The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

I wish I could get that far, I cant work out the camels innards!

i remember that taking me forever

camel's a xunt

The inside of that camel was the only part of the whole game that made me say fuck this shit, I had to leave it

btw I said it over there but it bears repeating: Odyssey is a disappointment

take that back

its actually so good,

The inside of that camel was the only part of the whole game that made me say fuck this shit, I had to leave it

LOL thats exactly why Ive stalled. I have to complete this to be able to complete a shrine quest (I'm only 3 shrines away from completion) and THEN I can go git Ganon. I mean fuck. I spose I could just go get him now. I dont need all 4 champions. Would I be able to try Vah Naboris after I did the main quest?

Just do it Trayce!

That is, the camel

I couldnt even do it cheating with a fecking YT walkthru ;_;

I have a real shit sense of direction and the spinning tubes confuse my stupid brain.

i never went back after the shitty water boss, just can’t be bothered

That boss was the easiest one!

And the bosses are totally worth doing for the champion boons they give you - Miphas extra life spell, and the Rito's airjump are especially useful.

I found wind and water easiest, and yeh the added abilities are super useful

fuck this electro dude

That boss was the easiest one!

sure, i wasn’t having fun and just can’t be arsed with it. maybe if i collect enough heart containers or whatever.

Well yeah, dont go into the bosses on 3 hearts and no weapons. I didnt even go near them til I had over twice that, the master sword, and some decent armour and powerups.

But I'm also someone who, as Ive said heaps, can just wander around picking mushrooms, galloping on my souped-up black steed (he has the cool Ancient saddle that means I can teleport-call him!) and staring off into space from a cliff, Brian Cox-styles.

ganon......... done. what a game

only 19.60% complete... fffffffuuuuuuu-...

FINALLY GOT THE DESERT BEAST DONE ARRRRGH.

...I had to follow a youtube step by step to do it :/ how in gods name are the puzzles in that camel obvious to anyone!?

it was challenging for me. Partly because it was boring.

It was far too unnecessarily elaborate. That bit especially with the 3 or 4 metal blocks you had to slide around in 3 jillion combos before it all lit up the electrix... how could anyone work that out? I couldnt even have FOUND that bit without the bloody walkthru.

ANyway the boss dude after all that wasnt so hard, I guess. Now I've unlocked the new DLC Champions Ballad stuff so Ive more to do before finishing Ganon off yay.

Any chance you could post a link to the YouTube vid you used?

every time I see a lynel

Nate: this is the one I used but its not the best, he speeds up a lot of the bits where hes picking the map rotations. But he skips bothering with all the chests, so its a good quick guide:

I bought Odyssey and I played it for half an hour and went back to playing zelda for a week. I guess I missed my horse.

I watched that video and literally have no idea what's going on.

Right!? Thats how fricking confusing that puzzle/dungeon is. Pointlessly so, if you ask me.

(the fact he speeds half of it up doenst help tbh)

thought all the dungeons were kinda dumb and hard. used a guide on all of them. used a guide for lots of stuff really (kilton, tarry town, master sword). some shrine puzzles. life’s too short

What's interesting (to me, anyway) is the dichotomy between good combat and good puzzling. My bf sailed through half the game that was about fighting-- he went to Zora first and beat that first lynel with four hearts after less than ten tries. My mom collected 80-90 of the puzzle-oriented shrines, and was able to master the dungeons like immediately, but couldn't do any of the "test of strength" shrines or the dungeon bosses. Well balanced imo!

i haven't found a shrine puzzle that stumped me yet, the only found but unfinished ones i have are some major tests of strength that i didn't have the gear for at the time i found them.

I'm pretty crap at both - puzzling and fighting - but I love exploring. I spent the whole weekend in the Hebra Mountains just randomly climbing up things without advancing the story. Fun! I found the lonesome pine from the "Bird in the Mountains" trial, but more by accident than design.

Even after six weeks I'm still really crap at fighting. I just end up running rings around the baddie then getting shot when I run out of breath, or I get tense and keep pushing down the right joycon stick and opening the Sheikah slate while I'm being attacked.

I also - after six weeks! - just figured out that climbing up the towers unlocks the maps for the area. DUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH.

lol

I used to accidental crouch mid battle. Have never pulled out the slate.

lol chuck thats like the first thing you have to do :D

And yeah I'm always accidentally crouching. I also never got the hang of the fecking flurry rush either.

accidental crouching should at least confuse the enemy. why force us into conventional fighting modes, nintendo?

immediately hit me with your bat after the second accidental crouch, sure.

it was getting really stressful having all those NPC side quest conversations, the "I hear there's a secret surprise in X wood by Y mountain just east of Z river and [twee name] bridge", and I was thinking "Where are all these places??? Am I supposed to write this down like an old text adventure map???"

Anyway, I was super enjoying it while paying it wrong for six weeks, and now it's even better!

My only other confusion is the shrine radar - sometimes the shrines are SO far away from where it starts bleeping, I feel like I must've found a second shrine. But I guess the radar is a bit tempremental too.

Also I never sleep now and am officially dead

there are underground shrines that beep when you are near the shrine, but you are actually far from the entrance to, for example, a cave leading to the shrine.

Oh yah those ones did my head in. Forbidden Temple especially.

Anyone says anything like that to me, and its a quick hit on the image capture button, and its all saved..

[Forehead slap] Of course! Thank you

Omg the Forbidden Temple, serious high point
