Yep, I can see the edge of it its melting slowly though and I don't want to use fire arrows lol

Light a fire and use a wooden tool like a club or torch.

 

[DarkKyo]

Go into the option and turn amiibo functionality on.

Wow, thanks!

Hmm.. The amiibo still seems to do nothing, though.

Yeah I hit with my Great Flameblade to melt it faster.

 

[Anustart]

Ok, so probably a dumb thing. But what the hell am I supposed to do on the great plateau? I've been wandering around this place for 2 hours and all I've found is a couple chests and korok seeds. I've seemingly been everywhere except where theres snow.

 

[CharminUltra]

Do it. BOTW is amazing and you can take that amazing with you.

Amazingness to-go :O

Perfect! Thanks!

 

[Kouriozan]

I defeated the final boss 10-15 hours of playtime ago, and I'm still getting surprised by what the game offer.
Had a lot of "wow" moment, for example I just saw this when finishing a shrine :

Just beautiful...

Do you not have your paraglider yet?

The old man tells you to go to 4 places, that you mark when you go up the tower. Go to those places.

Do you not have your paraglider yet?

He won't have it if he never went to the 4 places the old man speaks about.

 

[Anustart]

Do you not have your paraglider yet?

Nope. Cannot find anyway to progress or get a glider.

My feeling of idiocy is compounded by the fact my 6 year old boy was able to get this huge tower to come out of the ground but I can't even find that lol.

 

[Anteo]

Im debating whether to buy a Switch with Zelda or not, my last console from Nintendo was Gamecube, all the threads and comments about the game changed my mind about getting one, money is not a problem right now, i am just afraid to spend money on something i will get bored eventually, is it really worth the game console just for Zelda, btw i loved OOT and Majoras when i was a child.

It all depends if you want to play it right now or you can wait. Later this year morw games will be avalible so it would be easiwr to tell if its worrh it.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Any hints on what to do past the two torches in the

Lost Woods

?

 

[what-ok]

Is it supposed to be designed that badly? Those Wizzrobes cant even detect you when on ground level, or was my encounter just wonky.

They were on me quick since I dropped in from above.

 

[Spauldingxx]

I asked this before but didn't get a response, how do you turn on the voice acting. I'm about 10 hours in and haven't seen a cut scene with voice acting, only text.

I just watch a YouTube video of a Zora memory that had voice acting and my WiiU copy did not.

Is it switch only?

 

[LotusHD]

Nope. Cannot find anyway to progress or get a glider.

Go to the four shrines then. Use your map.

 

[cackhyena]

Old Zelda dungeons, well made as certain ones were, made me never wanna replay the game again. This is exactly how I prefer it.

 

[jahepi]

Are you literally not interested in anything else in the Switch's lineup? Do you not have another console on which to play games with?

At the end of the day, you said money's not an issue, so it's up to you.

I play mostly on PC, my xbox360 is collecting dust, i don't know any of the upcoming games from Nintendo.

Have you even opened the tower?

I read that for some reason it wont work with surround sound.

Does anyone know how often does the meteorite fall, as I need 3 of the meteor items to upgrade my tunic.

There's an audio issue where you can't hear some dialogue unless you switch your Wii U's audio setting to stereo.

It wasn't the same cutscene then. The game had voice acting but very limited. These are proper cutscenes in traditional sense and they are voiced, everything else isn't.

Edit: Don't know anything about the bug.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Does anyone know how often does the meteorite fall, as I need 3 of the meteor items to upgrade my tunic.

Once every few days, to my own experience.

 

[ryan-ts]

Go to the four shrines then. Use your map.

Just to add on to this... If you can't see the markers, go to your adventure log (hit the plus button) and select the old man's quest. It should pull up the markers if they're not already on your map.

 

[LotusHD]

I play mostly on PC, my xbox360 is collecting dust, i don't know any of the upcoming games from Nintendo.

Well check out their lineup, see if anything interests you. Stuff like Arms, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, etc. For me personally, even if I didn't have any interest in some of their other games this year, I have a PS4 with other upcoming games to play, so I don't really care if my Switch catches dust for a little bit. The joy of having multiple gaming consoles. If you feel similarly about your PC, then maybe go for it after all.

 

[IrishNinja]

okay i know i should pay more attention to tutorial stuff

but how do you get your map to look for the pics from link's past? i swear i unlocked this ability at the tech house (it's now a waypoint) but if i select anything other than shrines it just goes to my regular photo album which doesn't have the older shots

All over the place. Mostly in the names of locations, but also in a few lines of dialogue in the memories.

Memory pictures are on the first page of all photos. You open up the map, and hit R and then they should be all the way on the left.

I found places from

Link's Awakening and Phantom Hourglass

if that gives you any idea of how all over the place the references are in this game.

 

[Anustart]

How? The old man literally just tells you he'll give you the paraglider if you do what he says i.e. go to those places.

Sadly the old man didn't tell me anything of the sort by his little camp fire. When I talk to him now he just talks about apples.

Yeah I get that. Sorry I posted that without editing, I mean people are saying there is specific references to the child timeline made by Zelda? I can't see where they are.

 

[Spauldingxx]

No surround sound, plugged directly into TV. My only other thought was that I heard there is a day one update. I don't have my WiiU connected to the Internet so maybe it's only activated with the update?

He will if you climb the tower

Should I just sell amber/topaz/ruby/diamond?

I sold a whole bunch in order to afford

, and just last night I found another use. I almost still had enough for the new thing, but not quite (not enough sapphires). I saw another use mentioned earlier, too.

So maybe don't, if you don't need the money.

 

[mstevens]

Does anyone know of a good area to farm blue chu chus? I need them for a couple armor upgrades.

 

[PillarEN]

The hole in one driver shrine: first hole "my aim needed a little of work but no problem after a few tries"
Second hole "... how is that not a hole in one?!?!?!?!?! If I smack it less it won't reach"

But seriously. Is it something with having to have pinpoint aim or do you just need Lady Luck on your side?

 

[LegendofLex]

The place you need to go is marked on your map. At some point I'm guessing Mysterious Female Voice told you to look at your map. Maybe you haven't seen that yet or forgot about it.

 

[Spauldingxx]

There's an audio issue where you can't hear some dialogue unless you switch your Wii U's audio setting to stereo.

Omg thank you!!!! I had it on my surround sound previously and now on my other TV without it. Kudos to you.

At the start of the game a voice tells you to go to the point marked on map. Did you go there?

It should unlock a

tower where you download the map. After that the old man will glide to you

god damn these Koraks.

I can't bring up the tv menu for brightness or anything :S

I had a Lizalfo yesterday trying to light up his mace on a fire camp... and he ended up burning himself to death in the process.
