Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

@Spanjard PLOT TWIST:

We're all the murderer!

The real mystery is:

Who did we murder!?

Many innocent creatures of the wild.

Millions of blades of grass.

@Nicolai That's it! 900 Korok puzzles!? Here's my guess, there are 900 blades of grass that are actually Korok in disguise. You're tasked to find them all in order to find the Master Sword!

That's what a gentleman does!

@Octane Oh great, I can see it now. An NPC at the top of death mountain says "They're in disguise. But I'll give you a hint for 50 rupees!" You pay him. He says "They're disguised as blades of grass. Good luck!" He disappears. From Death Mountain, you get a clear view of the impossibly vast Hyrule, and you see to your dismay that, outside of icy mount Hebra, there isn't a patch of land that isn't covered in grass. Link drops to his knees in futility.

@Nicolai no, he needs to say "I'll tell you something good for 100 rupees"

No indication of what he will talk about until you pay.

But what if you burn them to death instead? No 100% completion on seed puzzles for you!

This is probably one of the few places on the forum that's just all around general happiness lol its pretty great. Can't believe the game is coming so soon

Nah, it's slash and burn. An ancient and real farming technique where you burn things down to make it grow better. #themoreyouknow

The burnt remains of the old plants help prepare the soil for new plants.

Like adding a nice layer of fertilizer made out of your ancestors. And you'll join them!

I had forgotten about slash and burn. XD That's a bit dark, though; you (a plant) get to live, but you do so using the charred, twisted remains of your own ancestors.

If it makes it any better, chances are they're at most your siblings, not your ancestors.

Farmers rarely make seeds for immediate use out of their current harvest. If they produce their own seeds at all.

I wonder how ruins will work with the horse / walrus. Cryonis / magnesis / stasis probably won't work, but bombs are well integrated into the paraglider. I hope that horseback bomb tossing / rolling from Twilight Princess is back (Yes, that was in Twilight Princess. Play it again.) It'd almost certainly come to greater use in Breath of the Wild's open world.

Never really actually considered using the bombs while riding the horse in TP.

It was bothersome enough just using the horse.

Apparently during a thunderstorm you can throw your metal equipment at an enemy and the lightning will be attracted to it and strike the enemy. Getting struck by lightning does a lot of damage.

Okay, several spoilers in one day when I'm not even stalking gaming sites. Maybe I should just go dark for the entire of February :/

@IceClimbers
I wonder if extreme gamers will shield surf decked out in solid metal armor carrying a tall metal rod (stolen from the postman of course) during lightning storms for sport

@JaxonH Oh I'm going to try this

@Haru17 We should just make a new thread or enter an old one which nobody likes to visit and continue our talk over there
