Jesus christ, Thunderblight dude was intense. These boss fights don't mess around.

 

[Broken Hope]

Got to love fighting monsters during a lightning storm, near grass wth a weapon that freezes them. Actually had 0 FPS for almost 3 seconds.

Docked mode.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

...or other things horses like.

Oh god I wish I could feed the horse 5 chillis cooked up and watch it go haywire.

 

[Easy_G]

If you've registered a horse you can leave it (in a safe area) and it'll either be there for you when you get back, or you can go to a Stable and recall it from there.

So a registered horse can be picked up from a stable without dropping it off? That would be great.

 

[nOoblet16]

Man it rains an awful lot and for a long time in this game, it's actually quite annoying. You can't climb, you can't cook, you can't camp, often you can't use a lot of weapons if there's lightning. All I can do is just leave the game running and wait it out. I'm doing this quest where I have to take fire to this other place and twice has it started to rain halfway through, I used the "checkpoints" to save the fire but even those are far and few.

Plus I don't understand why I can't run with the torch out. Infact the game has no animation for running with any equipped weapon as Link holsters anything you have equipped if you run ...which is just weird.

 

[EloquentM]

Does anybody know what it means when a weapon shimmers in the top right corner of its menu icon? I'm guessing it means it's more durable, but I'm not positive...

It means the weapon is brand spanking new because you haven't used it yet. It means %0 degradation so far for that weapon.

 

[marrec]

Yes, at least in my experience that's the case.

I tested this by leaving a horse in the middle of a field by Kakariko, then fast traveling to a stable and recalling it from there.

 

[Flying Toaster]

Game is absolutely amazing. I have spent more time running around like an idiot then actually accomplishing anything.

 

[Easy_G]

Thanks! I'll give it a shot. I've been tentative with leaving my horse around, but now that I have a couple I'm not as worried anyway.

I ran into the same issue when I first got to the initial fire. I stayed at the inn nearby till morning... and the next thing the rain was gone and I did it easily.

You shouldn't run with sharp objects... lol

Trying to go blind entirely with this.

Just answer me this please.

1) is there a rendition of the classic zelda theme ?

2) is there a "hero" green tunic that you can get ?

Thank you !

I think you can get some cover, make a campfire, and then rest until it stops raining.

How easily do the magic rods break?
Thinking of trying Goron area with Ice Rod, but that's all I have.

Sorry, reposting for another page:

Gonna need some Moblin Guts, any ideas where to head to? As far as I understand it, I need to find black moblins.

I've seen them around, but can't for the life of me find them anymore.

I'm guessing if you took out another horse your other horse gets put in the stables then just get the one you actually want.

 

[Richie]

I'm loving this game much, much more than I can go into detail at while at the office...

...I'll say though, anyone else think it a missed opportunity for comedy gold that (Spoilers on a silly plot-required outfit)

Spoiler

Gerudo Link doesn't elicit different reactions from NPC outside of the Gerudo desert? Unless I'm missing something, 'cause there was no difference with the habitants of Kakariko or Hateno that I talked to, and I would have loved to see how Impa, Paya, Manny or Prima would have reacted...More so when different masks in both OoT and MM did affect how most everyone reacted to you!

I haven't heard it yet.

There isn't a traditional one I have found in game yet... but you can dye certain clothes.

You can get more traditional outfits via Amiibos.

 

[Parshias7]

Anybody get the hardcover guide? Thinking about it picking it up as a reference for later on after I'm done with everything myself. I'm curious about the quality of the guide.

Mine came yesterday. The foldout map is super nice, has a map on both sides, one for Korok Seeds and the other for shrines/roads/villages.

It is laid out in an interesting way. It has all the story stuff up front, then a shrine section, then side quests, then inventory and so on. So sometimes it is a little confusing like when you want to look up a shrine quest you need to look in the shrine section not the quest section.

Otherwise I am really enjoying it so far.

Camp fire goes out too in heavy rain lol

Don't want to pay for a bed because I'm a peasant.

 

[Totakeke]

I don't know where specifically, but if I were to do it, I would warp to a tower in a region where there's harder mobs, and look for for treehouse encampments where moblins always are.

 

[Jailer of Hope]

I think there's a TP version and WW version that you can get through certain amiibo. Not sure about others in the game though.

 

[Venfayth]

Man the VA sucks.. Takes me out of the game in a big way. It feels like nobody knows how to play a young girl in a video game without using that super cliched and obnoxious "soft fluffy young girl" voice.

I already mentioned in my post...you can't camp since camp fire goes out.

Yes to both

Find cover to start the fire?

Also there is the inn I mentioned earlier.

What reward do you get for the

[Plum]

I'm in a dungeon and I'm stumped. It's the

Elephant

dungeon.

Spoiler

There's a big wheel with a ball, and a chest sandwiched in between two rocks. The ball and the rocks can be put into stasis but launching them does nothing. I've got no clue what else I can do.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

i thought there was one around there under a cover but im probably mistaken

 

[Timeaisis]

I see people screenshots with like 10+ hearts already, what the hell guys. I've played this game for well over 20+ hours and have 6 lol.


Are people just rushing to shrines or something? Goddamn.

Yeah I do agree with that, though despite finding her VA a little iffy, I do really like this Zelda. She seems a little more Hermione-esque in her characterization, it's kind of charming.

 

[Slaythe]

Thanks for the answers.

So if you buy amiibos you get specific costume of the figure ? Interesting... i bought an entire console for the game so I'm not gonna buy those in the near future but interesting ...

Is there a green tunic you can get without amiibos then ?

I know this game goes for something new, but I'm a sucker for nostalgia what can I say ?!

Turn the wheel with the water and use stasis on one of the rocks so you can get the chest.

Oh wow, I really don't understand the Lost Woods.

There are a couple of ways to navigate the Lost Woods. The quickest - albeit less-common way - is to

Spoiler

look for some sort of visual cue, something that sticks out, and follow it. Examples that I've seen thus far are collectible plants that form a path, tree branches (which you can collect) falling to form a path and (the quickest - just be sure to be ready to run after it) a deer running through the woods away from me.

The slower, more reliable way is to

Spoiler

walk very slowly. Think of the trees as either side of a gate. I suggest walking slowly in general, but be especially mindful when you're walking between any two trees. The moment the music starts to build, and the fog starts to get thick, pull back and run in the opposite direction. You'll avoid being sent back to the "beginning" of whatever area you're in.

I have to say that I wasn't really feeling this game up until this point, but the Lost Woods really impressed me. Such a cool area. It kind of reminds me of The Path, a game that uses some really interesting mechanics to keep you lost in the woods. I like how the Lost Woods

Spoiler

gives you hints at times, though. I just don't know how consistent they are.

Deku Tree also sounds awful. Everyone sounds awful when they're actually speaking a language. I found the NPCs who talk gibberish with a little Japanese inbetween much more charming.

I don't mind Zelda's character at all. Just her VA bothers me. Also Mipha's VA has basically the same problem for me.

Without giving it away entirely:

Spoiler

You're on the right track with stasis, but you need to figure out a way to get the wheel to move. Check out how the other wheel is moving and look at what you've got on your disposal. The slate has something that you may not have put to use yet.

Not a Link looking tunic no... but you can die it to green. I died all my clothes green when I first got to the dye shop.
