I could really do with finding that maraca dude again. Got lots of Korok seeds to cash in, and I'm regularly having to bin weapons.

Spoiler

He starts near Kakariko Bridge, then once you've met him there he's at Woodland Stable. After that...

Spoiler

He's in the Lost Woods.

I just left it for a later blood moon and hit fast travel as soon as I saw it rising - think there's a shrine or a tower on the next mesa over; flew across and was just in time.

 

Im guessing the moon has to be red. After Zelda does her spiel it's not red anymore. Arghhhh!

It's so true how you never, ever end up doing what you intended for very long. Today I went out hunting, because a) it's super-relaxing and b) lets me sell meat skewers to buy shiny things. Didn't discover any Koroks or cool new places, but cashed in for some stealth armour, so result there. A detour to upgrade the armour and I see the blue rabbit! Took a picture like some bloke asked me to. Then noticed the monster gear shop was in town, snapped him too. Two side-quests down in ten minutes without even trying.

 

Also passed my first Major Test of Strength. Can't remember who mentioned it but the paraglider/bullet time tactic during the circle laser is totally fucking sweet. Then when he switched to laser blasts, I parried first time and was legit amazed with myself. And the reward was the last part of my favourite outfit :D:D:D

I thought I wasn't, but i really was rushing the Great Plateau on my first playthrough.  Now that i'm taking it easy, I've found a number of things that i missed last time time around, 2 of which are clearly supposed to teach you how certain gameplay mechanics work.

 

Leaving the Plateau, I chose to glide off a different side than last time & once again, found something new. :)

 

It's like this game has been designed as the Zelda Adventure Generator, with the world ready to respond to whatever input the player chooses to put in.

As for my game I've just about finished with my time at Lurelin village (I've not been playing much since my last update, perhaps 5-10 hours?). My time there has been absolutely cracking. Every moment here has felt like an actual tropical holiday somewhere really nice. All of the ambient sounds and atmosphere are absolutely bang on.

 

I'm constantly reminded about the few times I've been to some of the remote islands in Thailand. Especially with the three day excursion to Eventide where you have all your kit removed - running around in shorts really having to start from scratch in this beautiful little area. Each day I've been doing different things exactly as you would at a place like this in real life where they have little tours for you to go on. If they had snorkeling and marine/coral fishing in this game that'd be the cherry on top, I could do that forever.

 

Ever since I arrived at the village I'd had my eye on the team of horses just down the shore. They're all beauties, not one with a spotted backside. All absolute stallions. However I'd had a really hard time soothing them. On the final day I tried my luck one last time after finally being able to photograph a restless cricket for my compendium, and to my surprise I tamed it. :) By far the best looking horse I've had so far.

 

There has to be something mentally wrong with me because I'm in two minds about starting my game all over again and role-playing from the very start. This has been a really nourishing experience, like a real escape into another world each time I boot the game up. That was my original plan actually, but the game got the better of me.

I made my first attempt at sneaking into the castle today. I went round the back and up a waterfall to get close, then the lightening came...just as I unloaded all my metal weapons I stumbled across a guardian, at this point I pretty much unarmed. He processed to blast the shit out of me and my remaining shields. I managed to kill it, grabbed my lightening blasted weapons, got out of there.

 

Decided I'd wait for better weather next time!

There's one who doesn't! Met her, she gave me the falling star piece she'd been saving for the legendary hero, but then she was like "eh, now I've met you you're not my type." Talked to her again and she said "shouldn't you be saving the world or something?". Sidequest complete! :lol:

I flippin' love that place. I want to live in a simple place like it myself sigh...

125 hours in, and I haven't found it, yet. Just found a signpost pointing to it, 'though!

Approaching 40 hours, and have just gone back to Impa, who's shown me the location of the divine beasts. I actually snorted at how exponentially more vast the game world is, than what I understood it to be. I've barely scratched the damn thing. 

 

Unrelated, I got a cool blue glowing shield from a robot fight in a shrine. It says it can withstand guardian lasers. So I swagger up to the next patrolling one I find and promptly get burned to a crisp in one shot. What gives?

Any shield can be used to parry guardian attacks.  You just need to get the timing right.

I see! As opposed to me just standing there holding up my shield, going, "Aha! Try and zap me now I have this invincible blue shiel–" <burning flesh sound>

There is one shield that automatically reflects Guardian Lasers just like a Shield Counter.

 

It's the Ancient Shield you get by giving Guardian parts to the Ancient Oven at the Akkala Tech Lab.

 

It's limited use though, & besides, I feel like i'm chickening out if i use it.

My favourite game of all time. :wub:

Agree. I'm a long way from "finishing" this, but I've honestly never played anything like it. Straight to the top of the list, ahead of Super Hexagon and Street Fighter IV. :)

He's the legendary hero. He dresses well. He's brave, but not arrogant. He helps everyone for trinkets.

 

The calamity must have killed hundreds of thousands, wiping out huge quantities of the gene pool and, presumably, creating most of the next generation through incest because people hardly leave their village.

 

Of course they want to fuck him. He is the most desirable man in the world.

Put Ko Lipe on your list of places to visit. You won't regret it. You should go before it gets fisted by development and over-saturation. 

 

FFS! That wiki shot is practically identical to the Lurelin cape!

I'm somewhere around 60 hours on this at least, and I still haven't set foot anywhere west of the starting plateau. There are already enough chunks of the map I've uncovered but not visited...

 

I did finally find the Korok guy again. Made his birthday and Christmas all in one with the amount of seeds I had for him.
