You have to first cut off the necklace with someting after he drops to his knees and the ball drops for you to grab (at least in my case is how I had to do it)...then run like mad with it

Wait really? I'm planning to hold out on my stats upgrade until I really need them. I've only activated 3 shrine towers and completed 12 shrines but I'm doing okay with just a single heart upgrade so far.

Really? What's the reason because I managed to get through the forest without using the torch. It was not fun... :| but I never noticed a torch.
Well they aren't shoved down your throat. If you talk to a lot of npcs you prolly won't miss many. The icon is contained in the info that pops up when you target them rather than being a glowing ! over their heads, so it's likely that most folks will miss some side quests given how strongly this game draws you into your own experience vs a directed experience.
Edit: crap, if you mean "miss" as in not being able to complete because reasons, I have not experienced that even once.

Dammit Nintendo, how you gonna deliver such a fun open-world for us to explore...
And then have the nerve to include the greatest towns ever seen in a Zelda title filled with NPCs full of the typical Zelda charm. Goddamn, THAT's what sold me on this game. I'm especially loving the flamboyant carpenters.
Other things I love is how the arrows actually fly in an arc and you can pick them up, having to manually catch your boomerang, how the Shrines do a good job at teaching you new functions and then testing you on them (for example I didn't even think about using the ice power to make pillars from the side of waterfalls), and...well, this is definitely the best Zelda game ever made.
Only issue is I spent my money on buying my house (I LOVE when games let you do this!), what's a good way to make money? Most of that was from selling all my expensive gems.

Yes, i've played all those games on release but the way i use dhorse to hit up enemy encampments and get away combined with a sandbox of fun is closer to BotW than those games, to me. I'm done with the mgsv talk. lol
I'm not implying mgsv is better than BotW or anything. I have over 100 hrs in it and the platinum compared to my 10ish hrs in BotW. I was just saying i have been getting mgsv vibes a lot when the emergent gameplay shines and the sandbox gods are smiling.

I played this game for 15 hours yesterday, only stopping to eat or use the bathroom.
I dont remember the last time I was so consumed. XCX had me hooked too but not to this degree.
I didnt even brush until dinnertime lol. It was a straight up Zelda bum day. Felt amazing honestly, its been a while since I just gamed and had nothing else to worry about for a day.

I think when he says miss he means unable to get due to certain events happening, not that he just didn't find them.

Completed my first Mythic Beast
today. Whew, it was amazing but
This game is so vast, it's insane. I take it everyone tackles their first beast and shrines differently, eh? That's pretty cool. No two play-throughs are the same.
the elephant dungeon
the boss was pretty cheap at first until I memorized it to the point of madness.

What do they look like? I've marked things but the guy next to me says 'three more to go'.

Oh, by the way, if you're worried about Hearts vs. Stamina you CAN respec...
Just did that puzzle---had no fucking clue lol.
You got the treasure chest though, right? Took me way longer than I wish to figure out how that was possible.
In Hateno there's a cursed statue that a little boy will lead you to, who will allow you to trade them for money.

They look the same as the one you entered first. They glow in orange so you can even spot them from afar.
No but they barely sell for anything so you might as well keep them.

I'm going to risk getting shat on and just ask this,
WiiU version fine? I heard there's some issues, but mostly trivial right?
I just want to know I'm not shorting my experience by not waiting for switch.

There's something magical in how relaxing this game can be. Regardless of whether or not I'm doing side quests, the main quest, shrines, or just dicking around, the game is just soothing to play. I don't know. I can't describe it well. It's challenging but relaxing at the same time.
I feel like I've seen a lot of people asking about the whole Three Trees thing, so you're not alone, it's tough. But the quest will be marked completed when you do it, so if it's still on your Log, it's not done.
There is no treasure (and no golems, either) - follow the path of the three tree west from the mountaintop and there'll be a slope down to a fairly large outcropping, with a bunch of Lizalfos hanging around. On that outcropping there's a bombable wall, inside is a shrine.

Wii U has some more frame rate issues, but still perfectly playable (haven't played, just from what I've read).
That's what I said before I snuck into Hyrule Castle.

I hope you can! I could not hehe

It depends on how much you care about the frame rate. If you don't really care that the game's FPS drops a bit in cities or when it's raining or other places, than the Wii U version is fine.
I've been playing the Wii U version for like 15 hours and it's totally fine.
Depends on how much frame dips bug you.
They look pretty much identical, except the Switch version runs at 900p to the Wii U's 720p. Wii U version has more dips. Watching Switch version on stream and playing the Wii U version, the Wii U version is noticably laggier in villages.

Find a weapon, use stasis, beat the shit out of it.

There is at least one in each shrine. Sometimes 2 or 3.
It is kind of bad at first. The starting area and the first town are the major ofenders. As you go explore other areas with better framerate you will forget thatbit was even bad. Still is not locked at 30 fps so ymmv

Good lord, this game is bonkers in terms of content. So much to do and so much to interact with. Tonight my goal was simply to get to Hateno and do whatever shrines I encountered along the way. I ended up taming and registering a new horse, going on a quest to find hidden treasure, fought and defeated a giant skeleton in a forest (this was crazy fun), found and solved several shrines, saved multiple NPCs being attacked by monsters on the road, activated a tower, finally reached Hateno and saw how many houses and NPCs to talk with there were and decided to call it a night. I am seriously in awe of how much there is in this game.

Oh yeah I always forget about stasis lol

Lots of questions, not many replies. Can't change anyone, though, because I don't know any answers! Heh.
My question: Does
each only upgrade a single piece of armor, or will they upgrade as many for which I have the materials? I don't want to waste a very limited opportunity on basic junk.
My question: Does
a great fairy
I bought the Wii U version yesterday and I say go ahead and grab it. Framerate issues here and there for sure but totally playable.
Ah, I haven't gone back there yet.

Each fairy upgrades multiple armor sets by only one level, so if you're particularly fond of an armor set, you'll have to scour for great fairies to increase their defense.
What's the point of even talking about the game or sharing experiences if everything is a black bar though? Like, honestly. Part of the joy of an open ended game is people sharing totally different experiences and progression paths and exchanging notes. Those sensitive to knowing what to expect even in vague ways probably shouldn't partake in any discussion at all until they complete the game? I dunno, I don't like gameplay spoilers for Zelda at all. I don't want anyone to spoil puzzle solutions for me, or where the story goes. But names of enemies and weapons? ?????????????????????

I'd really love to know how and why the Wii-U manages to take an hour to install 10 gigs of data.
I'm playing it on Wii U and am about 15 some-odd hours in. There are definitely spots where the framerate tanks more than others (usually in dense forest areas), but for the most part, it's been fine and hasn't detracted from my experience at all. It almost seems smoother playing it on the Gamepad, but that might just be a placebo effect.
