Really good video by Writing on Games about the game's empty spaces and open world design. He explains it so much better than I possibly could why I love the game's design.

Nice video, and thanks to you I discovered my new subscription, the video he did on Yakuza was also pretty awesome and meticulous.

btw. I'm legit shocked at how many amazing details this game has: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVPXKdSEGNQ

It's a silly comparison video with Horizon, but that's beside my point, when I saw how physics work or how nice everything just MAKES SENSE I was really blown away. I need to get this game ASAP.

Anybody has video exclusively focused on details like that? I love it when devs put work into stuff like this, really makes me appreciate the game more.
 
God

I've been gaming for many, many years - I don't think I've felt this sense of adventure since OoT- and I'm in my 30's now

Hopped on to "do one quick shrine" - next thing I know it's 2am and I realize I need to get my shit together and go to sleep

I thought Witcher 3's world felt alive, but the authenticity of this one blows it out of the water - despite the technical limitations

Nice, thanks. I guess word is spreading because people are buying them up fast. Price on both went up ten dollars between our posts.

Luckily I just found out a friend has Toon Link so I guess I'm going to his place every day now, lol.

Pro tip: You can save scum for getting the drop you want from an amiibo.
 
Has anyone found the shrine in the north west corner at the marker
Hebra Great Skeleton
? I'm in the area right now and the shrine sensor is going crazy but i can't find it, is it side quest/shrine quest related?
 
I'm having serious issues putting this game down. I've been playing more or less nonstop since Thursday at midnight and I still have 3-4 map sections to unlock, and only 52 shrines in...

This is going to keep me busy for a long, long time.

By the way, anyone having issues with the
lost Zora wife
side quest? I feel like I've looked everywhere! I even spent several hours following the entire river downstream to lake Hylia, going on a bunch of little adventures along the way. Which was actually a really cool use of my time!

It seems you didn't look far enough. Small hint:
She's very close to a shrine.

I haven't seen the video fully but it's an unfair comparison since it tries to compare what Zelda does that Horizon doesn't. There are lots of things Horizon does that Zelda doesn't as well.

Also for the very first one, trees do break in Horizon, it's just that you can break them with spear, it's a spear not an axe. If a big robot bumps into a tree the tree breaks.

Btw when it comes to the environment. Interactivity Farcry 2 and Crysis would be more apt comparisons with Zelda as a lot of what you see in Zelda were originally pioneered in those two games.
 
I have a question related to the
mipha's grace
item you get for completing the first dungeon.
How long is the recharge time? The first time it was used the timer was 8 minutes, yet the second it was 30 minutes. Does it continue to get longer with each use???
 
Wow im an idiot. So im busy going for my first divine beast
elephant
. Little did i realise i could break ice blocks with cyonis! So i depleted my shock arrow stock basically destryong all of these ice blocks and gaining entrance. Finally clicked when i was fighting
waterblight ganon
that i could use this ability to break those ice blocks. Fight would have been much easier otherwise. Ha!
 
Took the bus into work this morning and played for about 30 mins. Very cool. However, now all that I want to do is play more and it's tempting with the Switch sitting on my desk haha. Also, this game is going to take me forever to beat. I've been on my way from the Great Plateau to Kakariko village since Sunday. Still haven't made it there yet. There's just so much to see and explore. I won't be surprised if I end up putting 100+ hours into this before beating it. Crazy!

30 minutes is the set rate.

It is also the longest cooldown out of nearly everything else in the game.

1. You can get a better horse than Epona.
2. You can tame wolf (but other details was share beyond that)

Not being able to get Epona and making her amiibo exclusive is shitty though, she's a staple of the series.

As to being able to tame wolves, if there is a mechanic it's damn well hidden because wolves automatically attack me. They can't handle all of my link
 
After three hours, I finall found that bastard Hestu. Contrary to what people say, his SECOND location is south of Kakariko Village along the road. I assume he then goes to the riverbanks along the stables back to Korok Forest. I don't care if these are considered spoilers or not. Nobody has to go his or her way to backtrack to find some basic quality of life inventory expansions.
 
So the further I am in the game, the easier I feel it gets, or am I just not doing in the dangerous spots?

Also, Lynels. Holy shit, Lynels don't mess around. They will fuck you up.
 
Kinda disappointed by the reward you get for completing the puzzle in gerudo with
the balls and giant statues. Took a bit of leg work. Should have given me armor.

I met him once on the road to Kakariko, after that I didn't see him again until I got to the Korok Woods. He's just sat there permanently now.
 
The ms has an interesting mechanic even if kind of dumb
apparently when youre using it in an infected area or against a Ganon follower it glows bright and will last you the whole area/fight while it glows. Without it though you can eventually need to recharge it and it lasts 10 minutes
it's a nice work around. Still kind of silly considering this Is the same weapon we've had since all of the series.

was the opposite for me.

How good / convenient would it be if you could drop swords / shields from the d pad menu, rather than going into inventory and going drop. Seems like an oversight, especially in a game where you are juggling weapons and durability consistently...

I tend to just chuck unwanted weapons in the nearest lake.

I found him last night.

I didn't last long.

I've died more in this game at this point than I ever did in Zelda II, yet the deaths never feel cheap even when they're a one shot. I just tend to go "I'll be back for you...."

It's possible because yesterday I tried to go to Death mountain from the west road and it was full of monsters high level for me (full of dark and blue). So I tried the road from the south and it was more for me because it had a mix of normal and dark monsters. *thinking*

...wow.

I knew I was fucking up there. I used my sword at that part and died multiple times. Never felt right.
 
I'm in a tough fight and have a question about food.

If I eat defensive food and then offensive food the HUD only says my offense is up. Can you only have one food effect at a time?

Yeh pretty much how it goes. I noticed my speed boost drop once i ate some food with a defence up.
 
I'm in the shrine for which I had to melt the ice to get into. Stuck at the last fire wall. How do I get past it? Can't figure it out and I can't balance it on the metal crate.

That is what i was doing when i ran out of arrows and id use crynosis to freeze a block so i could target
waterblight ganon
and strike him. This needs to go in that thread where you realise you have played a whole (portion) of a game wrong haha.

EDIT: I am glad several people have done the same. Makes me feel less stupid
 
I really enjoy these shrines, there like bite sized dungeons. But some do make me feel stupid, though. Right now, I'm stuck at this one. Can someone tell me whether or not my solution is correct or not? I want to solve it for myself so please don't tell me the solution. Just whether or not I'm doing it right:

Dont have the name of the shrine with me right now. The shrine contains a pool. In the pool are three orbs. There's dish on a raised platform with a fence around it. I believe one of the orbs needs to go over the fence and into the dish, in order to lower the water or open a gate in the room.

What I'm doing is using the cryo (ice cube maker) module to get an orb out of the pool. Then I freeze the orb in time with the stasis module, and hit it until the directional arrow turns red. However, every time the orb unfreezes it shoots against the fence, never over it.
Am I doing it wrong? Should I go about this differently?

Just throw the ice if its big enough it wont completely melt, the use the crate to block the fire and get through.

Oh fuck me, I was smacking them with the sword too and getting hit all of the time. Considering how smart you feel when you figure out the dungeon, to come around and then do this dumb shit I really am a massive dummy lmao. Couldn't put two and two together.
