Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Part II - Oops, I Got Sidetracked Again.

[Daisy Jane]

isn't the trial of the sword basically their "cave of ordeals?"
i always liked that it was always a litmus test for me of how far i could get (out of ALL of them, i liked the third the best

 

[Daisy Jane]

The trick with Lynels is stunning them with arrows to the face.

It makes fighting them very easy.

thanks. i remember seeing that.
i think my problem is - i still always have trouble activating slow-motion-butt-kicking mode.

Sword Trials are much harder than the Cave of Ordeals I'd say.

One thing you can do is use a flaming weapon if there is tall grass around: setting it on fire should allow you to bust out the glider, get some air and just let loose.

Try using a double/triple bow. They get staggered and you can jump on their back (like you would a horse) and wail away.

Just got through all 120 shrines.

I had a dream last night that I played this. It's been a few months. Maybe I'll get back into it tonight.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Probably will be taking on Ganon the next time I play. Actually kind of hesitant to do so for some reason.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

A bit underwhelmed by the ending (got the true one), but all in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Only second to Chrono Trigger for me on my all time favorite game list.

Any updates on the 2nd, storyline DLC? I’ve seen so little information on it.

not a word. which is weird. we heard so much about DLC 1 before it launched.

in other news i got my amiibo cards. so awesome.

 

[Afino]

yeah, I'm surprised we don't have a release date on this yet

but, I'm already on a backlog before I finish Odyssey, then USUM, Rocket League, End is Nigh, etc. I'll catch up eventually.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Booted the game up. Was greeted with a new side quest, which was pretty cool and get rewarded with one of the dumbest looking anime armours ever designed.

Yeah. Hate that they're pushing Xenoblade crap.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Still enjoying coming back to the game and just wandering.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Yeah. Hate that they're pushing Xenoblade crap.

why are they? it doesn't even seem organic at all. at this rate why not a Mario Armour.

Mario doesn't need extra advertising.

Xenoblade 2 could use all the exposure it can get and BotW has a lot of anime qualities (and almost all JRPGs delve deeply into anime-tropes)

Plus finding the armour was pretty cool. A nice surprise when booting up the game! I hope they do more of these "here is a sidequest!" freebies.

The EA saga makes me appreciate what Nintendo does even more.

Still they aren’t immune. It still bugs the shit out of me they have locked costumes behind the amibo pay wall with zero ways to unlock them through game play.

that is so a bug. esp. that they'd make more money if they offered it as a DLC extra. i wouldn't mind doing that, though i like my amiibo cards now

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I think this might be challenging Chrono Trigger as my favorite game of all time. I beat the game a few weeks ago, and I'm still coming back and doing nothing except wandering around, getting into fights, seeing sights, upgrading armor, finding seeds, and doing the occasional remaining conversation quest, and I'm still loving it to death.

right?!. i'm very itchy to play this again. i keep telling myself no. LoZ: Breath of the Wild does not = groceries for this week.. with my new amiibo cards, i feel i can totally (hopefully) get everything (all the weapons, costumes etc, though the randomness as eff, drives me nuts)

 

[No Fun Shogun]

On that note, I am now fully upgraded slot-wise for weapons, bows, and shields, so my character is now essentially maxed out other than the trial of the sword and fully upgrading all of my armor after having already done everything else main story-wise, having beaten all 120 shrines, having cleared all four divine beasts, and having recovered all of Link's memories as well. Probably will keep coming back to wander a few more times at least before I move on (or the DLC comes out). Not sure I have a desire to start anew with the Master Mode any time soon, picking up from the very beginning seems extremely daunting to me and not necessarily in my wheelhouse to just unlock things again with tougher enemies.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

How many korok seeds do you need to max out weapon/shield slots?

I got 80 on my first run and 140 on my second.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Forget exactly how many, probably 350-450.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Forget exactly how many, probably 350-450.

441 in total. next time when i play this is going to be my goal.

 

[KingBran]

You people are hardcore.... I will never get all Korok seeds.
