@TheXReturns - A shimmer? I don't see anything like that... Maybe I should see Impa about it first and then it'll show.
...Because instead of following the main story objectives, I got distracted by the new features, one thing led to another and I ended up "exploring" again. I saw the second pic, found the location then decided to get Central Hyrule's Tower while I was running around since it was "close enough". Whoops.
@DreamyViridi Huh. At least, for the two memories I found, at the beach between Hyrule Castle and the great plateau, south of the Duelling peaks, and at the Shrine of Power east of Death Mountain, there was an interactable point that I can only best describe as a light green shimmer.
I'd highly recommend talking to Impa about starting the recollections quest, because after you've recalled one memory, then spoken to her again, you can obtain the Champion Tunic, the blue tunic from the boxart.
Also, I think you have to unlock all memories to gain the true ending, or so I've heard.
...That took quite a few spoiler tags... It's also not working correctly, because why on earth would it?
Ah, I see, you appear to only be able to do one spoiler per paragraph.
Story Time! Sorry it's so long, I've just got so much to talk about! I'm gonna take advantage of this one spoiler tag to take care of everything spoilery.
(contains a lot of major spoilers!)
I just arrived at my first dungeon, the flying one near the Rito Village. It was definitely smaller than I expected once I was inside (EDIT: playing through it now, and it's awesome. It defintely appeals to my taste in dungeons), but holy cow it is gorgeous up here! Just seeing everything moving below me and knowing that it's all not just a back-drop is incredible. I loved how, after talking to the villagers, you had to travel to a remote location with harsh conditions, find a guy, prove your worth to him, then work together to take it down. It wasn't much, but it set the tone that I wouldn't have been able to get up there if was just any old "random hylian."
The first time I discovered the blood moon mechanic was a fun one. Back when I first got off the great plateau, the first thing I did was to investigate a glowing aurora in the north. When that eventually disappeared, I made my way east toward Kakariko Village for the main quest, and came across Central Hyrule's Tower. This tower is surrounded by two immobile guardians who will pick you off if you try to climb it. I, having just started the game, didn't have much equipment for the heavily armored beasts, but, wanting desperately enough to unlock the central area, decided to waste every weapon I had on one of them (this took quite a while, as I would sneak up behind it, whacked it once on the head with a boko club, and hide until it stopped beeping). After the one was finally broken, I fought some Stalfos that were way too big for me, and proceeded to climb the tower on one side. Since the platforms on towers go in a circle, I eventually ran into the problem where I needed plenty of extra stamina to climb the side away from the one working guardian without any platforms. In the process, I consume every plate of mushrooms I have to get sooo close to the top of the tower , and it is here that I discover the blood moon mechanic. As many of you have probably discovered at this point, the blood moon revives every monster you've defeated since the last blood moon. I learn this, and it didn't quite hit me what it truly meant until a guardian started aiming from behind me. I've never gotten the urge to throw the controller before in a video game, but I nearly came close! I got picked off easily, and I was so disheartened by having wasted all of my weapons and food, just for the one guardian I slaughtered to come back to life, that I just kept heading east, and dodged through guardian city. (It hadn't occured to me that the game saves before the blood moon, and that I could have started the climb and tried to do it faster. I don't know if I had it in me to try again anyway)
My girlfriend's pretty interested in the game too, but is currently working on another Zelda game. But she watches me play, and I gotta say, the "memories quest" where you try to find where the picture was taken has been an incredibly fun activity for the both of us! It's the kind of thing that definitely takes two minds, as some are less obvious than others. It's really tough, and we've spent hours analyzing the pictures, map, and nearby landmarks trying to find the location. It's really rewarding when you find it; we're having a blast with it. Plus, I can't imaging this kind of quest in any other open-world game. In Skyrim, for example, everything is snowy mountains; it would be impossible in such a big world without more distinguishable landmarks.
Haven't been to Eldin yet, though. @Haru17, if that thing at Eldin doesn't try to pick me off from a terrifying distance, this games going in the trash! (no it won't omg i'm so sorry)
I'm getting really impressed with physics in this game. Yesterday when i was approaching a bokoblin's camp, i sneaked and was trying to kill the guard with the bow. When i was shooting the wind made me change a little bit the aim (using gyro and i was feeling the strenght of the wind, and i was kind of forced to adjust the aim) and i almost missed it. That's really incredible
LOL that should be tried! By the way i did 1h15 or so this morning, before i have to prepare to go to class
Finally i got to Kakariko Village, and i closed just outside of it so i can explore it with ease next time i'll play. Did my first side quests: the treasure one at the twin stable (both easy and satisfying i have to say), the stabling horse one and the last for Castonne. In reward i turned in the first 2 Korok seeds to get a slot for melee weapons and bows. While doing the treasure quest i got close to a Shrine but did not manage to find it unfortunately Now, after i'll explore Kakariko i'll do the Shrine that is there to get the 4 things (don't remember the name) and improve my Hearth pool to 4
This game is really addicting!!!
EDIT: Am i good with gear if i have only the armor from the King, the one for cold, and the bandana for climbing? Did i miss something important in this? Is there a vendor in Kakariko to get better one? Did i rush too much if i reached it in little less than 10hr (maybe 8)?
This is the second time I came across 3 trees standing next to each other in a perfect line.
Is there a pattern I don't see here? It looks like one of those koroks puzzles.
EDIT:
Wait, I see the pattern. Lol. Now where were those other trees...
Where do people take notes of things while playing? the "pins" are great and all.... but would love to have a notes program/app on the switch to write things in to jog my memory.
do i go old school and use a pad and pencil!!??
@FGPackers No, I've had that gear for quite some time. Eventually you'll get better gear. Just explore around Kakariko village! There's also a clothing shop in the village, but I only bought the hood and nothing else.
@Spanjard Scan your map, you can spot them easily, I managed to find a dozen or so by looking just at the map. If I remember correctly, there are 700 of them, I don't even want to know how many I already missed.
I need some help! So Hateno Tower, are you meant to climb it with the vines still wrapped around it? Or do you need to do something to get rid of them first? I keep trying to climb but get so far and hit vines...gah.
Thanks!
Easy! (not sure how to do the spoiler tags on here like other people do, so for anyone that doesn't want spoilers, simply ignore the rest of what I'm going to say in order to try and help out....)
But If it's the tower I think you mean, then you just climb round it sideways and avoid the bits where there are spiky vines). -They basically just spiral around the tower leaving a clear path in between that you can still climb up. (don't be afraid of the tower's corners, you can totally climb sideways round them like that without falling off). Basically, you just climb the grilled bits of the tower and spiral round that gap in between the vines as though it was a spiraling path, and you'll make it! (of course, stop on platforms if you run out of stamina on the way up, and be sure to look down to make sure you drop on a platform that isn't going to make you land on a spike) but that's basically how I did it, and I made it up there just fine! That tower is unlocked now, and was able to do it very early on in the game after only one stamina upgrade (and you may not even need that upgrade in order to do it if you stop at enough platforms on the way). Hope this helps! (if you haven't already figure it out already, that is). Was this the tower you mean?
I can' get my head around the size of the world.Is it bigger than XCX's? I never really got that far into XCX.
Nah, XCX is bigger.
The total map size definitely is bigger in XCX. That does include a lot of ocean though. I bet there's not much difference in terms of the total landmass only.
Can I just say, Molduga's really something. Good lord. It came out of nowhere and I had no idea how to fight it. It seems easy enough once you understand how to hurt it, and the way to effectively kill it is really cool.
@GoronBrudda@-Green- A reminder for everyone here, please use spoiler tags. I'm going to edit your posts to add spoiler tags, but please be considerate next time you post something.
@OorWullie I feel BOTW is bigger than XCX because the second is full of ocean too. Insteand in Zelda there's a lot of ground to cover.
About this i have to say that i don't think i'll ever get a horse if not for battling guardians or something like that. Exploration on foot is really way better to enjoy with ease and calm this huge and nice world, also to discover every single possible detail. I love doing it so much!
