That's pretty much my entire point, and what I was trying to say ... but it doesn't really just apply to the fire mechanic. With the exception of the very early parts of the game (like, the first 6 -10 hours depending on how you played), you were never at a loss for "stuff" needed to solve a...

@HauntedCastle I guess we just disagree here ... at least with how things specifically were and specifically are now. A lot of the older "puzzles" were terrible ... but at the same time, like I said above ... when you have too many options and the tools required are so readily available, it's...

One of the problems with BotW that nobody seems to either recognize and/or want to talk about is the "con" side to the open world and multiple solutions to the puzzles. On the one hand, it seems ingenious and "true to life" that there are multiple ways to solve a given problem. But in a video...

"story" means nothing to me, so no. I mean, a good story is cool, but I don't care either way. All I care about is something fun to do. If I wanted a story, I'd go read a book by a good author. For video games, I'll stick to just wanting fun stuff to do.

Me either, but from what I have seen/read, a lot of people do. Honestly, on a general note, I HATE the term "dungeon" ...

This is an impossible question to answer unless we put a hard definition on "mini-dungeon" ... I just think all of us probably have different views on what constitutes a dungeon to begin with. Not necessarily here, but I have seen to many debates on whether or not the Divine Beasts are even...

Not only that ... but the weapons/shields don't conduct electricity, making them great for use in lightning storms

Combat shrines were/are fine, but could use some improvements. They do serve a purpose to teach you some fighting strats/methods that will serve you well during the rest of the game. They also serve to supply you with guardian weapons and shields. What I don't like about them is the same...

Honestly, I don't have any one thing that REALLY scares me and gives me the heeby-jeebies. I have normal, rational fears like any human probably does. But as for clowns, I was ok with them until the original Poltergeist movie came out when I was a kid. That movie's scene with the boy in his...

clowns ...

Forget the legal aspects of marriage for a moment. What marriage really means - from a relationship standpoint - is that you have found someone that you are willing to commit the rest of your life to, and them to you. You are professing to each other that no matter what happens, you're going...

We don't need to debate our positions on whether or not Shrines should be considered "mini-dungeons" or not. But because you brought it up, I'll just voice that I do not consider them mini-dungeons. On topic ... what do I want to see done with them in the future? Well, I want a lot fewer of...

oh crap ... sorry. I read it as "things you like and things you don't". Ok, so let me start over ... I really enjoyed all the Zelda games I played, even SS. So, I have to answer this thread with things I didn't like in a game I liked LOL. So, in SS, I hated Fi. She annoyed me to death all...

Well ... I have a decent list of likes/dislikes for BotW (as well as all the other Zelda games I've played) ... but I'll just concentrate on BotW right now ... LIKES: The purity of the freedom to climb, walk, glide, run, swim, etc. pretty much anywhere and everywhere. It made just playing...

so far ... pretty much everything. It's just been one of those days ...

I pretty much always use full sets, especially once I have them upgraded to at least 2*. The set bonuses are too hard to pass up. That said, I'm pretty much in climbing gear all the time unless I need to be in something else. Now, if you wanna know which sets I use the most ... that's easy...

It would have been amazingly epic had it been made with a linear story line, sequences, dungeons, etc. This does NOT mean you take away the open world concept. You just set up the game where it requires you to do the plateau, then whatever order for the main villages/races and their respective...

Interesting ... I never paid attention to see if a headshot on an unsuspecting enemy is more damaging than one on an aware enemy. I need to do some testing to see.

I agree on the theory that the winter DLC is the "real deal", and that the stuff we got so far is just to tide us over until that comes. I have been saying since day one that you can't evaluate the cost of the DLC unless you consider 2 very important things: 1. On a superficial level, you...

I remember the first time that happened to me ... and I had NO clue what had just happened. Went to shoot, BOOM! I sat there stunned for a moment (me, not Link) wondering where the explosion came from. When Link got up, I looked around trying to see where the enemy was that shot me, but saw...

The one I recall being the absolute worst for me is from MM ... It's the Clock Town shooting gallery. The bow controls in that game were so bad (overall, the controls in that game and OoT were terrible, even if they were good for that day and age) ... so being able to quickly aim and shoot all...

Are you asking about Level 2 of the beginning trials? If so, the only explanation I can give you is that he's getting head-shots on the bokos, which do double-damage compared to normal bow shots. Also, I think it's level 3 or 4 where he starts off using stasis on the boko up high on the...

Bomb arrows are just right, especially considering their weaknesses (can't use them up close lest you blow yourself up with it ... can't use in the rain ... can't use in Eldin due to heat ... cold weather messes with them too). I honestly like using just normal arrows more than anything else...

Wind Waker HD was the first Zelda game I had played since the original LoZ, and Zelda 2 a LONG time ago. So, needless to say, I was completely unfamiliar with typical Zelda conventions, and was working through the entire game learning how a Zelda game really works, as well as how the little...

Relax man ... first of all, that vid is not me, and I have no association with it. Second, I am not "advertising" for this video. Third, I learned a TON from watching that vid. If you have any ability to analyze what you see, you can learn a ton from it too. Just starting off in level 1 of...

Watch this video, carfully, and at least a few times ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNIrprNb77o&t=12s That guy breezes through master mode's TotS, and never takes a single hit of damage. Pay close attention to exactly what he does and how he does it on each level ... make sure you...

They could have made it so that its the ONLY weapon you can kill Ganon with, along with this list of "things" to consider - all of which would require a pre-disposed progression in the game: You'd obviously have to find the sword, and be strong enough to get it in the first place (this is...

The implementation of the Master Sword in this game makes no sense, not to me. It's too easy to get 13 hearts and get it, but then it's relatively weak unless used only to "seal away the darkness". But when that happens, it IS very useful ... 60 damage per hit, and about 200 durability...

I should start by saying it's been so long since I played MM that I had forgotten exactly what STT looked like. After looking it up, I recalled everything instantly. My memory is that it was not all that hard. It was a little tedious and took a few tries, but it was not that bad. I liked it...

You're right, they are good "utility" bows ... but, if you can "afford" to keep a Great Eagle Bow with you, do it. That bow is a 28*3 wooden bow that essentially has quick-shot as a base feature. Though, some have expressed that (for whatever reasons they have) that they like to have at least...

Getting the rubber armor, and upgrading it to at least 2* gives you the "unshockable" buff/bonus ... it's AWESOME to use that for either lightning storms or when encountering any enemies with electricity as a "weapon" (electric keese, elec wizzrobes, or 'normal' enemies using electrical weapons...

At first I didn't use the shield much, but the more I played the game the more I loved using it. There's nothing quite like a perfect block/parry whether its on a normal enemy, guardian laser, or even just an octorock.

I had the Hinox thing happen to me in Master Mode Trial of the Sword ... I had him down to about half health, stunned him with Stasis+, shot his eye, and then rushed in as he was falling so I could get the last couple of hits on him before I could get his eye to pop out... however, I got too...

If you mean "do you like the way the mechanic works to re-populate the world with enemies?", then yes, I like it. I think that one of the small flaws in it is (or "was", see comments at end of this paragraph) that it should not regen the enemies in your immediate area. The game/world is large...

I can't say any are better/worse than others ... I mean, give a boko/moblin a bow with elemental arrows (or a Lizal for that matter) and you are still playing the same "dodgeball" game as any other elemental arrow. All of them suck, but I have to say dropping equipment is the most cumbersome...

Gotta have an ancient bow for those long shots you can't afford to miss, as well as to make it super easy to farm the specific dragon part you want/need ... Gotta have a few Savage Lynel bows - 3 or 5 shot versions - and hopefully with the quick-shot or durability buff. I don't need the attack...

That's why I said the right way to do it would be to have them start like they do now, but have more spawn as you level up during the game. It could be just a few more added in key areas in Normal Mode ... but it could be a LOT more added everywhere in Master Mode.

I'm more than ok with normal arrows, but do find the elementals useful. Here's a little more insight to my thoughts: 1. Normal arrows do plenty of damage, especially with face shots and multi-arrow bows. They also don't cause any "commotion" around the area you shoot, so nothing is ever...

Well ... If there were a lot more guardians from the start of the game (meaning all types), the game would likely be a bit too much in terms of difficulty. However, the end-game problem is that they are too easy. Between ancient arrows, stasis+, ancient armor with ancient proficiency...

She's a "nothing" character that most people only like because she's "cute". If she had been a hag who looked kinda like Impa looks now in BotW, but was the same in all other respects, nobody would care much about her, if they even cared at all.

That's a perfect example of what I was talking about in my post above. I don't get it. You don't have to make them "grotesque" to get the point across LOL

Re: the whole "uncanny" thing and making things life-like without doing it properly ... this is something that I have had to deal with as an architect and producing renderings of buildings... it works the same with inanimate objects as it does with animate objects. Thing is, if you try to make...

Stasis ... and more specifically Stasis+ ... may be one of the most useful and fun tools in the entire game. If you're not using it, you're missing out. As noted by others in this thread, potential uses are: having it act as "second sight" for just about anything you can interact with (same...

Tingle never made me uncomfortable ... he's just a weirdo. Telma was the bar/tavern owner in castle town, with "a leetle too much showing". Ghirahim was creepy, but funny too. He never bothered me. I just saw him as a very flamboyant and demented gay man.

The towns were WAY too small ... like pathetically small. At a minimum, I feel they should have been at least 5x larger in overall size, in all respects ... geographical coverage/area ... number of buildings/houses/shops/etc ... number of people in the towns ... things to do in the towns ...

I wouldn't care if Link was still in diapers, or if he had to use a cane to walk around ... as long as the gameplay is fun, who cares?

LOL ... I kinda forgot to answer the main topic of this post. Honestly, there's a LOT of things that I just can't wrap my head around re: the lore, story, history, etc. of this game. I'm not much into the story or timelines, so it doesn't bother me ... but if/when applying any type of logic to...

Actually ... I know of at least one example that's KINDA neat to think about. In Wind Waker HD on the Wii-U (not sure about the original version) ... Link starts off in "normal" clothing, which is a pair of orange/brown pants, and a blue shirt (tunic). Once you do X, Y and Z and get ready to...

The problem is, when you pull out the camera, he sees you using the camera. This is an 'alert' to the Lynel that you're not a Lynel. Same with the scope. I have to imagine that the "scope" is also a device like the camera that the Lynel sees you using, and it alerts him to the fact that...

Exactly ... there are things that can "inadvertently" trigger the otherwise fooled enemies into attacking you ... but at face value, the Majora's Mask works as designed on living Bokos, Moblins, Lizals and Lynels, as well as on all the night stals. Interestingly enough, you can even brandish a...
