Do you prefer this formula or the OOT one? Do you like the total freedom this game offers, or what linearity on some aspects?
How can the sequel be improved, and how do they make it feel fresh?

What the fuck dark beast theme is pure kino
I wake up every morning with a boner because of the dreams I have about Mipha.
She's my naughty little fishgirl who comes to lie in bed with me watching her favorite cartoons. Of course because of her autism I have no trouble tricking her into letting me touch her vagina. It's already wet, like always. I gently massage it until I hear her moan. Faster and faster until she can't take it anymore. After her first orgasm ever, I steer her hand to my hard penis. Showing her how to give me a handjob. Her innocent blushing face while I see her stroking my cock faster and faster makes me cum instantly.
Around that time I wake up with a boner and the depressed feeling of knowing real life is shit. Anyone else know these feels?
Is an Iron Sledgehammer the fastest way to kill a Talus?

Kass, fucking loved his riddles. In fact, I loved all shrine quests riddles. More games need more riddles.

No, there's much more powerful mining tools in Death Mountain and even then any high-level claymores like Edge of Dualities or Royal Claymores or high-level clubs like those dropped by Lynels will get the job done faster.
I am curious what is behind this champions gate.

Atmospheric as fuck desu senpai
have any of you guys tried going here?
>Trying to get into Termina before the DLC comes out
cheeky
It's apparent that less attention was given to composition and more to instrumentation and sound, which may achieve a certain atmospheric effect but sacrifices any kind of enduring significance or longevity.
The quality is rather scattershot, and what few good pieces exist are entirely derivative, resting on the laurels of previous games' musical achievements. Kataoka was clearly a little in over her head here, and was unable to develop themes that distinguished themselves on their own merits. This is the mark of a good soundtrack, and it's simply lacking here.
That's not to say there are no good tracks or that the score is a completely lost cause, but the highlights are few and far between. Put another way: have some fucking standards, dude. Don't just meekly accept whatever you get.
oh is that what it is? interesting
Agreed. But Hateno Village is better,
some questions
due to the first memorie it's confirmed it takes place in the TP timeline, right?
what's the secret behind the great plateau? why is it surrounded with giant walls? there is no way up to it
why is no one giving a shit about the triforce? what happened?
Nobody knows.
It's obviously in the hero failed timeline
It's based upon impressionist music, which was derided during it's inception but known universally praised.
Seems to have a similar affect with Breath of the Wild.
That song really gets me to slow down and take my time running whatever errands I'm in the village for. Top notch. Still, I'll see your hateno and raise you this.

People give Vah Medoh shit for various reasons, but that song is incredible.
>The Hylian Hood has a cool cape
I can't believe I went the whole game without this.
>Do you prefer this formula or the OOT one?
Honestly like both. Hope they continue on this path for a while though. Maybe integrate more items for travel.
Kill yourself for trying to ruin this thread with timeline autism. You faggots are the worst.
Yes, doesn't work, game literally says you "can't go any further" before you even reach it.
Vah Medoh was probably my favorite of the dungeons.
I feel like I'm the only one who loves this song.

I love the interpolation of Zelda's Lullaby in this song. Are there any other references or motifs of older Zelda songs in BotW, besides the obvious Epona's Song?
it's literally mentioned in the game, that it takes place way after TP, it's a fact
Oh, what's that? Another shitposter who thinks he knows anything about music? Pretending to be superior even if he couldn't name any music that's not mainstream.
>village
the stable in the nearest to the shieldsurfing area in the snow is comfy as fuck, if it counts.
If not, Rito Village. That WW remix was 10/10.
>character
Zelda probably. Shame about the VA, but the actual character was really good

>how can it be improved
Real, non-divine beast dungeons. I don't know what the rewards might be (perhaps full hearts containers would be enough, maybe weapons with unique traits like the ball and chain from tp), but I really missed the small key/map/compass dungeons of the previous games, particularly the 2d zeldas.
That said, the labyrinths and evermore island satiated that desire pretty well. I just would've liked more
>offering critique is being a meek follower
The music chooses to be atmospheric rather than strictly melodic and blunt. It's appreciable in a different light. Get some taste.
Horse day is alright but night song is where it's at.

Also this video lists some of the references.

That sounds like more of an appeal to popularity than anything. Plus, late 19th/early 20th century music is certainly not "universally" praised, nor was the contemporaneous response one of unanimous derision.
You can like atmospheric music, you can like melodic music, or you can like both (I happen to lean toward the melodic but make plenty of allowances). But just because the score models itself on atmospheric music doesn't vindicate it of its shortcomings, namely a general blandness and lack of inspiration.
I would cite Joe Hisaishi as an example of a composer with masterful command over both the melodic and the "impressionistic" as you call it. Leading up to release plenty of comparisons were made between BotW's score and Spirited Away's, but that seems to me like selling Spirited Away's a bit short.
Once again, don't take this as a complete dismissal of BotW's score. There are a few good things to take away from it. Most of the tracks are letdowns though.
>This is the mark of a good soundtrack
No, the mark of a good soundtrack is one that complements the gameplay. Nothing else matters. Your complaint still doesn't go beyond "This music is not in style X therefore it is bad". You can argue that minimalist impressionist music is a bad fit for the game, you can argue that it's poorly written minimalist impressionist music. What you can't do is argue that minimalist impressionist music is bad, period.
Fuck off, nobody worthwhile gives a shit and the 100,000,000,000th discussion isn't going to settle the placement any more than the first. Go suck off a shotgun.
Rewards could just be fun things like a snowboard or wet weather climbing.
The only thing I miss are the huge memorable boss fights.
there is no need for discussion, learn how to read
also, don't get mad at vidya and stop being a edgy kid

I didn't know the one in the arena can even level, all other spawns are silver by now but the one in the arena is still brown, what am I doing wrong

aww damn that sucks
How does one farm rupies ? I cant buy the heat resistant gear from the gorons so naturally its a fucking trainwreck
>No, the mark of a good soundtrack is one that complements the gameplay. Nothing else matters.
I'm actually more sympathetic to this view than you probably think. Hirokazu Tanaka happened to be a major proponent of that approach, and he's one of my favorites in the industry.
>Your complaint still doesn't go beyond "This music is not in style X therefore it is bad".
That's actually not my complaint. Read my post again.
>What you can't do is argue that minimalist impressionist music is bad, period.
I actually could argue that, but I'm not arguing that, I didn't argue that, and I wouldn't argue that.

Passed by me last night. Right at me at first but I saw fire balls coming for me so I got out of the way, they got me anyway but I wasn't damaged. Around him the air heats up and it creates a lift area so you can glide with him for a while.
So far favourtie village is the Gerudo one but my two favourite spots are music related. Great fairy lake behind Cocorico village and the tower in the desert where the Piaf plays accordion.

Sell ore, although they'll be required for armor upgrades late game. I'd save your monster parts for Fang and Bone.
In Rito Village, you can exchange Baked Apples for a huge net worth (100 for 1200 rupees, I forgot the exchange rate for 1, 30, and 50).
Lurelin Village to the southeast has a gambling minigame you can savescum.
Near Hebra Tower is Pondo's Lodge, which has a snowbowling minigame.
>Do you prefer this formula or the OOT one? Do you like the total freedom this game offers, or what linearity on some aspects?
I vastly prefer the OoT formula due to really enjoying unlocking portions of the land and items depending on what subweapons I got with enjoyable puzzle-filled dungeons and combat rooms. I also felt much more satisfaction in getting things like Heart Pieces or subweapons whereas in BotW it's really only that with the dungeon rewards since I can't really care about getting new weapons.
The BotW formula is also great, especially with how they give you freedom to solve things your own way, but if they're going to continue with it I'd just like them to shrink things down regarding the world since it felt like it was far too big at times and it just got tiring to wander around it after about 60ish hours, especially in regards to the snowy mountains that took ages to climb unless you had Revali's Gale. They would also have to make the dungeons better than the disappointment they were in BotW, you just sort of dicked around for five minutes and you got every chest with the camel being the only one out of the three I've done so far having you think about how to get around. They're honestly just bigger Shrines.
Farm the dragons for their horns, take a picture of a rare ore deposit (The yellowish ones) and point your sensor to it, or kill Talus'. You can also hunt animals in the mountainous regions and make meat skewers which sell for like 240-400.
Farming raw gourmet meat or snowball bowling.
which ore should I sell user?
i like how chinese music starts playing whenever you see a dragon
...
Enough to get by, but you can use your Sheikah Sensor to detect ore deposits and kill Stone Taluses for more ore drops. The requirements are for 4* gear, which is really late, and you'd be better off upgrading the Ancient set anyway.

>All Hetsu's Gift does is let you talk to him for one of the dances again.
This somehow feels more useless than it just not being usable.
i already found a whole shitload of shrines but i'm hardly finding any anymore. should i just use a map?
>tfw bad a parry and evasion
i like how all the NPCs have a different cringe when you swing a weapon at them. do you guys know if any NPC's attack you for threatening them?
Well maybe you shouldn't do things Aonuma and Miyamoto explicitly told you not to.
>a golden turd
what?
how many is a shitload

[autistic screeching]
not sure but ive got 9 hearts and 3 and a half stamina wheels including the first one. i've got 8 spirit orbs as well
It's the Mushroom Kingdom.
>3 and a half stamina wheels
???
Go to a loading screen like fast travel or saving then loading, the number under the Spirit Orbs is shrines. If you're not at like110+ you shouldn't look at a guide for them, it's relatively easy to spot you, you probably haven't been to certain areas yet.

that was nice giving him a cameo, made me happy
ive done about 60 shrines

Little disapointed you cannot even attempt a stealth entry into the town even if it is impossible to achieve a lazy he is on top of the wall boot him to the door is shit.
Keep finding them as you play. It started getting hard for me at about 106 and I opened a guide at 112

When I hit 3 stamina wheels the statues refused to upgrade me anymore. Wondering how you got another half a wheel via spirit orb.

thinking of the future, I think the nonlinear formula works the best for Zelda. It takes it back to its roots, and I like that it takes the player's sense of wonder and cognitive thinking to solve puzzles or figure stuff out about the world. OoT's formula wasn't bad, but it removes alot of the mystery behind the gameplay formula and the wonder, too.
I hope they try another game similar to this, but maybe with more traditional buildings like dungeons and towers.
Because you forced him to stop his incubation early to fight you so he looks kinda fucked up.
...
the only stealth in town is sneaking in to Riju's bedroom before she gives you access but there's no benefit to doing so
If you snuck into the city it'd be useless because you couldn't buy anything, interact with anyone or start any quests without being kicked out. At best you could do some eavesdropping
Do you think he would have been the voice actor for him, had he not commited suicide?

Feels really sad, man.
Where?
>Robin Williams was a big fan of Zelda 1

>He never got to play it
He probably means 3 stamina upgrades, or 2 upgrades away from a full 2 wheels. The max is 3 whole wheels, or 10 total upgrades.
Because they thicc
