If you have a huge collection of amiibo you can get so much meat to sell holy crap.
Meat skewer from raw meat x5 sells for 120 rupees. Skewer from prime meat x5 sells for 210. Skewer from gourmet meat x5 sells for 490. Pretty easy to farm for meats if you know where to look too.

Skyward Sword Beedle is best Beedle. BoTW Beedle has more personality than WW though.
Doesn't say "THAAAAAAANK YOU" in BotW, 0/10

Someone back at launch bet me that the zelda thread wouldn't outpace horizon for some reason, yet here we are.
That's five bucks in my pocket.

I have over 60 currently and still have 15 to get. They better let me use these in hard mode.
Also the Wii U expansion pass continues to be missing from the Eshop though it's still available to be purchased from stores.

Did you guys know that if you kill an animal with your ice sword it'll drop frozen meat?
Also you can drop blue chu jelly on the ground and hit them with blizzard rod to make ice chu jelly.

That's what he's missing! I couldn't figure out what was off.
I like the Saaaaah Saaaah sound tho.

Love this one. Fittingly heard this for the first time in the
Lost Woods.
If you kill em with a fire sword you'll get grilled meat.

These 'dungeons'... Just finished the north-west one.
Possibly the weakest in the series. And the boss, I didn't even have a strategy beyond
.
I'm kinda over exploring, I already know its going to be a korok at the top of mountains and that the chests will contain nothing I can't find elsewhere.
Still think it's an awesome game, but it's a very Ubisoft Zelda for me. I literally got the tower, went to the village, went to the dungeon for that area.

float up to him and mash attack

Should finish this up tonight or sometime tomorrow. So yeah this will definitely go down as one my 5 favorite games of this decade and favorites of all time. It's strange though for a game that I like this much I already know that I'm not going to want to revisit it for quite a long time. This is obviously due to the open world nature and sheer size of the game itself but I also think that not wanting to revisit it for a long time is a huge compliment as well. Like rarely does a game satisfy me this completely on it's first play through and leave me not asking or really wanting any more from it. That's also not to say that I didn't find any flaws and things that could have obviously be improved but they were all minuscule when looking at the totality of the package. There are a bunch of shrines, koroks, side quests, hidden nooks in the landscape etc, etc, etc, I will have missed but I don't really care because it gave me a really incredible and memorable gaming experience.
Are you sure you're taking everything metal off? Weapons, shields, and bows can be metal too.

Maybe your bow is metallic

Weapon, shield and bow? Just unequipped, not dropped. First time I started sparking I dropped all of my inventory.

Remove your metal weapons and shield too.

4/4 beasts done, think I'll finish the main quest this weekend. I'm at 61 shrines, still have a lot of open shrine/sidequests. There are so SO many and I'm sure I haven't even activated all of them.
The weapon connoisseur quest just won't end. I have to find a windcleaver now.
I had no idea they gave you that much for it, thanks. I need to sell more stuff because late game everything is so expensive. I'm going to do snowball bowling for a while but that'll get tedious.
What animal has gourmet meat btw? I still need that for a sidequest.

Yeah I feel the same, lack of dungeons is huge. I love most everything, I want this gameplay for all future zelda games but I feel it's really lacking the level design and puzzle and action mix of past games. Here puzzles feel like "puzzle time" while in past zelda games it was just a constant mix of everything.

Been watching Brad, from Giant Bomb, play Breath of the Wild for the last hour or so and have come away very impressed. Can't wait to get a Switch and play it!
Well their, uh, services get more... generous. I guess you get what you pay for...
The Japanese voice acting is pretty good.

I'm only a few hours in, but I was so pleasantly surprised to discover that some weapons can act as boomerangs when thrown.
Wolves and Coyotes are the most common ones.
Judging by his reactions I think Link regrets the purchase.
Those ladies definitely seem like a lot to handle.
That Lv. 4 upgrade cutscene ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Agreed. The shrines are fun, the main dungeons are really fantastic conceptually and the two I've did were majestic in design but I haven't really did anything that gives me that same feeling as traditional dungeons. A big open world game like this but with intricate dungeons worked into it would be so amazing. Aonuma said that he thinks this can be topped, and that's certainly one way it could be.

I love the (slight enemy spoiler)
people you see roaming around that act like they're hurt or lost, but after talking to them they're revealed to be Yiga Clan and attack you. That's some Witcher 3 shit right there!
yep but i think the simple feeling of adventure in this game just blow that out of water
Even there is no dungeon People can still play this for 50hours can you image that before Botw

Dungeons have always been a central draw for me in Zelda games, it's a big reason why I'm a huge fan of the series. And if I'm being honest, I think the world is probably too big and the effort that went into all those shrines I think could have been focused down into a smaller number of complex dungeons with layers, enemies, mini-bosses, and better dungeon endboss variety. I just feel that it's lacking in those ways, but it's still absolutely fantastic in most others.

Four more shrines to go!
So close...

Those things scared me the first time
This game is partially a horror game you don't know what's gonna kill you sometimes im navigating like I have no health or weapons.
Thanks. Time to go wolf huntin.
Btw the shrines in the Gerudo region are some of the best yet. Definitely play those if you still need to explore that region. I think the 'two bombs' shrine is one of my favorites so far. Loved the final puzzle there. There's also a cool one involving electricity and conduits.
Approaching the end of the game, and trying to decide whether to grind out a few things:
Don't love farming/grinding, so I'm getting burnt out. Weirdly, the completionist aspect of Wind Waker never bothered me, but I'm finding this tedious.
I'm at 92 shrines. I've read there are 120? I'm getting bored of running around trying to find them. Might give up on the shrines. At the very least I'll start relying on an online map.
I have the three Ancient Armor pieces and am deciding whether to upgrade them. That'd require a ton of ancient parts, which means farming guardians... and it requires 10,000 rupees for the fourth fairy, which means farming gourmet meat.

Yeah, I hope they build a new Zelda game directly off of the systems and design of this game, but with traditional dungeons in addition to mini dungeons like the shrines.
I'd love if they did something kinda like they did with Majora's Mask, take the engine and assets and build a new game in a shorter amount of time. 2-3 years for a game with a world about half the size with 8 traditional dungeons sounds about right to me.
I just got to exploring Gerudo Desert and I have to agree so far, the two I've done have been my favorite two.
Speaking of Gerudo Desert, Gerudo Town is hilarious. This game will never be toppe-
Actually, yeah, that'd probably do it.

I'm more than fine with this games lack of dungeon business, it'd be pretty unrealistic to expect a full swathe of dungeons alongside the massive world of Hyrule and all the things that make BotW what it is.
Hoping that we get a Majora's Mask style successor reusing those assets to create a smaller scoped title (in world size anyway) that can ramp up the dungeon stuff to create a title to compliment BotW.
I probably still prefer OoT because dungeons and what not but it's really not that big a deal here for me, it's not like I don't have an entire series worth of Zelda titles filled to the brim with dungeons.

The beauty of this Zelda series is it always draw diversity, I totally understand it
I just want to share my opinion, my favorite Zelda before is WW(a lot of people think it's the weakest 3D Zelda) but the adventure feeling is so strong
When I play TP the dungeons it feels too long to enjoy for me.
