Is there any way to actually save miiverse screenshots on the Wii U at full resolution?

How do I farm star fragments without sitting on top of a hill all night and looking around. I already got one from a quest and I think I need 2 more for the final upgrade on my guardian clothes

>>171695332

>>171695390
WhiteMane and Silver Lynels can drop em.

I know the guide doesn't mention that they do but they do.

The Zelda and Dorf amiibos can also drop em but be ready to save scum HARD if going that route to the point you might as well just do the stargazing instead.

I really hope the DLC can't be started at any point in the game like how it is in TES, because that would automatically rule out anything that takes place before or after the main story.

>>171695703

Either that or find one using the halberd, they're free.

There's no point in respawning all the monsters if there isn't a lot to respawn.

>>171696121
I don't think they could really do anything after the main story due to the way the game's designed. What would happen if you kill Ganon while the divine beasts are still corrupted?

>>171696204

0) Equip a 2 handed weapon that can SPIN 2 WIN and Barbarian Armor and eat Defense food (Or use fully Upgraded Ancient with Ancient/Guardian++ Axe and attack up food)
1) Raviolis Gale to approach, do the Midair snipe to unleash headshots, stasis and start charging a attack
2) URBOSA FURY stun and then stasis.
3) SPIN 2 WIN
4) URBOSA FURY one he stands up and then Stasis
5) SPIN 2WIN
6) URBOSA FURY one he stands up and then Stasis
7) SPIN 2WIN
8) URBOSA FURY one he stands up and then Stasis

12) DARUKS PROTECTION
13) SLASHAN 4 EVER
14) DARUKS PROTECTION
15) SHOVE THAT LIZALFOZ BOOMERANG UP THE LYNEL BUM
16) Shit should be dead now or earlier, if not dead Raviolis gale and use arrows for the final bit of life and get a last stun in and murder more until it is.

Oaki is adorable and if you managed to fail the stealth segment you're bad at video games. Just stay off to the side and have a general idea of where he is, it's impossible to get caught unless you constantly stay right behind him.

can you even reliably use a bow on their back? It's a pain enough just running around behind them with them turning just as fast as you can run (usually have to sprint or stasis+ just to get to their back)

Also, don't run around them. Run through the gap between the body and the arm.

They'll faceplant to get new arms from the ground giving you time to shot them easily.

I figured it was Fort Hateno, but it's still a shitty fucking thing to do. The end in general is sloppy. The memories quest is a little messy and the finale really needed to have even just a doorway that needed to be opened. I literally stumbled into it. I figured no way I would be able to accidentally FIGHT Ganon. I was wrong.

For True Ending:
>Have to explore most of the castle and get to within inches of the final boss to get one of the last memories

What a sloppy mess. The 13th memory should have been inside Hyrule Castle. I get that they wanted the "final" one to be the dramatic one, but the placement is fucking garbage.

Maybe you should have realized that the castle isn't as ending only as you thought, retard. You can go there as soon as you're off the plateau, and several quests involve going inside to loot things, including a shrine, and since you said you did all 120, you MUST have already been there at least once.

But it doesn't change how dumb it is. It's especially dumb that I had to go fetch yet another thing after getting all the rest. They really should have just triggered the final memory in Impah's house as a result of viewing the photo or something. Being "rewarded" for finishing a task by having another step tacked on it irritating as fuck

I didn't think that. I think that placing what will commonly be the final memory or even any memories at all within the confine of the castle is retarded because of how it can shatter your momentum in the way I described. They could have had her argument with the King take place in Castle Town.

>>171702270

>>171702767
There's no bullshit here. That shrine was my final shrine. It's also at the very bottom and nowhere near Ganon. Meanwhile, the memory is within fucking gliding distance from Ganon's room.

>>171702681
If you're literally just doing the memories as a checklist before fighting the final boss, then sure, you have to go to the castle, find the memory, warp out, go to kakariko, finish the final final memory, then go BACK to the castle for the boss.

OR you could be in the castle rummaging for a cookbook, stumbling on the Hylian shield AND the memory in the process, leave an hour later after you've continued to do a shitload of exploring there, and go about your adventure. Eventually you'll have found the other 7 memories you hadn't tracked down yet, go back to Impa and get the final final one, then once again go off on an adventure for several hours before finally returning to the castle to take on Ganon.

You're seemingly glued to this concept that the memories must be completed as the final thing you do right before the final fight. Even though you get the questline at the exact same time as you get the one for the divine beasts. YOU chose to get that memory last, and it's YOUR fault that you had to run in and out of Hyrule castle at the very end. I got that memory 20 hours in, and now I'm at 150 hours and haven't been in the castle in like a week. This game doesn't hold your hand with the pacing of the quests, it leaves that up to you.

Why the fuck would I want to explore the castle before I'm ready to kill Ganon? Those sidequests are just on my list of "for later" after I've explored the castle.

Like seriously. Why would I go in and spoil my endgame experience just to fulfill a shitty sidequest with a reward that we both know couldn't possibly be more than a diamond or something? Does that makes sense to you?


>You're seemingly glued to this concept that the memories must be completed as the final thing
No, that's your retarded and completely idiot interpretation. I had most of the memories hunted down AGES ago. I just left the castle one until last since I had no intention of breaching the walls until I was done with everything else. Even if you're not leaving it for last, it's fucking moronic that any sort of "main quest" objective is THAT close to Ganon. Like, why wouldn't you just go ahead and kill him right then and there if you've already gotten all the way to his doorstep?

It's dumb. No matter how slice it, you have to do dumb shit like turn around and walk away from the end of the game.

>>171702270
>Have to explore most of the castle and get to within inches of the final boss to get one of the last memories

To be honest I didn't realize how close it was to Ganon because I used Revali's gale at the top of one of the spires outside the castle to fly into Zelda's study, then teleported out.

Not everyone takes the main gate route, anon.

The end boss is unfulfilling compared to everything else in the game you might as well just tick it off to have it done.
That way you get the percentage counter added to your map.

>>171703526
You're the one who chose to play the game in a specific way, then are blaming the way that you played the game for being anticlimactic when that's a problem you created because of your playstyle. There's a dozen reasons to explore the castle early for quests, koroks, items, shrine, and specifically to get the memory. I myself went there early because of those things. You're the one who wanted a big final showdown, you could've just ignored the memory and completed it, especially since you didn't seem to have a problem ignoring every other incentive to go there. You're blaming the game for a problem created by your very specific playstyle.

>Now you're saying the castle IS something you thought should only be explored at the end

Make up your mind on what stupid thing you did already. The castle is just a place on the map, to be explored whenever you feel like it, with quests and goodies inside that can be used during the main game. It is clearly not intended to be a place you only go to when you're ready to fight Ganon. It is entirely your own fault for deciding to treat it as such, and then getting butthurt that the game put things there.

Your literal argument is that you're mad the game put content inside the castle, because you wanted the castle to be the last thing you did. Which is fine if you did, but then bitching that the game isn't set up like that is retarded. It's like saying you're pissed that you have to talk to npcs to buy things or upgrade inventory slots because YOU chose to do a run of the game where you don't interact with NPCs. You invented an arbitrary rule for your playthrough, and are blaming the game for that inconveniencing you

>>171703479

>>171704002
>especially since you didn't seem to have a problem ignoring every other incentive to go there
There are NO quests worth going in there. Had there been a series of quests where you needed to go in there and the reward was something like an armor set or something? Even a minigame? SURE! GREAT! But we both know, that 90% of the minor quests in this have shit and fuckall for rewards.

>>171704151
>Now you're saying the castle IS something you thought should only be explored at the end
Yes. Where's the contradiction again?
>The castle is just a place on the map, to be explored whenever you feel like it
Irrelevant. just because you can CHOOSE to rush the final castle doesn't mean you're meant to.
> It is clearly not intended to be a place you only go to when you're ready to fight Ganon. It is entirely your own fault for deciding to treat it as such, and then getting butthurt that the game put things there.
I don't mind there being stuff there. I mind that a main quest item is literally within shouting distance of the final boss.

That's indefensible. I'm astounded you think it's okay. The memory being in Hyrule Castle? Debatable. Being right next to Ganon? Fuck no. You're way too caught up trying to fault my playstyle rather than looking at the objective reality; a main quest item needed for the true end is found right next to the trigger for the final boss. It's dumb as fuck. No matter what my intentions or the game's intentions were, they asked me to turn around and walk away from the final boss. That's fucking dumb. Full stop. There's no reason why they should want me to get right up to the final boss and then walk away like that. It's shit design and the memory quest finale is shit design too.

The castle memory should have been a long ways away from Ganon if it had to be a "castle" memory.

Not every sidequest has to be exciting

>>171704550
>Maybe you should have realized that the castle isn't as ending only as you thought,

I didn't think that.

That's you quoting me and then responding. You literally denied thinking the castle is the end of the game. Then a post later you say it is. Contradiction.

The memory isn't "Right next to Ganon". It's an entire floor below the staircase that leads into his chamber. And if you're not retarded and you reference the image, you can clearly see that the actual castle is IN THE IMAGE, meaning that you should KNOW that the memory is not inside the castle (can't take a picture of the outside of a building from inside it). If you went into the giant spire in the middle while searching for that image, you're a retard.

The game also lets you walk right up to the master sword from the start, but you can't pull it until you have enough hearts. You can also beat the game without doing any dungeons. This game is free form. You continue to get ass blasted that the game doesn't hold your hand and make sure you do all there is to do before getting to the castle.

You're not MEANT to do anything in this game, that's the fucking point. You're not MEANT to rush the castle at the start, and you're not MEANT to save it for the very end. The choice is yours. The game was clearly designed with the intent of having players exploring the castle BEFORE their final assault on Ganon. They added quests that take you there, a main quest with an objective in there, a shrine in there, koroks in there, and other NPCs that tell you there's awesome loot inside and debate going there themselves. Once again YOU MADE THE CHOICE to save it for the end, which is FINE. Because that is your choice. But to then CHASTISE the game for YOUR decision is retarded. The game wants you to go there just like it wants you to go everywhere else, and when YOU CHOOSE to go there last, you're bound to find shit that you would have been better off finding sooner.

>>171704986
If the cost of the quest is spoiling my finale by exploring the final dungeon early, it's not likely to be worth it.

Are there any stronger trials than the "major test of strength"?

>>171704135

>>171705243
That's why they made Hyrule Castle so incomprehensibly large you probably need to explore it multiple times to find everything.
That's why they put side quests into it.

>>171705264
There's one "mammoth test of strength"

>>171704550
>Yes. Where's the contradiction again?

Because you're saying you were only going to do the castle at the very end, but that you also wanted to do the memories at the very end, when you know for a fact that A) one of the memories is in the castle and B) you have to return to impa to complete the quest (even ignoring the surprise final memory), meaning you would HAVE to enter hyrule castle and leave at some point. The two are contradictory, you can't say "I'm doing the castle last" and "I'm doing the memories last" for the very reasons you've pointed out, and anyone with a brain would've realized this.

>Irrelevant. just because you can CHOOSE to rush the final castle doesn't mean you're meant to.

You have absolute freedom in this game. You aren't 'meant' to do anything. You are meant to do the castle whenever you want.

> I mind that a main quest item is literally within shouting distance of the final boss.

It's completely optional. Don't like it? Just fight ganon and don't get it.


>There's no reason why they should want me to get right up to the final boss and then walk away like that. It's shit design and the memory quest finale is shit design too.

You're making a flawed assumption about developer intent. They didn't 'want' you to do anything. They don't care what you do, or when, that's the whole point, you can beat ganon in 40 minutes. And, again, you don't HAVE to turn away and leave. If you really wanted to, you could've just done it then. It breaks game flow because you decided to play it in a way that broke game flow. In my playthrough, for example, I did the memories first, so it was fantastic for me, because I got to try sneaking around hyrule castle dodging everything, then I got to come back and smash through the front doors and kill everything. It's all about playstyle, and you chose to play in a way that made your experience less enjoyable for you because you didn't actually think about the consequences it would have.

>>171705264
Not inside the shrines themselves, no. There are several quests that are just a treasure and a monk, that require overworld puzzles to be solved, however. Some of these challenges are pretty tough or otherwise engaging. Usually the ones involving guardians. There's also the nudist island where you must fight a hinox with no armor, limited health restoratives and shitty weapons. But there are ways to cheese him, and you technically don't need to kill him, just get the orb off his neck.

>>171704550
>But we both know, that 90% of the minor quests in this have shit and fuckall for rewards.
In keeping with the theme of the game, which is that the journey is more important than the destination. The quests that send you there let you know that, yeah, you can go into hyrule castle super early and might even be able to avoid getting your ass kicked long enough to find some hidden shit. The actual reward is in the form of the weapons and shield you find inside, and the experience of skulking around the castle early on when you're weak.

>>171705404
WHERE

>>171705230
>You literally denied thinking the castle is the end of the game
Because I know it's not. I know you can go there early.
>Then a post later you say it is
A post later I say anything right within the immediate area surrounding Ganon's Room is. Asking me to go THAT close to the final boss just to turn around it retarded in the extreme.
>The memory isn't "Right next to Ganon". It's an entire floor below the staircase that leads into his chamber
Go there right now. Use Revali's Gale on the big staircase with the golden birds. You can glide to that memory in less than 10 seconds probably. Anyways, the location in a vacuum isn't a sound argument. You're gonna have to stomp all over the castle grounds to find it. During which time it's extremely likely you'll find the Sanctum and maybe even trigger Ganon.

>all these deflections
Holy shit. Literally didn't even bother to read it all because you're rambling blindly about nothing. You have yet to address the core issue. The placement of a main quest item in relation to the final boss.

The game put a requirement for the true end right next to the final boss. That would be just fine if you could simply collect the item and get the true end. But you can't. You have to walk away from the final boss to either go collect more items or go talk to an old lady. It's dumb and you cannot defend that.

> you're bound to find shit that you would have been better off finding sooner.
Okay so I skimmed your post a little and ran across this nonsense. You're SO fucking stupid. I don't give a fuck WHEN I get it. I give a fuck WHERE I get it.

>>171705413
>Because you're saying you were only going to do the castle at the very end, but that you also wanted to do the memories at the very end
But that's not what I said. I said I was leaving the castle for last and as a result, left the memory that's found there for last too. But that has NO bearing on the retarded design of putting a true ending requirement that close to the boss.

Like just for example: if the memory took place in the library? If the memory took place in the docks? In Castle Town? Sure! But it's not in those places. It's near the very top of the castle, very very close to Ganon himself.

An ability that not everyone at that point will have, or not know where to go. If you do a beeline straight from one point to the other, sure, it's fast, but that's assuming you already know what to do and do it as fast as possible. You can't even see Ganon's tower from Zelda's room, you'd have no idea how close you were if you went there first.

>Anyways, the location in a vacuum isn't a sound argument.

(you used the location in a vacuum as an argument in the previous sentence)

>You're gonna have to stomp all over the castle grounds to find it.

Open the map and take a look. If you look at the photo then look at the map of hyrule castle you'll realize where it is instantly.

>The game put a requirement for the true end right next to the final boss. That would be just fine if you could simply collect the item and get the true end. But you can't. You have to walk away from the final boss to either go collect more items or go talk to an old lady. It's dumb and you cannot defend that.

People have addressed this multiple times. That's only a problem for you because you played the game in a specific way, and you wanted to go straight from getting the final memory to fighting the last boss. If a person didn't want to play the game in that way, it won't be a problem for them. Yes, it makes things anticlimactic if you play the game in the way you chose to, but that's the price of freedom, for anyone who played it in a different way (like me) that wasn't a problem. The reason it's defensible is because it's an open world game, and if you let people do anything in any order and go anywhere they want, at some point somebody's going to do something that makes it less enjoyable for themselves, and that's not the game's fault.

>>171705846
So it's okay to go to the castle, but not higher up on the castle? What a stupid argument.

Also good job, you've learned that you can glide from the higher place to the lower place quickly. Now go to the memory and make your way to the sanctum entrance. Even with Revali's gale you'll be climbing a wall. Speedrunners use the memory platform as a part of their trail to reach Ganon, and in order to make the climb, they have to climb to the TOP of the spire on Zelda's study, then glide over and climb the wall to the main area. Let's not forget that to even GET to that spire you have to climb from SEVERAL floors below. There is a staricase that leads right to it, that doesn't require you to go anywhere near Ganon's chamber. It's close in the same way that Kakariko is close to Dueling Peaks.

>All this not responding to the argument
Fine, let me simplify it. The game let's you do anything at any time, and clearly expects and encourages you to explore the castle before you're actually fighting Ganon. The memory can be located by looking at the image you have and estimating it's location, and yes, it is entirely reasonable to think that a person with eyes would not manage to enter the sanctum on accident.

>I don't give a fuck WHEN I get it. I give a fuck WHERE I get it.
>Your entire first post was you arguing that this memory is the last thing you will get before fighting Ganon

You just can't maintain a consistent view on this, can you? You are clearly trying to move the goalposts so you can have ANYTHING resembling an argument. But you don't. You never did and you never will. The castle is not an end game location, and the only collectibles there that are arguably too close to the sanctum are a few koroks. Literally everyone but you managed to get that memory while doing a regular explorative run of the castle, but you were a retard and you want it to be the game's fault.

Is there a single non-shrine non-master sword quest in the entire game that you can complete without returning to the person who gave it to you? If there is, I haven't seen it, and the vast majority don't function like that.

Especially since the only way you'd know the requirements for the true end (or even that there was a true end) was by looking it up, so you spoiled yourself on what you needed to do to get the ending, but then didn't actually think about what that would entail?

Sure, the game doesn't EXPLICITLY tell you, but anyone with a brain would've figured it out.

>>171706637
>An ability that not everyone at that point will have, or not know where to go.
Again, I'm just illustrating the proximity.
> You can't even see Ganon's tower from Zelda's room
So? The proximity is far too great and since you're working from a memory photo, you're likely to take an extremely indirect route to the location form the image. Which worsens the issue of proximity quite a bit.

>>171706709
>So it's okay to go to the castle, but not higher up on the castle?
Not for main quest items. No.
>Now go to the memory and make your way to the sanctum entrance
Spamming climb it's still probably a 30 second trip. It's REALLY close to Ganon unless you travel strictly via corridors and stairs.
>person with eyes would not manage to enter the sanctum on accident.
I didn't enter it by accident. I knew I was walking into a room. What I didn't know is that this would be the one game out of hundreds without a "point of no return" prompt for the final boss.

>Your entire first post was you arguing that this memory is the last thing you will get before fighting Ganon
Was the last thing that -I- got. It's placement created a bad situation for ME. That was the gist of the post.

But even without my own personal involvement, the bottom line of the situation is that no matter what, Zelda's Laboratory memory asks you to breach the final dungeon and climb all the way up to the final boss just so you can turn around and leave again.

It's dumb. A main quest should never lead you that close to the end and then demand that you turn around. You have yet to actually tackle this issue. You're still skirting it because you're stupid or stubborn.

>>171706924
There's a few side quests that don't require returning to the quest giver. One that comes to mind is the quest from Dueling peaks stable, where you find the thief's treasure. Quest ends when you get to the treasure and returning to the guys and telling them you found it will result in them calling you a liar and going back to pondering the location.

>>171706924
>Especially since the only way you'd know the requirements for the true end
By common sense. You can't get a true end without clearing every main quest objective. Duh.

For me it was the one that you need collect 10 restless crickets. Not only they are rare to find, but there is no follow-up to that quest.

So you agree it was your own stupidity that led to your bad experience. Yet you still think it's the game's fault. Okay then. Also 30 seconds of climbing and jumping is not something that you're going to do by mistake, or even feel like the game intends for you to do. To draw a path right from the memory to Ganon requires you to go out of your way, the game in no way expects or encourages you to do it.

>Didn't know the sanctum was where Ganon was
So the door leading into the central spire at the very top of the castle, and the GIANT RED GLOWING DOT ON YOUR MAP didn't tip you off? Again, entirely your fault.

For a main quest item to be found in the castle, about halfway up and not in close proximity to the final fight, is absolutely fine. In fact, ANY quest item or goal being ANYWHERE in the castle that is not directly in or above that room is fine. That entire castle save for that room is free for you to explore, and it is clear that this is the case to anyone that is paying attention.

I figured he was in there. I didn't know what it would take to start the fight. Again, pretty much any other game would ask you "Are you ready?" before triggering the end sequence. BotW didn't even put it behind a closed door. You can even stumble in through a small side door, thinking that it's a secondary room nearby to the main room.
>For a main quest item to be found in the castle, about halfway up and not in close proximity to the final fight
It's at the top of the castle anon. You can deny it all you want, but it's placed at the top. The Sanctum and Zelda's Room are at the same basic elevation. And for the third motherfucking god damn time, since it's a memory photo, the precise location in a vacuum isn't a sound defense. You're not going to be able to seek it out directly/by accident unless you're quite lucky. Most players will end up running around the castle a little in order to find the spot from the photo. In order to run around in the right area, you're gonna be running around near Ganon.

It's a bad design. The story.main quest still managed to suffer as a result of the open air designs.


So no, it's not my fault, the game's main quest was sloppily executed at one point and in one way.

>No. It's the devs placing a main quest item next to the final boss when said item demands that you leave and come back.

Talked to death already, it's not near it, and since you don't need to go straight to Ganon and there's plenty more in the castle to explore, there is no reasonable expectation for the player to go from that memory to Ganon.

>I figured he was there
So you walked INTO THE BOSS ROOM and got surprised that a BOSS FIGHT started? What the fuck, you just don't have any capability of rational thought.

>The Sanctum and Zelda's Room are at the same basic elevation.

Objectively false. Zelda's room is literally built INTO THE CENTRAL STRUCTURE OF HYRULE CASTLE, UNDERNEATH THE WALKWAY THAT LEADS TO THE SANCTUM. If you had the ability to drill, or clip through meshes, you could clip through the walkway outside the sanctum and wind up in the ceiling of Zelda's room. It is objectively beneath it. If they were the same elevation, the door leading to Zelda's room from inside the castle (now just a partial hallway blocked by rubble) would literally be a door leading outside to the walkway. But it's not, it is so clearly below it. And the ACTUAL walkway that leads into Zelda's room, without jumping from above, is THREE LEVELS BELOW THAT, putting the path that leads to the memory FOUR FLOORS BENEATH THE SANCTUM. It is not "too close" to Ganon. It is accessed by a staircase 20 feet away from the exit of the grand library, which is accessed from the mines below, which are accessed from the VERY FUCKING BOTTOM of the castle. Naturally progressing through the interiors of the lower castle will lead you right to that memory, and that's assuming you didn't look at your album and cross reference it with your map to just find the spot yourself.

It is absolutely your fault if you could only find the memory by walking to the top of the castle and then jumping down. The castle is perfectly designed to lead exploratory players right to it.

Yes. There should have been a prompt. Even just a door to open would be okay, but an examine prompt for the cocoon on the ceiling would suffice. The final boss isn't something that should just "happen" like that. There should be SOMETHING that player does other than merely walk forwards. Ideally, they'd have put a lock on his door and hidden a key somewhere like behind a challenging room/fight or in a major landmark. Y'know, as a reference/homage to Boss/Big Keys in Zelda? But whatever, that's just my own dumb idea.
> UNDERNEATH THE WALKWAY THAT LEADS TO THE SANCTUM.
Exactly. It's fucking right next to Ganon. You're ability to reason 3D space is insanely inadequate my friend. Are you gonna try to ignore how the golden birds on the walkway are the only major distinguishing feature in the photo and that most players will only stop and divert their attention to searching for the memory once they've found them?

>So retarded you can't piece together that walking into a boss room won't trigger the boss

Door or no door, that is just beyond obvious. You have no excuse for that, you're just plain retarded for this one. If the game had as many prompts as you are suggesting it should it would just be Skyward Sword 2.

>You're ability to reason 3D space is insanely inadequate my friend

First of all, your*, obviously your writing comprehension is on par with your own 3D spacial reasoning. It's under it. Under as in below. As in you need to go UP to get to the sanctum. There isn't a staircase, there isn't an elevator, or an opening inside her room, nothing. To get from A to B you MUST go out of your way to climb a wall (which is covered in corruption btw, that you need to navigate around). The only way it is "close" is if you take an ALTERNATE PATH that leads you to the sanctum FIRST, then jump DOWN to where the memory is. And by that metric EVERYTHING IN THE CASTLE is close to the sanctum, as you can easily reach nearly any spot below from that spire. You are looking a 3d maze from the top working your way down, and saying it's too close. That's like saying the entrance to the maze island is too close to the solution, because you can enter from the top right above where you need to go to finish the maze. You break sequence and get to the end first, obviously things will be easy to get to.

And there are tons of ways to know where that memory is without even seeing the statues. Like the fact that THE FUCKING CASTLE IS IN THE IMAGE. THE TOP OF THE CASTLE. Where can you possibly expect to stand and see that other than a platform just off the side of the castle? And how many of those are there? ONE. There is literally only one place that picture could be by the very nature of what the picture is of. Just because you're ability to look a picture and find the location it was taken from is shit doesn't mean everyone else's is. Jesus you're retarded.

Few questions

What, if any are the differences betweem WiiU and Switch versions, Is the switch worth investing in at the moment just for this? Ill get more titles down the road but this is it for now. and is there any online interactions at all like wind waker HD messages in bottles?

>>171713042
Shitty rumor. They turn rusted weapons into the normal form but that's all. It's also only the ones on death mountain that do it.

>>171713141

At first you may think that, but then look at the weapons that it drops afterwords.

>>171711689
>CD-i Link says "I'm so hungry I could eat an octorok!" and BotW is the first game where you can actually cook and eat an octorok
>Akkala, a region never shown before despite having its own citadel, closely resembles a region of the wand of gamelon map, which also had multiple castles
>BotW, Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon are the only titles in which enemies hit brutally hard and a low-level enemy can kill you in seconds, the world is a much deadlier place in this canon
>in most 3D Zelda games there is at least one enemy (usually ganon) that is defeated by swatting a projectile back and forth until they miss a swing, which is done using the master sword. In the CD-i games and BotW, however, most enemies that fire projectiles that can kill you instantly are defeated by using your SHIELD to deflect the projectile back at them one time, and this often kills them in one hit
I could go on, the evidence is all around us. The reason that the game seems to combine elements of all timelines is that various events from other timelines would have eventually happened (in reference to the mainline games), but in less epic and decidedly shittier ways, had the CD-i series continued. It's time to face reality, kiddos: BotW takes place at the end of the CD-i timeline.

When I feel I'm done (probably after completing the compendium and inventory expansion) I think I'm gonna do speedruns or runs with special parameters (eg 3 hearts, sell all divine beast hearts immediately). I'll probably start playing other games again as well though so it lasts me longer.

Is a pure stealth run possible? That is, defeating Calamity Ganon without ever being spotted by an enemy (Exclamation mark appearing above them or a guardian turning on the laser sights).

>>171719123
Theoretically, although I don't think it's possible to stealth past the enemies in the first coulple of shrines.

No.

I mean, even when you get like a Korok bow with 3x that's still worse due the worse durability and range, it is basically only Lynel and Royal bows that can stand up to it.

>>171722160
there is something other than quality that is wrong with this

>>171721953
Certainly not high, yeah.
Using Ancient Arrows makes them a quick farm, though.
Ancient Arrows do 1/3 of their HP. In combination with a x3/x5 bow you need only one per guardian.

>>171721741
Kill walker/flyer guardians, "Decayed" ones don't drop them, Turret ones do though.

I think Major Test of Strength Scouts has a chance of em too, but Minor Test Ones don't.

Tests have their Scouts repawn every Blood Moon, so doing Major Tests is probably the best way to farm, even though the Castle is littered with them it is kinda annoying to navigate and restocking shields and weapons (for when the MS recharges)is kinda annoying, and redoing Shrines give you those ANCIENT x++ Weapons to use once you have Ancient Proficiency.

Turrets and Flyers do drop Giant cores though so you gonna grind those at the castle anyway.

>>171722715
Exactly. I could have got that kickass enchantment on a decent weapon.

>>171722903
And it would break on a single Silver enemy. Royal Guard weapons are shit.

>>171722903
Doesn't that thing only last for like 15 hits though?

>>171722903
Other weapons can't have those kind of enchantments. The Royal Guard Claymore gets crazy stats to counterbalance how easily it breaks.

You need to beat at least one divine beast to unlock the top tier amiibo items.

I'm close to having it done, but it's functionally identical to Barbarian armor. 20 per piece at 4 stars with reduced charge attack stamina as it's bonus.

>>171722840
You potentially get one a day since you can only scan a Amiibo once a day (But you can reload a save before the scan and scan again if you didn't like what you got)

I think that if you have several SmashZelda Amiibos(WHY?) you can scan EACH once a day due it recognizing them as different ones.

WolfLink works a bit different since it lets you resummon as many times as you want until he dies, so if he despawnsv (By you saving and quiting or something like that) you can respawn him, but if he gets killed you gotta wait until the next day before getting him again, i think it works the same save wise that you can reload a save before he died if you really don't wanna lose the use of YOLODog for that day yet though.

I think Epona can also be resummoned if you fuck up and summon her on the Plateau but not otherwise, but i ain't sure.

I heard locations influence drops so where are you? Plateau? Kakariko? The Castle?
