Zelda Breath of the Wild - Wii U vs. Switch

[bmoc]

I did the Gerudo Divine Beast last night. The boss fight was super easy with the Master Sword and the Rubber armor. I did it in one attempt without looking up any strategies. I also finished upgrading the Ancient Armor and I've almost got all the Barbarian Armor to level 3. I think I may stop farming upgrade materials after that as the level 4 Barbarian upgrade materials sound annoying to get. All my other armors are level 2 or better and they are pretty situational.

I'll go hunting for the lost memories after that. In all my running around, I've only stumbled across one aside from the ones you get at the Divine Beasts. Then it will be on to the last Divine Beast and Hyrule Castle.

I think I have something like 20 leaf poops, maybe a few more now. I've been going more at it trying to hit the towers in all the areas so I can see the full map and have rudimentary points to fast travel to if I want to. Then I'll flesh out from there. I've stopped at shrines in general that I've come across too, which I still just hope aren't combat or crime-against-humanity gyro control ones.

Lightning boss was reverse since the gimmick part of the fight was ridiculously simple and it was more the speed that was hard to counter (other than by nomming all my food). He did kill me once :/

I'm just stumbling around in the desert. I plan on infiltrating a den of ninjas tonight. After that, I may go to take out my first divine beast. I may not. I may just go hunting for more memories, filling out my Hyrule compendium, or looking for more shrines in parts of the map that I have already explored.

Also, I bought a house, and it is fully furnished. I also completed a lot of busy work side quests around Kakariko Village, Hateno Village, and Gerudo Town(?). The game is still so much fun, and so much of the map is still empty. I really would like to spend a full day playing it, but...you know...responsibilities and all that.

4 beast down
90 shrines found
lots of koroks
Got to Ganon but went above him to find 3x koroks.
2 labyrinths down
Eventide island completed
Tarrey Town built

Currently exploring the world to get the other armors upgraded and finish off the Kass Quests but Silver Bokoblins are nightmares. They are like running into Lynels.

I did figure out a good lynel combo though. Get in close, stasis them, then charge up the Gerudo power on the fastest charging weapon you have. If you can hit them before stasis ends, it will cripple them. Works on Hinox aswell. Stasis mk2 makes combat far more interesting.

It rains too often.

It rains too often.

I agree. Hyrule gets something like 500 inches of rainfall each year, apparently.

Probably has a design rationale in forcing players to take different routes or actually fight things/etc, but yes, it's kind of annoying at times. Thunderstorms too, though the first time one of the Yiga guys with a gkatana spawned for me, a lightning strike literally took him out as soon as he did, simply leaving the sword on the ground. I didn't realize it was an enemy drop until the second one showed up (ironically, I'd already taken out their leader, but that doesn't stop 'em).

Just this minute completed the game and beat Ganon. I thought I had completed all the main quests (I got all the memories and the Master Sword), but I'm not sure if I got the 'true' ending or not *shrug*. But regardless, wow, what a game!

Over 100 hours put into this and I didn't even notice.

Edit: Ah, it comes after the credits. Never mind, I did get the true ending after all

[Tanooki]

Yeah that Yiga problem never goes away. I recall after I kicked his ass another tried to jump me a few days later into playing and they even mouthed off wanting revenge so word gets around.

I should fire it up again, just no time today though. I've taken some time off so I don't get burned out on the game as I still want to at the bare minimum goof around on more of the map and find those few missing memories I somehow didn't walk across.

Also I'd like to find and figure out those 3 shrines based on the pieces of the triforce as I found one, but it wouldn't help me, pretty much said go away.

Rain? Make a fire and pass time.
