I had ruined the game by playing it the way I had. I can break down what I think the goals of this system were into six main points: In my mind, only one of these succeeds. Having a guardian like this show up in the middle of a camp, or maybe even fighting two at the same time, would have been fantastic. I thought that was kind of weird. First off, the easiest examples to get rid of are the combat shrines. The two main mechanics that facilitate exploration are the climbing and the glider. If you mess up the parry then youre going to get smacked. Maybe there could even be a new Sheikah Slate app thats introduced in these Mega Shrines that adds a new twist to the existing mechanics, so that theres even more possibilities for the developers to get creative. I also wish that there was a quicker way to turn spells on or off. Another one that delivers on the promise of timing bomb explosionsfirst with a simple introduction of an automatic thrusting pillar, then one you have to control, and then a final room that needs two bombs set up in a slightly clever way to solve it. You can use it to inspect your surroundings and mark things in the distance, which will then also be visible on your map. Often these mean the shrine is inaccessible until you do a task. Breath of the Wild has continued the tradition with clever writing in an overall amazing game. While the silver bokoblin is doing 15 hearts. Seriously, well done. I purposefully went to the side of the weapon and, long after the attack started, dodged. So lets rewind back to the Great Plateau, after we raise the tower and are given our first quest to reach those shrines. And it is. An empty shrine. Hilariously enough though, the final fight with Ganon is one of them but Okay I feel like Im picking on the game here but this is too stupid not to mention. Same with being smart about using your weapons efficiently. On the Great Plateau, these were ranged from starting sticks, bokoblin clubs and spears, to some low level swords, hammers, and axes. The genius there is that to access the rest of that health, you have to play well enough to time a heal in the middle of a fight, and also recognize that you SHOULD heal instead of attacking, but also not to heal too early so you dont waste a lot of it. Something as simple as having the game unpaused after selecting food, and having a second or two of downtime while Link eats it, would have solved half this problem just like that. Now I had a choice: leave so I can become better prepared, or push on to find a shrine or the regions tower so that I would have a fast travel point to come back next time without having to do the long climb again. This isnt a fight. What I am certain of however, is how right I am to be disappointed in the shrines. In contrast to these, you have some good shrines that feel like they got 10 times the attention, which is why Im only half-joking about my Bring Your Kid to Work Day explanation. Lets kill Ganon. And it stays strong as you ride forward, pick up the special bow of light, and then. Fighting all of the bosses in a row ended up being one of the most enjoyable parts of the game for me. But on the other side, you have another game. First up is the Sheikah Slate, that I immediately saw as a pack of Hearthstone cards and could never unsee it for the rest of the game. The Gorons are continuing to expand their mining industry. With your eyes or your ears. And still 3 and a half with 84 armor. Having weapons break during combat, with a big explosion that knocks the enemy away and sends their weapon flying, is a lot of fun in the early game. In fact I was mighty disappointed that the Master Sword could break at all and, in the case of enemy camps, often broke before I could kill multiple enemies. 36 armor is negating 36 weapon damage. Whats the word Im looking for here? And thats the first two major problems on this list that I couldnt find a way to bring up until now: My hope is that by now you should be getting a decent idea on why I labeled the combat as fragile. Or this shrine that was similar to the inside of a giant clock. Without exception. A new enemy encounter was so refreshing and hit home how sorely the game needed more things like this. Just like the overlapping level design and challenge in navigating those dungeons was what made me fall in love with the series to begin with. I did all 120 for the video and just that content alone took me about 20 hours. There were so many possibilities for the game building on what it had just done. Which I think, after how long this section went on, deserves its own. Guardian enemies in the combat shrines could have weapons break off after you deal damage to them, or they could snap off when they collide with pillars in the arena. But I would have rather had dungeons and more Zelda-content instead. And the game really does have those flawsnot just nitpicks, although I have plenty of those toobut huge, critical problems that I do not understand how so many reviewers managed to ignore. I got here so soon that I was still armed with my crappy Plateau weapons. Instead it loses its energy and has to recharge for 10 minutes before you can use it again. Constantly adding inflections like these to characters' dialogue not only looks cluttered on the page, it's also guaranteed to annoy the actors. I didnt do any of the main quests. The lizards are far more agile but this brings its own problem: they dart away from your attacks so much, or if you try to close the distance between them, thats it often a better strategy to just wait for them to come to you and then counterattack. Ganons weapon is also on fire by the way so I feel thats a fair comparison. I dont think I need to spend anymore time on this because the low number speaks for itself. "Hero of Hyrule. It just isnt. The interior has to match the exterior in some way. The most standard of these were encountering other travelers on the road. These arent terribly interesting on their ownin fact theyre more like a puzzle involving bombs and pretending the sand is lava than a proper fight. It means that whatever damage number the enemy has is reduced by 50. Why is this a Zelda game when theres hardly any of the typical Zelda-content? And then there are the 4 at the other end which I am going to label as terrible, because they use the frustrating motion controls. For a bunch of other issues, you have the first boss in the series being capable of spawning tornadoes immediately on top of you without any warning or time to react after his first phase change. These are the three youll be seeing over and over unless you purposefully go to the desert. Now you have to run away from enemies and position yourself to heal instead of somehow being able to eat 20 apples and an entire turkey while reeling on the floor. I looked forward to it the whole gamestumbling upon the entrance of some place and having a whole different kind of experience in a dungeon, with a new tool, and an awesome boss. Theres a quest in the Rito region that requires you to find a bunch of bird children so theyll practice some song at a nearby nest. In Skyrim or Fallout 4, places you find that you can enter through a load screen are an actual place. And a lot of you may have just thought Youre crazy, of COURSE it does, but give me a minute here to explain. You get your first set of four spirit orbs by doing these, which you can use to buy an upgrade in the nearby temple of time at the end. This argument makes a bad assumption in that if weapon durability was removed, that it would be the only changethat you would still be finding all of these weapons everywhere and you just keep replacing old ones with better ones. Chosen by The Sword That Seals the Darkness. Click to tweet post. It's a huge world! And then a few minutes later I would be thinking the opposite: how could combat be this bad? This shrine has a fair amount to do with using stasis to launch objects, but this is the same puzzle the tutorial used to TEACH you this mechanic.

The German dialogue is apparently: "Ob der Held die Meere berquert oder eine Verbindung mit der . Same thing. Game. Im talking about the behemoth version that you fight in Hyrule Field afterward. The next boss in this series seems to abide by these rules with his overhead slam. What do you think should be the core idea behind something like that? This puppy is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of the movie to get the dialogue. I also understand that they couldnt have made the bosses scale to whatever weapons you were carrying at the time eitherbecause otherwise whats the point of progression systems at all if the game is constantly going to be scaling the difficulty to about even? Breath of the Wild has been released in the following languages: Japanese, English, Dutch, Canadian French, European French, German, Italian, Russian, Latin American Spanish, European Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Korean. If you had permanent weapons from the start, then these other weapons you find could be unlocked as skins you could use to alter the appearance of your starting ones, so that each player could choose what they want to look like. It was a great video. Some of you watching might reject this idea because it means everyone gets shrines in the same order. Imagine if putting a bomb in the slot would work just as well because its the same shape. GINGER SHE-CAT, BLACK TOM, BLACK SHE-CAT and GRAY TOM join in. Then you have to guide a Goron through something sort of like a stealth section in order to board the divine beast. When you have so few weapons and theyre all breaking regularly, when switching between them is a really quick decision, or you scramble to steal another weapon that was just flung onto the floor. I dont understand how places where the game regularly starts to stumble couldnt have been identified and made better. You may already have guessed which one that is. Direct assaults were what I settled on though. And this is where you upgrade your equipment slots and return to try to pull out the Master Sword when you get a new heart container. Refresh the page, check Medium 's site status, or find something interesting to read. Same goes for other weapons. This ties into the first point on the list: this system doesnt really encourage use of a lot of weapon types. Looking for Popular Stories of Ancient Egypt (Classic Folk and Fairy Tales)?

If youre too far hell do the horizontal lance swipe. Upload your PDF on PubHTML5 and create a flip PDF like Popular Stories of Ancient Egypt . Same for Ganon himselfI wish it had been a proper fight my first time. In particular, the way that towers fill in a map but dont actually tell you where the shrines or anything are is great. Fortunately, there isnt really much of a story to spoil anyway. And even those are really rare. All of them. Maybe weapons are corrupted by Ganons influence in some way and the Master Sword allows to you protect some of them through Broccoli Mans magic. Upgrading armor breaks the game. When you get to Hyrule Castle, thats the first time this version of Link and Ganon have met. I can strafe and already be out of harms way before I dodge and still trigger a flurry rush. Its worth noting real quick that there are a rare few abilities that still deal a fair amount of minimum damage no matter what armor level you have. But when I finally went to finish the dungeon content that all changed. He doesnt try to target it. Purify the divine beasts. Instead it lowers the damage down to just 1 quarter of a heart. The game actually encourages exploration, rather than following a GPS religiously and going down a checklist. If 20 shrines are about the same size of a dungeon when combined, then that could be the equivalent of about 6 dungeons that were chopped up into bite-sized chunks and spread throughout the world. Its not that they would be difficult. Eventually I saw my first silver moblin and then even a silver lynel because even they have tougher versions too. Why is there only one version of this cinematic? It just automatically plays this introduction sequence and gives you control of Link.

The translation sections for Breath of the Wild are as follows: Characters Enemies Items Locations Miscellaneous Translations of The Legend of Zelda series Breath of the Wild Its repeating that again. Theyre very well put together, but theyre also tiny. It changes from a big exciting turning point in a battle, to something that makes you pause and interrupt yourself as you decide what to use next, like a man who cant choose what brand of shitty cereal he wants to get at the grocery store and spends twenty minutes staring at all of the colorful boxes until they lose all meaning. And it's not some brainless alternative to walking either, you have to judge the height of things and compare it to your available stamina.
