That's the order Purah pushes you towards as well.

Whelp, I took the time to get ToTK running on Yuzu and it is working really well. Much better and less jarring that docked switch on my TV. Honestly, I thought it looked terrible on docked switch.
If you have an early switch model and a mid tier pc, it is absolutely worth the time to mod, dump and get everything running on PC. If you have an early model switch, it is probably also worthwhile to overclock your switch, since I hear 1080 60fps is possible somehow?
It is a treasure of a game that is held back by archaic hardware.
Also, since emu is being discussed, I want to clarify that I purchased ToTK full price on day 1. Nintendo deserves all the sales they have gotten for this one.

I just looked it up and it seems like you can transfer save data off the Switch to use in Yuzu, I might give it a shot later to see how it runs on PC.

Nice! I hadn't gotten too far before the jank of it got to me so I just started over.
Im on a 3060 laptop and with the 60fps mod, dynamic fps mod and 1080p rendering I get about 30-40fps on average, when shaders aren't compiling. So the framerate is a bit better than stock switch but the resolution and anti aliasing is much better. It does dip down to 25 sometimes, but I feel like it does that on the switch a lot too. No fps counter on the switch for me to be sure.

My initial thought was eh! After coming down, but soon realize some things I remember was not the same and have felt almost lost of where I was. I had 700hrs in BoTW.
I’ve been enjoying running around exploring. I’m ignoring the story so far. I’m going to start doing them soon!

Agreed, calling the horse probably would have been better off being in the radial menu in place of the amiibo functionality. Just have it grayed out unless the horse is close enough to be called or something.

Yeah it wasn’t great, seemed extremely easy to beat in unintended ways. I barely touched the minecarts which most puzzles revolved around.
But it’s easy and you get a pretty good reward for it imo.

At the moment Robbie is just telling me to go to the Hateno lab, but he can't go yet because he wants to see Josha's research, who doesn't tell me anything interesting. I suppose I need to progress through the game first? But what does "progress" even mean there...
I'm not getting any quest from Purah either, either I need to progress for that one too, or it's because I've already found Autohand.

Anyway the Fire Temple is kinda cool, linear and I definitely did it in the unintended way which is always awesome when I look up how to actually do after finishing it

So, he's saying programming the physics like what we see is hard? Damn if thats how other Devs are thinking and gushing over. I'm just playing didn't realize.

Yeah I think at how open it is is the kicker. The player basically has developer tools. Its more akin to Gary's Mod than anything else.

I do too. But hey, if you're happy with the performance, all the better. It is what it is. I for one can't wait for Switch 2 or whatever they'll call it, but the game is just too much fun, so I guess I literally can't wait for better hardware to play TotK. And besides, it kinda speaks for how great it is, that I actually put up with (in my opinion) terrible performance.
Here's to TotK!
And even if the fps dips hard when using the Ultrahand, I totally love it. Have definitely reached places in ways I don't think Nintendo ever intended. Which, in a way, probably were their exact intentions with the ability.

I just came upon the place in that first video; I have no idea if I'm supposed to be able to do anything there yet, although it looks like it will be a fetch quest to bring four parts to a central thing again...
So there's a robot factory, with a robot missing its head, arms, and legs. There are four "depots" around the factory, each named after one of the missing parts. I haven't seen a head yet though, so either I haven't looked enough, or it will be something to do later on (and the head will probably ask me to retrieve its arms and legs).

Pretty much, but I enjoyed it because they aren't very far from the area in question and each zone is a short but unique puzzle.

Probably because you already get Autohand. I also found a side quest to find a guy who stuck on a cave and he sent message bottle. I didn't find the bottle but found him. The side quest is auto activated and completed. Maybe your quest is also already completed but you didn't realize it. I didn't get any new side quest from Purah, only Robbie and Josha. If Robbie already telling you to go to Hateno lab, the quest most likely is already activated. Try looking you quest list

I've completed the regional disturbances, most other main quest I think there's only one left remaining for me. I also did what I think is all of the side stuff related to the Underworld - though I'm still searching for some rogue pieces of clothing but I'm certain they're laying about in areas of the map down there I have yet to illuminate, but swear I've been to every sky island and haven't found all those old maps. Maybe some are in caves, can't remember, but I certainly haven't been to all the caves. I need to do more exploration on the ground in Hyrule proper and there are 2-3 regions I've either not entered at all or just barely.
I do and don't like the shrines as much as BotW in this one - I feel like some are really good, but it feels like half the time it's a tutorial shrine or that the overall length of some of these shrines is shorter than BotW (less building upon concept, or less elaborate building upon concept, not that BotW was amazing at this either (I enjoyed some of the DLC shrines the most in BotW and after that was hoping we would get some quite elaborate shrines in TotK but mostly feel like that didn't happen) and maybe I haven't done enough, but I'm sure I've done 50-60 by now or more - and WAY too many of the blessing Shrines which are just pick up and go. I think Shrines could really go in general, work heart pieces/stamina vessels back into the better side quests like they used to be in old Zelda, or even have a few scattered throughout the overworld as they used to be also. Would help incentivize those things better, though they have been better incentivized here over BotW, that would further help that aspect IMO. I do understand some people need these tutorial shrines because some can play the game many hours and not realize something is possible and admittedly this happens to me sometimes, so it's a fine line of figuring out how to manage that. Simultaneously, the player has already played X hours, so who's to say they'll ever even enter that particular shrine anyway? I think it's admirable but questionable in the end. But if they did go, work more of these sorts of puzzles into the overworld environment in relation to side quests, etc. As it stands, most of them are broken easier than in BotW so surely that can't be the reason to isolate them anymore could it?

Shrines are tutorials to helps do stuffs in the worlds
temples and quests are fors people who were fans of the older Zeldas with lowers challenge
The main world is for everyone, basic all thes way up to pro level gamers with high combat + building skill ceilings like Champions Road

Yeah I don't disagree overall or anything, just wish somehow they could take the good ones to the next level, more intricate and build up on the concepts presented even more. Being that players don't -have- to complete shrines I feel like they really could do this. And I'd love to see hearts/stam back in the world for rewards.
Amazing game either way, just thinking moreso for the future.

So maybe I just need to switch back to the Japanese voice acting (even though I am annoyed at how the Japanese voice actors enunciate "Link"), but whenever someone says "My stone... My Secret Stone" in English it sounds super gay. I don't know why it bothers me so much. Couldn't they have thought of a better name for the stone than "secret stone?"

Hard to say, there are so many awesome and serene areas. I think many random overworld locations could be this for me. I do like the waterworks too, wish it was longer. Most of the game is just gorgeous to me. For the life of me don't get the graphic haters on this, to me it's stunning.

Those are pretty awesome, it does not deplete any additional resources from your inventory either.

Okay, I uh stumbled upon a place that gave me a new Main Quest objective. I would like some advice.
Am I at risk of skipping a lot of stuff or even getting to the "end game" portion if I follow it?
If you have are already done with most of the game or have completed, please respond in spoiler text.
Its from the Thunderhead Isles where you have to open a door using hearts, quest is called Guidance from Ages Past

My favorite areas visual wise are all on the sky,the very first islands, and the Wind and Water temples,the look of the temples is majestic
While i don't find it pretty, Zora's Domain when it rains slug is interesting it looks like it rains shit and piss from the heavens

You are supposed to get the quest by doing the main quest otherwise, but honestly starting there you aren't missing much and can do the other part later that comes before hand.
I guess to further clarify you will come across this the right way if you continue the main quests you have as is, so you can avoid it for now if you want to do it in a more linear way is what I mean. But I did it from the same point as you.

That's the thing. At the moment, Robbie tells me he wants to stay in at Lookout Landing because he's interested in Josha's research, and Josha tells me to focus on the "doc"'s investigations. If that doc is Robbie, then I'm out of options, and if it's Purah ( who keeps telling me to investigate the four regions) then I probably need to progress through the story.
Nothing in my quest list in any case.
NanaMiku

Welp, that's really weird. Maybe the trigger for the hateno lab quest is when you demonstrate the autobuild in front of Josha and Robbie. Maybe try to go to Hateno lab to see if Robbie will be there?
darth.shrimp
Member
Been there, done that. His lab only has a paper on the door saying to find him in Lookout Landing. After a quick search on the internet, it seems you do have to continue the main quest first.
I suppose it will be the same for the great fairies; I went to Woodland Stables and found the band's conductor, he only talks about the newspaper company in Heda, so I probably need to go there first before I can do this one. The drummer I helped earlier was nowhere to be found though...
NanaMiku

Welp, didn't realized you can get locked out like that.
For the great fairies, I helped the horn player first before went to the newspaper company. I met the conductor much later on. the instrument player you helped will appear when it's time to go to the great fairy.
every great fairy quest basically split into two part: you need to find the instrument player and do a puzzle on how to bring the band to the great fairy. the player you helped will appear when it's puzzle time

I haven’t gotten that far in story. But if it’s like BotW, defeating Ganon will end the game and get credits! There is no plus game.
To continue, don’t defeat Ganon. If you defeat Ganon and want to play same file, you must reload the game before fighting Ganon.
