MidWalian Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I've now spent more than a hundred hours playing this game. Still got 2 guardians and other things I want to do. I just don't want this game to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorfarius Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 FFS I climbed to the top of some mountain, started taking pictures and glided down to some shrine miles away.... suddenly realised I'd gone up there to do some shield surfing... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent in inordinate amount of time just fannying about in the Hebra Mountains. Reminded me of a game that I think only I played, Cursed Mountain. High up in the snow, remote, small outpost in the distance. Some great atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexivRed Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 5 hours ago, Rowan Morrison said: You can't (as far as I can see) mix up critters as much as regular food, simply because there are fewer of them. Adding more critters definitely helps, more monster parts doesn't seem to have much effect. Having said that, my daughter mixed two identical potions the other night, and one had twice the duration - there wasn't a blood moon or anything like that, so it seemed random. We checked the ingredients for both - exactly the same, but one was 5 minutes and one was 10. No idea what was going on there, some kind of potion-making critical hit? I had what I'm coming to consider a classic BotW moment last night - a side quest that seemed to be jinxed by bad weather, making the intended task very frustrating and ultimately leading to failure due to an unsuccessful workaround, shortly followed by the realisation that I'd overlooked a very simple option and any fault lay entirely with my own lack of lateral thinking, rather than with the game. It's really quite annoying, not being able to blame the game. Did dufferent happy music play with one of them? Random bonus effects can happen sometimes. Spicey Elixir: high level warming effect Sunshroom Warm Safflina Summerwing Butterlfy Warm Darner Red Lizalfos Tail This is why I'm perdonally using a guide for these. I don't have enough to experiment like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, can't remember, but that might make sense. I've been assuming that the music plays the first time you make a particularly good meal, but perhaps it is just a random buff. We had a little session of trying different combos to see what difference it made, but this development derailed it somewhat. Still, you can always put together something for the effect you're after. I guess one way to test would be to make the same simple meal repeatedly, and see if you get the music and a buff every now and again. Still, I do seem to have had it consistently the first time making a good meal (such as the ones on posters in stables). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davros sock drawer Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I got the distinct impression that the music only changes when you cook an actual, defined recipe - a cake say (I haven't made a cake, just a random example) as opposed to 4 eggs and some sugar, which might give you, I dunno - Fried sweet eggs.

I don't think we've done much more than half of them, but I didn't get anything. I do have a few shrine quests on the go, but it's a sad day when you realise you might not spot any more orange dots in the distance. Of course I've already been through all that with the towers. Those first hours, where everything seems so vast and mysterious, are amazing. I think it's going to be a long time before anything matches that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Two beasts down now. Found the Gerudo ones boss quite tricky, ended up using loads of buffs rather than having a clear fighting strategy. Very satisfying when he went down though. The Gerudo Desert is just full of stuff to explore, think I'll stay here a while longer, but I wish I had my very own sand seal.

I'm not sure it is, because I cooked loads of things I'd never made before, and didn't get the same music as when I made a clearly defined 'meal'.

joeplus Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Cooking music is definitely a "critical hit" of sorts. I was doing batches of apples to sell for money, two of them played the music and were worth 8 hearts instead of 5 (although sold for the same price, so I kept the good ones!)

Jarik Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 2 hours ago, Rob Rule said: Any thoughts on the ending for those who've completed it? Be sensitive with your spoilers, of course. About Calamity Ganon: Zelda says that he's 'Given up on Reincarnation', & my reaction to that was that it makes him much more boring. Maybe he'll give the physical body thing another try someday... About Link & Zelda: Zelda says that they need to start rebuilding Hyrule, but I'm curious as to how the residents of the land view her? Do they know that she spent the last 100 years containing Ganon inside the castle (Impa certainly does, but i wonder how widespread that knowledge is) & does this mean that, like Link, she's a person out of time? In general: I felt for sure that the Great Plateau would turn out to have some kind of relevance in the story, like it was artificially created & contained some great secret or something. That still might turn out to be the case in the DLC, but if nothing else I hope that the Temple of Time has some secret to reveal, like it did in Twilight Princess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty simple and brief, like the memories, but I feel like I've gotten a good sense of who the characters are from a combination of the memories, diaries and the opening and ending cutscenes. Much like FFXV, I think there's a really good story there for people who are willing to look for it and pay attention as they go along. 1 hour ago, deKay said: Anyway, memory related spoilers: Hide contents In the one where Link is essentially being knighted, did you notice the references to Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, all as events that happened in the past? And also, re: Links' Awakening Hide contents The skeleton of the Wind Fish! I think that, in combination with the traditional Hylian landmarks and the Mirror, gives us the timeline placement. Koroks and Rito seem to be products of parallel, similar evolutions between the WW and TP timelines, with the same type of developments that were rushed by the sea in WW happening in the TP timeline over around 10'000 years. Also, in your ending @deKay: Spoiler Did Zelda smile at you at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole of Hyrule is so sparsely populated, the death toll from Ganon actually winning would be minimal anyway. Why fight it? Just let him destroy everything. And half the people in Zoras domain are whinging fuckers, let them burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NexivRed Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Oh god...mounted combat makes me feel like I'm winning the grand national crossed with being part of the Magnificent Seven. And I'm pretty sure when Link is mounted, I'm bobbing and leaning on the couch along with him as he rides Taking a mounted bokoblin down with an arrow when he's only three feet in front of you gives me one a hell of a rush. And the animation of the horse is just brilliant! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CrichStand Posted March 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2017 So was coming to the end of an epic session on this the other night and I finally meet my first Zora. I'm told to head to Zora's Domain to see the King. Great! Check the map to see how far it is and it looks about 15mins away at most, so think to myself "yeah, may as well just head there, then leave it for the night, seems a good place to pick up from next time........work in the morning". Oh dear! How wrong I was!!! 4hrs later I finally see "Zora's Domain" pop up on the screen through my blurry, tired eyes, even though I'd resisted the urge to investigate loads of stuff and avoided any shrines I spotted on the journey there. Did I stop playing at this point as originally intended? Did I fuck! Spent another hour wandering around talking to the Zoras and checking stuff out, before being told to head up the nearby mountain. So finally, having almost pulled an all nighter and now struggling to keep my eyes open, I start to climb up the last section of the final peak. "Just do this boss, then switch off, can still get an hr or two sleep in. Shit.......work man, I'll be wrecked!" So with the end finally in sight, and now high up above Hyrule, I decide to turn around and take a look at the view.......and just as I do..........I see my first star falling down and crashing onto the horizon, back where I started out about 5-6hrs ago. "FOR FUCK'S SAKE"!!! And off I glide........ 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrichStand Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Man, just picked up from where I left it the other night with the intention of working my way back to take the Lynel on, only of course I spotted a shrine that I could glide to that's even further away. Enjoyed doing that but I'm now back outside and I'm getting absolutely battered all of a sudden. There's loads of enemies and they all seem to be able to one hit kill me. Just how hard is that Lynel thing on the mountain? Not sure I want to travel all the way back there to only get smashed to bits. Might be better off going shrine hunting and looking for better gear.

revlob Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 At just under 100 shrines found I've had to turn my shrine locator back on. Some of them are deviously hidden, especially in the Hebra region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
