
 
Anyone else notice the horse 'yah' gives you a cool type of rumble?
It feels like a softer rumble in the top and a heavier rumble in the bottom, giving the feeling of you smacking down the reigns.

Really loving this game.

Should I just be selling all my opals and gears and gizmos or is there anything I should be holding onto?
Click to expand...

Keep the gears and stuff, and all the crap you get off monsters. I've seen those both get used already.

Not sure on opals though. I did see an NPC basically say to. Dunno about other minerals, I did sell a ruby since it was worth so much.
 
l just saw something on top of a certain mountain... Holy fuck. l shat my pants.

This game deserves all the accolades it got. Played for 12 hours straight. l do think this has a chance to be Nintendo's best game ever.

You have to retrieve it, which kinda makes things irritating given how sparse stables seem to be.
 
It's insane how sidetracked you can get in this game. One minute I'm heading towards a tower, another minute I'm checking out a random area that looked interesting from afar.
 
Given it a few hours, don't know how to describe what I like about it - it just feels right. It's also whimsical with that air of magic about it that oot had - feel like I got something special here
 
Rainy said:
Damn that sucks. I think I honestly like traveling on foot better so I'm wondering if I'll be using a horse much anyway.
Click to expand...

I wish it was like every other game with a mount. Getting a message like "your horse is too far away" or " didn't hear you" is dumb. It should just run from off screen when I want it lol
 
This game is magic.

Few gripes:
- Can't just toss away bows or shields you don't want as easily as weapons
- At least the paths I've taken the horse stable network doesnt seem too useful (Only have seen two though). The more realistic horse whistle listen zone is def different compared to Roach being omnipresent
 
Fucking hell, Dark Souls has permanently fucked my brain in relation to lock on controls.

I can't tell you how many times I've either been hit or killed when I clicked the "R3" on reaction to an enemy approach.

Thankfully, this game is so damned good I don't care. I just want to keep playing.
