Beat
the Lynel from the Zora quest today.
What a satisfying feeling when I finally won! Reminded me of Souls games. This game has been a hell of a ride so far, and I can't help but grin when I look at the map and see that I've only seem like one third of the it. Probably less.
 
Shrine spoilers:

One of the shrines is surrounded by flowers and this lady prevents you from touching them. Its a cute maze to get to the shrine without touching the flowers, but if you do it too many times.... She gets pissed and beats the shit out of you. This game man....
 
Holy shit!

That was what I thought of doing first, but I got stuck with that method around the bridge leading towards the hill up to the building. I had to go find a torch at that point as the next lantern was not in visible range (unless I missed one).

Torch makes it trivial to do.


Has anyone found a horse with higher stats than 4/3/4? That was the very first horse I caught, and I haven't really found myself interested in using any of the lesser ones.

I also wish there were a way to keep your horse with you when you travel, other than leaving them at a stable. I haven't been often going by those places, and have been using the fast travel to get to quest areas, so I've found myself going around on foot alot and having to trek back to wherever I left my horse.
 
Something about the trek up to
Zora's Domain
felt epic. The rain, the fights, the climbing. Man it felt like I was really having to work to get somewhere and I was immersed.
 
If there's no paraglider in the next Zelda, I'll weep.

It's such a ridiculously fun tool, it changes up combat and traversal so well, and it's aesthetic as fuck.
 
Guys, after setting the Sheikah sensor to detectan item, how to I cancel it without selecting a different item for it to detect? I want to set it back to detecting shrines but don't know how.

Bring it up and hit Y, then just push down to the shrine radar.

It's what I've been hoping for since Wind Waker. Skyward Sword's sailcloth was a cruel tease.
 
My journey to find the Korok forest has resulted in me finding like 5 stables, a bunch of shrines and korok seeds.

And no forest...I think I took a wrong turn somewhere but I'll figure it out!
 
My god I just started playing this game. So far with the difficulty and exploration this is everything I wanted in a zelda game. I've died like 8 times in 4 hours. It looks amazing to me in motion.
 
Im maybe 20 hours in, and enjoying it a lot. The first area left a pretty bad impression, but it picked up as soon as i left the plateu. Impressed with the overworld, especially considering that it is a Wii U game. The narrative, npc's and quests are not particularly strong however, so the exploration is what carries it for me, and the hope of finding something more interesting from narrative perspective. Combat it pretty basic and suffers a lot because of the framerate issues, but its servicable even if its not engaging a lot of the time. I think i started avoiding encounters with "trash" mobs within 1-2 hours of starting the game because how much of a chore it is with this combat. The puzzles and shrines are great though, really enjoying doing them just for the sake of it, rather than for the soul orb rewards, which get old pretty fast.

All in all a great game so far where the overworld, physics, puzzles and sandbox elements shine, but a great deal of other things are way behind the curve.
 
My first time playing a Zelda game and I can't believe how fun, relaxing, and great this is. Played about an hour now. This game is very clever and smart. I really want to explore everything is this world.
 
I decided to just go activate a bunch of Sheikah Towers instead of making any story progress. Got most of the map opened now, killed my first Guardian, found a giant sword on a snowy mountain, and am now ready to do Geruda stuff.
 
So uh

any strategies on getting a Sheikah Tower in the middle of a lake surrounded by 3 Thunder Wizzrobes?

There's a section on the side of the tower where Wizzrobes don't look out. Use a bomb explosion to lure them into it then climb when they're now watching.

Or just lure one out of its spot and kill it lol. I dunno if you can one shot a lightning Wizzrobe with an elemental arrow though.
 
Just bought the Wolf link amiibo, can't wait to use it 😊

Also, fuck that centaur looking enemy that appears in important locations, I had to use a million pieces of food/elixers.
 
You can either sell the gems or food you cook and just get more later or you can wait until you get to the gambling house and save scum your way into some cash.

snow bowling is easier and safer once you learn to get a strike basically everytime....I'm at 5k rupees and I stopped lol

This is true but I imagine they'd find the gambling house quite a bit sooner. You could also play minigames instead should you stumble upon them
 
So Im watching my sister play the game, remember the shirine where you get the bombs and how it wants you to use the bombs to break blocks?

Well my sister is using a hammer she picked up earlier. And it works. What the fuck
 
Holy shit Gerudo tower, took me forever to find, basically explored that entire province before finding it. Sooooo cool though.
 
Man, I'm jealous of some of these armors. In some videos Link looks to be
wearing full plate armor
, yet I barely got some duds at the
Rito village
that was costly. :/
 
Is there any way to cook in the wild? I know you can create a fire with wood and flint but I can't drop food on it.

I don't believe you can make the traditional cooking pots, no.

But you can drop food in the campfire flames and get a better version.

You can drop materials into the camp fire to roast/bake them since there's no pot to cook stuff by yourself. A lot of enemy camps in the wild have cooking spots though.

I got the full armor and dyed it all gray. It's so much easier to not die after you buy it.
