Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Currently on my third temple - the fire temple. Have found it a drag and a pain in the arse compared to the others I've done - wind and water.

Hoping it's not a case of the game hitting a wall for me...

@Tendo64
It was confusing at points, but I loved the fire temple. Honestly up in the same tier as Arbiters Grounds and the forest temple.

@N00BiSH I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re sending our love down the well.

ToTK might be the best Sting game since Captain Planet on the NES.

Does anyone know how you make the black spoiler thingy appear on posts? I have three theories I want to share but don't want to spoil people.

@sunny63 use the spoiler tags

Try quoting this message to see how it’s formatted:

^like that

Does anyone know if the Master Kohga questline has any impact after you finish it? I know that it makes Yiga start spawning randomly like in BotW, so I'd prefer to just not finish it if possible. But if it affects the ending or something, I'll just do it.

So I was near Thyphlo ruins when I heard chuchu spawn me. Except when I turned around, not only were there two chuchu, but 4 pieces of chuchu jelly on the floor, as if a third had spawned and immediately died. Even odder, 1, and only 1, piece of jelly spontaneously combusted and turned into fire jelly despite there being no nearby heat source. Does anyone have any idea what might have happened?

maybe it landed on a torch

Nope, just ordinary grass

@Munchlax
The chu chu was feeling generous.

@Breeze23 Oof! I thought I was close to finishing the Lucky Clover Gazzette side quests with Penn the pelican at the horse stables. I hit all the stables, one mission each. After several quests, they gave me the froggy pants, then the chest froggy armor a couple later. Then I hit a roadblock, couldn't find Penn the pelican. Traysi at the Gazette kept says Penn is at Dueling Peaks Stable, but I never found him there. I screwed around for two+ hours. Turns out, Penn, was standing on the top of horse head structure of Dueling Peaks Stable the whole blasted time. That horse head structure is so busy looking, I never noticed him. I only figured this out by looking through Polygon website's Lucky Clover Gazette guide. I think I'm close to getting the final part of the froggy armor, the mask, but I'm spent.

So, heads up: After doing a mission at each stable, you're not done....

@WoomyNNYes Had this same problem and just figured it out about an hour ago lol

Hah I did that one by “accident” because I saw him while gliding down to the stable

It's oddly satisfying when you fall into water and then the splash falls like it is rain.

@jump they’re clearly pretty proud of that effect, since they force you to do it twice in the beginning of the game.

@Eel It must be because they needed something to replace that sastrifying feeling from grass cutting of the previous games!

This has gotta be one of the best soundtracks in the series.

@blindsquarel for me it is opposite. I miss the classic tunes. I was such a good feeling on finally hearing them after credits.

For me, I don't mind the soft piano music playing in the overworld or the ambient music. It makes the points where actual outright songs play feel earned or unique in comparison. Like, boss encounters or cutscenes. Some of the cutscene songs really gave me chills as well, when you amount it to the areas they play in. The buildup to the final boss, and his theme is just great, and it has some really nice callbacks to other musical works in the series.

@Balta666
The overworld music isn’t amazing, but dungeon and boss music is incredible.
