This, my friends, is good news. I've been holding out on a LOT of purchases from the eShop, in hopes of getting physical releases... Snake Pass, Blaster Master (though I did finally give in and buy it during the last sale, haha), Yooka Laylee, Blossom Tales... I had to have a long talk with my step kids about how sad it is that digital is becoming the norm... they didn't understand it until I pointed out that I have a broken Nintendo Wii that has about $1,200 of games purchased from the eShop that I no longer have access to, haha.
A lot of people are mentioning how important the story is... I’m going to have to agree. Now that the time has passed, I can see that the story was garbage and the voice acting was even worse.
The timeline used to be super important to me, though it’s very evident that the game creators don’t have a true timeline in mind when making the games. Putting together the history is definitely an after thought.
It was a welcomed change, for sure. However, I hope they don’t completely abandon the original formulas forever. And give us another 2D Zelda from time to time. Thanks.
This game was my first experience with Mario, actually. I played it while my family was waiting to be seated at a Marie Callender’s. What was even more interesting was that it was a table top arcade. Looking forward to this!
@Biff_ARMStrong I completely forgot about Urbosa’s Fury!! Yeah, the beginning of the DLC 2 pack was the only time I had ever used the Majora’s Mask. I was reading everyone was talking about how difficult it was, so I opened my inventory and thought, “What items would be the most useful in this moment.”
I’ve been struggling with Thunderblight Ganon till last night. Especially the third form... couldn't seem to get the rhythm down to perform a Flurry Rush (or whatever it’s called.) But alas, he has been defeated, praise the Lord! Haha.
@Biff_ARMStrong Oh, interesting. Admittedly, I’m not playing on Master Mode. Seemed too daunting of a task at the time, haha! Maybe after I finish this play through and work through Odyssey, I’ll give it a go.
I’m intrigued to know how many of them actually beat it in that amount of time. That being said, I’m intrigued to see what retirement homes looks like in the future... I imagine the recreation room will be filled with video games.
Or use the Majora’s Mask. I only died twice, once without it, and the second time I was being a little too bold, haha. I actually enjoyed the segment of the DLC.
No spoilers, but I hope that this is a weapon that you can permanently unlock... though I’m not holding my breath... of the wild.
I try to leave the Keese for last. Or you can even use the Stasis to freeze them till you can take them out. Stock up on bomb and electric arrows. You can just stay at a high point and pick them all off. I promise it’s possible! You can do it!
@rjejr A tip: I’ve been using electric arrows, and it makes the battles much easier. If you’re struggling with them, you can either wear the Majora’s Mask, or you can always travel to another area to brush up on your skills. Hope this helps!
@olrodlegacy A good trick it to use the Discord app. I’ve got 35 people to one location for a raid before. It’ll also surprise you to see how many people are still playing actively!

Re: Video: Watch Link Beat Up Some Crowds In A New Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition Trailer
@AlphaJaguar Agreed! I was thinking the same thing! Although, this game was a little too repetitive for my tastes. Still good in small doses though.

Re: The Latest Zelda: Breath of the Wild Free Gift is a Bit Mean to Kass
@Biff_ARMStrong Agreed. The character is a terrible lyricist, haha. He would ask if the song “moved you” which always made me laugh.
Re: Best Buy Has an Exclusive Mario Kart 8 Deluxe SteelBook
I’m going to go out on the limb to possibly look like an idiot, haha. But what is a steel book?
Re: Review: Yooka-Laylee (Switch eShop)
I would pay full price and more, without batting an eye, if there was a physical release. I’ve decided I’m done with digital.

Re: The Latest Zelda: Breath of the Wild Gift Should Help You With 'That' Hard Bit in the DLC
@Biff_ARMStrong Exactly. I used arrows and picked them off with headshots... especially the electric arrows. Bomb arrows were pretty effective too.
