Yes. Don't sell any.
Yes. They are extremely helpful.
They upgrade your Slate, but also provide you with equipment that makes taking on Guardians actually doable.
Helpful tip from me, you don't even need to chop them down. Just bomb them so you don't waste a weapon slot for an axe.
Just put a few hours into this game again tonight. I've really not long left the Grand Plateau, I have a horse and I'm slowly but surely making my way on my first main mission I was given... doing lots of off the beaten path exploring and wow, this game...
It must be, easily, the most exquisitely pieced together game I've ever played. There's so much to see and to do, the pacing of enemy encounters is perfection, the sense of achievement and gaining reward every few minutes is just staggering. I'm honestly just amazed at how well put together this all is. Every gameplay mechanic is simple and they all merge together so nicely. Having a brief glance through this thread and it's clear I've not even begun in this game either. It just seems absolutely chock full of content and not just "here's a million waypoints directing you straight to some pointless collectible", but honest to god "I feel like I'm on a proper organic adventure" sort of content.
This is truly the RPG of my dreams. This is exactly what I've been after but no one has been giving me. No overly complex and abstract turn based fighting. No repetitive-to-the-point-of-insanity spawning enemies every 5 steps. No overly written Tolkien wannabe fanboy trash that goes on and on yet is as dull as dishwater. A world that geographically basically never repeats. Even the forested areas I've seen all have their own unique layout and feel to them. The whole map feels unique and not just something copy/pasted together just to fill up some space. It's all so meticulously designed.
I love for instance trying to climb a steep hill/mountain in the rain and not being able to do it, until I realise there's some places where I have just enough of a slope to rest and regain my stamina. I feel, for as simple as it is, that I've actually had to think about climbing this mountain to achieve my aim, size it up and make a plan of action. The game is just full of that, really rewarding common sense logical based puzzling, much of it environmentally so.
AHHH
I could keep going on but I'm just stunned. This is perhaps the first game in years, perhaps of my entire life, where putting the hours in is endlessly rewarding. I truly don't think I've been bored once, or if so for maybe 30 seconds and that was it. I'm guessing I've played maybe 10-15 hours so far which is more time than I spend with most games before giving up. This game has just begun for me.
The short and restrained music does just enough, the art design of course is just sublime (though please Nintendo patch out/reduce the amount of really light haze in the immediate foreground that does take away some of the saturation from the colour palette of the game). It's basically just enchanting. It's how I imagine other people have felt playing similar games in the past but where perhaps my expectations were too high to ever be satisfied and my imagination not creative enough to fill in the blanks. This meets my expectations. This is what gaming can be, and shows the levels it can reach, from pure gameplay alone.
What an achievement.

Ive done barely any studying.. its awful and i feel bad
Does anyone know what's up with the top right of the map?
There looks like a row of rock pillars that go off into the top right corner of the map but there's an invisible wall in front of the first pillar. It's odd because the other edges of the map are featureless except this corner. It's weird that they would bother to model a path to an invisible wall.

Serious question: Where is the best place to scan Amiibo? I can't think of any big enough place that's flat, normal temperature, no enemies, no NPC and really close to teleport point.
edit: forget another one: no grass.

Stables always have pretty big flat areas of land to scan on, if not I warp back to the Plateau and do it outside the "first" Shrine.

I'm constantly amazed by the attention to every last detail of this game. From the topography and environment to enemy placement. The complete array of dozens of systems coming perfectly together. Earlier I stopped at the bottom of a hill and just stopped looking ahead at rolling hills scattered all around me followed by mountain ranges. At practically any point I can stop and just look in awe of the world they created. Every inch of this world was carefully crafted. It's like a debut album from an artist who spent years working through concepts, sounds, lyrics and plotting out every second of how the world hears them for the first time.
put simply, it's a classic upon release

Outstanding. I have a ton of this stuff too.
Thanks for the swift replies.
On another note..
I'm sitting here falling asleep while playing. Stupid brain and body needing sleep.
I just made it to the first village mentioned in the game. (Forgot how to spell it) I guess this as good a place to call it a night.

I mean, I'm loving Horizon right now, but goddamn if you don't make me want to go out and purchase Zelda right now.
From what I've seen of the game the sense of adventure seems great. The verticality I've watched in videos is INSANE. The fact that you can climb anywhere is also really crazy to me.
Ah, too many good games dammit.

But... you are the reinforcements...
If you ever reached the

Keep collection wood because you'll need a lot more.
So I'm pretty sure I wasn't necessarily SUPPOSED to scale the volcano by making a mad dash for the Goron town and frantically going through all my health-restoring items every time Link's health got low while he burnt to a crisp, but hey, it worked anyway. Made a goddamn beeline for the clothing shop when I got there and sure enough, I could buy fireproof equipment there.
So now that I've done that, I'm curious, are there any other methods of getting up that volcano short of brute-forcing it like I did? I tried making heat-lowering food and equipping ice weapons, but that didn't do anything. Is there another way to get the fireproof clothing before the Goron town?

You can
buy fireproof elixirs from a vendor at the nearest stable. You can also make it but I think the ingredients are only in the area where you would need it. There's also a gathering quest on the way to Goron City where you can get the chest piece for "free" but again, it's in the area where would need the fireproof buff anyway.

Wow. This game.
I just saw my first memory. Then I walk a bit further down the road and I see these menacing eyes looking at me and this thing looks huge. Then it charges right towards me and shoots fucking ice at me. I died. I was not expecting that. Holy shit.
There's a stable in the area where a girl sitting by the cooking pot will sell you flameshield potions.

Stable guy letting me down
Cleared all the shrines. Had to use a guide to find the last half dozen or so. The reward for doing it is nice but
.
I also went back to (shrine clear spoiler)
I'm not grinding dragons forever to upgrade every piece lol
I also went back to (shrine clear spoiler)

When exactly do you press A to reflect guardian lasers? I've had mixed results parrying as the eye turns blue. Is there an exact moment to look out for?
On the Great Plateau east of the Temple of Time theres a ton of trees that you can easily get 50 or so piece of wood from.
They emit a bright light the moment they fire the laser, as soon as you see that light, hit A, and you should be fine.
It's easier using a sound cue IMO. Right before it's about to shoot the beeping ends with a *click* noise and a moment later you parry.
Open map and press Y.

Are you talking about the circular ring? Looked out for that and it doesn't work more often than it does
It depends on your distance from the guardian but the cues to look out for are when the pulsing red circles disappear and the laser starts to emerge from the eye.

Finally sat down and did a proper calibration on my TV for the switch. I can't believe how much better the game looks after properly calibrating my set. I thought the game looked good already but this stepped it up a notch. Still can't believe this is running on a 6 inch tablet.
I use sound cues for laser parry. The sound when the laser goes off is the moment I press A.

When you buy one of each monster masks just so you can avoid every monster.
Also, how do you equip different horse saddles and bridles?

Gyro works with Switch Pro Controller, but not with Wii U Pro.
Yeah. Well. That's a great write up. I feel the same.
Some stables have people (usually tending to horses) that can equip it for you.
Beat the game.
Wow, that was a wondrous experience. Thankfully, it's not done. Still have a lot more shit to do and discover before I sadly have no more of it left. I thought ALBTW was fantastic, only behind OOT and MM on my list, and now Wild is up there with them. Hell, with more thought, I might consider it my absolute favorite. Kudos to Nintendo. I haven't enjoyed any of Wii U's output save Bayonetta 2, and thought most of their Wii games were disappointments(yes, even Galaxy. I'm a weirdo). After the 2 DS games and Skyward Sword, I thought Zelda's glory days were over. Now I'm more than happy to have the love I once had for it back.
Excellent game. I can only say I liked Witcher 3 more this gen. But goddamn, it's close.
