You know you're obsessed with BOTW when… well, this:

I have it on the WiiU, it is awesome! How far have any of you gotten?

I have it on Wii U, too. I've only just recently got off the Great Plateau.

A couple of sessions ago, I located the “A Modest Test of Strength” trial. It's on a precipice, outside of the first village, the one where Lady Impa is.

The trial boils down to facing a beefy Guardian Scout. Generally, when you find it any unblocked/dodged attack will kill Link in one shot, or severely injure him. I made several attempts to destroy it using the weapons I had beforehand (some Knight's Broadswords, a Guardian sword, and a smattering of other weapons), but to no avail. The boss isn't terribly tough, one you learn how to fight it; in fact, one you have its patterns down, you can dispatch it quite easily.

If anybody wants to know, walk in with the Champion's Tunic and whatever armor you can get at that time. Eat any item with a high-level defense boost (you can use Ironshrooms; they're quite common) before fighting it, for best results. Make sure you have some other foods, too; also, don't eat anything with a passive effect, or you'll cancel the Defense Boost you will oh-so-desperately need your first times through.

The boss' first phase relies on using powerful strikes with an axe; these will usually one-shot you, so try to get around behind it. Bonus points if you can perfect dodge/parry it; you can use a Flurry Rush to make this easier.

Sometimes, it will jump away, and begin to wind up. Either get behind a pillar or run diagonally away. The following attack will kill you, no questions asked, if it hits. If it runs into a pillar, though, it will be momentarily stunned. Use this opportunity to use a charged attack with your strongest weapon.

After a while, it will sometimes replace it's spin attack with a spinning beam. This is relatively non-threatening; just run away from it and shoot it with arrows, preferably Ice Arrows. Ice Arrows will freeze the Scout and stop the attack early. If you must, use your Paraglider to escape.

It's last-ditch maneuver is to charge up a powerful laser cannon to shoot you with; it has a long, audible charge, and all of the blasts are an almost-guaranteed one-shot, but when it begins to shoot, don't panic. Lock onto it and strafe a good distance away from it (or parry a blast with any Guardian Shield - but only if you're daring.) When it stops, run up and hack away at it, then run away when the attack is mostly charged, so you will have adequate area to dodge.

Slaying the beast nets you a ridiculously powerful battleaxe (40 or so strength) and a very good shield. The bow from the chest is nice, too.

Equipment I used;
- Two Knight's Broadswords (one broke)
- Iron Greatsword (get it from the Zora's Domain, behind the central shrine)
- Solider's Bow
- Ice Arrows
- Champion's Tunic/Climber's Bandana (first upgrade)
- Hylian Trousers
- Tough Mushroom Skewer (high-level defense boost, made from five Ironshrooms)
- One other healing dish (I botched a dodge of the axe-swing)

Did you make that??!!??

Is BoTW any good?? I was thinking of getting if for my Wii U. Or asking my parents for one for next Christmas (a while away, I know). I definitely won't be getting a Switch any time soon. If this helps, the only Zelda game I own is Wind Waker.

BREATH OF THE WILD TIMELINE THEORY

Breath of the Wild takes place during the Child Timeline supposedly a few hundred years after the events of Four Sword Adventures. After Ganon was sealed in the Four Sword, he soon realized his constant resurrections and rebirths due to Demise's curse in Skyward Sword will alway be a failiure due to Link always defeating him in his physical form. Soon, Ganon abandoned his physical form and left it in the Four Sword, becoming Calamity Ganon. The giant mist surrounding Hyrule Castle is Ganon in his non-physical form.

END GAME SPOILERS AHEAD



When Link finally reaches Hyrule Castle, he see a giant blob that contains Ganon's new physical form. It is believed that Ganon attempted to recreate a physical form for himself. But, although he is in a physical form, it is a complete mess. He is pretty much made up of all of the Blight Ganon's parts and he has the Mobile Guardians' legs. Now the blob looks familiar to something we saw earlier in the game (in a flashback maybe?) which had somethong to do with rebirth… I think. That's what Ganon is trying to do, be reborn in a new physical form. In the end he succeeds, and we fight him as the Malice-covered final boss of Breath of the Wild: DARK BEAST GANON!

But Link whoops him anyways because Link is awesome.

BOTW is really good. It's quite different from the past major 3d titles in the series (TP, OOT, WW, etc.), and most of that is due to the fact that it is open-world based. I certainly enjoyed it and found it more enjoyable than, say, Wind Waker. I'm not quite sure what I think about it in comparison to OOT. (I might like Ocarina of Time better than BOTW). Without going into details, I find Breath of the Wild to be lacking in certain areas that other TLoZ games, in my opinion, excelled at. In my mind, BOTW is what you get when you combine The Legend of Zelda, Portal, and Minecraft.

I got BOTW for the Wii U, and it runs fairly well. I've never played it on the Switch, so I haven't personally experienced any difference in performance between the two versions. The FPS does drop a couple of times in certain areas and times, but nothing game-breaking. I found the game easy to get into, but it still presented a good deal of challenge. Definitely recommend it.

No problem. Hopefully this helps

Not related to BotW, but my best friend got me the OoT manga!!!!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE now I have the holy book of my fandom

Man I want this game… too bad it's not on PC (and getting an emulator version this early on… well, I'd probably get sued by Nintendo lol). And I don't exactly want to buy a Wii U or Nintendo Switch just for this game.

Yeah, I can totally see not wanting to get a Wii U at this point, and honestly, I'm just waiting for more games on the Nintendo Switch, and then I'll probably get the console.

I have never had a console and I don't think I'm starting now lol.

My parents won't by a Switch, or even a Wii U… I even SAW a switch at an ACTUAL store… (*cries in corner)

You can probably earn one though using pocket money.

So… What's everyone's favorite area? Mine is Hyrule Castle (there's sooo much more there than you think there would be)
<spoiler>
there's even a shrine there xD

Gah…. tricky to say. Maybe the whole Gerudo Desert. It kind of blows my mind that BOTW is so big that it can have one gigantic area dedicated to a desert. The whole Gerudo questline also was probably my favorite.

I'm curious to see what order everyone completed the Divine Beasts in.

I went Zora>Rito>Goron>Gerudo. Frankly, I thought Waterblight Ganon and Thunderblight Ganon were the hardest of the blights. Windblight was super easy, and Fireblight was just about right.
