Koga is a chump

with a big pot belly

hey don't make fun of my husbando

gimme your bananas you piece of shit

mind powers when

>no upgrade for magnesis that automatically picks up monster drops when you have it as your active rune
>no upgrade for cryosis that has it also act as the sand sceptre from ALBW
How can this game be so great but have so much room for improvement?

When I need to eat raw ingredients to regain health I just nosh on bananas because I have so many of them

It was kinda silly for the Yiga leader to be such a dimwit when his followers are actually intimidating, but I suppose it really fits in with Zelda's humor to pull something like that.

I want megnetic gloves like powers from oracle of seasons

I'm not sorry

just finished the game
its so bittersweet
this last few weeks was the most i've enjoyed myself in years and it's all coming to a close

What about a new Koga dungeon and boss fight for dlc?
He climbs out of that abyss hole and he's fucking swole demon ninja master as FUCK and comes for revenge

Anyone else finishing the main quest today before Persona 5 comes out?

I'm so almost emotional about it, I never want it to be over. This is the best game I've played in a decade.

>Hard mode Kohga is fought alongside the hideout Blademasters

He could use rune like abilities at will with no slate or tear drop terminal. I think he's a far greater user and researcher of ancient technologies than Purrah and unlike Robbie he uses his creations/findings himself

>Bokoblin looking smug as hell after being revived by Blood moon

cute

Why would you ever need to eat raw ingredients when it's so easy to cook?

Why are there no Yiga disguised as Gerudo. I think they only mimic Hylians

It's mostly about how he's portrayed and how anticlimactic your encounter with him is. Which is clearly intentional, but I wouldn't mind a few moments in the game where shit gets real instead of actively avoiding any tense atmosphere.

Why are there only two typed of Yiga? Why do the girls turn into long noodle boys

No reason at all. I just like seeing Link chomping down on banana after banana

How about a boss fight against Kohga's successor?

>she wants to defeat link so he gives up on zelda
cute

All the Yiga are ex-shiekah. They couldn't pass as Gerudo.

>Paya going full Cia mode

fund it

but they don't mimic Sheikah either

why not just go after zelda?

Best.

Sheikah are an order of Hylians and while there was at one point a Sheikah "race", you don't have to have white hair and red eyes to be one.

Have you gotten all the memories yet? Any that were particularly hard to find? I'm in the right area for one but I can't find the exact spot.

i had a thing with a girl and it was going well. this game is the only thing that's kept me going after everything went to shit and things are starting to get better, but i just found my last korok seed on thursday. i'm upgrading all the armors and finding all the chests and that's it for me. feel empty desu

Nose not pointy enough

>Sheikah are an order of Hylians
No.

what did the update add?

Most of them can be roughly triangulated by using the position of Hyrule Castle/Divine Beasts/other landmarks.

Only one I had trouble with was the horse one because I flew in an opposite direction from that area from the plateau, and didn't end up discovering it until way later.

A more pleasant gaming experience.

Finding the right spot can be obnoxiously precise. If you think you're in the right area, then you probably are.

That makes no sense

strawpoll.me/12639661/r

Seems the newer voters aren't big on the Gerudo

Who the fuck cares just stop already.

Because Link would kill her

NEVER

I'd give Purah my Ancient Shaft if you know what I mean.

>strawpoll.me/12639661/r
I'd give her some ancient screws myself

For some reason this made me want a spinoff where Ganondorf is Link's mentor and their goal is to defeat Zelda, the corrupt Queen of Hyrule, and seal her in the Sacred Realm.

>every korok seed
you're a stronger man than most user

i wanted to save the ones in hyrule castle for last, but my last one turned out to be a leaf goatee on the horse at the lakeside stable that i missed at least ten times

>tfw saved The Stolen Heirloom for my last shrine
It just seemed so fitting to have the thing the shiekah have been guarding for generations be used for the final one.

Did you do it without a guide?

My last one was a Major Test of Stength

Will they introduce 3 more heart containers or 12 shrines in the DLC to quell my autism?

Just finished the game.

The first fight against Ganon was pretty cool, the second part pretty boring... I mean, is it even possible for him to hit you ? Ganon design was pretty good, but overall it didn't reach the whole feeling of impending doom you got in Oot. Maybe because of the music.

The game is pretty brillant, and adds a lot of elements to the open world genre, that I hope other producers will use.

On the other hand, I wouldn't have given it a 10/10. with the ressources they clearly had, they could have made better in my humble opinion. Shrines were a nice thing, but 120 ? Too much, and too grindy.

I also can't help but feel that the dungeons were way too short and easy, and pretty forgettable. I guess there could have been a better balance between dungeons and shrines. Bosses were also pretty bland.

Story wise... the idea of amnesia was a good one, but I feel it's sort of hard to care for all those characters who are obviously dead. The only character that will give you any sort of emotion is Zelda, and I guess only if you go through all the memories.

Anyway, really good adventure. I hope they can make another one for the Switch in the near future. Working on all those elements and making a more polished gem.

I'd really like a quick equip option, like you have with the weapons.
Being able to set equipment sets and change quickly would be a great improvemen.

No, I fell off my horse and was stood in the middle of his breath when it went off - the only thing he damaged was the framerate.

You start with 1 extra heart on a hard mode file, you get 1 for completing the cave of trials, and then finally one from the winter dlc dungeon ;^)

>1 heart from Dungeon - you can change one of your hearts to stamina in case you went for full hearts
>Possibly a heart from the Cave of Trials - same as above in case you went all hearts
>4 Shrines in new DLC story - use them for stamina or a heart

3 heart or sections of stamina. Everything nice and uniform

Pretty much how I feel about the game too.

Agreed on most every point.

Final boss was completely anticlimactic. First phase should have had more mechanics and involved breaking the mechanical parts to lower his shield.

Light arrows should have been an intermediate phase to weaken Calamity Ganon, and then you have to climb on him and fight shit on his back before stabbing the Master Sword into his head to seal him.

Both climbing and limb breaking were underutilized throuhout the game and Ganon's designs were perfect for them. Would've felt so climactic to crawl around on beast Ganon's back before delivering the final blow to his weak point like in TP.

My biggest issue with shrines is that so many are just Blessings. Like half of them. Should've been more puzzle shrines. Also shrines should've had different themes depending on the region to blend in and have variety. Big trees for forests, sandstone for deserts, igloo-ish things for cold places, etc.

...

>My biggest issue with shrines is that so many are just Blessings.
and another good 25% are tests of strength, which unless you find them very VERY early in the game, are absolutely piss easy.

I really hope this new map feature is a rupee stamp.

Once you've picked up Rupes their chests don't respawn so why would you need to stamp them

for marking good farming spots and games

they'll introduce Tingle and he'll give you the rune for the Korok radar

I don't get the deal with the plateau, why does it have a huge wall around it?
Also would you say that the plateau is the largest structure in the game or the Forgotten Temple?

...

Plateau was originally the Sheikah activation point, but because of its topography it looks like the Hyrule authority made it into a military fortress at some point.

There's a front gate but it's blocked by rubble and the entrance ramp is flooded. Would've made for an absolutely unsiegable fort in its prime.

The dlc dungeon is hidden inside the plateau.

Someone did the stats on reddit, 58.3% of Shrines are puzzles, 24.2% are blessings, and 17.5% are Combat (38.1% Major, 28.6% Modest and 28.6% Minor, and 1 teaching)

>entrance ramp

where?

...

Northern side, I believe. It looks like a pond on the map because the inner ramp is flooded.

I want diving in the next game

Aha I see it, next to Gatepost Town

does link ever talk in the game? One word? Like in a cut scene? or something? No details are necessary, I just want to know yes or no.

probably no, but it would be cool to at least give him a few lines in some important moment.

Great Plateau is the Sealed Grounds from Skyward Sword

The Temple of Time was built over the Sealed Temple and the Goddess Statue inside is the one that dropped from Skyloft.

Yes, he says HUT HUT HYAH when you press the attack button.

yes but not with any voice acting

No. The reason he doesn't is because he isn't really able to express how he really feels because how people always expect so much from him

oh okay, that's what I figured.

I thought the original statue is the one in Forgotten Temple?

...

Hyrule Historia said the Temple of Time was built over the Sealed Temple, so it would make more sense for that statue to be the one. Unless it was stated otherwise?

I just want more stamps and a filter option

Don't forget about the Tetraforce:
▲ ▲
▲ ▲

>Kite shield
>Great Falcon Bow
>Demon carver
>Stealth mask
>Champion tunic
>Climbing pants
I am the most physics

this game has so beautiful moments

I WANT TO FUCK FI

uhh... help

anatomy

Insert Rod A into Slot B

Force the middle square out of the group on the right and put it on top, kinda crooked.

that's not gonna happen. Nintendo's thing is giving us things we didn't know we wanted and more attention to detail than any person could ever expect. That being said giving us such quality of life improvements is something they rarely if ever do

I've been looking at it for 2 weeks now, still don't know what to do

Sorry m8

is the ancient guardian key a one time use?

i wish the successors had had more of an impact ti the story

youtube.com/watch?v=kdtoTKed5Cc&ftag=GSS-05-10aaa0b

I kinda wish Teba wasnt just a white copy of Ravioli. We also could've had a female Rito to make it 2/2 again.

yeah you need a new one for every Guardian, but they stay pilotable even if you leave them as long as it doesnt die.
