I wouldn't call that a "secret" exactly...

I did exploit the shit out of the inexpensive attakuna (however you spell that) bun for 10 rupees, to effortlessly get to the island maze via the paraglider though.  Watch out for the beamos guardians. SO MANY.  :O  The bun gives you a whole additional stamina wheel, and is only 10 rupees.

Oh-- Kinda exploity-- The red lynel at zora's domain?  Shoot it ONCE with one of the anti-mech arrows. One shot kill.

There actually are some unbreakable items in the game, apparently. At least one shield, a way to turn one (maybe more) of the beast quest ones that way, the master sword loitering around somewhere. Are the ones I've seen identified, so far. Won't say more than that, and that much only 'cause you're basically straight up told about the beast ones if you're paying attention, but they're out there.

Though yeah, don't think you strictly need one of the special-ish elemental weapons for some of the atmospheric effects. Just something on fire (torch, wooden weapon, whatever) does a bit, too.

I found the mastersword. It is is exactly where it should be. Chillin in the lost woods.

Pulling it out? Better invest in heart containers.

[Nighthawk]

Bro, that's the kind of thing you should throw beneath a spoiler. Please. For the sake of those who want to discover things for themselves.

Has anyone won the game yet(and I mean anyone, not just the people on this thread.)?

[Frumple]

Haven't actually watched anyone do it, but there's been a fair number of folks saying the game can be beat in like less than two or three hours if you're gunning hard for it. Handful of speedrunner type folks have apparently done it. Be somewhat surprised if there's not a vid or two online somewhere or another.

Sweet bloody hell you can ride bears. Breath of the Wild has introduced bear cavalry to the Legend of Zelda franchise. This thing may actually be the best zelda game there is.

[SOLDIER First]

but can you stable them

[pikachu17]

I just looked at Metacritic user scores for this, and I just had to wonder, Why the hell are there so many 0-score reviews? I think that 0-scores should be for games that are not the slightest fun, full of bugs, or make you hate the human race for making such crap. While it may not be perfect, I personally don't think that BotW fills any of these requirements.

It seems to be an attack on Nintendo, or at least on the Legend of Zelda. I'm not sure what in particular they're upset about, if they're even all upset about the same thing, but the idea seems to be to ruin the metascore of the game to discourage buyers.

Mostly trolls, then. Or did you mean that some opposing video-game company is trying to put its score down?

[TheBronzePickle]

I severely doubt most competing companies would be stupid enough to do something like that. There's not enough benefit to counter the fact that it could, probably fairly easily, end up getting traced back to them and cause them far more damage.

This is almost definitely just a bunch of trolls.

[Draignean]

So, this is what I've gathered so far...

1. Breath of the Wild is now the best rated game of all time on Metacritic. This was later proven by a letter from the future warning us that we might get invaded by alternate realities who desire to steal the pinnacle of gaming.

2. The Nintendo Switch apparently cures cancer in kittens at a range of 30 meters when turned on.

3. People are experiencing the rapture and visions of Paradise during loading screens.

4. Shinzo Abe will step down and a Hologram of Link will run for Joint President of America and Prime Minister of Japan in 2020.

5. Firefly Seasons 2-10 are included as bonus content on the cartridge if you beat Gannon while wearing Mal's suspenders.

As someone who's last Zelda game (dearly beloved) was Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask, and whose last console was an N64, is it worth the 180 to buy a switch and a game cartridge?

[Frumple]

It's probably not worth the switch on its own, no. Like, from watching, while it's a rather different game from the N64 ones it's at least as good as them. But is it worth the cost of a switch? Eeehhh. The thing ain't cheap, and there's not many console games I'd price as worth multiple hundred USD. And by not many I mean none. Zero. If there's something else announced for the system you'd be interested in, that's a different story, but for BotW alone... I'd say no. At least wait a year or two or whatev' for prices to drop a bit.

Could consider going for a wii u version, though. Cursory checking suggests it might be somewhat less functional performance wise, but you'd probably be able to get it a fair bit cheaper and there's at least something more of an established library, there.

[Greiger]

Posting to watch this thread but since I haven't gotten my switch yet I cannot read any of it yet for fear of the spoilz.

Things I currently think:

• I guess it takes place around ocarina of time's time?  I recall seeing Goron and OOT style Zora anyway.
• It's basically LoZ Skyrim.
• It has equipment durability.

Most of that is probably wrong.  But I guess I'll see.
