They should call this game The Legend of Zelda: Sidetrack into the Wild

Seriously, I got out of the Plateau two days ago and I still didn't get to the next main objective :|
 
Just got the game for the Switch!

Ohhhhhmygod this is amazing, the graphics are so awesome on this screen and it's so comfy to play.

I love messing around on the Plateau, haven't even talked to the Old Man.

I think people should do the main objectives till they get their shieka slate upgrades available. If anything it just helps your exploration. Also at a certain point they just give you more ovjectives that further encourage random, wild exploration.
 
Ivd been trying to find my way into the forest of this game where i suppose the master sword is. Still cant find it lmao. Did find a nice village with awesome music.
 
That shrine with
constellations
, man that feeling when it clicks. The game makes you feel like you're the most brilliant person in the world.
 
I just realised that i'm sitting at work, and mostly think about this game. What i will do, what i will try to do today, which quests to make, where to go and just explore the world. Discover secrets, shrines and hidden places.
Maybe farm ore for rupees and buy some stuff, etc.

I haven't had this urgent need to play a game since Burning Crusade, and hell, that's 10 years ago now.

It's so beautiful - and i don't really have to stop myself to google for any solution or something else, because i want to find and explore this game all by myself.

But i need a Ocarina of Time amiibo, now.

Ya I'm at a point where I have a few objectives that are basically "go to these disparate areas of the map and I dunno you're the hero not me dude". And then there's the "try to find this place I guess here's what it might look like gl hf". The main quests aren't exactly limiting in the way they're presented, there is absolutely no prodding or handholding or rails.

That said, it is easy to just get distracted from doing anything :lol, I spent 30 minutes just looking for crickets last night.
 
Do you need to be in a specific place to unlock the amiibo rewards like Epona and the outfits? I used them all yesterday but I just got items like swords and bows, but nothing unique from those. Some sites seem to indicate that you need to be in certain places but others do not mention this.

Yes! I don't WANT to know any solution, The entire game feels like a precious magic toy. If I get stuck on anything, there's so much to do I can just bookmark the location and return later. I want to keep thinking about how to solve problems and I don't want anyone telling me the solution.

ZELDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
 
reached an encampment near the dedalus island, near the ocean, but no matter what i tried, it was impossibile to get on top of it and reach the chest the bokoblin were guarding...no cliffs to glide from,no grass to put on fire to get some currents,no water to make pillars...
i wonder if there's a way or nintendo just didn't realize you can't jump up there
 
This would require to buy two copies. I think we will have to wait for someone from the press doing this.
I think DF did a loading time test when comparing Switch cart to WiiU disc, so if anyone here have the digital Switch version they could clock it and compare with DF's times for the cart version.

Were there any ropes you could shoot to lower a walkway? I've had to do that before.

Quick question, is there anyway to see if we missed something (like a chest) in a Shrine ? I assume not but figured I'd ask.

If you got everything in a shrine then a little treasure chest icon will appear by it's name when you highlight it on the world map.

shrine not cleared yet = symbol's core is yellow


shrine cleared, treasures left/not found = blue icon

shrine cleared and treasures found = shrine blue with a chest next to name

Yep, I've done a lot of "stamp with skull or treasure chest" and then flitted off to do some other thing that caught my eye on the way to the thing that I can't figure out or do yet. No regrets in leaving shit behind because you quickly find another distraction.

Haven't felt this way about a game since Morrowind.

I agree, I followed the story pretty faithfully aside from shrines I found until I got the camera. After that it was free roam city for a good two days.
 
You can tell the people decrying stamina upgrades aren't lunging up cliff faces and gliding FOREVER, it's the best.



Dragging up this post from a few pages back but I'm happy to see someone with a similar reaction to me for that segment.
I can already see that one of the biggest detraction points brought up in BotW discussions is going to be a lack of traditional style dungeons, but boy they better not dump on the beasts, some incredibly cool dynamic stuff from the two I've played through.

I also excepted them to be the one time the game would cave in on its consistent interior sizes relevant to the world we see but nope, the whole thing is to scale and that oddly impresses me.

Yeah it's a brilliant feat for me too. Similar in scope to the Colossis. BotW has everything lol.
 
Akkala Tower, the one with
all the poisonous stuff around it
, took a while to climb lol.
Had to screw around with the two metal boxes you can find nearby, but it was difficult enough even with those that I feel like I should've done this one later on with some other help.

Any trees to spring off?

This is exactly how I feel. This game is amazing to explore and unravel. It's crazy how varied every bit of content is.

no..it was just an encampment ,palafitte-style, surrounding a big tree..the "first floor" was too high to reach,and there were no bridges or ramps to get there,and link doesn't jump nowhere as high to grab to the ledge, also there was nowhere a cliff high enough to glide from
 
Just like a Far Cry game, I'm discovering all the towers first for ease of travel and finishing any shrines I run into along the way, both for ease of travel as well as powering up.

So far I have been able to keep my eye on the prize and not get terribly sidetracked.

Fantastic game. My 10yr old daughter is completely engrossed in everything about it. We trade the controller often and talk through each new challenge, and there is a lot to talk about!
 
I have finished
2 out of the 4 dungeons about 35 trials and I have been splitting my upgrades (so one heart container, 1 stamina vessel etc. I am on track to getting almost 13 hearts so then I will book it to get the master sword then.
Man is this game amazing, hands down one of the best Zelda games not only gameplay wise but the story is told wonderfully. I thought I would not like the English voice acting when that trailer came out but it is really fitting and the voice actor for Princess Zelda in some of the
memory flashbacks
is quite good. Still weird having Link be silent while others are speaking to him.

My goal is that but I get distracted too easily and have ended up in a weird zig-zagging exploration, I am weak.

And ya, my 10 y/o son emphatically declared yesterday that this game is now his favorite, finally usurping Minecraft and Terraria as the game he won't fucking stop talking about.
 
So I beat the first Divine Beast dungeon last night (Ruta) and it was...I'm speechless. Everything leading up to it, the design, the story, the boss...Just perfect game design.

Now I have no idea where to go and I love it.

Makes me sad that I start back up at work tomorrow. 12 hour days 6 days a week. May bee too tired to play extensively after today.
