So I'm around 4 hours into the game and I'm not really having much fun. It feels more like a survival game rather than an action adventure. I just got done talking to the kid Director and now I'm trying to get the blue flame to the furnace. Does the game get any better from here? I'm tired of all this walking and resource management.

I assume it means the heart with the little 5 represents 5 hearts worth of healing.
I didn't solve that using the maze. I accidently bounced the ball into the goal with a weird bounce over the entire maze lol
It gets a lot better after the tutorial (4 shrines) Everything opens up and feels great. It doesn't really feel like a traditional Zelda game at all in my opinion. Yeah a lot more survival, but man.. Like once you travel to the first village it clicks imo

Just watched the first recovered memory, the one at the
. Holy crap is that area brutally hard. I went to the
by mistake and then died 10 times trying to come back out of the area to the
lol. At least I got a really awesome shield and sword out of it.
As for the cutscene, very interesting. First, Zelda's VA is pretty bad. I was meh on her initially but her delivery in that scene was terrible.
So seems like Zelda
. Cant wait to see more!
This way of telling the story is pretty cool. Theres an overarching main quest and then there are these recovered memories that fill in more of the backstory. You can then prioritize what you want out of the game. Kind of like a Netflix binge: you can get them all one after another or take your time with them.
Done a lot of exploring and hanging around, time to hit up a few Shrines. I need a stamina upgrade badly.

The rest of the VA however was pretty good.

didn't initially like Link? I do find the "he represents all of her own failures" angle really interesting

If you're already tired of the bolded the game is gonna be a slog for you I'm afraid. I was already enraptured by that part, really.
Anyone?

Just beat my first dungeon, I mean one of the main ones. I love this game so much, I can't believe how many hours I put in one play session.

Also the Lynel was fucken hard.
Oh yes, that makes sense. Oh man, what a wasteful cook I've been, I have like 5 heart containers.

When you try to pull it out of the pedestal it consumes a heart per pull, . I have 10 hearts and I still cant pull it out but I think I'm getting close, I think you need 12 maybe

Decent cooked meals go for a lot. Otherwise gems.
Right but my question was about how memories unlocked affect this. People on Reddit have said they reduce the requirement

I got killed by a skeleton bokoblin throwing the disembodied head of another at me.
The enemies constantly surprise.

So far I am really loving the relatively high difficulty of the game.
Wandered into multiple areas with high end enemies that can wreck me.
I already died more times than every other Zelda game combined. In the other games dying is almost impossible.
Also fuck the motion control ball puzzle in the second village. Took me like 20 mins then I switched back to pro controller my character movement went crazy. Character killed himself three times which made me restart the shrine. Feels like it was not play tested at all. The viewing angle is terrible making it harder to judge.

Lol he mentioned that he has reached at least one village in the post.
Ok, I wasn't sure if I should be saving those for later. I desperately need new armor.
Blew two hours there, but Hinox or whatever his name is was the easiest part. You can kite and kill with bombs. Or arrow to eye and wreck with Sword.
Bottom left corner of the island. It's in the water. I'll leave you to decide how your going to bridge to get the bAll there.

Ah like give them apples and L is soothing right? Is there a way to see how my bond with them is going?

You can check your bond with them at the stables.
Nobody is really sure but at least we're making money! I try and keep a few just in case.

Yes. There's one on higher ground that overlooks the village. I'd say you can't miss it, but here we are.
But really, I am sure if you went back and looked for it, you would find it very easily. It's pretty prominent.

Theres one at the top of the village. Theres like a road that leads up to it around the eastern part of the village.
Yes.

Wii U owners, how is the Wii U version?
Who do I talk to about changing my horse's gear or mane? One of the NPCs mentioned it's possible at a stable, but neglected to specify where or how.
edit: nvm I figured it out
A little framey in cities but perfectly playable.

Oh if they do I have no idea, I have 3 memories unlocked so maybe I'll try again soon and see if it confirms?

Playing on Pro mode is so so good. Adds another layer to exploration
Question: How many Recovered Memories can you reach when the quest pops up?

I have had no regrets. I cant see any visual loss but I may just not be tuned to that. I would be curious how it plays with the Pro Controller as the tablet is awkard for me after a while.
Tablet screen has no use other than off tv play.

I've only just left the plateau and they were nothing special but I think I've come across three bombable walls. One almost at the very beginning by the first lake you come across after waking up.
I generally like all the dynamic and simulation aspects of the game, and I generally like things mattering and having consequences -- But I genuinely despise the feature where you can't climb when it rains.
Today alone I've had three separate instances where I just sat there waiting several minutes for it to stop raining so I could continue. Waiting 5 minutes to play due to something you can't control is fucking terrible.
The worst example occured just now -- I was on the hilltop behind karaoke village. I pulled a chest out of the ground and it dropped into town below -- into the water behind a building. I went down into the water, found a place to stand, and lifted it up above me and dropped it on the walkway. As I was doing this it started raining.
I couldn't climb out because it was raining, and if I warped away the chest wouldn't be there anymore and I'd have to start over.
So I sat there waiting.
And, again, this isn't an isolated incident. It happens all the time. Waiting for it to stop raining. I can't imagine who thought this was a good idea.

I had all of the memories(Except the
Daruk and the rito(can't remember his name),
Noticed that I kind of have a habit of lingering in the general vacinity of an area for hours after I find a new spot. I've been hanging out hunting and fishing in an area near a tower for a good while now. Haven't even climbed the tower yet.
This game is going to take me a year to beat at this rate.
That's a good thing, btw.

Just made it to
. Spent a while on the Great Plateau, then ran straight for
, and straight on after talking to
and exploring lightly. WOW. I was afraid that many of the Zelda staples that I'd expect, especially the details in towns, would be gone due to the budget of the open world. This is impressing me more than I could have imagined.
I'm definitely preferring TV mode so far due to the scale of everything, but have played about 50/50 split. My only sour point so far has been the Shrines, but I've only done a few and I'm sure they'll pick up difficulty-wise soon.

Yep, that part of the game is pretty awful. It doesn't add strategy, or anything really. It's just a boring waste of time.
