How do I make the controls more manageable?

I find the games logic isn't meshing with mine. Everything seems backwards interns of the select button, cancel button etc.

Yea same, Nintendo and Microsoft need to be friends and adopt the same button layout.

 

[ASHES IN THE HOURGLASS]

Everyone goes through this phase while playing this game. There is that moment where you keep dying and really have no idea what to do or why as your Goddamn weapons keep breaking and the rain won't stop.

Anyways, my advice is to learn how to to cook so enemies aren't one shotting you, you can improve resistance, attack power, defense, you name it. And then just do the story missions. You'll get back on track eventually.

I've beaten one of the dungeons and have played roughly 20 hours of the game. The difficulty has nothing to do with the game. If anything I don't think it's hard enough.

As far as I know, you can't really make it any better. Anyway, the only issues i really have is going from a run directly into a jump.

 

[BFIB]

LOL, so I spent two hours in one extremely small area tonight, heading to Hateo Village. This game just eats the time away, I started at 7:00 and its 9:30.

This game is just insane.......

 

[Majukun]

no it's not

what other fame in the series does that? and I mean referring Directly, with no possible misunderstanding, to a previous game.. usually the references to other zelda are at best vague

I have probably 30 hours on my game time. I've only done 1 divine beast, and 30 or so shrines. And only 3 memories. This game is easily 100 hours.

It's all backasswards to me too. I got used to it for the most part but I do wish you could remap the configuration.

 

[Speely]

One of my favorite things about this game is that even though it's massive, every part of it that I have seen is designed to draw you into exploration and investigation not just because you can, but because there is something to be experienced/gotten there. "Going there" just to go there is no longer an allowable dynamic.

This feels great when combined with the cohesive physics and survival elements that put you in the world.

There is never a time when I feel like Link does not live in this world. There is no disconnection between character and playground.

Amazing.

 

[Wensih]

So uh

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

I just leaped up the tower (need to allocate orbs for stamina).

 

[Addi]

Two questions:

Is there a reliable way to make rupees early game? I'd like to buy some armor.

Also, I just upgraded

Spoiler

the slate at the 2nd village and then went and got the memory quest with Impa

is there any obvious place to go next, or should I just explore? I ran into the

Spoiler

Zora Prince

but the game had been pretty linear up until that point, so I'd rather not face anything too out of my range for now.

For rupees: go back to the plateau and beat the stone monster. It gives you a lot of valuable stones you can sell.

Regarding your first dungeon, you can pick the one you want but it seems like everybody went for

Spoiler

the Zora one.

It's not too hard at all.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I've beaten the lynel:,D and got better at the slow down dodge maybe

 

[Cathcart]

Ocarina has the better weapon

Spoiler

(Biggoron's Sword vs Toon Link's Boomerang)

. The clothing looks very similar to each other, with only minor details different (like hair style and Toon Link's swirly belt), since they're both just green tunics with white pants and a pointy green hat.

Also Toon Link's gear works for both Toon Link amiibo, so you can pick up the much cheaper Smash one. The Hero of Time gear is exclusive to only the Ocarina Link amiibo.

Nice, thanks. I guess word is spreading because people are buying them up fast. Price on both went up ten dollars between our posts.

Luckily I just found out a friend has Toon Link so I guess I'm going to his place every day now, lol.

Great, thanks! I'll head that direction. I've done about 12 shrines so far so if it's too hard I'll just go find some more.

Just finished climbing Mt. Lanaryu. What an awesome experience, anyone who hasn't try it yet, should plan out a trip there.

Well uhh...okay then.

The game's hard stuff is the shrine quest. Dont think I'll be able to do them all without a guide.

God dammit

I saw what appeared to be a shooting star from the entrance to Gerudo Town that landed all the way back past Kara Kara Bazaar and by the time I could get to it, it disappeared

This is an issue with Nintendo and everyone else (the confirm/cancel buttons being reversed) and it's been that way for ages. It always takes getting used to to play a Nintendo game, then later it takes getting used to going back to normal.

 

[Timeaisis]

Did not really care for the first dungeon

Ruto

. It we OK I guess, but kind of obtuse and more aggravating then interesting.

Hope they improve from here.

The Fateful Stars Shrine has me completely stumped. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious, but I don't even know where to begin.

Majora's Mask refers directly to OOT with the ocarina of time and Zelda.

This has been a Nintendo (and Japanese console) standard for ages, if you're referring to A as confirm and B as cancel.

What's your train of thought/logic right now? I can give some hints, but it's an amazing feeling when it just clicks.

You are looking for a hidden shrine, not a Golem

I don't even know. I literally have no idea where to start. But that's ok though, I'm not looking for any hints. I've been playing through the full game without any sort of guide, so when I can't figure something out I just come back later

Don't you want that fast travel point though?

Okay how the heck do I dive in this quest?

I'm bummed out now, I found a

Stalhorse and I was riding it around and it looked like I was raising a bond meeter with it, but I'm not allowed to board it at a stable.

 

[enoki]

You don't have to complete the shrine to fast travel to it later, you only need to reach it.

Jump over the edge, don't run.

Right, that shrine was the most "IQ-test" I have seen yet

Don't you want that fast travel point though?

You only need to open the shrine's door to make it a travel point, you don't need to beat it

Oh look it's raining again. Guess I'll stand here like an asshole for a few minutes until I can climb again.

Lol, twice now the game has put elaborate puzzles only for me to find a simple one button solution.

I love it.

 

[shingi70]

This game is amazing, just finished my second dungeon after 40 hours in. I then on goading on my girlfriend I decide to go to Hyrule Castle ducking an dodging for my life until I actually fight Ganon.


Then after that I explored the castle and made out with a ton of new gear.

Do killed Guardians respawn after the bloodmoon.

Cooking being obtuse is a good thing. Jesus, I just looked at some of these receipts with hilariously OP effects.

Do you only have to scan the Smash Link amiibo only once to get Epona, or do you always have to scan it any time you want Epona?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I like when there's a mud puzzle that you clearly need to do something to beat, but you can just freeze the mud with cryogenic and cheese the obstacle

Do you only have to scan the Smash Link amiibo only once to get Epona, or do you always have to scan it any time you want Epona?

Once you register her, she's yours. Make sure to bring her to a stable.

 

[Kinsei]

The build up to the Zora dungeon is one of the coolest things in the series. The dungeon itself was pretty fun too.

 

[Persona7]

Do you only have to scan the Smash Link amiibo only once to get Epona, or do you always have to scan it any time you want Epona?

I believe it only works once so you have to scan the amiibo and immediately register Epona.

 

[MGrant]

Anyone figure out how to make bread or cakes yet? I've tried like every combination of grain, eggs, and sugar.

Does anyone know of any stable locations west of central hyrule fields like near Hyrule ridge?

That entire region seems devoid of almost anything for some reason

 

[Timeaisis]

Is there a chest piece for the rubber armor? I found the helm and leggings close together but never found a chest piece.

I didn't care for the dungeon itself, but I agree the lead up is fantastic.

Oh my god I figured it out!

That was so gooood!

Collect apples make a 5 apple simmered fruit. Should get you 50 rupees a pop. Not sure if it's the same price everywhere, but pretty sure Hateno Village shops ask for that much.
