video game The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - Available !

[feelslikeadream]

Omg I finally got to the 2nd row of hearts  I can't believe how many hearts it took to get there.

 

I do love the shrines in TotK (better than BotW, if I recall correctly), but sooooo many of them can be completed using just stasis. I ignore the intended mechanics ALL the time and just make myself platforms to get to places, stasis balls so I can grab them and put them in holes without the intended mechanic, etc. etc. They made it too powerful

[Eóghan]

just visited the well in karariko and found a diary in it, lowkey made me tear up

 

one of my favorite side quest in BoTw is the one involving the ex-Yiga who left the clan to start a family in Kakariko, he has 2 daughters (Cottla ad Koko) and his wife was killed by the Yiga clan.  i think it's also related to a shrine quest in BoTw where you have to spy on the father and then fight a Yiga blademaster who stole the Kakariko orb.

[Eóghan]

i wanted to look up some feedback on that "well" and found this video, apparently this place has a more disturbing history than i thought

 

 

 

i did find a comment about the diary though

 

Quote

I think that the diary also talks about the deceased mother of the kid in the cave that you just saw. I remember that they mentioned their mother quite a lot in BotW with the dad and his 2 daughters, but now the fact that the mother actually wrote a diary in there and probably hid it is really sad. Makes me wonder sometimes how this game is rated 10+ lol

I was so unprepared for the first temple in regards to food  They couldn't put a cute pot somewhere

 

I did complete it first try though  

[ebaby]

this game has already passed my Breath of the Wild play time (on switch at least, I had it on wii U as well) 

 

I've done 2 temples and trying to slow down and just explore...I hope there's more story content after I do the 2 others and it's not a straight shot to ganon like last time 

 

 

[Rence]

This game should be called Tears of the Player 

[TeamThiem]

Finished the Fire Temple finally.  Those damn puzzles!  I got so confused trying to find the last two gongs.  Fell many times into the lava.  

 

Boss was easy.  Wind temple boss was more difficult.

[Magickarp]

Wearing the Hylian Hood down is cool, but the clipping is even worse than it already is up so 

The way i stopped playing for like 10 days & had no desire to go back, but yesterday & today have me hooked again  

I hate how they removed the Ancient Horse Armor tho

the way the whole Bill Trinen statement about TOTK's title being a spoiler makes so much sense now. I'm sure it was just a coincidence tho.

Anyways TOTK is such a great name given the context

Finally got Majora's Mask. Surprisingly wasn't too bad cuz i think the Gloom only made me lose 1 heart vs the many i would lose otherwise? Or maybe my armor was just good. 

 

EDIT: just fought a ______ and that final phase was   i used up like 7 fairies & max heals 

Spoiler

King Gleeok

 

My basic house design  the view is a slay, but i'm annoyed that once again there's a creep staying outside my house that won't leave.

Don't open unless u've gotten the Master Sword

Spoiler

EXACTLY asdfghjkl I've been waiting for someone here to get there so i can talk about it  It's also why i was stressing everyone to watch the memories in order. This was the moment i was melting down about

 

I got so sad after that memory that i decided to just see if i can glide next to the Dragon just to spend time with her, & i was so distracted by her hair at first, i never noticed the damn sword. Then i turned around and my jaw droppedT, like my arm hairs stood up  I didn't even go to the Korok Forest, my dumbass didn't realize how to until later on  but honestly i think that would only ruin the shocking experience and make it too obvious. Truly one of the BEST moments in gaming for me.

HOLY **** HOLY **** HOLY ****

The 1-2-3 punch i just experienced, & i'm not even doing the finale yet

I could've done these optional things at ANY moment since the start, but the fact i saved it for near the end was so perfect.

I highly recommend following the order the game coaxes u to. I technically mixed up the order of the 2nd & 3rd punch, but I think it works out way better imo. I'm so glad i didn't get spoilt on these moments.

 

GOTYGOTYGOTY

the 3rd punch was probably my highlight of the whole game

[Eóghan]

not me getting that "special" armor that Koltin is trading for in one attempt after he just opened his shop

 

I think I overdid it with the caves

[Magickarp]

One thing that annoys me about the game design of The Depths is that there almost isn't anything original to find in the Chests. It's 95% repurposed BOTW Amiibo or DLC armor. Even the armor u get for completing those 3 Mazes are from BOTW's DLC, & it's still useless  could they not bother to make it upgradable like the Royal Guards?

 

I wouldn't fault anyone who calls it $70 DLC tbh  it's a DLC that's worth $70. 

[Kern]

I don't understand what is the point of building a house in this game It's literally in the middle of nowewhere, there is no reason to be in that area, nothing in this house is something you wouldn't get somewhere else. At least in BOTW it was in the village. I love having my own house in RPGs but that quest here is a massive FLOP 

[Eóghan]

I've seen people being annoyed about bout doin story stuff out of order a few pages back, the "dragon tears" in this case

well I've just met Impa (70 hours in ) and she gave me the tutorial for the geoglyphs, I'm guessing she's one of the first peep you meet since she's between "lookout landing" and "rito village". I've avoided rito area on purpose, so it's on me. 

 

but anyway, after the tutorial she tells to go to the "Forgotten Temple" which is right next to where you meet her. at the "forgotten temple", you meet Impa again. there you've got the locations and the order in which to do them 

the game really spells it all out.

Omg I was doing this one temple where you have to get the orb to ride on the rails like a pinball but I never got the momentum so I was just gonna make a platform to ride on and manually ultra hand it in the hole but when I got there my platform had scooped it in the hole instead

 

ot: wheeled wonders shrine is demonic!

I love how this game just lets you do anything. I finished the Rito and Gerudo temples pretty quickly and then decided to slow down and just explore and do side quests. I was just sitting around waiting for Dondons to poop out some gems when I saw a rock fall from the sky. Decided to recall on it while I waited to see if there were any sky islands nearby 

 

faintly saw a shrine through a cloud and ended up on dragon head island (I think i accidentally bypassed all the other islands lol). See some vines to cut through, and suddenly I’m on a quest through the depths, get Mineru’s construct, and a couple hours later have the master sword

 

I feel like I wasn’t supposed to know about any of that until much later in the game, but there’s absolutely no barriers to any of it lol  

[Pink Ranger]

80 hours in and I’m on the final boss and died instantly  

 

currently on the run making 10000 food combinations so I can survive my third attempt  

 

I got the 

Spoiler

Hero of time set from the depths and with the master sword and hyrule shield I feel like I’m in Ocarina of time and it’s so orgasmic to see  

The plan is I think is to just explore more and get to more shrines, I’ve done 80 but feel like I wanna do them all before I tackle the boss again.

[Butters]

The way I have 120 hours playtime and don’t think I’ve even stepped into Rito village  just roaming around the depths collecting bomb flowers and armor 

[R.E.M.]

I'm really not enjoying my time in the depths so far  any tips on how to make it less daunting? It doesn't help that I literally cannot see ****.

I agree. I'd love a DLC (kinda like Skyrim had) with the focus being on building. Give me the option to build furniture using items in the world, let me place more units, add windows, colour swatches, etc. and PLEASE let me kick that creep off my property.

The thought that I can find pristine weapons keeps me trudging through all the gloom and darkness and annoying af mini alligators. Highly recommend having enough stamina and hearts and throwing brightbloom flowers around to illuminate your surroundings. I was scared of the depths at first too but yeah as you keep finding light roots and expanding your maps it gets less and less daunting

Build yourself a nice vehicle with giant brighbloom attached and enjoy the ride 

[Graves]

I've put 70 hours in so far, done 112 shrines and all of the dungeons, and yet... I still feel like I'm missing so much

 

Like, my depths map is patchy af. Barely touched the sky islands. Haven't visited Tarrey Town or Lurelin Village. There's so much to do. The fomo am feeling...

stock up on bright bloom seeds from caves and there's a certain armor set within the depths (scattered in 3 different areas) that gives you the ability to illuminate the area around you as you traverse the depths (won't go into details beyond that for the sake of spoilers)
