Finally killed my first guardian tonight, feels good haha!

Regarding horses: What's the strength stat for?

One of the puzzles in the lizard dungeon seems quite poorly designed, in so much as it's very easy for the player to mess up the intended chain of events and unintentionally make it a lot harder for themselves.

Spoiler

To get in one of the rooms you need to light a torch by shooting the blue flame through an eye shaped hole in the door. The door then opens and you can shoot some vines to free a metal box. Pretty straightforward if done in that order.

However, it's possible to burn the vines and free the box first, by shooting a flame through the space in the metal grating. However, if you do this and then tilt the lizard, and then tilt it back again, the box gets stuck in front of the torch and never gets free again through tilting. Instead the player has to use magnesis to move the box out of the way to see the torch.

While that sounds reasonable enough, this got me stuck for about half an hour when I did it in that order. I didn't know there was a torch behind that door, nor did I know that a movable box was behind that door that shouldn't have been. I quit the game and took a break and when I reloaded my save all the vines in the dungeon had been restored, meaning the box wasn't blocking the eye in the door. I noticed very quickly the door looked different. Normally I put it into sleep mode so I got lucky that I actually quit the game on this occasion and it reset some thing. Otherwise I'd probably still be running around cluelessly.

It really doesn't feel like they should let you do things in that order, especially because the player can't see into those rooms properly to understand the chain of events that has occurred.

 

[Tidalwave]

Literally just started and I already can't believe that

Spoiler

Link is a frrrackin Cylon!

A what?

 

[Mediking]

any others have any self imposed rule or anything? like for me I never hunt any animals for meat except boar, occasionally.

I wasn't gonna kill any wolves until one had the balls to attack me so I decided that peace treaty was over.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

i just encountered this bitch

lmfao. i burned it all down

You could have done without calling her a bitch. Twice. Kind of egregious.

What's with these homies dissing my girl? What they gotta front?

 

[Travo]

This game has the absolute best battle music when you are fighting strong enemies

Hyrule Castle and all of the towns have amazing music.

 

[shaneskim]

Is there a new update (Wii U)? Just had a prompt to download one.

 

[Vecks]

I expected the

to live in some crazy place. It's a lot more normal-looking than I imagined.

That's excellent design lol.

I wish all the dungeons were as complex as the Camel

I am about to tackle the Rito Divine Beast.

Where can I get some warm clothes?

Regarding horses: What's the strength stat for?

I guess it determines the damage when you ride down enemies? That's just my guess though, I do not know it.

Rito Village

at the Rito village. It'll cost you though.

Only 3 hearts, only 3 stamina bars, no healing mid fight. The last one i bend depending on my mood, but it usually makes for a fun time.

i just encountered this bitch

lmfao. i burned it all down

She only got mad at me once, so I had no problems with her. But I watched a friend of my fuck up and step on her flowers like three times and she flipped haha. Beat his ass up.

 

[TheProphet]

holy shit guys! its a lightning horse!

i actually burned her flowers with my flame sword. thats why she got mad. but yeah, i legit got scared when it happened. i thought she was going to transform

Can you spoil me where this girl is gonna bomb that whole flower patch with my meteor fire rod.

 

[KarmaCow]

Is there anything worthwhile in the divine beasts? I'm starting to clear them now and it seems that

Spoiler

you can't return them after completing it. There doesn't seem to be an indicator saying I'd you got all the chests either.

 

[Vecks]

I recently did some shrine that had to do with

Spoiler

a giant ball you can't reach, being bounced up and down periodically on a pillar coming out of the ground

What is the intended way of doing it? I ended up

Spoiler

using magnesis on the treasure chest above and using it to knock the ball out of place. But it feels all wrong.

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

Yeah I heard my friends about her, hahaha. But where can I find her?

Also in Hateno Village I've decided to light every lantern with the blue fire and I don't think I've missed any. I sure did expect a Korok or something. Is there one and have I missed a lantern or is there nothing to doing this?

 

[2Smashed4U]

Link's default Smash costume on Switch should be the blue champion outfit with ancient arrows as a weapon.

Most definitely. And with remote bombs and etc.

I hope they expand on custom moves in Smash 5 so they're actually unique. Link having Stasis and things like that as specials would be sweet.

What would be the best BOTW Smash stage?

I froze the ball in the air and shot it with a few arrows.

There's a purpose for this. Go to the lab in Hateno.

Ah, okay. I didn't think arrows were strong enough for that.

 

[Travo]

Ah, okay. I didn't think arrows were strong enough for that.

I think it's cool that there are multiple solutions.

 

[lt519]

Not sure how you were actually supposed to beat Ganon's

Spoiler

second to last phase

but I just

Spoiler

used the Gerudo special to remove that shield he had.

Hyrule Castle was awesome can't wait to go back and explore it more fully. More on the final fight.

Spoiler

Final fight was a bit meh because they cut his health in half automatically. I also had a really awful horse so it made things more difficult than it should have been at the end.

 

[leng jai]

Anyone not realise they weren't wearing pants the entire time until they got their first new piece of armour?

 

[Plum]

So should I just buy the

Snowquill

outfit or can I get it from shrines in the area? Got above 3,000 rupees so I have a choice between that and the

house

.

 

[CharminUltra]

Did Zelda get another 10?

Spoiler

I found her this afternoon. I tried to be nice and only stepped on the flowers once :|

 

[victreeb3l]

Climbing the akkala tower and it starts to rain. Fucking hell the worst possible time too.

 

[Thud]

I know I keep asking, but does anybody know how to reobtain the Forest Dweller items you get from that particular trial? Every item has had a way to reobtain it, even one-off items meant for a quest, but this one isn't apparent and I really want them again.

I found a piece in one of the shrines. Can't remember which one sorry...

 

[jviggy43]

I was just irritated that I felw down almost on top of the shrine, and touched her flowers (unbeknownst to me that she was even there) and she freaked out and it made me have to walk all the way around. Thats when I started messing with her flowers lol. Woman is crazy.

Hateno Village or Hyrule Castle/Front Hyrule castle with Guardians in the back ground that sometimes shoot on the stage (this should be toggleable in stage options)

Hateno one should have NPC's in background.

 

[btkadams]

Currently climbing in that same area and running into the same thing. I really hate the rain in this game.

 

[jb1234]

Haha, I'm trying to do the same thing (but different tower). Worse, I waited out the rain and now it's a thunderstorm! Not a fan of the weather system in this game.

 

[Firemind]

Oh for fuck's sake. I retrieve your precious Thunder Helm and you still throw me out! That's sexist!

 

[mindatlarge]

I need help finding the korok seeds guy

Spoiler

His next place of residence is by the Riverside Stable in the Hyrule Field area, directly west from Kakariko Village. As you pass the stable and follow the road to the northeast, you’ll see him next to a tree by the road.

 

[KayMote]

Oh man, does anybody else hate to end your gaming session with only 3 shrine orbs? Seems so satisfying to get another reward just before you turn of the game.

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

There's a purpose for this. Go to the lab in Hateno.

No I've had all of that. I mean every single lantern in the village. That is not needed for them.

 

[KLoWn]

Oh for fuck's sake. I retrieve your precious Thunder Helm and you still throw me out! That's sexist!

Yeah about this shit. Does anyone know if there is a way to gain access to the Gerudo town without having to dress up?

 

[victreeb3l]

Its so annoying considering this towers specific obstacles.

Haha, I'm trying to do the same thing (but different tower). Worse, I waited out the rain and now it's a thunderstorm! Not a fan of the weather system in this game.

Faron was the worst. It was thunderstorms for days with annoying wizzrobes at the base. Went through so many elixers man.

 

[Thud]

I changed in front of Raiju and Gerudos were not amused.

Half the town knows I'm a voe.

I only do the shrines for the chests now, trying to find​ the climbing pants.

 

[Mediking]

Was exploring around the Gerudo... fight off a wave of enemies.... tried to pick up their loot... more enemies came because it slipped into evening and I got beat up. I rage quitted and turned the game off. Lol

 

[Revven]

Hahaha that's horrible. It rained for me there but luckily I wasn't climbing anything and I believe I made use of the cook pot that was around there to skip past the bad weather (and cook additional meals just in case).

That tower was definitely the second hardest for me to get up.

What monster drops got you mad enough to turn the game off?

That would be cool. A mountain stage would also be cool given the emphasis on climbing in this game, I think they're a pretty standout landmark. Maybe Mt. Lanayru?
