The wait is nearly over. The game is being detailed left and right by the media,… the amiibo have been announced,… and the Nintendo Switch is imminent… The Legend of Zelda series has been a special one for Nintendo fans since it began and the next chapter starts on March 3rd, 2017.
A hero's tale begins anew. Open your eyes and see what is true.
Fun Facts: Vast open world where you could go find the end of the game within 15 minutes… but you won't survive it. Weapons have stats and durability. Climb pretty much anything you want. Eat and cook to regain health. Full voice-acting for all except Link
Lets use this thread to discuss the game on the Nintendo Switch. To help hold the tide of the wait, here are some beautiful screenshots and links for your perusal.
Just made it to the Gerudo Desert. They won’t let Link in because he is a man…and men have been cancelled in this town. (lulz) This must be the part of the game where Link has to cross-dress to get in? Or at least that’s what the memes suggest that I’ve seen over the years. (Huh. Between this and Triforce Heroes, Nintendo seems pretty keen on putting Link in female clothing “lately.” What’s the story there, I wonder? Is it a Japanese culture thing? I recall Cloud having to dress up in a similar way during Final Fantasy VII…)
I was fighting a Frost Talus and was winning the fight (for the most part). Then it tripped (or something) and fell...right on top of Link. Killing me instantly.
You also hadn't to consider the air vaccume pulling the air out of your lungs during the plummet. You'd probably be dead before you hit the ground. Idk. How tall 500 feet?
EDIT: okay, I guess a 50-story building prabably isn't high enough for the vacuum effect.
...are you doing that thing I did the lynel bow; doing the slow-mo arrow thing and taking them out before they can raise the alarm?
Honestly, I found that one of the more invigorating parts of the game. That, island of fun at the bottom-right most area of the map, and that light-less area next to Death Mount.
I just need to "knuckle down" and focus when I attempt it next. Every time I boot up the game, I'm kind of just aimlessly wandering around and completing missions and the occasional Divine Beast as I stumble across them. But the Yiga hideout is actually going to make me pay attention, so I need to be in the right mindset for it.
I did stumble across the lightless area you mentioned, I think. I avoided that as well since...I couldn't brain at that time, lulz.

Me in every single game ever invented. Even in ones that tell you what you have to do next.
I beat Thunderblight Ganon today. Not too difficult, but very thankful for the Fury Rush ability. The new ability you get seems like it will be pretty cool to use.
Sooo...I guess I'm cleared to go to the End Game. But I'm hesitant to do so without the Master Sword in hand. Maybe I'll scope out some more Shrines and do some side quests and then go get it.
Also, damn how many sit-ups do you think Urbosa does a day to get those abs?!?
I love how you get onto the Camel divine beast thing. The games like "yah only the chosen champs can enter this thing" and then you come along with a sand walrus, rope, explosives, and a magic helmet and bam, you're in.
Did you get through the lost woods? From there you only need [spoiler alert] 15 hearts to get the sword.
I mean, when your a ghost stuck in a massive metalic camel for 100 years what else do you have to do? Write the consolation of philosophy?
I actually didn’t go to Ganon until doing every shrine. It’s probably why I haven’t finished the game again, because my initial playthrough was 100-120 hours.
Well, that and Master Mode is very difficult. I just got the Master Sword in it though, and if it’s like the standard difficulty, the rest of the game should be a cakewalk after that.
