Haven't left the plateau yet (out of town all weekend lol) love the game to pieces- but does anyone have any hope that they'll add customizable button schemes beyond the jump sprint switch? I'm sure it's too early to say but lo, fully remappable buttons are missed.

Me:"Um let's explore this

solitaire island with a dungeon

*Extreme trial battle*

I'm surprised you didn't have an "Extreme card game battle"

 

[Megauap]

You shouldn't leave your horse in a teleport spot or the game will soft lock, forcing you to close it and open it again:

[Sheroking]

So, I got to the

Spoiler

Akkala Ancient Tech Lab

and the guy there said he wanted to see

Spoiler

the 100 year old wounds

before he would speak with me.

Is that tied into

Spoiler

finding the memories? Do I need to find all of them?

Spoiler

Get nekkid

 

[broncobuster]

I really need to commit to learning to parry now that I've heard about what you're capable of parrying. Maybe I'm rusty or my timing is off but the window seems small.

 

[foxuzamaki]

So a full or rather different version of that song that plays in the 2nd Zelda trailer plays at the top of my lanaryu, looks like the beginning part is a song in itswlf, still trying to find that other part thr was so beautiful

I'm terrible at parrying too. I just can't do it.

 

[archreaper93]

Argh, I need one more Ancient Core to upgrade stasis. I got 2 from random chests in shrines, but there's gotta be another "for sure" way to get one more.

(Also, I probably can't kill one of those large guardians yet). Any ideas guys?

If you time your shield parry perfectly, you can reflect guardian shots back at them, regardless of what shield you have.. The moving ones on the ground can sometimes drop Ancient Cores. The big flying ones might also drop them, but haven't killed one to test it out yet.

 

[JeTmAn81]

I'm bad at it in this game too, as I am in Souls games

 

[blame space]

do i really have to go out and find the exact spots of these photographs? 😒

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I'm very comfortable in Bloodborne, which is part of what messes me up. I try to time my dodges like I'm in that game, but that doesn't work in Zelda.

 

[EroticSushi]

Spoiler

After checking out the tech lab in Hateno Village, you can get a side quest there regarding someone named Robbie that will have those in stock for rupees and ancient parts.

I just have

Spoiler

Robbie's Research in my quest list. Do you just talk to him? I did the Sunshroom Sensing quest from him already.

 

[Sheroking]

The painter that travels across Hyrule will tell you their approximate location, one at a time.

 

[Vanguard771]

Does anyone else just feel brainless with these dungeons? I'm at

Spoiler

the camel in Gerudo desert

and just kinda stumped with the gimmick.

If you are trying to

Spoiler

activate the pedestal thing in the "humps"

think about what different things in the game can

Spoiler

conduct electricity

. That's how I finished it.

 

[RPGCrazied]

For memories? Yes.

 

[KingBroly]

I'm terrible at parrying too. I just can't do it.

I figured out how to do it with the Tiny Guardians. So awesome.

Spoiler

Parry right when the beam leaves it's eye, regardless of how close you are.

Take off your clothes!

Link has the wound regardless of memory, you just need a way to show it to him

...fuck. I overthought it.

 

[Luigi87]

I just got to Eventide Island.
... This game gets more and more awesome.

 

[whyamihere]

Man, Mipha's voice actress is baaaaaad.

 

[Shaanyboi]

The shrine at Hateno Village was some real bullshit...

 

[rhandino]

Hahaha holy shit this game surprises me all the time. I went to go do the sheep quest at Hateno Beach and combed over that whole area.

Spoiler

I see a shrine across the water. There is no way I'm getting to it so I go up the nearest cliff. Another shrine! I finish that one, glide down, do the second shrine, and decide to take the close raft to the nearest island. Then the game decides "oh so I hear you like a challenge?" I spent hours trying to overcome that island! Hahaha

I just got to Eventide Island.
... This game gets more and more awesome.

!!!

yaaaas! I love that area so much.

Spoiler

The fact that I reached it using a raft really sold me on the idea of being stranded.

 

[Inferno313]

Keep playing, there's a recurring NPC who you'll come across repeatedly who takes a look at a photo and tells you where you need to go to find it.

 

[blame space]

well yeah, but just to continue this quest.. this is the only realistic main quest i have open.

 

[Wanderer5]

I just have

Spoiler

Robbie's Research in my quest list. Do you just talk to him? I did the Sunshroom Sensing quest from him already.

Spoiler

Not sure if I did the sunshroom sensing quest, but I went to talk to him and had to get the furnace running to access the ancient gear vendor.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

Does not compute

Done for like 2 hours, at least, hard as it may be.

Man this game brings me so much joy. Can't get enough.

 

[Wallach]

Is there any data saved to the cart itself? When my Master Edition finally arrives I would like to pass the standard copy on to someone.

Anyone know the answer to this?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Man, Mipha's voice actress is baaaaaad.

I think its average, not great, not bad. Also, this is their first venture into voicing a Zelda game. Maybe next time they will go all out. These could be treehouse employees. lol

 

[DecoReturns]

Parrying the Guardians lasers feels so good.

Looks cool too

 

[Inferno313]

well yeah, but just to continue this quest.. this is the only realistic main quest i have open.

Finding those pictures IS that quest. You don't have to worry about advancing it right now, because it's something you're expected to do over the course of the entire game.

 

[Loci]

Oh wow that's all there is to it? I'd been trying to time pressing L, trying to roll the analog stick with the direction it's throwing me around in and everything. Thanks!

seriously? that's it? lol

Thank you!

yup. I also failed couple of times with the horses at the beginning. Nobody ever says you have to mash the L button or anything. I tried to hold, tried to time it, and then realized I just press the button to slowly.
After pressing A I always use my right hand to mash the L button now, lol. Gotta make sure.

 

[Sheroking]

I think its average, not great, not bad. Also, this is their first venture into voicing a Zelda game. Maybe next time they will go all out. These could be treehouse employees. lol

Mipha and Zelda are really the only voice actors I have a problem with in this game. They're trying WAY too hard to be timid and soft-spoken. It's a little cringey.

 

[7roject28]

Game crashed on me. Closed it and restarted it but it kept crashing and won't load. So I took the cartridge out and blew on it and stuck it in and it worked! Lol, just messing. I just took it out and put it back in and it worked again.

 

[Exuro]

There are other enemies. I'm up to my ears in Lizalfos right now.

Sure. Theres lizalfos as well, but most enemies are variations of those. I haven't seen staple enemies like

Spoiler

skulltulas or deku babas

.

 

[Jintor]

Can you land on

Spoiler

flying guardians

or do you just slide off?

 

[Anteo]

Link has the wound regardless of memory, you just need a way to show it to him

To be fair it would be easier to solve if his model had actual scars.

 

[Blackquill]

Got on the far south-east island

80 hours in and this game still amazes me

 

[bobbychalkers]

The

Spoiler

ball maze puzzle

?

Spoiler

I let the ball drop on purpose and flipped it upside down completely so I could use the flat side and flipped it on course, I'm really surprised they let me do that.

 

[TheGeniusArcana]

Man, Mipha's voice actress is baaaaaad.

It says a lot that most of the random NPC exclamations are better than a lot of the full voiced lines from important characters. It's not an entirely fair comparison, but yeaaaah.

 

[Wanderer5]

I wonder if there are merchants that are selling ancient parts (not the gear). I feel like I saw one.

Man, Mipha's voice actress is baaaaaad.

Meh she is okay. Yunobo on the other hand through....

 

[Inferno313]

To be fair it would be easier to solve if his model had actual scars.

There's nothing to solve? It's not a puzzle... What else would "show me your 100 year old wounds" possibly mean?

 

[arlucool]

Is there no way to store extra armor somewhere else? I kind of want ti all, but I have such limited space

I guess someone else can confirm this, but I guess if you buy a house, you could store (drop) your weapons there?

Yes. I've noticed this as well... very washed out. My TV is calibrated, and everything else looks great on it (PS4, XBone, PS3... even other WiiU games)

Does the Switch version look less washed out?

Something I noticed recently is that enabling Game mode on the Tv helps some Wii U games look "sharper".
Deus Ex doesn't look as foggy and color corrects the piss filthering. On the othe hand, it adds a severe motion blur when moving. In Pikmin 3, adds a little of noise but greatly tones down the soft bloom. On BotW, the shadows look darker and the colors are not washed out. But I guess is something that everyone needs to try for themselves and see if is of their liking.

I died 3 times doing this but wasn't even mad.

What's the criteria for sort weapons?
Order of pickup? stats? type? I don't get it.

Anyone knows?

What I did was

Spoiler

i spun the whole puzzle like a record on a record player so the "exit" was facing me - I think this is what you have to do to get the chest in there, too - and the ball happens to drop directly into the straightaway leading to the "exit". Don't have to faff about with going through the whole maze. I tried it your way at first but it was tricky without the walls, hahha.

Nah, they just cook with you by enchanting(?) your food to give it a boost.

You can do anything with any amount of hearts. This place is usually the first one people tackle.
