Don't be a wimp and kill him .

Spoiler

Shoot regular arrows at his head to stun him, run towards him and mount with A, and hack away, get thrown off and repeat.

Died like 10 times or so. Felt very Dark Souls-y!

I will fucking do that with my new character, mark my words! This fucker is going down!

 

[KayMote]

Oh man. There was a

to take up there. Or for filling out the journal of enemies?

There is a sidequest in the village where you need to have a picture of it - but don't worry. It reappears (probably after a blood moon?).

 

[Skyzard]

Yeah, not gonna try gathering all those seeds...

I don't look for them on purpose, I just go to areas looking for loot and they pop up. Always a pleasant surprise.

do anything?

Yes..it's a quest/task or whatever.

Dont think do. They just serve as checkpoints for the main story quest, unless i have missed one.

Maybe I missed one too - I didn't do it on my way up there but I did it on the way back and nothing triggered.

 

[takriel]

i'm sad about (zora domain slight spoils)

Spoiler

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.

You reminded me that I have yet to do that in the overworld. Are there climbable ones?

After way too long looking for him I finally found Dinraal. I was about to give up when he appeared.

Thanks for the scale, mr. Dragon.

I guess I should go kill Ganon now.

 

[Alrus]

In the end Guardians really aren't that menacing if you take them one on one. I used to be super scared of them and now I can breeze through Hyrule Fields without much worries.

 

[Septic360]

This game really hammers the lack of trophies/achievements on Ninty's machines. This is perfect Platinum trophy material.

I wanna go home and play! P_P

[Zomba13]

Btw, this game probably has the worst voice acting ever. It is ATROCIOUS. Wish we could hear japanese voiceovers

So far I think it's really just Zelda. She is too quite and soft spoken while trying to sound posh and it just doesn't seem like a real person. I don't know if it is the sound mixing or the acting but like, when she is frustrated or whatever it just comes across as someone pretending to be a posh person with their idea of anger rather than how VA should work where you believe the character is real and is going through those emotions.

The others seemed fine though. Mipha is very close to Zelda but I think pulls it off a little better. The rest though sound fine.

Wow... Lynel's are no joke. Am I supposed to

Either, or. Or skip it entirely by having enough of the item at the start.

Yup beat ya to it lol... posted and was like, SHIT i'm keeping it alive!

Did the shrines on the Great Plateau last night and saved the game right on the edge of the huge drop leading into the main game.

The adventure starts proper this evening!

I love it when people complain about spoilers but then quote the image, so even more people see it. No sympathy from me when you pull off that shit.

Oh wow, I had no idea you could do that! It's really easy getting flurry attacks against him so I just did that. Will try as soon as I get home!

Also, how many korok seeds are there? Thought there was a 100, but it's gotta be more.

I love the npc reactions, saw a goron and gerudo traveling together and a wolf startled them. Talking to them, they had new dialogue based of that encounter. Cool little detail.

Are you really making the argument that, in a game that happens in any infinite number of sequences, people should know this thing is out there and should have already seen it for themselves? This would have been a really amazing surprise. I would have loved to discover this for myself. I have been playing for 30 hours and haven't seen so much of a glimmer of this thing. We have a massive spoiler thread for this reason.

I am not usually sensitive to spoilers but, come on, that is a massive spoiler that just depressed a bunch of people here. Including me.

I fought it...killed me like 10 to 15 times. But I got the hang of how to fight him. Is not necessary in all honesty as you can find shock arrows by other means...but it felt SO, SO satisfying when I did it. One of my best battles, learning the pattern, then re-learning another pattern when he changes. Great battle all around, make sure to take a picture of it

First one I saw was Farosh before I even left the plateau. And I wouldn't have given a fuck if someone posted a picture first.

I find it funny you're so terrified of the image of a random creature unrelated to the story in a game that contains many random creatures unrelated to the story, but I removed it as soon as the first person complained

[Formless]

Voice acting seems ok to me but it has the weird anime dub thing where there's not enough space in between the sentences sometimes.

 

[Tunoku]

Therr is a npc that will give you hints.

I got a question about that.

Spoiler

You mean the painter in Kakariko, right? He's only given me one hint so far and that was for a photo I had already found a location for. Now, whenever I talk to him, he just talks about that spot and that's it. Do I have to do something to get him to spill the beans on some other photos of mine?

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Finally reach Goron city...talk about it being hard O_O

Spoiler

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!!

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!!!'.

Heh, it's fine.

Sound mix is a little weird tho.

Sometimes the voices are too low.

Maybe we should create an spoiler thread, so people could share their pictures and gifs without a problem. Though it should be different from the that is already created that contain leaked footage.

I found a couple randomly by the wooden bridge crossing the Hylia(?) river to the east of Hyrule castle and south of what I assume is the lost woods area (haven't gone up there yet but got the tower near-ish this spot)

For all the spoiler talk, I saw that creature towards the east side of the map, just above a deep ridge. I was riding alongside the mountains when I saw it in the distance. Beautiful, really. Almost like it could exist in real life. It veered down into the abyss, and the nearby NPCs at a ranch told me about the

'Leviathan'

I have to assume that's what it was.

This game just keeps on giving.

 

[Coffinhal]

Rockstar is going to delay RDR2 because of what they'll see in this game, they'll need to adjust lol.

I especially love the horse riding, works very well, it feels like it's your real Partner and you can't use it as your next Boko Spear, you have to take care of it.

Anyway this OT is full of spoilers, I'm outta here.

Well, I apologize, but I didn't know it was a big reveal because I saw one at the start of the game in the newbie area and thought it was something everyone saw at the start of the game in the newbie area. I just spent an hour looking for this one and was relieved and giffed it. The idea that it'd be upsetting never crossed my mind.

<- Mission spoilers

I fought my first one at the bottom of the coliseum last night. I figured I could toss some bombs at it while I picked off the mob on the above ledges. I managed to hit him only one time before he shot an arrow upward in a perfect arc, so that on its way back down it landed on my head. I don't think I've ever seen something like that in any game before. I wonder if it's the AI actually calculating the arc of the arrow or if there are some shenanigans going on behind the scenes to make it appear this way. Whatever is happening, these guys are dangerous.

I tried to tackle him a second time and he chased me down and

roasted me with fire breath,

which made me a little incredulous to be honest.

Fair enough. And yeah, that one if a fucking pain in the ass to get. It's one thing that it seems to spawn a lot less than the others, but also it's at a terribly awkward place where you're either waaaaaaaay too low or above it but too far away to run/horse ride/jump off/glide/shoot.

I only got

two pieces, the legs and body part. Didn't even know there was a helmet lol I only enter and bought the first piece...notice for the whole searching for Yonobo (or close to that) part I was getting burn still. Flame level was 1, read sign that mention lv two stars...so went to buy the legs and that work. But still is almost 1,200 rupees in total for those two and I had spend all my money already on my house!!! Took a lot to gather those 3,000 first...it pain me having to sell my diamonds! Lucky I found and area with luminious rocks so I can get diamonds again easily now!

Wii U version needs another patch.

Maybe because they are "bananas" for killing travelers.

I don't actually believe this.

So from my understanding this game does not use scaling for enemies, or at least general enemies. What about mini bosses? Dungeon bosses?

He likes to travel around the world. He will give you differwnt hints in each town/ranch you meet him.
