The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

a lot of those are fantastic

holy shit I'm riding a bear

take it to the gay thread buddy

yeah, quit with the gay stuff, we're trying to discuss our video game about the adventures of a fairy boy

otm

still riding him. he's way more biddable than I thought a bear would be

Ive only ridden one, but it was fun, plodding thru the snow.

Catching/riding a fuckn reindeer was way more impossible - and that one was a shrine quest. Took me forever to get one, they just heard me no matter wjat sneak shit I did. I ended up parachuting down onto one lol.

I didn't know that any of this was was possible

shut the fuck up, tree, and let me get this sword

a free bit got added to the DLC the other day. I finished it in 10 minutes. It was just to go to 3 places and stare in the right direction til you saw a red shooting star, to get some goodies.

New set of amiibos out a few weeks back, featuring the 4 champions. I snagged Daruk and Revali. Couldnt justify paying for all 4 this close to xmas :(

Anyone else collect the amiibos?

unless it's spoilery for some reason..

what IS the "breath" of the wild?

The wind/weather, I always assumed! It has such a vital presence in the game.

Horse farts is a better answer.

haha <3

The Legend of Zelda: Horse Farts

Now I'm picturing inventive battle strategies involving one Link, his horse, and a bunch of fire arrows....

oh shiiit new DLC is out. gotta pick it up

six hours into this (five hours of which has been walking from distant point to distant point, again and again and again) and i'm apparently having to make a recipe trial-and-error out of some random shit that's not explained. i'm tempted to cheat, not because i'm incapable but because this is so god damned boring.

the mystery ingredient is a fish. no way would i have stumbled upon that inside a year.

Walking distant point to distant point, trial and erroring spicy fish recipes is the gamd

Fuck did you just spoiler the DLC? :/

no i think AA is talking about the intro quest to get the glider. i relented and looked that one up too when i did it

yeah intro quest. i would never spoil brand new content (or anything important tbh).

this console reeeeeally needs some wii u ports btw. skyward sword would be pretty great too.

that's the quest for the warm doublet. there are at least two other ways to get it and there are ways to get by without it.

u suck at videogames

harsh but fair tbh

although since i got the paraglider i've been progressing fine, so maybe i just suck at recipes and patience (rushomancy otm, i should have just tried something else)

also i know i'm super late to this game but holy shit it's enormous

First off it's called "the spicy meat and seafood fry" which suggests fish might be a likely ingredient? Also there's a cookbook at the old man's cabin that tells you what's needed.

problem exists between chair and joycon

Yeah early on in the game, read every book you come across. They will give important advice. Also make note of the tips in the loading screens. There is a ton of useful info in there!

Or fuckit and just look it up on Polygon like I have done a few times because fuck a physics puzzle.

that ball maze is fuck

somebody (ciderpress?) had an amazing idea for that one

They did yeah! I wish I'd thought of it. ctl-f upthread if you wanna spoiler :)

oh i saw that, it still sucks. even with doing that you have to flip it at the right angle, and hope it’s going to land in the right place, but i ain’t spendin’ any more time on it

Yeah I have a few shrines ive found and still havent solved, cos theres no way to cheat it really. Still got about 12 shrines to find, somehow!!

so many shrines, so many everything

so many mountain climbs spoiled by trolling rain

worst on that front - in mid-fight with a talus rockmonster then it starts raining. Cant get onto his back to hack at him cos its too slippery. Grr.

most people don't actually know that Hylians played the aliens in Signs

my favourite line of dialogue so far is “please enjoy this apology egg”

also, fuck horses

uh, Moore lost the election pal

...

horse collecting and riding are more of a mini game in this. the game is too huge to not have teleportation, and the large number of shrines gives good enough teleportation granularity, meaning that you'll rarely need to ride very far. If you do need to go far, you are likely climbing some mountains and you ditch the horse anyway. horses seem to be immune to the climate, so they are handy for squeezing the most out of a temporary heat/cold resistance. would welcome a jinglehorse dlc for christmas still.

ah thanks for explaining that. i did wonder how horses would be useful in a map full of teleports.

the one thing i haaated about ocarina was the bloody horse mechanics, and i’ve had a digital horse phobia ever since.

yeah, I plan on skipping all horse racing based "achievements" because the three speed carrot system is not very fun to use and the turning still feels like rotation about a central horse axis.

ugh really? god

that said, it is a good idea to run the roads on a horse at least once after you've unlocked the full map. I found stuff I would have likely missed otherwise.
