Though is "optional" there is a quest in Hateno that sends you there. It greatly helps for
fighting Guardians in the future since you get special arrows to fight them

Honestly though, you dont need to beat guardians to beat the game.


It's strange. I know a few places that I dont plan on going until Im like twice as strong as the strength needed to beat Ganon though.

I am completely in love with this game. No open world has even come close to getting me this hooked. I'm only ten hours in and I just got my first horse and rode to Kakariko village and man oh man, I just can't put (the amazing pro controller) down. I absolutely love the feeling that I am on my own personal adventure in a gorgeous world that just invites me to explore.

Wholly agree. Never had this much fun just exploring and doing side quests.
 
Man everyone talks about how crazy the Akkala Tower is meanwhile I just climbed up the side the unceremoniously. I mean it looked intimidating yeah but there's nothing actually threatening there. I had more trouble with the Central and Woodland Towers.
 
The Rito dungeon went by much faster than the Zora one. Maybe I clicked on the puzzles and control ability faster this time, but the lead-up to the dungeon seemed to be way less. I haven't even gotten the tower yet for the region. Still fun though.
 
Man, the
horse target shoorting
minigame will be a tough one for sure. I'm having trouble reaching 10 - let alone 20 for the price.

In all honesty: I'm using a save state for that. No way I'm wasting precious 20+ arrows over and over again lol

Comments from others make me think the motion controls are generally fine on the Wii U, but not the Switch. As noted I actually like motion controls. The entire issue with them here is that the motion of 3D geometry is not 1:1 to the positioning of the peripheral, so something as simple as rotating the right joycon a very specific distance and direction does not consistently match with up with the object orientation on screen. It makes the act of interacting with the 3D space using motion controls incredibly frustrating and unsatisfying, as the feedback is not in synchronicity with the input.

This is either due to poor motion control programming for the Switch build relative to the actual peripheral hardware (potentially rushed code straight from the Wii U), or the Switch motion control is actually worse and less accurate than the Wii U / Wiimote M+.

I had absolutely zero problems with the motion controls on Switch (and handheld mode) for both aiming and puzzles. It felt incredibly precise to me. No idea what you're talking about.

I got to admit, as much as I hate the blood moon glitch there's one big upside to it...those cooking effects. I can throw a single Maxi-whatever into a pot and get a full heal with +3 hearts out of it o.O

Wait, you get cooking benefits while cooking during the blood moon?
 
Loks like i'll never be 100% this game, one of the korok balloon shooting sections isn't loading, exact area is

duelling peaks region around Batrea lake there is a stump with a pinwheel on. I stand on it, I stand by it etc and no balloons :/

You don't have to beat anything in this game in all honesty outside of dungeon bosses :P But it makes it easier in some paths (specially for when you are fighting a guardian seeker).

Creamium said:
Hmm haven't gotten that one yet I think. What's it called?
Click to expand...

I can't recall the name of the quest (if that is what you mean).
Is giving in Hatano once you visit the tech analizer building there. She mentions having a brother and he is all the way over in akhala region near one of the stables there (north one I believe)
 
This game is just magical. I was cynical going in, feeling like Zelda games are always reviewing higher than they ought to... but BotW has that special something. I don't know how long this feeling will last, but it's been ages since an open world video game has had this effect on me.

Oh, and I have died a few times in the opening hours since escaping the plateau, and I DON'T CARE! After the ridiculously easy A Link Between Worlds on 3DS (where I borrowed all of the items and didn't come close to dying for much of it), this is a glorious feeling.

I saw one too and yeah, I assume so. They show up in the compendium after the Stal- so I guess if there is a gap there there is one for that race.

seems to me monster level scale with story progress because i now see a lot of them and for all kind of monster

also the red lynel in the amphitheatre is now argent there ..

Right now I get two bloodmoons per night on average.

It gets progressively worse if you leave it. Restarting the Switch seems to fix it. Seems like a memory leak or something.

The guide says the more of a monster you kill, the more of a stronger class of that monster you will see.

So if you keep killing bokoblins you will eventually start to see silver ones
 
I just ordered the strategy guide yesterday. First time I've bought a guide in a long time. I'm only gonna use it on my first time playthrough if I absolutely have to. Once I beat it though, it's coming wide open.

The only thing I've gotten stuck on so far was the
first shrine of the twin shrines
. I had to look it up after struggling for a while.
 
quick question about hyrule castle, will i trigger some cutscene or whatever if i get too close? i want to explore some things in that vicinity, but i don't want to trigger any scenes before doing other main story stuff first. more specifically, i want to search for the area for the
lost memories
quest

I think the items you get from treasure chests also scale. I don't think you usally get a sword with 57 attack and a +15 attack mod in the Goron Village shrine.

Nah, go for it. If you see the words 'Sanctum' pop up, don't enter the castle at that point - that's the point of no return. It's right near the top, though.

I'm not really sure. I did a few shrines around Kakariko last night and they all had loot appropriate for when you'd generally go there, instead of loot closer to where I currently am. I got a 13 power spear in a chest in a shrine, while I was carrying a 50 power sword, with 13 hearts and 2 stamina, plus two Divine Beasts tamed and have been playing close to 20 hours.
 
In the Great Plateau i came across this big creature that formed out of and started throwing big rocks at me. I'm guessing it's an enemy you're supposed to avoid until later in the game?
 
Kain-Nosgoth said:
even if you don't do the dungeon, go at least in the area to activate them, you'll get some usefull stuff that let you explore the world more easily!
especially the zora one
Click to expand...

Going to areas to trigger story events but not finishing is how I explored the world... and mainly because I was hugely invested in a certain side quest that required me to find characters from different regions. Still one of my favorite parts of the game so far.

I went most of the way through the castle after leaving the plateau. There is a short scene or two that happen, but nothing significant. Just imposing sights.

You can beat him right away. He's not too hard once you know the tactic.
 
RichiRamjag said:
Killed him early on. They're fairly easy imo.

Oddly enough, I just ran into my first one after some 40-odd hours with the game, two dungeons down, 40+ shrines,
master sword
in tow. Somehow hadn't even seen one before that.

Oh man, the music when I entered
Rito village
. I got shivers. What a beautiful rendition.
Click to expand...

Oh yeah, as someone whose favorite game ever is Wind Waker, that shit hit me hard. Probably my favorite piece in the score so far.

You can kill it right now if you want, it'll just be tough as it'll probably cost most of your weapons and it will 1 hit you.

Huh makes sense why the red Bokoblins are rare now for me. Selling 200 boko fangs should have given me a hint on that lol.
 
Branduil said:
Man, getting to the top of the
Akkala
tower sure was an experience. Wasn't exactly sure how I was supposed to get on it... I ended up
climbing on the ruined archway while carefully avoiding the malice and paragliding onto the tower.
Click to expand...

I popped the best +heart food I had and literally brut force climbed through it lol. Only had 4 hearts so I definitely needed it.

Lmao, Divine Beast Vah Ruta, wut. Guess it's time to look at a walkthrough :(
Click to expand...
Step away if you have to. Don't use a walk through! You'll see stuff you didn't see before. I'm pretty sure I didn't get the hardest chest in there the way you're supposed to, but the only idea I had worked.

Not all pinwheels result in balloons. Look carefully at your sorroundings. I found one that had acorns being thrown just slightly above a ridge.
