Hope it comes out to a system worth owning, maybe the next Xbox?
Animation was mediocre from what I saw.You've been annoying lately, but this actually made me laugh.
Not really an excuse in this day and age. Even the worst games (Overwatch etc) have good, fluid animation.
Looks like Skyrim with better controls but less quests. I'm in.
:rejoice
but damn it does need more shit to do...
I hope the mini dungeon rewards are meaningful and not rupees and crafting supplies.

Well, guess we all get to try it soon if this is true.
I haven't played a 3D Zelda since Twilight Princess on the Gamecube. :(
Made a summary of everything I can remember.
Lets summarize all the things you can do in Zelda and the changes:
World
•Open world, go where you want from the start. Obviously some places you wont be able to reach until you get an item.
•Link can jump, climb on anything, swim, run, all governed by a stamina meter.
•Dynamic weather effects the game, if there is wind you can use it to spread fire. If there is a thunderstorm metal can be struck by lightning. Rain will put out fires.
•Temperature plays a role, link cant go into an area too hot or too cold or he takes damage. Need to get better clothes. Or build a fire to stay warm, or use a torch. Or cook various objects and make a potion that gives certain resistances.
•There are shrines scattered around the world, over 100, each have trails of puzzles or combat. Treasures and sometimes new skills are found within. These are not the full dungeons you will also find.
•There are enemy base camps, some have a treasure chest that only opens when you clear the camp.
•You mark the world map. Its not filled with a ton of stupid markers. If you see something you cant reach yet, leave a treasure marker, or an enemy marker for a tough enemy.
•The E3 demo is only the plateau, a small elevated chunk of land where you can spend hours and hours exploring and its like 2% of the full game.
•There will be towns and NPCs but most have been removed for the demo.
•There are hidden Kuroks all over the place, this is from WW so this is tied to that timeline.
Actions
•Giant physics based playground, everything is governed by physics. See a boulder, roll it down a hill, it may crush enemies. Can cross a chasm but see large trees, chop it down to create a bridge.
•Fire reacts like fire. If you have a wood club put it in fire and now you have a fire club to light up enemies. Need to make a fire, cut trees to gather wood, find flint, put the two on the floor, use a metal object to strike the flint it mixes with the wood now you have a camp fire to cook. See withered grass, set it on fire and let the wind spread the fire.
•You can obtain a hand glider to fly around the massive world. You can use hot air from a fire to make the glider rise.
•One item is the magnet, it allows you to manipulate any metal object in the world. See a metal box, cant break it with normal items, pick it up with the magnet and crush it against something. You can located hidden chests under water and make it rise. You can pick up metal platforms and use it to crush enemies. You can throw your sword on the ground, use the magnet to pick it up and then swing it around using your magnet power.
•One item is called stasis it freezes an object in time. See gears moving some platforms or a bridge, freeze it. See giant metal spikes rolling around, freeze it. See a seesaw bridge that doesn't let you cross when too much weight is put on one side, freeze it.
•Stasis can be used to freeze any static object then you can hit the object with your sword or another object which transfers kinetic energy to the frozen object so when the stasis wears off that object will explode in the direction you were hitting it. This can be used to launch boulders into the air like a cannon at enemies.
•You get two kinds of bombs, one is round so it can be rolled and one is square so it can stay in one place. You have unlimted bombs, they are on a timer. All bombs are remotely detonated. You can place a bomb, lure an enemy to it and boom. See an enemy hut with explosive barrels, roll a bomb into it and watch it explode to oblivion. you can use bombs to launch objects the same way you do with stasis.
•There is the water ice maker thing. This lets you turn any body of water into a column of ice. See a gate with a puddle of water under it, raise the water up to raise the gate. An enemy is firing lasers at you while you are in water, create cover by making columns of ice. See a freezing body of water that link will die if he goes in, create the ice pillars so he can jump across.
Combat
•Mostly its like WW/TP but with new options. If you dodge at the right time you can do a fury strike which slows things down and allows for a super combo of attacks.
•You can pick up any weapon and use it, they degrade fast so you need to stock up on them. All of it governed by a stats system. Enemies drop weapons too, which you can pick up. Different classes of weapons fight differently like a spear is fast and used for thrust attacks. An axe is slow but powerful. Clubs are big and slow and can be put on fire.
•If you fight a skeleton you can shoot its head off and the body will search for the head, if you destroy one head and anothers body, the one without the body will pick up the head from the other guy and reform. You can also rip off an arm and use the arm as a sword, a sword that is constantly wiggling its hands to reach its body.
•Need to find a shield, killing enemies is best way to find them. Or sneak into their camp as they sleep and steal one.
•You can hop on the shield and use it to sled down mountains.
•Enemies can be scouted with the scope which reveals their health bar, most grunts are easy but the demo had plenty of super hard enemies that link was not ready for.
•Enemies have alert states that are shown with classic MGS ? ! icons. They will investigate sound, which you can keep track of with the sound meter. You can sneak up on enemies and do a stealth kill.
•With the arrow you can do some jump slow motion attack that freezes you in the air to aim and shoot.
•Horse back combat is back and its like TP, you can do combos like jump off horse enter glider then do slow motion arrow attack.
•Need arrows, why not taunt enemies to have them fire arrows at you while you dodge them then pick up those arrows to use against them.
•There was a giant rock monster that did insane damage where link had to climb it to reach its weak point.
•Guardians are all around, not sure what activates them but when they come alive watch out, their laser takes like 8 hearts.
•Red and blue enemies are back just like in Zelda 1. Blue enemies are far harder.
Gathering and cooking
•Tons of stuff to gather around the world. Most of it is food, apples, meat, mushrooms, fish. Use those for health. You will not find hearts around the world.
•If you don't cook stuff you get a small heart increase. Cook meat and it will heal better. If you cook at a campfire its not a big increase, cook at a cooking pot and you get a big boost.
•At a cooking pot you can mix all kinds of ingredients, throw in plants that give better stamina with some apples and other foods and you may make an elixir that gives you more speed for a certain amount of time.
•All experimental, try countless combinations to get different potions and food items that will aid you.
•One mix gives you 4 extra hearts on top of your 3 that stay with you until you get damaged. Great for fighting tough enemies.
•Lots of ore and other resources that seem to be used to craft but that wasn't shown. Lots of stuff says it can be traded in for rupees which like hearts do NOT appear in the world.
•You can cut down grass to look for insects. Hunt boar for meat. Different times of days will bring out different animals.
OMG I cant believe that just happened
•Use the wolf amiibo from TP and wolf link appears in your game and is your companion until it dies. It will hunt for you, attack enemies, and so on.
•The scale of the world is insane, they would use the scope to see a tower far in the distance and then open the map to show where it is, its crazy how vast the world is.
•These shrines have great puzzles, one is a gigantic spinning gear with spikes, you need to freeze the gears in time to jump around. Another had a series of rooms with giant boulders which needed to be pushed. At one point you take control of a giant hammer to smack the boulder. You can use all your skills to solve these, no set solution, multiple ways to solve all puzzles.
No official word, but the rumor is four very large dungeons but probably more for end game stuff. Along with that, there are over 100 mini dungeons called shrines that take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour plus to get items that earn you special abilities
This game looks like a hot mess that's trying to ape elements from 50 different game series without really trying to understand why said elements work in other games. The map is bloated for the sake of being huge (and completely barren, to boot), much like Ubisoft open world games feel bigger than they need to be.
Like really, what's even the point of having 100+ trials and all those chests in the overworld if you don't get anything actually rewarding for doing them? Ooo, I found a shitty sword that gives one extra attack point than my current weapon (but will break in 5 hits anyway), 10 arrows and a some crafting mats. I beat this trial and got a coupon that will let me get something somewhere else instead of rewarding me with the items outright. Reaaaaaal riveting. It was trash in A Link Between Worlds, it was trash in Skyward Sword's gratitude crystals for completing quests, and its still trash now.

This can be played with just the Pro Controller. :rejoice
I could do without crafting, but overall I've got a big ol' boner over this.

RIP humanity.
I actually want an amiibo now.
Also Audrey from the shrine demo :noah
guys I heard this has one-hundred U.S. dungeons (wow) can anyone confirm
I just hope they are not flabbynsick like the elder scrolls dungeons.
I really didn't like the voice acting, thankfully there doesn't seem much of it.
I'm glad towns and NPCs were confirmed, and hopefully the one best Zelda thing about SS, the music, comes back cause that shit was real good.
I reserve the right to be cynical cause 3D Zelda hasn't been good for a while.
Trailer looks cool
Think I prefer alien gibberish with subtitles to voice acting, though
"Users may not actually get the full story depending on how they play this game and how they strategize and solve puzzles. Users are able to go to the very end goal without revealing why Link woke up the way he did and where he did. Whether you want to reveal the storyline and find out why Link woke up, or you want to just go straight to the goal, that's an option totally up to the user.
Anybody who can go straight to the goal without doing anything else — there's two possibilities. Either they're a really good gamer, or they could be somebody that's a little bit crazy. But it's not impossible. I created the game like that. Maybe it might be fun for fans to compete in a challenge for who can clear it first."
How the fuck is that world barren
I'm not sure how you can say it doesn't look empty, unless you haven't played any open world games in the last decade. Talking to Brandnew here. There is just nothing alive or anything.
This is how games look in 2015/2016:

I think it's weak to say they are benchmarking themselves against a 2011 title in 2017 and this is some achievement.
Thats setting the bar low, even for Nintnendo.

do you know Nintendo? The fact they're doing this kind of game at all is going beyond what Nintendo is known for
Game looks like shit. Zelda as an AAA franchise is over.
Game looks like shit. Zelda as an AAA franchise is over.
Well, if someone that holds the noted quality Tales franchise up as a measuring stick says so, I guess we have to take their word as law.
There are multiple ways to make a big, open world interesting. Witcher 3 does it through storytelling and the quality of the writing. Dragon's Dogma and (at least it looks like) Horizon will do it through combat. Or you you have big sandbox games crackdown/gta/saints row. Zelda trying out the far cry/survival/crafting stuff has a ton of potential because that classic Zelda bedrock of dungeons/puzzles is still there underneath. An open ended Zelda with mini dungeons everywhere within a giant sandbox to explore and interact with is pretty much the best course for the series to go in, IMO.
The meat and potatoes of any Zelda is the dungeons and puzzles (and their quality). It is what differentiates it from the competitors and what will continue to set it apart.
you know the cel shading looks really bad in this game
wind waker had great cel shading
i've seen other games do cel shading
link looks fucking weird in this game :doge all the cel shaded stuff looks like it's glowing and shit
nintendo can't get anything right these days
From what I've seen, it's my favorite Zelda art style since Wind Waker.

Just make another handheld Zelda since those are usually good
3 of the last 4 were pretty mediocre. Only A Link Between Worls was very good.
Speaking of, any word on the ALBW team working on this.
I'm gonna get a Wii U for it, I think. I mean, it has such a varied library, with such classics as... uh... ok.
Looks like I'm buying a Zelda machine.

Just the obvious first party stuff and Hyrule Warriors cause that shit is so weird(but it's got a 3DS port with more content included that the Wii U ver which you can BUY as DLC :yuck ).

You can find pretty normal people who enjoy both Mario Kart and Smash :doge

No you can not, at least not for Smash. They're all people whose genes need to get out of the pool.

I've played Smash brothers with plenty of normal folks. They don't obsess over it, but there were parties about a year ago that I would go to where we would make fancy drinks, listen to music, and play Smash drinking games and Beerio Kart.
why is it smash fans always get so butthurt when someone doesn't like their game
It's just trash talk, dude.
Does Nintendo go to Tokyo Game Show? If they do there should be news on the NX at that point.
Nintendo has never been strong on TGS. The NX unavailing will probably be at their own thing.IIRC, Nintendo is a sponsor of TGS but otherwise doesn't participate.

also just an observation but a lot of us in our 30s don't seem to care for the series, prolly because we were too old for it when it came out
I win :miyamoto

Why argue when the judgement of history will prove me right. By the time the next game comes out all anyone will remember about Smash 4 is that it wasn't as bad as brawl :smug
The NX will be revealed in a Nintendo Direct type thing in the coming months. I don't expect it will be worth owning.If it's back compat with Wii U that'd help nudge me over cause then I could play two N consoles worth of games I've not had at yet.

I doubt we'll get another Smash Bros. The next entry in the series is rumored to be a Smash 4 remaster for NX, and Sakurai is beyond done at this point.
There won't be any reckoning for Smash 4, not like there needed to be in the first place because it's the best. :umad
Amiibo:Nausicaa is looking pretty alright as an Amiibo.

Nintendo: "Hey _____, take these assets and engine, make something."
_____: "Okay."
Nintendo was willing to lay out turds for IPs like Star Fox, Animal Crossing, Mario Party and their sports games. They'll outsource Smash to someone else when they want to.
When Miyamoto or key Mario/Zelda people pass away, its not like Nintendo execs are gonna say "we gotta wrap up this franchise guys, our main dudes are gone".

Reminds me of when Miyamoto said they didn't want to make a new F-Zero because they didn't want to make another version of the same game. :lol As if the NSMB series didn't exist, or they would halt the mario kart series because they ran out of gimmicks to throw in. Nintendo knows a cash cow just as well as Activision.
No one liked my unavailing joke :(Welcome to my world.
In between main games the wait for BotW s about the same, isn't it? And in between OOT and Alttp there weren't many handheld or spinoff games.
Crazy to think gamers got OoT, MM, and TWW all within a roughy four-year timespan. (Of course, not without sacrifices, in Wind Waker's case.)Wind Waker being obviously not finished is what's led to their being longer gaps in Zelda releases I think. They let one get rushed out there and then decided 'never again, we put these out when they are truly ready and not a moment sooner'. Which is fine by me really, I'd rather spread out quality than endless mediocrity. (not that what was there for TWW was bad, I love that game.)
late 90s - early 2000s were the golden years of Zelda in terms of quantity and qualityOracle of Seasons :rejoice

Yeah I think it's a good idea overall, although SS taking 5 fucking years makes no sense. That game has like 30% of the content of TP and not much better graphics (just a better art style.)

I didn't ask for this :yuck
I have interest in the new... console.
They just need to lower the price of the Wii U before launch so I can play this game. I'll be cranky otherwise. I'm not paying $300 for a fucking Wii U, and I have NO (edit: fuck) interest in the new dumb shitty console.
Zelda apparently delayed again https://arcadegirl64.wordpress.com/2016/11/14/rumor-breath-of-the-wild-will-not-be-released-in-march
I cant believe I once bought a Wii U to play Zelda :lol
edit:the nintards at gaf are in full force to defend nintendo as usual.

I don't see anyone defending this other than saying "eh expected."
Is this like open world find your own way? do dungeons in random order kind of stuff?
god this game's visuals have such shitty contrast and there's so much bloom
it's been this way since the reveal
link's face was glowing so much and shit
who the hell are doing the graphics for this game
get the super mario galaxy people on this to fix it before release plz
Still hyped but watching that vid right after beating FFXV didn't do it any favors visually. And FFXV isn't exactly the best looking game around.
who the hell are doing the graphics for this game
https://youtu.be/I31oWdODTjA:whew
just wait. tp is fine but tries to emulate oot way too hard. also has lots of boring stuff early on.
just wait. tp is fine but tries to emulate oot way too hard. also has lots of boring stuff early on.Agreed. The start of the game is a huge drag. There is a long, long intro until the first real dungeon and another big gap to the second. Things get rolling by the time you finally reach the second dungeon but there are several hours of running around to get to the good stuff.
It kinda emulates OOT a lot, even in the "Real Zelda starts now!" after the third dungeon where everything ramps up.
I am sorry but the bloom is making this game look ugly

Can this thing even run Unreal Engine 4?
I guess I should have added well.Can this thing even run Unreal Engine 4?
Don't know how you missed this, considering it was confirmed during the Shin Megami Tensei 5 trailer.
It must be exhausting to be this much of a hate-filled fuck. :lol
Probably not as exhausting as having Nintendo's cock down my throat 24/7 like you 2.
Probably not as exhausting as having Nintendo's cock down my throat 24/7 like you 2.
Secondly, PS1 and PS2 are my favorite systems. PS2 imo is the greatest system ever made. I cut my gamer teeth on Sony systems. If there's one company I stan for and am fairly loyal to it's probably Sony. I bought a PS4 SOLELY to play Shenmue III. During the ds vs psp years I generally preferred PSP. I have defended and slobbered over Sony countless times on this forum and I refuse to have my game taste reduced to "Nintendo fan" by the likes of you.Well then don't throw the fanboy card either if you don't like it. This is half the problem with your posts, you think you are somehow better than everyone and like to talk down to anyone who disagrees with you. I've criticized the Vita, the early days of the PS3, and even the PSP all while praising the early 360 days. So if you want to follow you're own complaints, stop complaining when people trash something you like. You come off as a huge nintendo fanboy and for someone complaining about people throwing insults, it's not like you hold back. All while pretending to be of some sort of higher standard.
And this is why gamers are shit.Please get off your pompous high hoarse or have not seen you're own hands over your ears "I"M NOT LISTENING SWITCH IS FANTASTIC" posts.
You are going to buy something you hate with the fury of a thousand suns that you actually hope fails.No I'm going to eventually (after a price cut or something) buy a system I think is going to fail and is probably not be terribly great for a couple of games I think will be good. Made by a company I dislike.
Please leave us alone.Nope.
granted, that's the E3 Wii U build. May be closer on launch.

Lovely.
That seems pretty pathetic. You're supposed big game isystem seller is pretty much the same on your previous system. Seems like a pretty weak console since there's not even a big jump in the port. Can this thing even run Unreal Engine 4? Anyway I hope the Wii U version won't be ubdershipped or anything.TP was the same on GC and Wii aside from being mirrored.
I don't like Zelda, but since this one is open world and has voice acting I'll try it out. Hopefully it's not super poorly paced.

I stand corrected! GameCube component cables were impossible to find back in the day though, I think they could only be ordered from Nintendo's online store (or third party/used from GameStop.)
Speaking of dungeons,It perfectly illustrates how streamlined modern Zelda is. You can sleepwalk through most of it. Somehow it only bothered me in TP though... Enter room, find 'switch', enter next room, find 'switch', etc.

I had not realized how similar the dungeon designs in TP were when you trimmed off the atmosphere of each dungeon. Interesting. Makes me appreciate Skyward Sword's dungeons a lot more
Wind Waker excelled at other things, far more than other Zelda games, in particular: sense of adventure and score. I still think it's the title the most effectively captures the wanderlust the adventure gamers crave.
I'm too used to WW HD, that Dolphin image looks so flat to me. (HD went overboard with the bloom but it did add something overall IMO.)

got that amiibo preorder for archer link!This is one game that needs to be ported to the Switch with better performance and all the dlc from both versions.
been running through hyrule warriors and i wish i'd played this sooner. running through zillions of enemies as zelda characters is something i never knew i wanted. plus, playing as marin and summoning the wind fish to attack dudes is :lawd
game is fully recommended for all zeldatards! supposedly the 3DS version is better but I'm liking the Wii U one a lot.

Tales of Berseria shits on the new Zelda; I promise.
In a statement provided to IGN, Nintendo explained the following “key facts” about each version:
Both launch on the same day, March 3.
Both have a frame rate of 30fps.
Both versions of the game offer the same content.
On a TV, the Nintendo Switch version of the game renders in 900p while the Wii U version renders in 720p.
The Nintendo Switch version has higher-quality environmental sounds. As a result, the sound of steps, water, grass, etc. are more realistic and enhance the game’s Open-Air feel.
The physical copy of the Wii U version will require 3GB of available memory on the Wii U system or an external drive.
Some icons, such as onscreen buttons, differ between the two versions.
A Special Edition and Master Edition of the Wii U version are not available.
I remember Windwaker's dungeons more than any of Twilight Princess'. Twlight Princess had um, the monkey dungeon, the annoying water dungeon, and the dungeon where the statues follow you and that's all I remember. Maybe someday I'll finish TW:HD. Oh! there was a volcano dungeon with Gorons too.
900p in 2017 :lol

Wind Waker is the only good 3D Zelda. It is known.
The Nintendo 64 and Gameboy Color were Nintendo's second and third worst consoles, easily. (Number one goes to the Virtual Boy). I went from being a big Nintendo fan to not really caring about anything they put out. Liked them with the Game Cube and GBA again, then lost a lot interest with the Wii and DS.Sorta the same. Lost interest around 64, came back with Cube and GBA. Though the DS brought me back full steam and I was mostly into Wii as a side console. Wii U was good to have as an addition to a PC and I figure Switch will be the same.

There are far too many all-time classics on the 64 to be considered anywhere near "worst" my dude.

I didn't like most early 3D Nintendo titles at all. Back in 1996 I liked 2D games way more than 3D games and was not much for 3D platformers...so the N64 was not for me. The first game that I spent a lot of time with was Goldeneye (multiplayer only) and that was about it for a long time. I did love Conker though.
This reminds me that my boxed N64 and games are just sitting at my parents' house. Time to get rid of it.
Truth be told, I'm looking forward to seeing him play a Zelda game. I'll also see about getting older Zelda games after this, if he's into them.

Ocarina of Time 3DS and Wind Waker HD are the best options you've got for older games. The remakes for those two are excellent.
Frame rate in the Wii U version can be a bit “uneven” at times, dropping into the teens; however, this only during “very busy sequences” such as heavy weather effects and “rarely when it matters.”
WW HD is a great game. Speeds up the end game considerably too.Did they dump the fetch quest at the end? That was my biggest problem with the game.

Sort of.Ah, cool. Thanks. The uber sail would be much appreciated. Hopefully they port it to the Switch, I'll try it out.
There are several things added to the game outside of the fetch quest that make traversal wayyyy less a pain in the ass, including immediate wind changing, a sail that makes it so the wind is always in the correct direction depending on your position, and the grappling hook plundering takes like 2 seconds instead of 10. They also cut down on the needed charts to find the triforce pieces, and made it so you never have to go to Tingle.
What usually took me 2-4 hours in the original Wind Waker took me maybe an hour this time around.
Game comes out Friday, idk why you would want to spoil yourself if youre interested in the game.Personally, I've only seen some of the pics in this thread and heard some of the OST on youtube. I'm not actively seeking information at all beyond knowing that big spoilers have indeed leaked out, so I'd agree with you.

Apparently it runs worse when the Switch is docked?!
http://kotaku.com/nintendo-switch-the-kotaku-review-1792776350
:jeanluc
This makes sense though. Isn't the dock essentially just HDMI out? So you're rendering the game at a higher resolution without additional hardware support.
Nah, it's clocked higher in docked mode.I think only the GPU clocks up and it's an optional setting.

I agree that Zelda games are incredibly overrated, but why can't a 98 metacritic game have so-so graphics/framerate? Like why do graphics matter? A 10/10 PC game is still a 10/10 game to me even if it's on the lowest settings. Graphics are nice, that's for sure but I don't think they should factor into a game's rating.

Got to the first village in the 2nd area. Game is huge, and tons of fun to explore. There was some thread on gaf saying the open world just is filler and slows down the gameplay, but here the open world going from one place to another is the actual sense of exploration gameplay. It's great. Also a very pretty game from an art perspective. Time of day/weather adds a lot.
Couple of questions:
1) How do you make a fire? I have all this wood and even flint but I don't understand how to use flint on my steel weapons to start the fire?
2) At some point will I either get something to restore durability to a weapon or will I get a sword that actually lasts? Because so far every weapon I use breaks in like 1-2 enemies.
I cannot over emphasize how happy I am that I can not only die but have died several times. I think the only time I died in a zelda since LttP was one of the three (3!) fights with demise and that was only because the camera got stuck and I couldn't see where I was going.
Is there a point later in the game where you can fix things? Or have a master sword that doesn't just break often?
I cant get over the fact how ugly this game is. And what's with the excessive use of bloom. This isn't 2006 anymore.
I think this game looks like a fucking Ghibli film yet some people on here can't stop bitching about the visuals. ???
Is there a Zora outfit for swimming/underwater stuff?
Feel free to spoiler tag, I'm just interested.

4) Defense-wise I'm slowly getting stronger through clothes and clothing upgrades. Offense-wise...even like 20 hours in or something I don't feel any stronger than I was in the first few hours. I'm still just using whatever the enemies drop, so 4 damage boko clubs or 6 damage spears, etc...with a few heavy swing 12 weapons for bigger enemies. This basically means if I run into packs of enemies that are strong I can't really do anything because I'm too weak on the offensive. Do I just need to buff with foods or something? I'm not using foods at all because I don't know almost any recipes.
5) Speaking of foods, one reason why I haven't even tried cooking stuff (besides not having any idea what to throw in) is because I don't know how to start a fire. So I run across pots in the wilderness with the fire out and I have wood but I don't know how to start the fire so there's not many places I can cook at.
Method 1:
Hit a flint with a metallic weapon inches away from the wood. Flints are obtained through breaking rocks with a bomb or hammer.
Method 2:
Shoot a fire arrow. Fire arrows are found very early in the game, in a skull-like structure east of the Temple of Time. Once enemies are cleared, the chest inside the skull will unlock, rewarding you with fire arrows. Various village shops and wandering merchants will also carry this important item.
Method 3:
Transfer flame from elsewhere on a wooden object, like from a nearby lantern or torch. This will eventually consume the wooden object.
Method 4:
Drop and strike red Chuchu jelly (obtained from enemies called Fire Chuchus) to cause a small explosion.
Bing-bang-boom! You’ve got fire.
You don’t need a pot to cook food
You can gather up to five ingredients from your inventory and chuck them in any available steel pot to cook them. Everybody who’s anybody in Hyrule knows that. But did you know you don't even the pot? Head to a hot enough climate - Death Mountain or Gerudo Desert, for instance - and you can literally sear a steak on the ground. The reverse is true for cold environments like the Hebra Mountains, which make your meals icy. You can also start a fire anywhere, be it a bush, tree, or patch of grass, then drop a food item into the flame roast it. Mmm.
Also I got my pro controller today and was suprised how little difference there was from just using the default joycon in dock controller. Aiming with a bow is better since the analogs are too tiny/sensitive on the joycons, but otherwise feels about the same. Joycons aren't bad.

It also runs pretty meh. Though if it ran at 60fps, had better AA, and a clean 1080p image it would be a looker. The art direction is really good.

Like non-rusted ones? I've found rusted of both, but no non-rusted ones yet. Then again I usually skip big enemies like moblins since my weapons are weak.
What's wrong with it? I just throw shit together
You can remove rust from weaponsspoiler (click to show/hide)by throwing them at/putting them in front of an octorok while they're sucking in air They suck them up an spit them out rust-free.[close]
Also on the subject of starting fires, if you throw blue chuchu jelly in a fire it becomes red chuchu jelly.

Haven't come across that yet, but I did find a shrine that was essentially a 'marble puzzle' where you have to tilt and rotate a maze to get the giant metal ball to the exit. What I didn't realize is that there was a treasure chest inside the maze, but from the perspective you see when controlling it, I thought it was the 'goal' where you have to get the ball. Nothing happened when I got it there and I couldn't figure out what was going on. :lol
Then I noticed that you have to get the ball out of the maze and onto another platform, where it rolls into a hole and completes the shrine. Rather than try all that tilting shit again, instead you can just flip the whole puzzle upside down, and when the ball regenerates, just use the flat surface of the bottom area to flip the ball onto the other platform pretty easily.
I've heard a few people flipped the whole thing over which is pretty awesome. I didn't think about doing that.
But when the ball fell out and respawned, I did cheap it a little bit. Basically I did a think where I forced the ball to jump over the wall right to the final stretch where you have to fling it to the exit. It felt really good that it worked.
There's one shrine that I couldnt figure out:
There are three of the ancient core's in a pool of water and a "basket" in a corner. I don't think I figured out the correct way to do it but for the first one I placed a square bomb down, then placed the ball on top of it closer to one side. Then I Stasis'd the ball and then blew the bomb up which sent the ball flying up and down into the basket. Actually now that I think about it I probably didn't need to Stasis the ball...
Then the next room has the same setup except the basket has a top on it and there appears to be a trigger underwater that has to be pressed but I couldn't figure out how to press it underwater.
That dunkey video actually does a great job on how "open" this game really is.
Ok, I'm in Zora's Domain but holy shit how do you beat the Lyonel? This is the first "boss" fight for me as I've never anything stronger than a 240HP moblin. This guy kills me in 1 hit either slash, stomp or arrow and I do miniscule damage to his 2000HP lifebar. I get you can avoid the fight altogether by gathering arrows, but is it basically near impossible to actually beat him in a fight right now with 13 armor and 20-24 damage weapons and 5 hearts?Eat a meal with tons of radishes and follow it up with def. meals/elixirs. You can get 15-20 extra hearts pretty easily by then.
Got the Master Sword, it's only a 30 ATK weapon LUL
You can use magnesis on something that in essence turns it into a ladle to pick up the ball from the water and place it in the "basket" as you call it. Bring it to the next room and place it on the switch under water to remove the top from the basket.don't forget to go back to the first room after beating the second room to get a sword from the chest there too!
Yeah once I beat this Zora dungeon boss I'm gonna just spoil faq it for recipes because I don't know how to cook anything other than stealth up, stamina up, cold resistance or electric resistance potions at this point. No idea how to make an ATK up or DEF up or extra hearts elixer/food.
Just did some weird Dark Souls-y side quest on Eventide Island. They take away everything from you and you have to use whatever is available to put 3 orbs into some pedestals. Pretty neat idea.

The only dungeon I've done so far, the Gerudo divine beast, was unimpressive. The boss was also uninteresting too. I've heard the other dungeons and bosses are also underwhelming.
Nintendo nailed the overworld, which is usually my least favorite part of Zelda, but my favorite part, dungeons, feels half baked.

He doesn't strike me like the type to do that (with a review, anyway). I don't agree with his score, but he's right that the durability stuff is a negative point about the game and his review is still positive overall. This just doesn't strike me as a 7/10 game in the slightest....but it's kind of amazing how a review will drive people insane enough to "retaliate" against it.
This game shits all over all the other open-world games I've played. It's so well made and refined. It's really amazing how the game lets you approach things in different ways.
How does this stack up against The Witcher III and which do you guys like more?
Really feel like Jim is just trolling for hits/attention here. :trumps

Why do people compare this to Witcher 3? ???
Yo, this game is really good.
Also runs smoothly in portable form.

WHERE THE HELL IS THAT LAST CHICKEN?!!
also it's completely not worth doing that quest

Don't you have to do that one and a couple other BS quests to unlock a shrine quest, tho?
I swear I've been on every roof and I've only found one chicken (it was on top of a stall or something). Is there more than one roof chicken?
Yeah I'm not really following. What things are getting in the way exactly? I'm in the same phase as you basically and I don't see that at all.

Forget it, Fistful. It's Bebpotown.
game is still incredible. It's the best game Nintendo has made since Mario Galaxy, and I'd say it surpasses it. Best Zelda game ever as well
Climbing is the best part of the game. It's probably Nintendo's biggest contribution to open world games. To be fair, you need a second full stamina bar to make it really enjoyable.
My old dad gamer age is showing. I know you can do the divine beasts in any order but I did the Gerudo one first. Is that right? It took forever for me to figure out that "no, you're not being dumb you actually do have to run up this platform before it becomes vertical." Now I'm at the boss and I'm just not feeling equipped for it. I know I just need to git gud, but am I doing things out of order or something?
Also equip "quick climb" gear (stackable with more gear afaik).
I dont think you need a full second bar to climb enjoyably. Just look for flat-ish surfaces you can rest on and avoid completely vertical walls.
Climbing slowly is less energy consuming than pressing the jump button as well.
You could also eat energy restoring food while climbing? Never did this though

I fucking love climbing. It opens up so many avenues. It was something that was made really apparent when I was watching my girlfriend play Horizon. Horizon seems like a cool game but there were time she was awkwardly trying to jump up the terrain and trying to figure out where the game would let her go.
In Zelda there isn't anywhere you can't go. It's makes the world feel so wide open and free. It adds to the sense of exploration and wonder that it's going for.
So I retried the Gerudo boss. I must have been tired or something because I beat him rather easily this time.
...now for that sandsnake....not as easy.
Frame rate on Weeoo is getting to be a real shitshow, it's real bad during boss fights. Guess I should have manned up and bought a Zelda tablet after all
LOL, here I was trying to shoot it in the mouth with bomb arrows.So I retried the Gerudo boss. I must have been tired or something because I beat him rather easily this time.
...now for that sandsnake....not as easy.
Molduga? Just stand on a rock and throw bombs into the sand. Then when he eats the bomb, detonate it. Easy.
I avoid 95% of the combat in the game and never do the enemy camps
hoping the final dungeon is good.
I poked around in Hyrule Castle and it's pretty fun to explore around. There's a bunch of cool little things to find. Tons of weapons and shields too.

None of which gets used in the final battle LOL
Seriously all you people hoarding gear for the final fight are going to be very disappointed
I guess I'll blow my large collection of 50+ damage weapons on these major tests of strength shrines.
I managed to get enough Mon to buy the full Dark Link set. It's pretty badass
I really need to go through the process of upgrading my armor sets. I have pretty low armor rating and I still get killed quick even with a lot of hearts.
So I'm at the part where I have to steal the arrows from the Lynel. I gotta say that when Zelda tries stealth it never works. I don't know why they keep on trying it. It's never been enjoyable to me.
At least that's open sandbox stealth. Good luck when you get to Yiga.Yiga? You mean that theif clan? LOL, I don't know if that counted as stealth really.
Although the Death Mountain stealth section is fun since it's not really stealth at all and just puzzles.
Yiga gave you trouble? LUL

Any I doing stealth wrong in this game or something? Like I take a stealth potion or food and I crouch and hide in grass and go really slowly, but still I always get spotted by whatever the hell it is I'm trying to sneak up on.
That said, I've sunk about 20 hours into it and only just got to Impa the other day, so I'm probably doing a lot of things wrong still.
Yeah he'd tunnel under my bombs and go right past them. I'd signal him with an arrow shot near a red barrel and he'd tunnel into it and explode.
Btw anyone know after beating the game https://youtu.be/ccnlDmAvhww
What does that mean. I love good combat in an JRPG and love doing as many battles as possible. It's just unlike those JRPGs, here there's not really a reward for fighting and activliey hurts you.You're way ahead of me. I'm taking my time with this game. Just beat the first dungeon the other day and have been exploring Akkala recently.I avoid 95% of the combat in the game and never do the enemy camps
???
JRPG gamers.... :snoop

I'm totally running a weird campaign here. Just sorta picking a direction and going "that way" for a stint. Did Gerudos first then did the Zora domain. Decided to explore and found the Gorons. Need more food/money so just picking a direction and finding shrines/encampments. God, I miss this type of gaming. I'd love to see a Metroid like this, but it sorta goes against the whole Metroid concept of "get x item, use x item to go to y place".
“I was rather inspired by playing Minecraft and Terraria. I was able to learn from the gameplay and the possibilities found in. I could learn from the sense of adventure, exploration and how it inspired curiosity.”
Out of curiosity, how did you do the Thunder plains? I got the two orbs onto the platform via a combination of octoballoons and kinetic energy via stasis, but the whole time I thought I had to be doing it weird.There was a rock platform on the east side that was lower but parallel so what I did was I used the barrells with stasis to get it up there. I didn't think about octoballoons lol.

Can I play this on my PC yet? :hyperhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WMgCy03cT0
Yeah, and as soon as 1.7.4 comes out, the game will be a whole lot more playable :D
A patch got released for the Wii U and Switch versions. Seems to address a lot of framerate issues.I've been burned by this kind of thing too many times. :lol Like the time the obscene Bloodborne loading times got patched out the day after I platinumed it.
Me: "Oooh this climbing stuff is fun and useful! I'm going to spend all my spirit orbs on stamina!"
Deku Tree: "LOL hope you didn't ignore your hearts."
Me: "Fuck"
Gotta find 8 more shrines now.
Wha?? Where?Me: "Oooh this climbing stuff is fun and useful! I'm going to spend all my spirit orbs on stamina!"

You can swap em out.

I finally beat the game over a week ago and I've been slowly going through and trying to find and complete all the shrines.
I guess it's not surprising that the hardest enemy in the game isspoiler (click to show/hide)a Silver Lynel but knowing how to hop on their backs for a bunch of cheap shots makes the fights much easier.[close]
On a related note apparently all Zelda related amiibo are now super pricey online, rofl.
Yeah when a speed runner said they were going up I checked on Ebay and saw that the two Zelda amiibo I bought way back were worth $50 in box. I actually bought one because I thought I had heard it was rare, so I guess I could flip it now.
girlfriend started playing and she's managed to see and do so much stuff in the first 10 hours that I completely missed/avoided.Yeah. Same with watching my daughter play it. I was like "Oh, I never saw that!"
For me that's the most exciting thing about this game. It's like a new platform they can build off of and make even better.
During the Waterblight Ganon fight in Ruta's dungeon, my girlfriend accidentally chose the stasis power when trying to destroy the ice block and found out you can send the ice blocks back at it, dealing damage. I didn't even do that. I just shot it with arrows. Her method was way more efficient.
apparently it's now kosher to think this game sucks dick
I've seen enough apologists in my time romanticize the shitty triforce quest in GameCube version Wind Waker, post Twilight Princess, that I believe the Zelda cycle is absolute a real thing. I'm sure "Skyward Sword's 'filler' was actually good!" or "I actually enjoyed collecting tadtones" comments are probably incoming.
:mindblown
Skyward sword was ruined by waggle. RUINED. :maf

I...didn't mind collecting tadtones
I...didn't mind collecting tadtonesI mean, it wasn't enjoyable so much as something one endures. The swimming controls were ass and the entire thing was a waste of time.
I can't wait for for Himuro to play it one day and shitpost for days about how awful it is.

I can.
The fuck happened in this thread? Also defending Skyward Sword?
:snoop
Yeah, but it's oddly satisfying to kill wolves that are attacking you then cook and eat their flesh.
Yep, rupees are hard to come by so I usually sell shit I know I don't need for it. Hell, the Goron area is full of mining for ruby and sapphire gems to sell. That should help if you're ever in a pinch.
Turns out the real big bad in Breath of the Wild is that son of a bitch Beedle.spoiler (click to show/hide)I gave him all my Energetic Rhino Beetles and not knowing they were an upgrade material later on
:oreilly[close]
Also Gerudo Desert is awesome but there really should be a sand seal stable. Seals with different stats, colors, the whole nine yards just like with horses.
I was joking around, yeah both are viable strategies. :-*:duh
The Rito and Goron divine beasts are by far the easiest in the game. It's kinda funny how the game sorta funnels you towards the Zoras first.
I did the Gerudo first. Everything else was easy. Sorta a let down.
I haven't found enough bundles of wood yet to buy the house.
So I've been playing for like 10 hours now, just recovered my first memory. What am I supposed to do? Just go around the map and find shrines and discover new areas until i am fed up and then head to one of the areas with a Divine Beast?
Was playing a few days ago and thinking it would have been cool to have the game start just a bit before you get knocked into your 100 year coma. Have the game allow you to explore the world before everything goes to shit. You complete a few simple tasks before going down while trying to protect zelda, then wake up in the shrine of resurrection. I guess that would be a bit like ocarina of time.Not having the Castle town really added (or took away) to the already baron, open world... I hope they go back to it next installment. Would love to see a bustling city on this engine. Just imagine dat frame rate. :pacspit
