RIP logs
Collectors edition just landed but I've decided to stare at it for a few weeks until a finish a complete play through of BOTW... Lets go boys!
The new powers are far better than the ones in BOTW. I’ve been having an absolute blast so far.
Finally got my copy. Looks great. Very atmospheric intro.
How do you fuse to the bow? I was trying to work it out and now I’ve accidentally created a shield with a fire fruit stuck to it 
I’ve also just accidentally created the shittest weapon ever.
I really want to play this but finding it hard to justify 350 euros for a Switch and Zelda considering I very rarely play video games.
Installing the update now, gonna roll and fatty boom batty and hunker down for the night.
it's so fecking good
Look, I'm gonna need someone to talk me out of getting a Switch and this game. I have two young kids, one aged 3 and the other 8 months, and a full time job. Already quite set on buying an Xbox i September to spend countless hours playing Starfield. I fail to envision how consecutively indulging in two time-intensive games coincides with my role as a spouse and a parent of two.
I’ll do you a favour and tell you starfield will probably be bollocks if that helps
Is anyone playing this on the handheld switch?
This flight back to the temple of time is chaos
As you are aiming your arrow, hit up on the d padHow do you fuse to the bow? I was trying to work it out and now I’ve accidentally created a shield with a fire fruit stuck to it
Never played a Zelda game in my life. Might have to finally get a Switch for this.
I thought nintendo games cant be broken but what do you do apart from starting a earlier save?
Anyways so far, its still to early to say but it feels too much like botw2 for my liking and a crappy engineering game with spastic controls. Still im only 1% in.
There are other games than Zelda. But apart from that if the other nintendo franchises dont float your boat its probably not worth the money.
I just chopped some more trees and made a better bridge.
I was a big Nintendo fan growing up and love a lot of franchises but unfortunately I don't have a lot of spare time to play games. Zelda has always been my favourite franchise though so I'm conflicted
It’s worth getting a switch to play BOTW and then play this.
In that order too because it might be impossible playing BOTW after playing this from what I’m hearing and the first 5 hours would suggest likewise. It’s been absolutely awesome.
I've played about 20 mins and I'm already hooked.
Something inherently funny about spending time creating some sort of propulsion device and then when you test it out you just launch yourself flying into the abyss.
I just fought some boss on the sky island and it’s on that big plain circular platform in the middle. The thing I used to get across has floated away now and I’ve no idea how to get back across. Tried attaching a fan to my shield but that didn’t work.
Had to jump down in the pool and go back up and around.
Also sadly I didn't have a spare weapon that wasn't fused before I fought him... Had to fuse that item with my shield.
Yeah I jumped down too in the end.
I fused it onto the floating platform I used and it drifted away
Despite what I said earlier, the controls are starting to click a lot more after a few hours.
I finished the tutorial area and have calledit a day. Its the most demanding start to a Zelda game i remember. Im still spassing the controls though, throwing my weapons and stuff all over the place and gluing wrong stuff to my weapons. I think it will click but its so full of items, abilities and all kind of shit that seems hard to nail down on a controller.
I only play on handheld. I find it looks much better on the OLED screen than my OLED tv. Plus its a rush to play once the kids are sleeping and my wife usually wants to watch tv. Just started last night and scratched the surface. Love being back in that world
The none existing durability of weapons can feck off again.
The controls are really easy. You'll make the odd mistake attaching things at first but overall I'm finding them very intuitive.
Also the physics are insane. I just steered a glider by walking across its wings and then dived off it into the pool around the temple.

I don't remember that bothering me so much in the last game but it seems odd to have kept it in when it was so universally hated.
Really annoyed with myself for making plans this weekend.
Does it run well? My partner has a switch so could use that
I'm so fecking jealous of you guys playing it. I need to get it before seeing too many spoilers from checking this thread.
I never had an issue with it. You always had another weapon and chucking weapons in monsters faces for the kill felt great.
Yeah, perfectly. I played BOTW all on handheld and it was great. The screen is big enough that you see all the details in the massive world but small enough that you don't see as much of the graphical limitations compared to PS/MS consoles. You notice more of that when you play it on a 4k tv
The way I've seen it explained is weapons won't be as rare this time, and there will be more of them so you'll have more ways to experiment with different combinations to see what works and what you like. You won't be preserving them, you'll go through them and replace them with ease
Great thank you
