Glad to hear you're liking it.
I started it myself like couple months ago, and beat it for the first time last week. I must've easily clocked over 100 hours at that point, and while I was quite a systematic little adventurer, I'm still missing tons of stuff.

I actually went to fight Ganon for the first time long before I'd even taken down a single Divine. It was truly an epic, frightening yet intriguing ride, and I actually almost got it as well - but my underleveled gear and lack of experience did result my ultimate downfall in the end.
And that's just one of the many tales I could tell. I actually ventured to West first when I got my paraglider, and didn't meet a single friendly NPC before something like 20h into the game! And I was butt naked with only the worn clothes on me.

Been watching my wife play it for a while now, and it's just amazing how different our experiences have been so far. The game is brilliantly constructed, with tons of content to experience, but nothing is ever pushed down your throat.

Anyway, I'd be careful with these threads OP. I auto-blocked all BotW & Zelda related threads on 4chan for several months just to avoid spoilers, and it was worth it.

Which one?
And don't give up too early. The beasts have some of the best map designs in the series' history. Remember to always check the Map Menu's special functions of the dungeon.

>>382325116
In the camp on the way to Goron town you can trade 10 lizards for a piece of heat-resistant armor.

>>382324392
You're doing the right thing, Zora domain is probably the best devine beast to tackle first. My advice is to soak the game in at a leasurely pace, people who rush the game seem to enjoy it less.

>>382325116
buying fireproof elixers and then getting the armor from that guy in the mines

>>382325116
Fire potions.
People all around the mountain sell and yell you to get some. Namely at the Stable, where this chick can give you unlimited numbers of them.

After that, there's a quest for an NPC that grants you a piece of fire-suit.

I am not much further and I've started it when it came out. I guess I really suck at playing video games or I am busy with other stuff in the game. The Zora domain part really made me cry. I thought it was fucking beautiful and it touched me a lot and I wanted to talk to someone about it since it happened. SHE DID LOVE HIM! She made the dress for Link! But how can a fish being and a human like creature have sex and what not also what about Zelda? I thought she was Links love interested?

>>382325116
In the mine someone exchanges you armor for lizards and in the stable a chick sells you elixirs cheap

I meant the one in Zora domain. I'm literally not even 2 minutes into the dungeon and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with getting the ball to stay in place after I hit it using the stasis rune.

>>382325302
I probably have more free time than you do (two weeks off work and nothing else to do except play vidja). I think I have 30 hours clocked in, a lot of that time was just exploring the world at my own pace though.

Should I tackle Rito or Goron next?

The game really shines most when you first explore the world with shitty equipment and low hearts/stamina.

Any advice?

I wanted wings so after Zora I went Rito/Gerudo/Goron.

Why does everyone start with Zora? Because it's the closest? I tried to go to Rito first but those Guardians in Hyrule Field made me shit my pants and run.

and then it turns out i have to pay attention to which way the fucking NIGGER WIND is blowing the flames

To be honest it had me stumped too. Usually nearby stables are a good source of gossip and rumours so I headed back down the trail to woodland stable. The old there mentioned that the wind in the forest scared the shit out him so I headed back and immediately noticed what I needed to do. Shit felt great.

I saw a tower that I wanted to claim so I went in that direction but discovered I could not take my horse there from Kakariko no matter where or how I attempted to reach that area - I spent more than an hour riding around trying to find a path that would let me bring my horse there.

After I eventually glided down there I was distracted by a swampy area for awhile until I saw a pillar with a chest and started walking towards it when I suddenly heard singing.

Examining the pond around this pillar I realized a cute red zora girl was just swimming around and singing to herself, and she eventually told me that the Prince of the Zora was looking for a warrior and pointed me towards that tower that I originally wanted to go to anyway.

So from there I knew the Zora was gonna be my first destination.

The Lost Woods is a staple of the Zelda series. It's in a lot of the games. You have to follow a certain path. Each game uses the woods differently but the idea is the same. In OoT for example, you have to follow the sound of the music.

I actually like the shitty Master Sword. It's a holy blade, so it makes sense that it would possess some manner of pride and chivalry to make you follow the finicky path of a paladin instead of slaying weak grunts all day.

uh....I think the hard mode assumes you already know what you're doing from the base game, which is already hard as shit at first.

Go ahead and try but god damn.
Non-completionist playthroughs where people still take their time and explore usually clock at a minimum of 80 hours.
On hard mode I can't even imagine.

>>382327723
I think it's going to be a 5-part DLC which shows the fall of the champions, you control each champion as you try to fight the Blights and lose, until you then play as Zelda and have to try and seal Ganon.
Note: This isn't what I want but I can imagine Nintendo being lazy and doing something like this.

I already noticed that guardian A.I. is a little different too; they'll mix up the firing speed on their lasers to try to throw the timing of your parries.

>>382327957
They are not going to do anything having you play as another character ever. God /v/ can be retarded sometimes.

>>382328057
>No worries lads, I got this.

Dude, you are going to deal with end-game enemies with regenerating health right when you step out of the starting cave. You are going to get pissed and stop playing because of how bullshit it is going to be.

Just start with normal, the progression of more powerful enemies is more fun and you won't have to deal with enemies having regen health. Plus you'll get one-shot on Normal mode until you upgrade decent armor and get more hearts. If you start on hard, you're going to get one shot killed for probably the first quarter of the game.

>>382328247
Is it wrong that I would enjoy that?

>>382328452
You can sort of cheese them by timing your dodges and parries.

All bets are off if you fight them legitimately though, they are much faster and stronger than you. Bring lots and lots of healing items.

>>382328191
I thought you couldnt toggle it and you needed to start a new file to play on hard

>>382328192
Is it true that guardians have a melee attack now

>>382327723
>>382327840

Nintendo aren't going to create entire models and animation cycles for 5 whole main characters, that's insane.

The more likely focus for the dlc gets hinted at once you unlock the true ending of the game Zelda tells you that Vah Ruta has stopped working and you should both go and check it out.

>>382324392
The Zora domain is one of the best crafted parts of the game, actually. Introduced a new way to traverse the world with the Zora mail, have someone you should actually care about for a champion, and the challenge to make it to the Zora domain is pretty difficult if you do it first like I did.
They managed to organically prevent climbing for the most part, but still allowed you to sneak around if you kept your stamina up.
I was a retard and didn't know that you could cryonis the ice blocks being thrown at you during the fight against elephant and ganon. The lynel part was also alright, had a sense of foreboding where you knew that it was something not to be messed with.

>>382328645
No fucking way

>>382328516
No you just select it from the title screen. You can turn it on and off as you please.

I started the game tonight and went straight into master mode. I'm 7 hours into it and I just left the first area right after you get the fly thing I'm liking it a lot, game seems really massive.

Dual wielding is a meme popularized by american action movies, nobody fucking wielded two swords/maces whatever in medieval combat, its retarded, it does not help you

>>382329676
Shouldn't I have the freedom to play the game however I want? Why are you so extremely defensive about this game? Is it so impossible for you to imagine someone wants to dual wield and firmly dislikes the fact that the game doesn't let him?

Dear lord you just can't get enough, is it? Why didn't nintendo add the possibility to use a sword in each hand? That's all I wanted for the game, but they didn't add it. It's how I like to play in an RPG and since it's lacking I'm no longer compelled to play the game.

Are there any other games on the Switch besides this?

I want to play this so badly but can't justify buying the Switch just for Zelda.

im going to start now my first playthrough, i think im going to buy the DLC and start directly on hard mode master quest

What, you don't want Mario? It's not going be any cheaper in 4 months, Nintendo are real fucking faggots when it comes to price drops, so you might as well get it now.

>>382330193
Just wait for CEMU or Switch Pro/Plus/revisioned or get a Wii U for chea, it's not worth the price. My Switch is gathering dust after I beat BotW (40 hours, since I'm not autistic I skipped the korok """"""puzzles""""""). And the screen(protector) is scratched because of the crappy dock. It's also a little bit bended. Crappy hardware, literally no games.

>Take a break from BotW
>Play Persona 5 and FF 15
>Want to get back to playing BotW

So this is my life now.

>>382324392

>Scratches

Kill your cat.

I'm probably a good 25-30 hours into the game. I have beaten all Divine Beasts, but not Ganon yet. I'm legit not running into as many Koroks as I think I should be. I've unlocked every map sector, at maybe 60 shrines done, and been doing tons of sidequests. I don't get how people day they beat the game and have 500 korok seeds, I'm not finding shit.

Ways I have found them:
Under a rock
Under the big slab
Jumping into lily pads
Throwing a rock into ring of rocks
Placing a rock into circle of rocks
Target practice
Time trial running

These ones are all super obvious on the landscape and I have no idea how I'm missing so many.

>>382330614
Same boat as this guy. Huge buyers remorse. Zelda was also a disappointment to be honest.

No dungeons + no enemy variety = fuck that god damn gutter garbage game.

>>382330809
Just ignore them. Its a shitty, lazy gimmick to give an illusion of content in an empty world. They literally just copy/pasted seven different blocks of code at random. Absolute slap in the face.

Again you disprove yourself with pictures. Since the scratches are only on one side you've been grinding the screen against the dock. Why would you do that? That's the same as grinding a DVD against the player when putting it in.

I really didn't like the voice acting for the Deku Tree. Or any of the other bits. I wish they hadn't bothered with voices at all, but it's so little that I'll survive.

I see nintendoddlers still need their safe space

Fact 1:
The Nintendo Switch console is an overpriced piece of trash that is built as cheaply as possible and feels like it.

Fact 2:
Breath of the Wild is one of the most overrated games of all time. It needed another two years in development. It needed more enemy variety. It needed dungeons. It needed less bloat and more real, solid, quality content.

Fact 3:
This board is home to some of the most pathetic human beings on the planet: People who will blindly and desperately defend current-day Nintendo. Imagine someone being raped viciously and aggressively while loudly and obnoxiously defending their rapist to a crowd of onlookers: "HE'S ACTUALLY NOT RAPING ME I'M ENJOYING IT!"

the others can (savescumming)
Have I lost epona for good?

It's literally not rape if you're consenting.

So is Master Quest any good? I know that it partially takes a damage sponge approach but at least it forces you to prepare for battle and to sneak to get a head start, whereas taking the time to prepare in the regular game just makes easy even easier.

I'm kinda short on money so I feel like it's not worth it, but I've been wanting to replay it.

it's the cheapest console on release this gen tho...

>>382333339
That is your personal evaluation. There is no factual basis for MSRP just what people will pay. They factor is cost of manufacturing, R&D, and of course some profit margin. So it's still your own mad opinion.

>>382333438
Not if you want a controller to actually play and a MANDATORY screenprotector

>>382333205
Cosmetic is the word used to describe visual blemished of minor importance on products, anon.

And yes, many of them do still detract from the resale price.

The fact of the matter is that the scratches don't hinder the system from fucntioning normally.

>>382333438
But is built with $20 worth of scrap parts that Shiggy dumpster dives for

>>382333510
It does come with controllers and screen protectors cost less than five bucks

>>382333339
It's not overpriced.

Cry some more kiddie.

>>382332794
Yeah the voicework is pretty ho-hum.
Keep getting all the memories though, there's a certain character's progression that makes for a surprisingly endearing character. Sometimes their voicework gets in the way of it, but the writing still shines through.

What if I told you that somewhere in that vast gameworld is a document detailing the exact reason Link doesn't talk?

>>382333510
The JoyCons are great! :)

and a screen protector is 10 bux dude, get a job

So CEMU 1.8.1 just released publicly. You guys updated yet? How does it run compared to 1.8.0?

Nope you're good. Epona can come at any time.

What did you use to spoof amiibo?

Been using this for nearly 4 months now - You can tell by the fat fingerprints. Not a scratch anywhere.

That other anon can't show you his PS4 because it's unrecognizable. Probably used his Switch for batting practice.

>>382333653
SAD

>>382333636
Yet, how come the only pictures I see in this thread are scratched switches? I still haven't seen one (1) pic of an anon with a non-scratched switch.

>>382333272
I got Epona on my first, ~60th and ~200th scans.
I couldn't board Spina the first two times because I was on The Plateau and atop a small cliff in Zora's Domain.

Let that be a lesson - scan your fucking amiibos on solid ground and preferably near a stable!

>>382333850
oof so close...

>>382325116
In the stable near the base of the mountain, a lady talks to you about fireproof potions and how to make them, then sells you bunches of 3. You can also get fireproof potions from saving the Goron walking the roads of Akkala.

Then you use your fireproof potions to get to the mining camp where a Hylian gives you a quest to catch him 10 fireproof lizards (there's a bajillion of them around the camp), and he gives you a free piece of Goron armor so you don't have to worry about running out of potions on your way to Goron village.

... but I found all of that AFTER I ran my ass to the armor shop by spamming food in my mouth

>>382333753
the joycons are perfectly fine and the pro controller is barely bigger

well I have one too and I love it.

>>382333809


Also, why would people just post pictures of a not scratched Switch? What would that prove?

It's almost like posting pictures of scratched ones doesn't prove anything either.

What the fuck are you on about? The Master Sword is legit the best weapon in the game
>Infinitely replenishing mining/wood cutting/stasis bouldering tool that doesn't waste your other weapons
>Infinitely replenishing trash mob mower
>Absolutely fucking destroys every boss in the game and chops up all Guardians like a hot knife through butter
>Again, INFINITELY REPLENISHING meaning you're gonna save an assload of ressources

>>382333929
Well then hurry up and make all the money back by reselling it while it's out of stock you doofus.

BotW is a pretty good game. Amazing how other Game of the Year "contenders" like HZD and Persona 5 stopped getting threads less than a month after they came out.

>a Hylian gives you a quest to catch him 10 fireproof lizards (there's a bajillion of them around the camp), and he gives you a free piece of Goron armor
I fucking KNEW that armor was overpriced for a reason!
I cleared all 120 shrines but never found this guy, god dammit

kek

>>382333796
>What did you use to spoof amiibo?
I bought NFC215 tags of ebay for like £5
Downloaded the amiibo bin files, installed a write NFC software on my android phone and wrote the tags with the amiibos.
Easy peezy.
google it

Anyone have any tips for the Rito beast? Just started the quest and Link keeps freezing his ass off despite me shelling out 600 rupees for cold resistant armor

>>382334161
Did you buy all the pieces? Any elixirs?

>>382325323
This is what you were supposed to do. Nothing impressive.
How the fuck do you guys play this game? Are you all boring as shit or something?

My day one non scratched switch.

>>382334161
You need at least two pieces of the armour for complete cold resistance. There are two levels of cold: mildly cold (like on Mt. Hylia) and super cold (like in the Tabantha/Hebra region)

Walking straight up to the mafia is the coolest thing anyone has ever done in SMT. Too bad Nuclear is shit.

>>382329913
You have the freedom to play the game however you want within the confines of its rules and mechanics. I'm not defending or applauding its absence, I'm just saying you come off as an entitled complaining about something that has never been shown or mentioned as being a possible game feature.

It's like saying a car simulation racing game is shit because growing wings still isn't viable. It's a valid opinion, I guess, but why would you expect it in the first place?
