No, spoiler strat

Spoiler

you can break the ice with crionis

Edit: Still the best moment in the game for me, looove it.

That blows my mind. I just did it like a bad ass Robin Hood.

 

[Wallach]

Is the Outfit you get from doing all the shrines the same one you get from the 30th anniversary Link amiibo?

Nope, though I think all of those sets carry the same set bonus when upgraded (which is not particularly useful).

 

[Inferno313]

Link and Mipha OTP

Mipha's the worst fucking character in the game.

Y'all going nuts for an aquatic loli. smfh.

 

[akidnamededdy]

I think they don't even get marked in the album if you found them. I better safe them up to do them at the end one after one.

They do, the picture gets a little filmstrip icon on it when you've found that memory.

 

[victreeb3l]

the real cheap part is the moment when the Korok sees a "ghost" and sprints back a few meters, which comes out of nowhere. It's literally trial and error. :/

Yeah its so stupid. I'm just gonna max out on stealth buffs before I try this again. Failed a few times and got angry so I warped away and took my frustrations out on some moblins lol

That blows my mind. I just did it like a bad ass Robin Hood.

Same. I found out about the easy way until after I wasted nearly 50 arrows. Super cool still.

 

[PillarEN]

Do things like the fire rod or ice rodbreak by just using the magic? Or do they only break if you melee with them?

 

[Inferno313]

At first, I thought that meant we could rewatch them.

I was going to rewatch them all in chronological order before going into the castle. I guess I have Youtube for that.

Lol, that was a bit savage.

I've broken them up just swinging them around in empty air to set stuff on fire.

 

[victreeb3l]

Only if they let my Link get a pretty husband

we were meant for each other, prince Sidon ;_;

Dat smile and sparkle. He's awesome.

Link and Mipha OTP

Word. But Link x Riju sounds pretty great too. Though he's probably way too old for her, being 100+ and all.

Still, not as creepy as the Hylian with

Spoiler

the child Zora

lol. That one was eyebrow raising.

 

[PillarEN]

Ok. That's good to know because I was thinking of abandoning a torch for the rod but I'll keep the torch for lighting purposes.

By that I mean keep in my inventory. I need it for something.

You can rewatch them.

 

[KHlover]

Yeah, Aonuma confirmed multiple endings months and months ago, before anyone gets up my ass about spoilers.

No memories are missable.

Spoiler

If you haven't yet, you'll eventually progress one of the main quest such that it'll give you a list of memories with a clue for each one.

I wouldn't word it that way. They're counted as main quest, but it's possible you never accept that quest in the first place.

Spoiler

The memories linked to the pictures are *all* missable. There are technically no unmissable memories, but as long as you do the titans you can't miss those memories. The ones tied to locations are pretty easy to miss, acctually.

You can rewatch them under "Memories" in the Quest menu.

 

[Inferno313]

You can rewatch them.

How? When I hit A on the photograph, my only option is a greyed out "delete". Does that occur once you find them all?

I took "missable" to mean permanently so. You're correct though.

I did it on my second try with no stealth buffs. When he walks into the tree log follow him until you are at the end of the log, wait there for him to run back a few steps, after that it's smooth sailing.

 

[tenderbrew]

It's under the quest log on the other menu screen. All movies are, not just the memories.

Still less salty than zelda.

 

[Green Mamba]

So thus far the only Zelda games I haven't seen with overt references to are Zelda II and the two Four Swords titles, and Zelda II is a maybe due to there being locations named for the sages in OoT, names of which originated in Zelda II. Are there any Four Swords references found yet? I've seen places named after areas from the Oracle games even, which tend to be among the most forgotten Zelda titles.

EDIT: Actually I haven't found any Spirit Tracks reference yet, and I guess no Triforce Heroes one yet though I've never played that so I guess I wouldn't know it if I saw it.

Hell yeah. Thanks!

 

[Kinsei]

It's from a different menu (I think it's the quest log) you can also see the flashbacks from the main story as well. I plan on watching them all in chronological order right before the final battle.

 

[D_psipher]

Lmao. but no way. I don't believe Nintendo in this day and age would add something like that.

It is there. My jaw hit the floor. It was raining at night but it happened.

 

[Darkman M]

Sure it's been said but Zelda's design in this game is amazing, easily the best Zelda.

 

[Kard8p3]

What do you guys do to make money?

My usual plan is

Spoiler

getting luminous stones. I know you can trade 10 for a diamond, but diamonds sell for 500 while 10 stones go for 700.

 

[Wallach]

So... did you jump just to ruin his day?

[Ultra Numb]

Finally got a decent amount of hours in [been very busy lately] - and I must say, the game is absolutely not overhyped.

Incredible. Will and should go down as one of the greatest video games of all time without question.

 

[Inferno313]

Sure it's been said but Zelda's design in this game is amazing, easily the best Zelda.

Yup! Despite the inconsistent VA, I love her characterization too. She's very Hermione-esque, and I find that really charming.

I imagine by unmissable they just mean that they never expire after a certain point and become completely unobtainable

 

[jimmytutron]

is there more than one

Spoiler

coliseum? Mine had a regular red lynel, i thought it was supposed to be a silver one. not that I was gonna fight it I just wanted a picture

 

[Danj]

Go to the stable that is on the way to Kakariko village. It's the Dueling Peaks stable (I think?). In the field around the stable there is an area with a shit ton of swords stuck into the ground, claymores I think. There are like 20 of them in a very small area. Should be fairly easy to find, I recall it being a little north east of the stable.

So I found the Dueling Peaks stable, but I didn't find a field with a ton of swords. I found a Woodcutter's Axe and a Farmer's Pitchfork but that's it. When you say the field around the stable do you mean the one with the wild horses in?

EDIT: nevermind I found it, it was a bokoblin encampment.

Gotcha. I'll give this a shot when I get home tonight.

Still less salty than zelda.

😂

 

[D_psipher]

No, gotta save the kingdom. Plus, he didn't look up to the job.

 

[kunonabi]

150 tries in a row and still haven't gotten a special Amiibo weapon to drop.

I think stuff there ranks up as you progress further. After the next blood moon you can go back and see if a higher rank Lynel is there.

Every time I really want to climb somewhere it starts raining. It's incredibly frustrating.

I've gotten the armor, didn't know there was amiibo specific weapons? What are they?

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

The third photo from your album, that's not in the very first area, right? At first it looked like it and I decided to return to the great plateau. But now for no reason it seems, lol.

 

[Firemind]

Mipha's the worst fucking character in the game.

Y'all going nuts for an aquatic loli. smfh.

I unlocked a memory today and this is what happened:

Zelda: Waaaah why isn't this sheikah slate working?
Zelda: Waaaah I don't want to do this.
Zelda: Waaaah stop following me around.
Link: Bitch pls

 

[Glix]

Anyone else have crazy issues following the love note down the river?

It got stuck under this big enemy structure where there was crazy fast current. I died a few times, luckily I didn't have to restart the quest. Eventually I just got super frustrated and threw a bomb at the blockage and it worked! I was sure it was gonna destroy the barrel.

 

[Zomba13]

150 tries in a row and still haven't gotten a special Amiibo weapon to drop.

The special weapons seem pretty rare from the Link Amiibo. Not seen Sword from 8-bit link but when I was trying for the white tights of windiness I got the WW Boomerang like 4 times in a row.

I didn't even know Ganondorf gave a weapon until I saw that image list (and then got it the first time I used it after seeing that).

 

[Totakeke]

Has anyone let people who are usually not gamers play this game yet? My brother's gf who is hardly a gamer at all seems to be really enjoying this. I was concerned that she might struggle with the controls and the game might seem a bit too intimidating.

 

[akidnamededdy]

I got

Spoiler

Ganondorf's TP sword the other day.

 

[Jetman]

Haven't started playing yet. Been distracted by Horizon Zero Dawn and work.

Now that people have been playing and finished this, where does BotW fit in the Zelda timeline? Wind Waker right?

 

[careksims]

Gotta say I love these versions of Gerudo and Zora. The best ones yet. I adore Riju.

 

[Glix]

150 tries in a row and still haven't gotten a special Amiibo weapon to drop.

Considering you can only scan each amiibo once a day, I don't see how this can be true. Additionally I have scanned amiibo with exclusive items 5 times and gotten 2.

Mipha's design is dope, but man her personality and voice acting is right up there with Zelda and Revali as trash tier. The other two champions are pretty alright, especially the Goron dude (and I normally think Gorons are dumb). I really love the Old Man on the Great Plateau, too.

Either that one or the downfall timeline.

It's

Spoiler

so far in the future it's hard to say for sure, but I'm seeing some people say it's in the downfall timeline for some reason.

I don't think it particularly matters. Much like the timeline in general lol.
