Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

@Hallonblad I'd forgotten about the Korok mask. That comes with the DLC doesn't it... I don't have that yet.

Has anyone else noticed anything with the timing of the guardians when parrying them? I was going to farm a few just now, and noticed that the timing is completely off. The delay between the noise signal and the actual shot is... by a lot. Is this a new thing or is it a glitch? It would be a pain to have to learn the new timing... especially since it is so delayed. I would have to find a new marker; the sound signal just doesn't cut it when the gap to the actual attack is so huge.

@Hallonblad Playing on Master mode? That's something new they do to trip up players from Normal trying to get parts early.

@meleebrawler Oh my gosh, and here I thought I could go get all the parts for upgrading my sheika slate before I tromp all the way to Hateno Village later. XD So much for that plan. Well, I did end up killing off a few the more conservative way anyway because seriously... that did indeed trip me up. Good job Nintendo. I shall stop underestimate Master Mode. I was indeed right to be scared. ;P

856 korok seeds. Almost got it. Looking forward to doing the sidequests next. Many arent new to me but enough are. Never finished the new village quests.

They'll never know why Haru was fired from the suicide hotline.

@Tsurii Yes, I noticed, which made me think it was a glitch the first couple of times, because it worked sometimes and other times... just not. XD And now I still don't have 3 ancient cores, so my trip to Hateno (and consequently Kakariko) is therefore postponed for the time being. I guess I'll run around Hyrule field a little longer, though fighting Guardians without the Stasis+ or reliable parrying, and they have the healing... (Maybe I'll return to my main file for a little while and keep searching for those pesky korok seeds. XD ) I'm at the very least getting the dlc armour, the phantom set will be especially helpful until I get the Barbarian one.

Finally, I had enough time to try the Master Sword Trial. After three attempts, I survived the Beginner's stages. It was not easy since you really should use your bombs - a thing I never did before. Now, I will try the next one.

@Chandlero

How many hearts do you have?

@Dezzy: Fifteen, I think. However, I filled it to the Maximum at the start of the trial:

The middle trials are easy peasy compared to the beginning ones, which were pretty hard. I didn't die a single time. I still haven't beaten the final ones, though. I'll make another attempt once I get back into the game when The Champions Ballad comes out.

Pretty damn hard to do the final trials with any less than that.

@KirbyTheVampire @Dezzy
I don't know. The dark levels just killed me. Very depressing after putting 30-40 minutes into your attempt. That is the reason I stopped speedrunning
I try again tomorrow.

Yey got all korok seeds and got the "reward". At least nintendo acknowedges how bad this activity is by giving you a golden turd.
That goron who wants more drama from zelda at links ceremony is too hardcore for me. No wonder hes the one with the shield ability. Zelda is just a poor pity character in my books. And the scene where link comes to save her xD .

Did the first two trials today. Seriously floor 10 in the first trial is just wrong. I had more luck than skill. Trial two was a joke compared to that. But i havent tried the last one yet. Could be hard. Better call it a day and go to bed feeling accomplished.

Edit: Beat the master trials. The final was fun and thanks to the ancient arrows it was very manageable. The trials are kinda like the rest of the game. Pretty hard in the beginning but very modest towards the end. I like it.
And i completed the shrines. Links costume looks strange in this zelda The titans are history too and i also watched every memory. The last memory shows that my girl mipha knew it all along. Zelda had to think about link to summon her magic. Power of love. My favourite memory is nr 6 where zelda tells link about her flower. This game had not enough positive memories. And to be honest i think this was the only one. Its definitely the only one in which i like zelda. Poor girl. Nintendo showing us only her toilet time moments.

Got an email of Nintendo Holland yesterday inluding information about the DLC. I was hoping for new information but it contains information we already know and a link to the trailer of the whole DLC from a while ago unfortunately.

The releasedate in the email is still 'Winter 2017' so I don't expect any delays and I think we will hear more after the release of XC2.

Yeah it's gonna be a midnight on the 24th release isn't it?

Ooh, anyone sensing Nintendo will go all-out on this DLC as a 'thank you'?

@gcunit

Is the thank you to people who bought the season pass before they had a clue what was involved?

@Dezzy: I am still little bit afraid that Nintendo will cancel the DLC for the WiiU since it will fit in the recent picture. However, from a commercial point of view, WiiU owners provide still a quarter of BotW players and therefore, that will never happen.

@Chandlero People already paid for it, didn't they?
