In my 4-5 hours of playtime I've already had more unique experiences here than in the entirety of most open world games I've played. There are plenty of familiar elements, but everything comes together so elegantly that it feels like one of those truly new experiences you only get a few of every gen.
If this is somehow sustained for the entirety of the game...whew. I wouldn't even know what to say.
I love how it's taken inspiration from the things Zelda inspired, e.g., Team Ico and Souls games, and somehow raised the bar in certain aspects for the teams that created those wonderful games.
This game can only be good for the industry as a whole.
I was hoping I'd be able to avoid hyperbole because there's plenty out there already for BotW, but what can I say. Feels like that once in a blue moon that I'm playing a true masterpiece for the first time.

This is genius. Thank you. Got what I needed!
Anyone know a good source for Hightail Lizards?

So I was randomly hunting down shrines around Dueling Peaks and somehow wound up running into (game-world enemy spoilers)
Had my arse absolutely handed to me about 15 times trying to fight it, but managed to use some ranged spears to keep it at bay and finally overcome it!
So awesome, it was a tough battle but not frustrating. I love the discovery elements in this Zelda. There is just stuff waiting to be found everywhere.
I was also rewarded with a (potential weapon spoiler?)
for my efforts in beating that bastard!

What's the best way to earn rupees? Assuming a method exists.

The speed of fast travel between FFXV and Zelda is a huge thing for me. It's not the fastest in Zelda, but it's definitely improved over most open world games... especially Final Fantasy.
1x firefly + 4x bokoblin fangs + pot = 50r

Looking around some of the icy mountains for luminous stones (it's really easy at night) and then trading them for a diamond for the guy in Zora's domain.
Hunting big game in the mountains (rhinos and moose) and cooking and selling skewers of prime and gourmet meat.
Five ina wheel. You can get a max of ten stamina upgrades.
Jesus lol
You can sell drugs in this game? Damn
Question: will I be able to continue my save if I go to beat the final boss? Only done 3/4

have we reached the point yet where people hone in on and obsess over what they consider to be the games flaws in an attempt to dismiss the notion that the game is as good as people say? how long until "Do you guys think Aonuma and Nintendo are aware of Breath of the Wild's poor reception?" is a thread?
Find the snow bowling mini game and watch the video in how to get a strike every time. It is by far the fastest way to earn rupees in the game.

So will (Akkala)
lighting all these torches with the blue fire actually do anything
Yeah, that thing was rad, I want to do the quest again. Too bad the weapon you get breaks apparently

I'm convinced this game's true default green tunic should be the Twilight Tunic.
It seems to match everything and fits perfectly within the style of the game. It replaced the box art default shirt for me a bit ago and I don't think I could ever go back to bright blue.
Twilight Princess Link design just keeps winning. I think it's a really timeless Link that fits in all sorts of styles and designs. I imagine they'll still continue using that design well into the future.
The Tunic of Winds is silly looking on an adult and the Tunic of Time is not really the right color and is a bit too simple for the game. I don't have 8Bit Link so I don't really know how the classic tunic feels in game. But it lacks pants. So yea.
Unless you're a version of Young Link, put on some pants.

And the proper tunic for this game lacks pants and that looks really weird on this Link

Actually, this is the game's default outfit. Sorry. It's just too cool not to be.
With its abilities it practically is the default outfit outside of extreme weather.

I completely agree with you, but I will say the 8bit "Hero" set does mesh really well with this game's art style. Even the lack of pants looks okay when wearing the full outfit.
That said, I still prefer TP over it.

My headcanon is that it makes sense too! There's such a huge influence of the Shiekah in this game, and in my particular playthrough, Kakariko village was one of the first places Link went to after waking. Surely he'd be interested in learning more about the ways of the Shiekah!

I'm not far into the game so I haven't seen much, but every time I open this thread I read about some cool or crazy thing you can do in the game that I had no idea about. It sucks that it's a little spoilery but it's exciting.
Had my first legitimate scare with 2 guardians last night. After updating the
Super intense and exhilarating! This game doesn't fuck around .
Sheikah Slate with the camera and other goodies, I decided to venture closer to Hyrule Castle to find the location of the first memory. Well, I ended up getting trapped inside a small, stone fort by 2 guardians. I managed to lure one up to the fort and bomb the crap out of him, but damn! No damage! I'm assuming their weak spot is their eye. Anyway, I ended up bombing and killing my horse, but managed to find another one that happened to be walking by. When I saw a window of opportunity, I jumped on the new horse and hauled ass away from the Hyrule Castle area. The guardians pursued me, but dropped off rather quickly. Thank you, Mr. Horse!

Well, glad I'm not the only one. I think all the particles were chugging.
