Do the rods suck scrote or am I doing something wrong?

I can only do significant damage by "throwing" the meteor rod and hitting the target with all three balls.

>>172195312
I could understand with TP Wii and SS because waglan, but now there's no more reason for it

Just completed the shrine on Isle of Rabac (cute crab island).

THAT is what I'm talking about. Fantastic shrine, the sense of impending dread from being suspended over lava rather than a bottomless pit was a good touch. Also loved the mine cart ride to reach it.

>>172195519
Lynels will still bend you over and go in dry

>>172195630
Sell them for a higher price to the Gerudo.

>>172195630
In Goron City there's a Gerudo that buys in bulk (packs of 10) for more than a regular shop whould buy them

>>172195769
You take like 5 hearts of damage from them, it's a non issue and fighting lynels is easy as shit anyways

>>172195670
I mean if you're gonna do that at least let the player have the option of switching.

Fucking Bokos...

So Link and Zelda swapped triforce segments for this game, right?

>Link wears blue instead of green
>Link is usually associated with the forest people (kokiri, ordon village, etc), this time he's with the zora
>Most of the game is figuring out "how they hell do i do/find this?" rather than being told what to do
>Zelda's power awakens when she's cornered and has to protect herself and Link
>Zelda storms Ganon's castle and holds the line solo for 100 years

I really think Zelda got courage and Link got wisdom this time

>this proves my theory the leviathans went extinct due to the cold!
>this proves my theory the leviathans went extinct due to the heat!
>this proves my theory the leviathans went extinct due to the drought!

I feel like this is a sly reference to the mysteriousness of BotW's timeline. The evidence is all here but it contradicts each other.

Basically BotW Zelda summons Link, but this time since Link is her familiar and not a knight that reminds her of all her failures, she treats him even worse.

>>172197687
>forest people

I mean. Yes and no. OoT Link was the only real naturey forest guy, which makes me wonder how he would fare in this kind of game. Link in TP was a rancher and the Links in LttP and ALBW have a background closer to BotW Link.

>>172197492
Oh, I'm not going to autistically screech about it or anything, but there aren't a lot of left-handed swordsmen in fantasy media and that is something that always set Link apart (aside from the Peter Pan getup); besides, I never named him anything other than Link, so it's a non-issue for me

>>172197913
At least you're right about best girl

>>172197913
More like if Zelda was a super Tsudere cunt that treated Link like a literal dog. (Including keeping him chained up in a collar)

It's a shitty show with shitty worst girl.

Anyone else purposely crippling themselves for more interesting combat? I really like this game, but the difficulty kind of just wore down after a while. I died a few times early game, but now its just coming down to whether or not I have enough food to beat an enemy. I'm at the point where I'm running into situations unprepared for a challenge.

I don't mind being able to limit myself, but I really hope that hard mode adds in some more challenge. What I want to see more is better combat AI. Don't get me wrong, its amazing already, but I'm getting hungry for more.

>>172197492

Sort of, I wear unupgraded armour sometimes for the challange of it. It's really hard to die in this game since in the beginning everything keeps you at 1/4 heart before dying, and after that you just pick up faeries and shitloads of food.

I died twice in the game, once during the beginning trying to be smart shitter against a guardian on the plateau, and once in the Yiga hideout becuase I went in gunsblazing

That just becomes H stuff. Fan service is called fan service for a reason, but yes. All ecchi or harem anime is complete blue balls. Especially if based on an LN since anime adaptations are just commercials for it so the real lewds are in the book.

The first Zelda game I played was ALttP, and I played on my older cousin's file which he named "Abner". So I used to think Link was named Abner.

Would also like to know. You could ask in their discord, I don't have an account

https://discord.gg/XjBpQN8

>>172198404
They really didn't commit to challenging the player this game. Like they were afraid of taking it one step further. Still a step above many modern games including everything after LttP but yellow hearts preventing OHKO and that iframes grace period of getting up after you've been knocked around were way too forgiving.

>>172198321
>>172198631
Improvements to rods and boomerangs are definitely a must for next game. The durability system is in place to make you use lots of different weapons, so they should at least have more viable weapon types. Clubs and axes already are just reskinned broadswords.

>>172198404
I think those were the majority of my deaths as well. I went to Gerudo right after Kakariko, which after playing all of the areas of the game, I've discovered that Gerudo is the hardest. I want to start buying and coloring different tiers of armor sets. Like designating red as high armor, then blue as medium, green as medium-easy, and brown or grey as easy.

>>172198605
That's actually a really cool idea, I've upgraded my weapon slots heavily and use the weapons like a conveyer belt. I might just item dump once I enter a new area.

>>172198620
Being able to dye it green would've made it literally perfect, but they could've at least made us able to dye Wild Cap to that shade of blue

>>172198879
I'm a bit more forgiving on that because it's still leaps and bounds more challenging than basically any other modern game other than Souls.

It definitely needs a real hard mode that's totally unforgiving.

>>172198404
>everything keeps you at 1/4 heart before dying
you literally haven't played the game.

>>172198404
>everything keeps you at 1/4 heart before dying
What is with this? I distinctly remember being oneshot by a Decayed Guardian early on.

>>172199390
This. I was doing a three heart/no defense run and had been getting one shot since the very start of the game. Yeah once you learn about perfect dodge and flurry rush shit's easy but I haven't encountered anything keeping me at 1/4 heart rather than just killing me.

>>172199390
>>172199416
Eh, might be mistaken but it seemed like a lot of stuff just pushed my health down to 1/4 instead of outright killing me

>>172199416
it's bullshit that children who've never actually played the game keep repeating. there are enemies that do exactly 2 and 3/4 heart damage with just old clothing on, but they are few and far between.


guardians one shot
yiga one shots
blue and up archer lizalfos one shot
black and up bokoblin one shot

this "le enemies keep at 1/4 heart" shit is an analysis from the E3 demo and not valid for the full release whether on 1.0.0 or 1.10

why do people say that BOTW takes place in a converged timeline?

>>172199810

>>172199810
There's evidence for it fitting in all three timelines and evidence against it fitting into any of them.

Everything else about BotW is supposed to serve as a "soft reboot" to the series, so it stands to reason the purpose of setting it 10,000 years in the future of any past Zelda game was to separate it storywise from every other one. So not in a literally converged timeline, but one in which past games are so far in the past that none of them matter except OOT and Skyward Sword.

Place names make no sense unless converged timeline that's why

Mainly because it doesn't matter what timeline it's in and it's a convenient enough excuse to brush over the whole thing. Also, any fans who actually care about the timelines at this point need to jump right into Death Mountain.

How do you fast travel in combination with the dragon + glider? I remember reading something about this in the general a week ago. Really need that now if it exists.

>>172199726
can confirm most of the blights attacks will leave you with 1/4th of a heart using the staring clothes exclusively for defense on three hearts

>>172201507
The dragons create a massive updraft around themselves when they fly so you can glide beside them infinitely.

Why is this Link so fat compared to TP Link?

>>172200352
that defeats the entire purpose of making the game hard.

of course wearing full upgraded heavy armor (ancient, soldiers, etc) will not allow you to get wrecked easily. bonus points if you use temp hearts or do enough shrines to get 30 max.

but if you play 3HCNU then you will get OHKO by a lot.

also i did some very rudimentary testing, it seems the quarter heart meme is legit for basic fauna (red bokoblin, red moblin, green lizalfos) for weapons of any rating below 20 whether it's a bow or a regular weapon. i've given them two handers, spears, and one handers. they OHKO only when given a weapon of 20 or above, but they don't normally carry those weapons anyway.

Stone Talus on great plateau OHKOs

>>172199981
Pretty sure the point is that things don't leave you with 1/4 health, they kill you outright from full health if their damage exceeds your health. Also I think unless you have ancient armour/diamond circlet guardians still oneshot you with full armour up to at least like 15 hearts, but I don't know because I haven't been hit by one in a long time.

>>172202140
You'd be out of shape too if you slept for a hundred years.

>>172202216
>Also I think unless you have ancient armour/diamond circlet guardians still oneshot you with full armour up to at least like 15 hearts, but I don't know because I haven't been hit by one in a long time.

Not at all, anything with over 30 of total defense trivializes the game

Calamity Ganon overheating my console?

>>172202325
Having a shield and any amount of skill trivialises the game['s combat], is the issue. I very rarely get hit at all despite insisting on not using the stronger AND even easier to use flurry rush, if you favour flurry rush you should be fucking invincible. Only exceptions are things like Lynels where some flurry rushes can be really hard to time (and some parries can be a bit tricky too) so it's best to use both.

Honestly though, the slightly slicker combat system than in past titles is nice, but conventional cqc is not at all what I went into the game for or came out of it impressed by. It's still just a pretty run of the mill, fairly dumbed down/easier version of the combat in "hardcore" arpgs like Monster Hunter and Dark Souls (pretty similar to Dragon's Dogma, though, just like almost everything else in BotW). And a significant portion of the time I haven't used cqc to kill shit, I've used ridiculous tactics like octo ballooning chu jelly and fanning it over to drop on enemies' heads and then shooting it to freeze them before chucking bombs for instance.

I do hope hardmode actually makes combat more of a fun challenge itself, though. It would be nice if I either had to be awake for it because of tighter parry/dodge windows and armour not being as effective or were actually pressured heavily to use those weird tactics to remain safe.

shit solz is not hard to play at all. it's the exact same combat as botw and monster hunter, only with slower-than-monster-hunter player combat and retardedly fast frames on enemy units. don't forget bullshit AOE fields from BoC, Nameless, and invisible shockwaves from shit like capra, iudex/champ, nameless, and i don't even want to get into DS2.

For at least a good chunk of people all the game really needs to be difficult is a major nerf to the following in hard mode

>save scumming

Save points of some kind with no autosave would do wonders. Dying now has consequence.

>limit warping to towers

Self explanatory

>food scumming

Being able to pause at any time, even while ragdolling, and instantly scarfing down food to refill your health is ridiculous. Especially later on as even one item can restore most if not all your hearts. It should have something like HoT, no eating while ragdoll, one active at a time. Possibly don't pause the game too.


Just try to think of all the times you've used these as they currently are and what would've happened if you couldn't. Of course this isn't the only thing they should touch, parry+flurry does need tweaking. I want those addressed before they do anything like adding hunger though.

>>172203508
To be fair, I've never really played much DnD myself, most of my RP experience comes from forum based shenanigans. But I figure as a writer and a guy who likes taking input, I can make a good DM, especially if I use a premade scenario.

I was actually really surprised when, about a hundred hours into gameplay, I warped out of the way of a guardian laser because I happened to open the map then to check the direction to an objective and saw that I could do it. Almost every game with fast travel keeps you from teleporting out of combat. But for me personally none of that would matter except maybe food, especially early on.

They probably didn't want to do all the tiny tweaks to the entire game they would've needed if they aged up the rest of his body too. Link was a manlet in OoT though but I think he was at least taller than some girl npcs in that game.

>>172203801

A Zelda based campaign would be fucking rad. Make sure you include everything, 2D and 3D. Sword beams, ice rods, magic capes, etc.

And yeah it is a little.

>"I've never been super into Zelda but I'm pretty interested in Breath of the Wild."
>"Yeah, I mean you guys always have been casuals."
>"I hate you......you're right"

They're good sports about it. To be honest Zelda games have this reputation for being piss easy and I agree at times, so I was really interested in Hero Mode when they started introducing that...but then again, I've been playing them my whole life and know what to expect.

Every time I watch someone play a Zelda game that hasn't beaten at least two before, they get their asses handed to them or get stuck on simple puzzles. Tons of /v/ and /vg/ BotW streams were like this. I know gamers like to sound pro or some shit, but man.

>>172202779
Eh, making the window of opportunity smaller only furthers the current problem. If you want to make the combat hard, then present certain situations where damage is unavoidable. Kind of like chess.

If you had the opportunity to save your king in every situation, then it just boils down to whoever is best at saving their king. Kings can be cornered, which makes the strategy legitimate and interesting. I kind of saw this during the Yiga Clan mission, where if you got caught by a guard you had to fight all of the Yiga at once. You were given the opportunity to fight, but with that many enemies at once, some damage is unavoidable.

This game already makes makes use of environmental events effecting elemental damage, so just expand that with combat. If its raining, then make enemies corner Link into a puddle, so they get a better opportunity to electrocute him. If there is a storm, then have a Lynel make use of his steel weapon to incapacitate Link with. If Link is trying to get high ground on a Guardian, then let the Guardian shoot down the tree he's climbing, or rocks on the ledge he's getting to.

Anyone know any interesting recipes?

I don't give a shit about efficiency. I want to fill my food inventory with extravagant and goofy shit

>Gerudo outfit can't be upgraded
Bullshit. It's almost like they don't want you to keep wearing it for the rest of the game.

>>172204129
The whole reason I went with the BotW map is so I could fill the empty space with various references from the rest of the series. Definitely going to be adding in a bunch of old enemies and boss monsters too.

And Zelda combat can be easy, but it's usually with bosses who have big glowing targets or easy patterns- with big enemies like darknuts and lynels and such, things get fucking tricky.

The problem is that some game devs actually believe this. This is what people call "artificial difficulty." I think semantically that's a bullshit term but it's definitely a bad thing- Difficulty that arises through trial-and-error, menu micromanagement or forced loss states (even minor ones). Difficult to avoid damage is good, unavoidable damage is bad.

Comparison to chess is completely inapplicable, because this is an action game (technically a single-unit RTS if you want to be fucking autistic about it), not a turn-based multi-unit strategy game. The way you frame your comparison is also deceptive- You can always save your king by predicting your opponent's moves and pre-empting them, taking their threatening pieces while forcing them to likewise waste turns defending their king. This is why white has only a negligible advantage over black.

The thing is, Zelda has been basically irrelevant since OOT. Not to say it's been bad, but since then the games have basically been clones of OOT while getting even easier and ignoring everything going on with game design outside of Nintendo.

With BOTW they said "OK, we're being fucking embarrassed by Dark Souls which was a game literally inspired by older Zeldas. How do we make a Zelda game that non-Nintendo fans want now?" and they looked outside of Nintendo for influences, likely in huge part due to Aonuma taking more of a back-seat and an influx of younger devs at Nintendo.

And so we have BOTW which, like Dark Souls, people are still going to be talking about as a groundbreaking title five, ten and fifteen years from now.

Not that Nintendo games have gotten bad, they've remained great games, it's just they're no longer showing other games how it's done and making non-Nintendo fans want their games.

The game may not really be that hard for us, but for your typical AAA-gargling dimwit it may as well be Ninja Gaiden. Go look on Google for how many articles either compliment or whine about it being "extremely hard" because they suck at any combat that doesn't bend over backwards to give them an easy win.

It needs to stagger so that it's hanks (? back end) are nearer to the ground if you want to mount it-- or jump into the air with Ravioli's Gale and land over it (kinda hard without stealth upgrades). Do note that you can't ride it- it bucks and while it bucks you need to keep hitting it for extra damage.

Horizon looks like a standard but good open world game that just happened to be unfortunate enough to come out at the same time as BOTW which trounces it in most open world design mechanics.

Going forward I think every open world game not already too far along in development is going to adopt the climbing mechanic and the ability to go anywhere from the start. Arbitrarily sliding down slopes and running into invisible walls sucks ass and BOTW shows that it's completely unnecessary.

Honestly if I could play it for free I probably wouldn't turn up the offer, and I wouldn't have even thought to compare it to BotW myself, but it really only seems to be better in one regard (graphics, though even then it suffers from the worst uncanny valley effect I've ever seen, which is embarrassing since so many games like uncharted 4 and witcher 3 have mostly gotten to the other side of the uncanny valley).

>>172206362
Cooking isn't always as difficult as people assume, and it can be surprisingly relaxing. You should try making something simple if you're interested.

>>172206109
So much of this game is too much like Dark Souls, Skyrim, Monster Hunter and Witcher 3 to be a coincidence, IMO.

I mean the way bosses work in this game is straight out of Dark Souls: you run into them often unexpectedly, they rise up, their giant health bar appears and the battle music starts playing. The opening part of the music even sounds like DS, though after that it goes in a very different direction.

Souls has become such an influential and popular game, and there have been so many people saying Dark Souls is the Zelda game they always wanted or that Zelda should be like DS in both the west AND Japan, I just couldn't imagine anyone being able to ignore it, aside from Aonuma.

I really wish it was easier to interview people from Nintendo other than the producers because I'd love to talk to the director of this game, who's gone on record about Zelda 1 being the best game ever made and what the series should go back to.

>>172206335
The Tomb Raider reboot getting good reception was what finally killed all my enthusiasm for modern games and this has been the first new game I've played since then, and Horizon just gives me too many vibes from that game for me to have any interest.

Adding a fairy to a recipe makes the fairy "help" the cooking and then fly off.

>>172206335
Its only uncanny because it has shit animations.

Botw has shit graphics that literally a PSX could replicate, but exaggerated animations that clearly indicate what's going on. From lightning strikes to heat waves, from focusing on an enemy and the background blurring (whether this is intentional or the wii u shitty specs is beyond me), when updrafts occur...everything in BotW while obviously done before is crafted specifically for that effect rather than simply for muh graphica.

>>172206513
Shit solz is a zelda game with all puzzles removed, all semblance of a story removed, and a sluggish as fuck player character.
To say BotW is shit solz like is to say that its Zelda like; as much is obvious.

But to say in meaning: remove the pre-boss cutscene in any zelda game and slap a healthbar and BAM youve got a boss encounter that is "like dark souls".

How do I see my total playtime on the switch? Would I have had to connect to the Internet once to make a user profile?

So...is it fair to say BotW is the Dark Souls of Zelda games?

>>172206458
Not him, but I find cooking is almost never worth the effort. You can get great food from a good restaurant and unless you practice for years you won't be able to produce something of similar quality for cheaper, you can get pretty average meals in frozen premade form for pretty cheap and they'll be done faster without prep time (even then a meal can take as much as an hour to make), and while some things that are fairly tasty and simple can or even have to be cooked very quickly (like omelettes) it's still more convenient to eat raw or smoked (hands-off) foods. I only ever think about cooking when I'm already hungry and cooking most things would take so long that by the time I was done I'd be shaking from hunger. I also have a very high metabolism though.

>>172206571
Dude the main character looks like a fucking monkey, like the top half of her head has been squeezed from the sides to two-thirds its original width. Ashley Burch also kind of looks like that irl though, maybe they partly modeled the character after her since she voices her??

BOTW is the Empire Strikes Back of Zelda games

>>172206803
The story in Dark Souls is told through the environment and context clues, and only a few cutscenes of exposition, like with Zelda.

With the bosses you ignored the fact that the bosses outside of the Phantom Ganons are not telegraphed and are encountered suddenly, and can kill you extremely quickly if you aren't careful and observant before trying to attack, and have multiple methods of taking down that are not telegraphed to you.

That said:
>>172206947
I think the game takes relatively little DIRECT influence from Dark Souls. Dark Souls takes heavy influence from Zelda 1, and I think BOTW looks at how successful and smart of an approach that was and also takes many of the things Dark Souls took from Zelda 1 that worked.

It's more of a response to Dark Souls rather than some attempt at copying it.

Like they looked at DS and said "How is this game getting so much more attention than us, when we invented everything it excels at?"

>>172207217
I think that's actually unintentional, Dragon's Dogma is more of a cult title that doesn't get much attention from developers, whereas every GDC and game design site is full of talk about Zelda 1 and Dark Souls to this day.

I don't know how much renown DD has in Japan, though. But I don't see any talk from western or the few Japanese developers who are open about game design ever even mention Dragon's Dogma.

I never played it, but your comparison of it to this game makes me want to give it a try.

To each his own, I suppose. Whatever works for you. I take a lot of enjoyment in cooking my own meals. I never make anything complicated, but I've learned to make even simple meals taste good, and they're quick to make and inexpensive since I look for good deals on ingredients.

Grilled chicken is good. A little seasoning and a low cost pack of chicken breasts and you've got dinner for a few days for less than the cost of a single restaurant run.

I think DD probably has more impact on JARPGs than you realise, given that the entire dev community for that seems to be a massive cross-company circlejerk. It's actually astounding that they've taken shit from Zelda without Nintendo taking shit from the other companies all these years, but the lineage basically goes Ocarina of Time -> Evergrace which then splits off into three branches of the family tree, Devil May Cry, Monster Hunter and Souls, and these reconverged with a dash of SotC to create the miracle that is Dragon's Dogma.

Sadly the game was never finished. It was a vision of incredible breadth and depth on the one hand, which rarely sees full realisation (even BotW shows the signs of this, in the underdeveloped Rito and Goron lines), and worse it was developed by Capcom, notorious for rushing titles out half-done, so the best we have for that is the expansion called Dark Arisen, which ditches the open world concept for a single huge dungeon more in-line with Dark Souls' map progression that is an extremely polished and complete experience with a real New Game+ and everything.

The major mechanical/gameplay differences between BotW and DD:
>while Link can climb on walls/rocks but not enemies, the Arisen can climb on enemies but not rocks/walls
>DD has a class system; Link's abilities are most like the assassin class in DD (even flurry rush is an assassin skill called escape onslaught, where you do a backhop followed by a weak forward lunge but if the backhop avoids an attack that would otherwise hit you it instead becomes a high-damage slowtime combo)
>DD has character creation, and small details like character weight and height can become big factors in gameplay
>BotW has a glider (though most classes have means of vertical travel and one class even has a quadruple jump, webm related)
>in DD you can pick up enemies smaller than you if you catch them unaware; you can pick up allies all the time
And that's pretty much it.

No. Dark Souls combat was partially inspired from proof of concept tier combat of OoT. Tbh I cringe when people compare Dark Souls to almost qny game that isn't Castlevania. They're basically those games but in 3D. Ironically, Symphony of the Night was apparently inspired by Zelda here and there so I guess it does come full circle.

Is the desert voe set actually any good?

Oh hey, a Zelda general. Just got done beating Breath of the Wild, 135 hours all up. What did the rest of you fags think of the game?

I really enjoyed my time with it, though I have a couple minor complaints that I'm sure aren't new to anyone here. Lack of meaningful rewards, particularly for Korok seeds, exploring shrines, finishing the compendium, etc. The game really blew its load giving you all the tools early - I get that this lets you explore the game in any order you want but I don't think locking off SOME non-story related areas would have been horrible. Or items that enhance your combat/movement abilities without being necessary to solve puzzles - I think you could throw the hookshot for example into the game currently without ruining anything. Lack of actual dungeons naturally, I assume this was a time constraint thing but I really would've loved to see them here. The Divine Beasts were incredible but it killed me that they were all over in 20 minutes tops. The enemy and fauna variety is a little lacking too, but it didn't bother me all that much. Oh, and Link is right-handed again but that's SS' fault.

Other than that, really enjoyed the game. Felt like a fucking adventure again and exploring for the sake of exploring was immensely fun. The first 20 or so hours of the game when everything was new and unknown and enemies were deadly were fucking incredible. I think the combat system has a lot of potential to be expanded upon but there were a lot of really enjoyable fights in the early game before everything is trivialised by the awkward way armour works. Visiting towns and exploring each section of the map was probably the highlight of the game for me though.

>Need to climb a huge mountain in Farron

Fucking christ. Maybe I'll fucking climb it tomorrow. This is why the Zora Tunic is useful. Maybe I should go get it

Imagine if they made a Mario game where Mario shaved his mustache. It wouldn't affect the game in anyway, but everyone would bitch and gripe that it isn't Mario without it.

It's a small detail, but Link was created to be left handed, and it's considered an iconic detail.

>>172208845
Is that without clothes?

I have Champion's Tunic upgraded on and it seems to shave off about 6-8 hearts per blast. I can see Naked Link being spared a quarter of a heart as a last ditch effort but I do think I've encountered a time where a direct blast still killed me, despite full health and all.

>>172208651
>Lack of meaningful rewards
Didn't mind this much. It's all about that emergent gameplay, discovering shit is the reward. Gaining new abilities and shit has always felt kinda artificial to me as a reward, I like purer gameplay. That said, champion powers are the equivalent, though the only one that's fun and not some form of "win button" is revali's gale and you can just drop four wood and wave a fire weapon for a very similar effect.

>The enemy and fauna variety is a little lacking too
yeah this seems to be the consensus. It's almost weird that even classic enemies like darknuts, ropes, like-likes and gibdos don't appear, when most of them would work so well with this game. I'd guess this is another result of time constraints, clearly most of their time went into making the huge world highly detailed and appealing to look at and cooking up mechanics that are conducive to emergent gameplay.

So people say the soundtrack sucks. Fine.

Which track did you enjoy the most? Appart from Hateno Village, Molduga, and Hyrule Castle?

>>172208418
Looks wise, your mileage will vary.

It provides heat resistance and shock resistance when worn as a set and improved. In general, there aren't a lot of places where you need level three heat resistance, and the Rubber Suit gives electrical resistance plus immunity to electrocution.

If you don't have other armors yet, it works okay. Otherwise, you're better off using food or elemental weapons to regulate your heat, or get the sapphire circlet for heat resist if you really need it.

I agree with the hookshot (I think a grappling hook at that provides rope swings and doubles as a whip would be more unique and fun gameplay wise though) and some optional power ups would've helped. However, I get why they gave the runes out early on. In a game that's relatively cryptic by today's standards a lot of players would get frustrated over putting in the work to find a shrine but having no means to solve it yet. I personally could handle that but it would undeniably slow the pacing to a crawl and people already bitch about losing some temporary tools (weapons) as it is. It was kind of an unavoidable thing. I think a hybrid system of expanded weapon moves like in TP combined with the collectibles you needed to unlock the Hurricane Spin in WW would have been a good substitute.

What i mean is that, at full health, even if the blast technically would have killed you it will not instead leaving ypu with qiarter heart. Its basically the second chance ability from Kingdom Hearts.

I agree, to a point. As I said, exploring for the sake of exploring was great fun, I really enjoyed checking out every corner of the map. I really stopped giving a shit about Korok seeds after 300 or so though, as they provide absolutely no benefit. Same thing with filling the compendium - I took photos of absolutely everything throughout my playthrough only to realise doing so was utterly pointless. Even shrines, to a point. Once you have enough stamina/hearts the incentive wears off a little bit - I still did them all, of course but the excitement was gone for the last few.

>It's almost weird that even classic enemies like darknuts, ropes, like-likes and gibdos don't appear, when most of them would work so well with this game.
It's a real shame, because the enemies and wildlife we do have are incredibly charming and have a lot of personality. Things like Moblins throwing bokoblins and the way wolves attack you in packs were fantastic, they really help the game feel like it has a natural ecosystem. It's just that again, towards the last stages of the game it's sort of all the same shit except every enemy is silver now and takes half your weapon stock to kill.

Bow slowdown should last one second including draw time and use half your stamina bar. Maybe have it increase by .5 seconds per full stamina wheel as well.
Also you should be able to move around your weapons in your inventory to form a sort of queue that automatically pulls out the next weapon/arrow when you re-tap the button, so as to keep up the flow of combat.

It's a great soundtrack. People were expecting a big bombastic, thematic soundtrack because it's Zelda but this game is all about bringing the series up to modern standards, and modern games have more understated soundtracks.

They know you're going to spend hours out in the wilderness so having one repeating song is going to be really fucking annoying. Towns where you're only in temporarily have the familiar thematic music.

I hope someone tries to mod it to use Twilight Princess music in the fields so people would get to see how badly such music fits with this game's direction.

I think the only song that doesn't work is the boss theme that plays for Hinoxes and Taluses, and I'm not a fan of Goron City's theme.

Hateno, Kakariko, Gerudo Town, Kass's Song, Hyrule Castle, the Guardian music, Rito Village and Akkala Lab are all amazing Zelda-esque songs, and the horse riding music is beautiful and atmospheric.

Compare this soundtrack with Red Dead Redemption's and the Witcher 3's and you'll see what it was going for. Everyone praises those soundtracks for the very things they're shitting on Zelda's for and I think that exemplifies what's been wrong with the Zelda franchise and Zelda fans for the last 20 years.

I pity you.

But really, I'm glad you don't have to find ALL the koroks just due to the nature of some of them. The tree fruit ones in particular I know I would've never figured out on my own, and with the pretty fucking small area most are active in within such a large world, it would get really tedious and frustrating fast.. Factor in children and casuals and it makes sense from a design standpoint to to relegate it to a sort of soft time-gate for inventory slots.

like i'm not against the idea of it. i think the idea of having more ambient music to play throughout the world while you're exploring is totally fine but there's just not enough. you end up hearing the same tracks over and over for each type of area and they're short tracks that just loop anyway so it's pretty much exactly the same as the other games, only now it's not as memorable

i like what dragon's dogma does with its "understated" music. when you enter an area, a song plays. then it ends. this way it can be as thematic as they want it to be and it never really gets annoying.

>>172211741
I do wish that the lighter wooden shields would let you skip across water if you gained enough speed beforehand. Other than that, I would've liked to see a lasso type weapon that you could use to drag things behind your horse or to tie yourself to your horse via seal-surfing.

I did look a few months back to find a good control scheme for it on Dolphin, but even the most used one was really annoyingly convoluted. It had to use modifiers and all kinds of shit just to emulate most attacks. It was a clusterfuck and I quit playing because of it.

In the remake it would be easier if it were designed from the ground up around simpler controls, but they'd have to cut out a lot of the possible moves if you weren't playing with the Joycons.

>>172212071
Precisely. Part of the design philosophy of the game is to emulate the feeling from Zelda 1 of there being a secret on every screen. They're meant to be discovered organically by being observant and noticing little irregularities in the environment.

I really dislike the displacing of the Goddesses in Hyrule religion since SS.

Before we had three interesting figures linked to courage, strength and wisdom. Now we have the generic winged 2cute4me goddess.

I would have no issues with Hylia if the worship of the three goddesses persisted somewhere in the world, but it seems BoTW has totally forgotten their existence. There's the three Wisdom/Strength/Courage ponds, and that's all.

There's the provinces and dragons both named after them, there's the three Great Fairies minus the Fairy Queen themed after them.

>>172214683
It's the influence of the dominant cult. The Triforce was a gift from the Goddesses of creation to the mortals. Divine beings are not allowed to touch it. In BotW's Hyrule, this precious gift is forgotten.

This is highly speculative, but I blame the Sheikah. They are Hylia's eyes, a tribe cursed to eternal servitude. They're not even her favored race, yet they revere her like no one else. When they had their big moment 10100 years ago, they brought back the cult, which might have brought HER back.

It's a change of focus. To a mortal Hylia, all that mattered was the gift and the Goddesses above her, so her kingdom had to worship those too. This was the focus as long as the knowledge remained. Long after the line of Zelda forgot, the Sheikah remembered. But their idol is Hylia, not those above her or their gift.
