I used a bomb to activate the giant ball switches in a shrine, kinda defeats the purpose of a shrine (you can't use Zonai devices) but it was one of those my brain just couldn't wrap my head around it for some reason.

Yea, just get the glider and camera and then you can roam. You'll see why.

You should have used the fast travel ability to warp right back to the shrine located near the Temple of Time.

Bruh.
All my solutions are so dirty dawg.
I'm in this shrine where I gotta move a ball up a level, and there's all these things sticking out of the ground and a thing stuck on the wall with a diagonal rail and like a rotating cog, I guess. So I'm like cool cool and I stick a plank on muh ball so I can hook it onto the things sticking out of the ground and then I just climb a ladder and grab the ball from above. Inelegant? But I got muh ball tho didn't I.
Next room there's carts with wheels in some water. So I stick planks to a cart so the ball won't fall off into the water then hit the wheels to make it go. Nothing. The current is pushing against it and it's too strong. So I think ohhhh maybe this is one of those "reverse time" thingos so I face the cart the wrong way, hit the wheels, then try reverse time on that sucka. Nothing. So then I'm like maybe more wheels equals more power. So I stick another cart on the front of the cart so it's a really long cart with 4 wheels instead of 2. Again, nothing. So I'm all like, screw it. I flip my long-ass cart sideways and lean it against the wall. Then I climb a ladder and drop halfway down onto the cart so I can grab the ball and lift it high enough to hook it onto the middle of the cart. Then I climb the ladder again and grab the ball from above, completely bypassing the water section. For a moment I thought my ball wouldn't go in the slot cause I stuck a plank upside it but it worked no problems.
I am way too smart to learn how to use physics like a lil bitch nintendo. Just try and make me.
Yes I still don't have pants

I want to play this game. I have been hovering over the buy now button on Amazon multiple times throughout the day, but BOTW doesn't look so great on my LGCX and I just really really wish I could play this game at 4k60. I'd probably forget about it once I start playing but I don't want to spend that money on the game and then be disappointed by the IQ. Gah. Do I then just wait and hope it will be remastered for the Switch 2 or something?

Well, unlocked the ability to use towers and glider....again. I'll probably stop here for tonight.
Game still isn't impressing me a whole lot. There's a LOT of "stop playing the game and piss around in menus" going on. Whether it's going in to your inventory to drop stuff on the ground or in a pot, or swapping powers and dragging planks of wood around and flipping and angling them, etc. I detest busywork and that's all it feels like I've done so far. Shame, I like the focus on a more prominent story this time around, but the gameplay systems are not grabbing me. I actually don't mind it in the shrines, they've been pretty varied and keeping me on my toes, but stuff like hold up builder guy's sign is just tedium.
Anyone know if you can manually disassemble weapons you've fused together?

Wow, the game actually checks your BotW save and transfers over your horses. It feels so rare these days when games check your saves - I'm impressed lol

You can't die before your death
Find a torch or use a wooden weapon and light it on fire it will keep you worm while moving. Go gather 5 chilies and return to cook them they will give you 12+ minutes of cold resistance. After that look for a cold resistance equipment in the cold area.

Yeah so in the Zelda game settings I used the option to switch jump to B. Then if you go to the switch console settings, there's a Change Button mapping option.
In there I made it so R acts like X, and X acts like R. Take a look at it in settings.
Now in the game I sprint with R, jump with B, and X is for smaller things like dive when falling from the sky, and throwing weapons
Running with B or X made absolutely no sense to me

The impact switches I guess would be a better name (not the ball rolling ones), the puzzle happened to use a giant ball though. But still, I found it strange.

Not really. It's categorically a bigger improvement. Even if you set aside the new powers/abilities/location(s), just the quality of life improvements to inventory management and overall design ethos are substantially better over the original. I think we're gonna see a lot of push back from people that just plain don't want to give the game or Nintendo the credit they deserve simply because of the hardware it's on.

I just did that same one about an hour ago. For the water part there is a lane thats more narrow than the others. I put 4 wheels on one of the wide planks, stuck the ball on top, then put the whole cart on top of the the walls of the narrow lane. The walls are close enough that the wheels manage to stay on track and make it to the other side.
Started the game on SWITCH and it is ugly as fucking sin. Dumped game to PC and while better, the solutions out now just do NOT work consistently. I'd rather deal with the dog ugly graphics (like I did with XBC3) than the game constantly crashing every half an hour. The tech is absolutely hampering the immersive experience and I feel like people are doing the "lowered expectations" bit when praising the art direction here.
. . .that said, if you loved BOTW you'll probably get over all that within an hour or so in this game.
Fuck. We've got another six years of this don't we? Let me guess, you've also got "RICK & MORTY" on in the background and are taking notes on the deeper insights that "casual" R&M fans won't get (but that you are excited to tell them about on /reddit).
I'm not going to do this myself, but it does bring up a good point: the control UX in this is fucking terrible. I played BOTW once to completion and never touched it again so don't remember the control scheme in that, but no way do I remember it being this terrible. The fact that sprint is divorced from jump is insane. It honestly feels like a control scheme that worked for the developers and no one sat back and thought "Does this work for the average person NOT steeped in this game for the last six years?"

FUCK. I couldn't figure it out so I tried back tracking and made it to that big windy lake before realizing that won't work. Now I have to get back to the shrine but have no cold resist stuff left….

You may want to reinstall your .xci dump or at a minimum delete your cache folder and let it rebuild. I can play TotK for hours on Yuzu and not crash a single time while staying at a locked 30fps at 1440p. Yuzu doesn't crash at all for me, I just quit it when I'm done playing. wouldn't mess with 60fps mods at the moment if you currently are.

I must be going insane. You can skip the animation going in and skip the animation once you're entering. Are you guys referring to skipping all of it altogether? It is literally 2-3 seconds...
Think you lose the add on if you do...
Wiggle that shiat!Lol fuck me, i didn't relized that you can detach the stuff you glue together with ultrahand

I went through all the trouble to sneak up on a horse and ride it to the stable, just for the guy to say "I see you've registered a horse before" and for FIVE STAR EPONA to be all like WHY R U ON ANOTHER HORSE
BlackTron
Member
For me it was automatic. My BOTW save on Switch hasn't been touched in months. In TOTK, I wasn't even expecting it, I walked up with a horse to register and BAM, all my BOTW horses were already there.

Yeah and I hate that there aren't more weapon slots. Therefore I am motivated to hunt koroks. Want more stamina, start solving some puzzles and upgrade it

This game is really freaking good, been playing it pretty much non-stop. Even the shrines are fantastic, gives me Portal 2 vibes tbh, especially now that there are lasers in some of them.
Only complaint thus far is that it's a bit heavy on the use of menus and pausing.
Anyway, time to get back to it.

In some ways, I wish I'd never bought into graphics hype. I'm so used to 120fps @ 1440p on my PC that I'm having trouble getting into TotK. Not trying to flame here, just whining. Anyone know how to get over it? Take lots of drugs?

If you have a PC and you have the game already, just play it on an emulator. You'll get at a bare minimum the output of the switch if you have a decent PC and as a bonus, if you have a relatively modern PC, you'll be playing at 1440p/4k at 30 or 60 fps.

I overclocked my Switch in docked mode and decided that's as good as it gets because I couldn't deal with the janky emulator sound and graphical glitches. I'm in your boat, I much prefer >100hz and 4K, obviously, but I set my expectations for a solid 30FPS and it's mostly met, and the game is so fun I kinda forget about the resolution and framerate
Being motivated by how annoyed I am at the baseline mechanics isn't great game design, just saying... Anywho Ultrahand seems cool so far I hope they push you mentally and not have everything be solvable by stringing together 4 logs in a row. Also fuse is at least making the pickups I get more engaging for now even with weapon breaking which is nice.

Just a few hours in and already have experienced multiple memorable events. The freedom afforded to the player is unrivaled. Returning to the mainland of Hyrule was like reconnecting with an old friend.
I purchased a Switch OLED yesterday and started this game too and I honestly think this may be the best game I've ever played.
I haven't even left the initial sky island and I can't remember the last time I felt joy playing a game like this one.
I know it's not a graphical powerhouse but the game mechanics make you feel like you're controlling your own story and nothing is getting in its way.
