Not sure what i should do after

Spoiler

recovering the first memory and getting the tunic..i dont think im ready to tackle a divine beast yet.

I beat the first divine beast with three hearts and a little extra stamina. If you're looking for stuff to do the whole world is littered with shrines and side missions, but the divine beasts don't expect you to be armed to the teeth

 

[Angry Grimace]

I need to collect

Spoiler

electro arrows

but that fucker on the hill is one hitting me. Am I just to underpowered? I tried sneaking but I don't think I'm supposed to skip the fight, right?

And I just saw his health in numbers for a short time. How did I trigger this? This was the first time I remember seeing this.

Spoiler

1) No you aren't supposed to fight him. Just collect the arrows off the trees and ground while staying on the opposite side of the hill from where he patrols.

2) The Tunic you get from Impa lets you see numbers.

 

[ASIS]

You know the feeling you get when you watch your favorite TV show and you they finish the episode with a huge WTF twist and leave you with a cliff hanger? That feeling that you are dying just get another taste?

That's what I'm feeling right now with Breath of the wild, only times 10.

This game is consuming me.

 

[Majine]

How the hell do I kill this centaur guy with all the shock arrows?

I didn't kill him at all...

 

[ekim]

Nah you're meant to skip it.

Ok. Just found out that one the top there are the last ones I needed.

Village is stunning at night. Who needs the beefiest hardware in the world when you have mastered art and mood?

This game is basically "Zelda: Xenoblade Edition" in terms of environmental design.

 

[Jobbs]

How the hell do I kill this centaur guy with all the shock arrows?

I was just doing him. I had him down to about 1% and I accidentally fell.

Just patience, hit him in the eye with an arrow and mount him -- dodge his stuff. Use food and potions.

That said -- My friend told me that she just snuck around and picked up the arrows and didn't fight him at all. That's likely what the game expects.

 

[Cerium]

Okay where the eff is Safula Hill.

I really want this white horse they're talking about but I got the map of Central Hyrule and I can't find any region labeled Safula Hill.

It's driving me nuts. Help.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Holy shit running from Guardians is exhilarating.
The seamless act of calling your horse, the mechanic of it running a little bit in front of you and hopping on into a quick full sprint is AMAZING.

I guess that makes more sense.

Correct - you aren't supposed to but they don't specifically tell you not to so you'd try and get your shit ruined lol

Ok well you have talked me into it. Might try the one north of

kakariko village

 

[ScientificPizza]

I think you're meant to sneak around stuff or avoid things out of survival. It's the charm of this game... You're not told how to do it exactly and it's up to you to figure it out. Such a great breath of fresh air from the typical Zelda A to point B hand holding.

I'm the same as you for the most part on hearts and stamina.

I think down the line when your buffed out Link we can take on these bigger challenges. Have you tried heading to Hyrule Castle? It's pretty insane if you try to do it before you ready.

I haven't even gone near it. I accidently went into a field with three guardians and that was enough for me.

I have been taking most encounters head on, though, so maybe I'll try avoiding stuff more

 

[Caim]

Okay where the eff is Safula Hill.

I really want this white horse they're talking about but I got the map of Central Hyrule and I can't find any region labeled Safula Hill.

It's driving me nuts. Help.

It's west of Central Hyrule and east of Satori Mountains.

If you zoom in a little on the map you should get area names.

 

[norm9]

Feels like it. Was running in a valley between two mountains and got that epic scope of xenoblade feeling and had to diddle with the camera.

 

[Fledz]

God damn it, I just spent a good 15min going East instead of West, where I meant to go.

Ed- Now it is raining fuuu

 

[Cerium]

Wait it's not in Central Hyrule? Because I zoomed in on the Central Hyrule map and still can't see shit.

Haha. I didn't even see them until my way back from Hyrule Castle.

I didn't make it to the castle... I got to a nope point not too far outside of the calamity.

Here is the location on the map:

Thank you very much. And yeah that's not in Central Hyrule.

If you come across a shrine whose entrance is blocked by thorny bushes, I assume you need to burn them? Too bad I can't try that because it won't stop raining! While I was waiting for the rain to stop I scared a nearby goat and it ran into the thorns and killed itself. At least I got some free meat while I'm waiting. ^^

Which one are you talking about?

 

[Mistle]

Just read about the amiibo. Sucks so much cool gear is locked behind them The only spoiler I saw for this game was a gear spoiler, and I was excited to find a lot of that stuff on the adventure. But it seems all the call-back gear is from amiibo. I guess that makes sense in terms of story, but now I'm wanting the amiibo..

 

[jariw]

So, are these carvings that they added in Twilight Princess:HD now fully explained? Based on how far I've come in the story, I think I at least see the main connections.

 

[MoogleWizard]

Which one are you talking about?

It's near Kakariko village on an island in a large lake.

 

[Fess]

You know what, I was so hyped about buying a 1080ti for my PC but I don't know now, Zelda and Switch has shown me how little power actually means. Scorpio and Pro is obviously out of the equation too. The weakest hardware of the bunch has by far the best game. I guess I might change my mind when I've finished Zelda but omg right now I couldn't care less about 4K and 100+ fps, even with the occasional 20fps bursts in BOTW I'm just sitting here grinning while playing this game. I'm just so happy =)

 

[Sadist]

Jesus Kakariko Village looks so good :0

 

[jonno394]

Has anyone else found the shrine (i think) in south west faron area on the beach? Think you need to put the ball in the hole to trigger it but some girl is hugging it and talking to her doesn't prompt a quest or anything?

Not sure the one I found is the exact same one you did, but try looking for higher ground and paraglide over

 

[Fledz]

Mountain climbing really rewards you with some nice gems along the way. I'm hoarding everything.

At this point I don't even need quests, I'm just picking a direction towards a peak and then surveying the land to pick another destination. Rinse and repeat.

How do you figure out the password that is mentioned in the bar? The ladies just tell me to get lost.

It's near Kakariko village on an island in a large lake.

Huh, I didn't come across it just yet. There are other shrines like that. I usually just paraglide my way to the entrance.

 

[MoogleWizard]

OK, thanks that worked. I thought you need to burn the bushes because cutting the tree on the island gives you firewood. The shrine is called Sheh Rata.

Hateno village

music. So good, I've keep humming it when not playing.

 

[CubanBoy1127]

How the hell do I kill this centaur guy with all the shock arrows?

Spoiler

Backflip dodge and flurry. When he runs around, wait for his attack. Once his attack is over, get close to him and backflip dodge-flurry again. Rinse and repeat until dead.

When syncing the Shiekah Slate with the towers, etc. the animation that plays with the tear dropping into it reminds me of the first Crystal Chronicles so much.

Thank you so much, I tried to climb above the bar and eavesdrop but no luck.

Just did the Shrine in Hateno Village and

Spoiler

did anyone else turn the board upside down and totally bypass the maze? Accidentally flipped the board after failing about 10 times, and I love that they allow you to cheese the puzzle like! I guess it's a lot more intuitive to do this when holding the Joycons separately. Also, fuck ball-in-maze motion puzzles.

I tried doing the same thing, I ended up discovering the solution just by accident while I went around trying to talk to every NPC in town.

Killed Lynel. Sneaking is for the birds.

If anyone else wants to try this I recommend the speed potion. Not sure how I'd have done it without one.

Omg, the rito village music is perfect

All this open worlding has made me soft, stuck on the first "dungeon".

Divine best Vah Ruta. I've done the first terminal by using the magnet on the gears, but don't know where to go from here. In the big wheel cog I can use stasis on the ball but it just falls back down.

i beat the shit out of the centaur guy, but to be fair, i had been wandering the map for like 15 hours and had a giant sword made of ice that i stabbed him with a lot

Typical. I buy a bigger battery for the Wii U pad and the screw refuses to come out and the head has started to shred.
