For Breath of the Wild 2, what are some more classic Zelda style items that they can add in to have as actual dungeon rewards without breaking the whole 'open world' idea?
I was thinking something like the Gust Bellows, Lens of Truth, or hookshot, all of which could be used to make really neat puzzles but ones that are still totally solvable if you don't have the actual required item.

Why does Lon Lon Ranch exist so far in the future?
Isaac Ramirez
I WANT TO FICK FU
Xavier Clark
Lon Lon Ranch always exists in Downfall, user. Especially in places that it shouldn't.

>Masks of the Wild never >you will never roll around at the speed of sound as a goron >or play superman 64 2 as a rito Let's write letters to nintendo I'm sure they'll listen
Connor Morris
Bombchus.

What do you prioritize when you get 4 Spirit Orbs? Hearts or Stamina? I find myself increasing stamina more.
Elijah Kelly
Because it's a reference for nostalgia, stop thinking about the timeline, Nintendo clearly doesn't.
Sebastian Myers
Malon's song transcends time and space...and alternate realities.
Ryan Anderson
Hearts until I get the sword->Stamina
James Kelly
Superman 64 had functional controls while flying unlike that fucking bird in SS
Jaxon Thompson
DEEPEST
Justin Wright
You genuinely don't need more than 2 bars of stamina imo...tho I suppose the same could be said for hearts at a point
Luis Wright
LORE
Elijah Butler
You don't need more than 2 bars of stamina but it's faster, whereas once you get good armor and good at dodging hearts stop being a really meaningful upgrade in any way.
Joseph Scott
I was getting stamina until I realized you need those hearts for the master. Once I got them I went full stamina again.
Colton Morris
Just have them available at the outset like the runes in botw.
Jason Murphy
either can be replaced with food, though I feel there's more hearty items out there than endura
Liam Robinson
Hearts for sure, don't be afraid to grab some stamina because a 2nd stamina bar works wonders for climbing and gliding
Evan Taylor
Best Dorf design Prove me wrong
Camden Cruz
Definitely.
Asher Lee
>with real bulge action in melee
Jordan Parker
Having everything available from the outset kinda kills progression and makes dungeons much less fun. That's the reason people like dungeons in Zelda, getting items and improving and seeing the things you can do open up. Having everything available from the start is nice because you're always able to go anywhere and do anything, but on the other hand I was kinda disappointed that there was really nothing 'new' for me to learn once I got off the plateau beyond how to manipulate what I already had better. I'm not suggesting make shrines that require you to have items, I'm asking for ideas that could provide you with alternate solutions to problems. Like being able to get around using the hookshot with use of climbing, jumping, and updrafts, or getting around using bombchus by using bombs+stasis, or cheesing lens of truth puzzles through environmental hints/dropping items/good old fashioned trial and error, but having them opens up a whole new world of options.

What did Link do all day with Paya?

w-why? What does he want with it?

I fucking wish, but I accidentally talked to Bolson and he headed back to Hateno and I didn't feel like loading.
Ayden Stewart
>Went through all divine beasts except the gerudo one Leaders kept teasing about the master sword in the lost woods >Have legit no idea where it is and the map was far from being completed
Somehow it was the last place I went so there was a lot of buildup for me and oh boy did It not disappoint. I didn't mind the framerate because I believe they wanted the visuals to be perfect but the second I entered the lost woods I had nonstop goosebumps.The whole sequence was magical. I didn't have enough hearts at the time so it motivated me even more to get the master sword.
I honestly don't think they'll top something like this ever again.
Camden Long
I mean, dungeons can still give magic. Hopefully handled better (more like oot than botw), but that's what it does in botw and it works great. None of the spells actually offer means to complete puzzles that puzzles could or would be based on (except revali's gale, which is disabled in shrines anyway), theyre just good shit to have.
Bentley Kelly
>not dual katana's.
Dylan Sanchez
Quest objective.
Juan Murphy
>Synced swing Thank god for fire arrows
Blake Brown
Shame the actual sword is pretty mediocre. Still, you're right, they nailed the aesthetic. It's visually exactly what the master sword scene in alttp evoked in my imagination when I was a kid, but with way more buildup.
Gabriel Scott
I honestly kind of missed them while they were gone. I thought I hated them. But hey, they keep the fire going for me. Might be the only friends I've got in this big world.
Caleb Hill
Paya, in an act of boldness, told Link that if he could find her birth mark she would give him 2 whole hearts. To this day they have never seen Link tackle a challenge so enthusiastically or repeatedly.
Leo Taylor
Hey fi isn't all bad. Great free weapon when I don't want to use my good stuff or I'm hanging out in hyrule castle
Brody Perez
>can't go back into the Divine Beast to talk to your dead friends dumb fucking game I'm mad
Justin Scott
> 60 dmg blue glowing invulnerable ganon touched killing Master Sword folded a gorillion times
You what mate? It's the most satisfying weapon to cut off guardian legs with.
Colton Thomas
I don't understand this part of the game either. Why exactly can't he go back inside?
Jason Diaz
You take that back, the master sword is the best hammer/axe in the game.
Camden Gray
Do you farm arrows? This is after like 8 minutes in a field with three bokoblins on horses shooting at me and missing. I'm set for a while
Ayden Wilson
I WANT TO FUCK FI
Christian Thompson
It's only invulnerable against Ganon himself Even when powered up it can break against Guardians or inside the castle
Levi Russell
I imagine it's because the malice plays a big role in the dungeons and they were too lazy to make malice-free versions of the dungeons to explore.
Benjamin Ward
Never needed to. Once you're about to run out the shops restock.
Anthony Lee
If it breaks can you get it again or is it gone forever? I probably shouldn't spoil myself and just play the game but I gotta know this
Wyatt Bailey
Because it's taking aim at Ganon and it's dangerous to get any closer
Jackson Green
it recharges, nothing spoiled.
Cameron Powell
It repairs itself in your inventory
Samuel Brooks
I know that the story told you so, but that's a pretty shitty reason, honestly.
Eli Parker
Oh thank god
Ryan Carter
How long does it take to deplete when it's glowing? I've killed heaps of Guardians before leaving the area so I didn't sit there forever to find out. Any ideas?
Levi Baker
Because they are dead and gone.
Nathan Morris
I don't think the game stops you from paragliding into the laser either.
Eli Clark
Don't forget about the Tetraforce: ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲
Kayden Jones
The path to zora domain gives you a ton of regular arrows. hyrule castle is a good place to stock up on multiple varieties. Shock arrows are obvious.
Brayden Brooks
Sure, that's why they don't hold their speech once you attack Ganon, right?
Charles Cook
What area has the best horses?
Andrew Wright
I'm more surprised you have no elemental arrows. Farming lynels I got up to 200 electric ones.
Speaking of, I need the horns of the 3 dragons for the barbarian armor upgrade, how do I get them?
Eli Campbell
Sheikah loli is best loli
Logan Cox
Shoot the dragons in the horns.
Jace Anderson
I'm still pretty early in this game compared to most of the general it seems. I feel like I'm pretty far in but I'm soooo far behind.
Jaxson Mitchell
I went super-north looking for diamonds and saw a big red dragon (iirc it was a Dinryuu) floating around a huge whale skelly, should I try to kill it?
Thomas Miller
I hate going dragon-chasing.
Carter Morales
I've made no real progress either actually. Haven't even touch the 4 main areas yet
Logan Lopez
Hyrule Castle hast chests with horns, scales, claws, etc. But only one each.
Caleb Hughes
Probably the worst thing in this game. I hate these dragons so fucking much
Jonathan Evans
yes but you can't succeed it drops some cool stuff if you hit it with a single arrow
Jack Robinson
>kill it? this isn't Skyrim
Ryan Richardson
This ain't skyrim, brother
Nicholas Wright
It's really not that hard.
Thomas Harris
It registered as a monster so I assumed that's what I'd want to do. Thanks, I'll head back up there, I only have like eight hearts, two stamina expancs, and kinda garbage armor and equip, the Lyonel on top the Zora mountain took me three tries to kill.
Noah Torres
Where the hell do I find Energetic Rhino Beetles? I was seeing them everywhere before, but now that I actually need them they've vanished from the world.
Colton Perry
Are any of you considering speedrunning BotW, whether it's All Dungeons, Any%, or some other category? I kinda want to do All Dungeons.
Ian Smith
the longest run is going to be All Memories, probably any% looks kind of boring, there aren't enough glitches to make it interesting yet
Bentley Jenkins
lurelin beach area. use the sensor, and they reset if you sleep in the inn
Christopher Davis
100% or bust
Colton Cox
J-just gotta find two more giant ancient cores
Zachary Flores
Spike had an idea for a "complete" run where you get true end requirements plus the master sword. It's arbitrary, like ocarina of time MST, but the routing would end up very tight eventually if it took off. MST was very popular.
Right now, it's far more interesting as a casual game. Any% already kind of sucks.
Jack Reyes
>HW dorf in WW dorf outfit This is clearly the only correct answer for best dorf
Christian Brown
>Finally got a 5x Lynel Bow and enough bomb arrows
I'm about to make Dresden look like a fucking joke
Connor Anderson
Never, I understand why a speed run would be appealing but I feel like this game begs to be taken slowly & soaked up for me.
Thomas Myers
My favorite part of any% is when the horse decides to stop giving a fuck and just bodies a Guardian.
Lincoln Bell
that's just all memories, isn't it?
Chase Richardson
I'm sorry, who
Colton Baker
>only finding it Is Paya an exhibitionist?
Evan Myers
I learned today that you can dye the Wild set. I was about to throw the towel in when I realized it was a different shade of green than what the dye shop offers.
Now if only I could find a horse that wasn't 4/3/4. Seriously, what is up with that spread.
Jace Baker
And enough shrines to get 13 hearts
Jackson King
>American education
Gavin Brooks
Shit, I guess you're right. I forgot about the memories triggered by MS and the divine beasts. Nice compact name, too.
