I don't think so.
Oh, so I saw it mentioned that the credits music was also in a trailer. It features a prominent cut in the music near the end, which sounded terrible, like a mistake. Can anyone explain that? Was it intentional? It was right at the very end of the credits, too, IIRC, so it was particularly strange that it still sounded like that.
Finally maxed out the slots for melee weapons. Only took over 200 seeds. Now I guess I can stop worrying about them because bows take forever to chew through and I still haven't broken my

Still, going through unexplored areas and finding the little puzzles is really fun.

Strange I haven't broken my Hylian shield either. I must have deflected over 100 guardian lasers off of it too.

Wish Iwata had been around to see everyone being blown away by this game 
It's not that hard, intimidating at first? yeah.
you can set the voices to japanese?
With japanese ingame text.
On the Switch version, yeah, not sure about Wii U. Set the system language to whatever you want and voila.you can set the voices to japanese?
Wii u is region locked. So it only works with languages supported in that region.

Yeah, I'm doing a 100% run and never touching it again outside of the DLC. There just isn't anything in the core worth going back to for me. I took the same approach with Xenoblade X and MGSV but at least MGSV had MGO and the FOB stuff to continue playing around with.
I wanted to use him but he disappeared when I entered a shrine so I figured it just wasn't worth the trouble. I might start using him if I choose to start farming materials.
Finished up the
fight last night, and holy shit, was that frustrating, hah.
The fight itself is pretty simple, perfect dodge, rinse repeat. But, why does Link lose lock-on every fucking time? Half the fight, was me thinking I would flip backward, only to have Link turn around and get fucked up because he wasn't locked on. It was maddening! Not to mention the 2nd phase of the fight
is a pain in the ass, not because it's hard, but because controlling that shit is fucking awful.
I love the game, but man, the controls can be soooo shit at times.

the distance on the lock-on is bad and it seems to only lock on to stuff in view of the camera. I personally hated it and how awful the camera gets when in close to bigger enemies.

Bowling doesn't really need getting good at. If you drop the snowball right behind the bowling guy so that it slowly goes around him on his left side, it will be a strike 80% of the time. I think, aside from being a fortunate angle, this is also because it collects more snow before rolling down, so it becomes bigger and faster.
What the fuck.

My first Lynel experience did not end well, and that was out in the wild. At first I did my normal routine, which is to gear up with my heaviest/most protective armor, equip a good weapon, then make sure I have whatever arrow I want to go in with.
Ass handed to me. But I was at like 6 hearts, and up until then had only faced bobkins and the other big lumbering beasts. I hadn't even seen a Lizalfos yet

I got lucky and found Macarena Tree man the second time. I could tell you approximately where?
Near one of the stables, west of Zora's entrance.
I've logged more than 40 hours so far and have yet to travel in the northern regions. The map is so darn big. But like you, I am lving every minute of it.

I'm curious about the Wii U season pass bonuses: does it give you a Wii U shirt or the same Switch one?

Lynels are easy if you have good aim and know the "trick".
Headshot to stun them, mount them, attack rapidly, repeat. If you're fast you can avoid getting attacked completely.
(the Gerudo Divine Beast gift) is quite useful as well.
Bonus tip - these are viewable on the map, so you can try and scan around for them.

Urbosa's Fury
I knew those were Korok seeds from the very first time I saw one, but I didn't quite "get" it, so I've been marking them and leaving them. Guess I was on the right track.

Took down my first flying Guardian today. All it took was me making a shelter with two boulders and a sheet of metal and sniping the bastard with one ancient arrow, three bomb arrows, seven fire arrows, five electric arrows, and a hell of a lot of regular arrows.
Also slapped it with a metal crate a few times for good measure

Just finished, most disappointing thing about the game
No big credits theme like all other 3D Zeldas

One ancient arrow to the eye will usually do the trick
Man, the beginning sequence in the Great Plateau is still really enchanting the second time through. I still find myself curious and excited about each discovery, even if they're more familiar now. Like, cool, my first spear! My first fish! It's been a blast.
Cooking food to get the warm tunic felt like such a pain in the ass in my first play through, but this time I already had all the necessary ingredients before the time came, haha. I guess BOTW finally got me to accept the tediousness of crafting systems. Not sure if I should be thankful or not though, haha.

Just watched the making of videos. Is it me or does the director Fujibayshi look like Link?

Walking out of the cave and seeing the world for the first time was really great even if I had already seen that scene before.

My highlight so far. The music, even though super simple, is incredible. And the reward after crossing it was amazing, of course.
65 hours in and I just started my second dungeon. This game is going to last me!

The understated score is used so perfectly in this game, and the Lost Woods music is definitely a great example of it.

I actually just popped in here to post this magnificence again.
Working on a resume with the soundtrack playing from Youtube, and this one started and I'm like holy shit all over again, what a fantastic track.
I wish it was for sale somewhere. It's my favorite soundtrack in years.

Vah Ruta was my favorite dungeon track I think, need to listen to the others again. I was in this dungeon for the longest duration IIRC and maybe that's why the music stuck with me more, but it is brilliant.

Jesus Christ haha.
It was creepy as heck (in a well done way).
Could've been its own game.
Retro horror game when.
Pretty certain that someone is working on extracting this music using CEMU and the Wii U copy.

Played for over 155 hours, like 86 Korok seeds

Unfortunately, no. One of the game's few flaws, besides not being able to repair or maintain weapons.

Its some of the most fun I've had with the game. The Koroks are often in areas the devs clearly wanted you to see but you might miss if you don't explore every nook and crany
I've put in 100+ hours and have found 142 so far. Getting them all is straight up unfathomable to me. But zero judgement, I think it's awesome that you're going for it and having fun with it!
There's no such thing!
Has anyone figured out what determines when a shop will restock an item? Sometimes it seems like months of ingame time will pass before I can buy another set of arrows, while other things that I need less often come back almost immediately. It's not blood moons either.
If you meet him at the summit he'll give you the warm doublet just for showing up.

What I'm wondering is, will we be getting any notable title updates/QoL tweaks? Outside of potential bug fixes that is. Or will what's currently there be largely static?
