Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Who needs armor, when you have a near limitless supply of radishes? I'm not sure if I've said this before, but that's the main difference between this Zelda game and others in my opinion. In most Zelda games, when you're having a really difficult time with a tough enemy, Link loses hearts, and then he dies. In this game, he stress-eats. A lot.

@Undead_terror Yeah, it looks pretty bad. And the last thing I want, right now before the final boss fight, is farming those dragons to make the gear actually useful...

Completed my second divine beast. I really like the interactive aspect to these dungeons. I don't mind the brevity because at least they look like they are structures with a purpose rather than random plot device dungeon number 47. I started questioning that during OoT. I always thought LttP did a better job with a practical layout instead of making it obviously a dungeon for gameplay's sake.

Also, Revali is a butt. However, my previous excursion into Hyrule Castle made Windblight really, really easy.
I'm at only 47 shrines so I'm going to get to 60 before I go for another beast. Mostly farming Lynels and Hinox for parts atm.

@Octane - What is the reward? I can't see me getting all the shrines before beating the game so I don't mind spoilers there.

@DreamyViridi You get the Cap, Tunic and Trousers of the Wind. Link's ''classic'' green tunic. It doesn't look great IMO, and you need a whole bunch of dragon scales to upgrade them.

I wonder if people dont like the Wild outfit because its the first time the Classic 2D Zelda outfit has been updated and used in 3D?

@Tsurii I like the Champions tunic too...if only because its blue...but I did note upon seeing the Wild tunic that its basically an update of the OG Tunic.

Which in truth...Im down with. I got tired of seeing the OoT style over and over.

Compared to all the other options, I can see why that would be disappointing. At least the option is there for those who like the classic outfit.

I'll be fine with my Sheik cosplay, I've grown too fond of it since I got the mask. Though I agree that the Hylian Hood + Champion's Tunic combo looks great.

I think I like the Tunic of the Wild because the other amiibo tunics look weird on this Link.

Each Link has an outfit designed specifically for them. To fit with the game, their build and features, and so on.

@Octane that was the annoying part. IMO it should have just come upgraded.

On the bright side farming them wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, it's just frustrating when the game wipes away your campfire if you walk more than twenty feet away -_- I ran through my supply of wood and flint

Ok, I just beat a Talus, Hinox and a blue Lynel and (three yiga clan members because surprise)... back to back in less than five minutes. Fear me minions of Ganon, fear me.

The kinds of Tali that have the weak spot on the top of the head are so easy now. I just took one out before it could even have a chance. I stood on its head as it rose like a mechanical bull, then let my savage Lynel sword onto it. Took about 3 seconds.

The ones where the weak spot on the back are much harder, though, if you don't plan on wasting precious arrows.

@DarthNocturnal, that's the nice thing about the Master Sword never truly breaking. I use it for stasis, chopping wood, hitting switches, and anything else I wouldnt normally waste on a breakable item.

@DarthNocturnal Don't quote me on it but I have had luck equipping a spear and locking on and standing directly behind it and doing the charge poke. So far it has worked but I still have to take time to line up properly.

@Tsurii Pretty consistent, actually... it's short for enemies and long for objects, that's all. Ending the stasis early also makes the cooldown shorter.

I seem to have somewhat better luck hitting things (and cutting down trees) straight by holding ZR to center the camera and sidestep into position. But if I just need to move a slab in the field, I'll use balloons instead.

End game stuff... My horse got stuck in Ganon's hoof and I can't get it out. Great way to end this game...

Guys I'm having a real problem with shields. I go through them like mars bars. I do use them heavily against guardians but I never seem to have enough. I'm taking on the big man now I've done all the shrines but I want to be ultra prepared. Any tips?

@BigBadJohn Not really, explore Hyrule Castle maybe? Getting there is more difficult than the fight itself...

Meh, end fight is pretty easy, especially if you've done all the shrines. I did less than half and didn't die once. Just bring a full inventory of food and the best weapons you can find. A bunch of special armor isn't even really necessary. All I had was the Hylian armor set (Hylian tunic etc etc) upgraded 3 or so times. Completing all the Divine Beasts missions will probably be the biggest help. @BigBadJohn

So much for breaking conventions... I feel like I just beat Twilight Princess...
