Let me know. I'm contemplating doing the same.
Thanks, will be looking for that, not sure I have been to that stable. For some reason I though it could be on the plateau making the story go full circle. Haha, ran around in that forrest for some time and beat the golem again.
Just look at it! It's fucking worth it

Probably the best armor set in the game in my opinion. Sneak past enemies, easier to grab insects and critters, easier to mount horses, plus it looks cool.
The +2 upgrade set bonus increases speed at night.

There is a quest later on,
he asks you to take a picture of it.
I feel the Perfect Parry and Shields in general are a wasted potential to add depth to the gameplay. Haven't finished the game yet, but according to my catalogue I've seen almost all shields.
Perfect Parry is a really cool mechanic that's restricted to long-range interactions. The risk reward is completely skewed in close combat since attempting a Furry Rush is easier, safer and offers the same result if it succeeds.
Shields have barely any difference between each other besides the wood/metallic aspect conposition. They don't feel unique. Apart of the
which reflects beams and the
which is also an attacking tool, there are no interesting properties being explored.
I feel the development team lost the chance to flesh them out a bit more. The shield attack could actually serve more purposes besides the extremely rare Shield Parry. Here are some ideas of the areas Nintendo could have explored:
Fire Shield: Shield Attack shoots a ball of fire. Fire resistance. Low durability and defense.
Light Shield: Allows Link to do the side roll (from tp) after the sidestep. Low defense.
Mirror Shield: Reflect most ranged attacks. Breaks instantly if hit by melee attacks.
Magnetic Shield: Hold Shield Attack to start dragging metal objects towards Link.
Surfers Shield: Increases Shield Boarding Speed. Low defense and durability.
Rito Shield: Shield Attack blows a small gust of wind that pushes objects slightly away.
Half Moon Shield: Shield attack throws Shield like the boomerangue weapon. Needs to be cacthed back.
Giant Shield: Two handed shield. Slows Link significantly. High Attack and Durability.
Octorok Shield: Shield attack shoots rock.

It's absolutely worth it. l often unequip everything except a short weapon like a lizalfos boomerang and just play like an assassin, sneaking on bokoblins and backstabbing them. lt also helps for horse taming, especially a very peculiar one.
Follow the main quest and you get
a camera
Haha, I do the same. I like to use sheika sword and shield.
Finally reach Goron city...talk about it being hard O_O
Really getting distracted when I set mt goals toward somewhere. Is all 'Shiny stuff in the distance! That mountain looks suspicious...time ti climb! And enemy camp in the distance...attack!!!'.
I got lost and thought since I was near a shrine, meant I was near the city...No, I was near a shrine surrounded by lava with just 5 minutes left on my fire resistance. Did manage to find the right path...found the shrine and died right afterwards from fire burns The price to stay on goron city is high!! Damn Goron armor store extortion!!

I think I'll try walking up to insects and wildlife at full speed (not sprinting). If they don't flee I'll already consider it worth the money.

Oh, so I'm not supposed to do anything with him yet? Damn, I wasted a little too much time trying to get that quest to activate, lol.
i'm sad about (zora domain slight spoils)
the zora suit that lets you climb waterfalls is more like 'it will let you climb these waterfalls, the ones we mark that you are able to climb'. I want to climb like every damn waterfall, even these shitty tiny trickles in the east of the map.

When you visit a town, do you get a fast travel point to that town?
Robin64

Nope, but there's usually a Shrine in the area anyway.
PancakeBurglar

Every town and stable has a shrine near it and those are your fast travel points.
No but yes cause but every town has a convenient shrine in it basically.
A shrine is nearby. You can fast travel to the shrine.

Why am I getting so Monster Hunter addicted to crafting armor to increase their levels? I took a break from questing to track down Moblins and keese for Moblin guts and keese eyeballs... :/

It's definitely worth it. As long as enemies don't see you, you can flat up just run behind them (not sprint) and stealth attack them. Doesn't work on the mini bosses though. Also you can basically just run up to wildlife and bugs without them running away.

Agreed, shields are a bit underwhelming. Why can't I at least make enemies stagger with a Shield bash? Also think that dodging is far superior to parrying since you don't get decked in the face if you mess up the timing. I would have loved to see the Helm Splicer from Twilight Princess back, now THAT was a satisfying follow-up attack.
Cryonis does this anyway.
There's one right by the ruins where you first parachute down from the starting area where I couldn't find anything, all the other have so far though so guessing I missed something
The effect is great and it looks stylin as fuck. Totally worth.
You read my mind, those were exactly the games I was thinking of when I wrote my post.
Woah, can´t believe I didn´t know this! I thought timing was weird and that was why I wasn´t getting as many Flurry Attacks, even though I could get them consistently when fighting Lynels. Game changer! Huge thanks mate!!
If I remember correctly, every time I´ve triggered Flurry Attack from a spear attack it´s been by dodging to the side.
Cool ideas. How do you trigger the shield attack? I´m currently going through my 3rd Beast Shield and haven´t found how to do it. Also, parrying disarms the opponent, but Flurry Attacks only do so if the enemy is thrown to the ground (not sure, just my perception). I haven´t tried parrying an enemy which couldn´t be downed like a Lynel, maybe if you parry he´s disarmed?Peléo;231688851 said:
I´m going to start parrying more, so far I was only using it to reflect Guardian lasers.

Yeah I agree, I often have too many good weapons and when I pick up another good one I need to debate whether I want to replace something or not lol it's not a bad problem to have though.
You can sort of do something similar, jump forward and attack mid-air to make a plunge attack. You don´t need to be gliding before you do it, you can just jump from the ground while locked onto an enemy. It´s a very nice way to break their guard or make enemies flinch when you´re surrounded.
I won't spoil you yet what they do, if you don't encounter samba korok soon, you can come back and ask again. You should meet him near a beginner stable.
Yeah that guy wiped the floor with me the first time we fought. I got some new armor (Hylian armor - the cloth one, not the metal one -, before that I only had clothes), two more hearts (from 6 to 8 iirc), wooden weapons and some Electric resistance potions. That was juuuust enough to survive a single hit from him. His second phase involved a lot of running around like a chicken until I figured it out, but it was really satisfying. The ability you get from there was really worth doing that one first though, it's amazing.
I don't think I've ever a played that evoked so well the joy of wandering around in the wilderness. The wind in the grass, the small animals and insects... this game is something special all right.
Tiny nitpick: I think the sound of Links footsteps and gear is way too loud in the audio mix.

Anyone else feel the music is lacking? I only seem to notice music when I'm near an enemy, in a village or the very few piano keys at the
(Which is really nice actually).
I want something epic when I walk through the open land.
Only about 7 hours in so hopefully it changes.

Yup I
climbed to a high point and glided onto each one, landed gently, took the ball and ran.
Music is sparse when you're just out exploring in the wilderness, but when something big happens the music will kick in and when it does it's great.
Yo I just did the first 'main dungeon' (calling it this for spoiler purposes) and wtf man- it had good puzzles but thats it? One room? I thought we would get some massive dungeons with multiple rooms like OoT. Remember the Water Temple etc?
Man that's what this game is really missing- those big ass dungeons. Unless things change later on, that's quite disappointing for me.
And knowing how the shrines work, I imagine the other 'main dungeons' follow a similar format.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan

If you wear the Sheikah pants/shoes footsteps are a bit quieter iirc.

I think if you increase your stealth your gear becomes quiet. Whenever I wear my shiekah stuff I dont hear my stuff clink. But correct me if Im wrong.

Does lighting all the lamps in H
do anything?

Yeah, that was the only boss I had trouble on. Everything else I one-shotted, even the final boss.
My problem was not understanding when the appropriate time to dodge was, made more difficult by the boss' melee attack being a sort of invisible teleport. What eventually worked for me was not trying to get a perfect dodge for the flurry attack, since that was inconsistent, but instead dodging right as soon as the boss began the attack so that I'd have enough time to recover from the dodge and get an attack of my own in before he teleported away.

I feel it is a little lacking, it's nowhere near as memorable as past Zelda games for me so far, but that might be due to the lack of an overworld theme. The music that does exist is gorgeous, I just want more of it. I'm about 30 hours in.
Yes..it's a quest/task or whatever.
