Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Done

The mini games in Breath of the Wild are literally just 'play the game, without even the durability or scarcity elements suspended. Here's a pittance for it.'

Where does it tell you how much Korok seeds you've collected by the way?I know you can see in your inventory how much you have but I've been trading them for inventory slots so I don't know my true total.I've a feeling it might be the tech lab that has that info,forgot to look last time I was there.

I bet it's really obvious and I'm somehow missing it

In the loading screen.

@Meowpheel Hah,how I missed that I'll never know.Cheers

You can also calculate the total number of Korok seeds required in your inventory once you've unlocked all of the stuff with them.

A only semi-useless hint if you're close to 900; retrace your steps...

So I said screw it: Let's end the bugger in the castle.

And what a battle that was.

So yeah....that's my second ever 3D Zelda completed. Easily my favourite.

43.75% completion at the end with 120 Shrines and 245 Korok Seeds.

Turns out each seed is worth 0.8%. Which means in total they account for 72%.

Heh I found a way to explore the back of the throne room without triggering the last battle.

It was mildly amusing.

@Meowpheel Was there anything much there? All I noticed was the different staircases and the guardians in Calamity Ganon's cocoon. Someone posted on Reddit about how the iron lattice above the throne is the central pattern of the Gate of Time in Skyward Sword.

@Haru17 I only messed around for a few minutes. There's a pair of thrones, one broken, a big sculpture of the triforce (surrounded by that pattern you mention) and on the floor above you can see the bunch of tentacles the cocoon uses to attach itself to the ceiling.

I beat the game. Properly, with the classic garb, proper sword, and legendary shield with Epona.

The first form's design is by far the creepiest in the series, with the second being Majora's wrath. Although the ending was really lame, the fights leading up to it were very epic. I loved the final battles.

Just been playing this morning, and got lost memory number 1. From the things Zelda refers to, it's pretty evident where Breath of the Wild takes place in the timeline, I won't go into it here for spoilers (dunno how to do the shaded bit), but I think it's conclusive what branch it follows.

I finally set up Switch sharing. Like PS4, the screenshots just look kinda bad. Through Twitter there's now a single screenshot maximum, as opposed to PS4's, well, four. How hard is it to just let me email these things to myself?

Anyway, onto some pretty comprehensive world event / story spoilers.

Next, some final boss SPOILERS that you probably haven't seen even if you've beaten the game but aren't on their face super spoilery. Who knew Breath of the Wild had the curtain of Twilight? http://i.imgur.com/xypBtoK.jpg

@Nintenerdguy There are 900 of them. Finding all of them is almost impossible. If you want to go for 100% on this game, be prepared to spend the majority of your time hunting Koroks.

@Octane I genuinely can't be bothered with the koroks. If there was 200 I'd give it a go but 900 is way to much.

@BigBadJohn Same here. I'll upgrade my weapon slots and call it a day. Don't need the upgraded slots for shields and bows anyway.

@Octane Yeah, you need all the melee slots you can get, since there are so many different types of weapons. Bows, you really just need a wooden and a metal one, and a few more for backups. Same thing with shields, though you may need more backups if you shield-surf a lot. But for melee weapons, you'll want swords, great swords or axes, spears, boomerangs, and general tools; you'll want them in different elemental variations too, and you'll always want some of them to be ancient technology for thunderstorms. Plus, you'll want some crap spears for throwing, and if you're like me, you'll keep two or three slots open so that you can sneak up to bokoblin camps and steal their weapons before they see you, so that they can't use them. Even after maxing the slots out, I'm always wishing I had more melee slots.

@Octane @BigBadJohn me too, i got 284 now and got all weapon slots. I'll get just what i will find exploring, but i'll never get them all!

So far I've be able to find 432 Korok Seeds. I'm now actively looking for them since I want to 100% this game. Also a cool detail that I just found out, the weather actually affects how big some puddles/ponds are. The level of detail in this game is amazing! Here's a link to the Reddit page with comparison images.
