*** Zelda: Breath of the Wild ***

I hit 52 shrines last night. Loving every second.

I want to explore more of Hebra, but I have been doing it with a fire sword equipped to stay warm. I think I am pushing my luck here. Right now if I get caught in a big fight and the sword breaks, I have problems and will need to hot foot it out of there :p

So I think I am going to have to stop my routine, head to Rito at least to get the warm clothing and then come back :)

Also picked up the Master Sword last night, and began practicing parrying Guardian blasts. Was reasonably successful. Managed to blitz all my shields though in a Temple Ruins which had many...MANY Guardians in there :D

Got the rest of my current armor to lvl 2, also managed to discover an extra memory accidentally :) just 8 of those to go now!

Have you not got:
The Hylian Shield? It's super easy to get and can take plenty of hits from Guardians.

Nope.

I have been avoiding Hyrule castle (I know it's there) purely because I am "building" myself up to it, coupled with my method of going through the game. I am going in a counterclockwise direction and unlocking an area, fully exploring and combing through it then moving onto the next one. Meaning Hyrule castle will be one of if not the last place I unlock on the map. Just my way of giving myself direction in the game :)

Plus it keeps me on my toes :D
 
Anyone tried master mode ? My mate did last night , there's a bloody white lynel on the great plateau :eek:

He said he tried throwing his stick at it but that didn't work hahahaha

I laughed WAY too much at this :D

Tell him to try the Master Stick next time.

I grabbed it quite early on (around 10hrs in)! But before I could really use it against the Guardians, being the numpty that I am it turns out that I dropped it somewhere without realising and haven't yet got the ability to get it back. Such a fail!
 
I dropped it too when I was zapped by something and I didn't realise. I scoured everywhere but couldn't find it. I went back to my last save and went on from there - so I got it back :)
 
My Mrs bought me a Switch today but couldn't get a physical copy of the game, is there any reason other than cost and resale to worry about getting the digital version?

Try supermarkets that have a gaming section, they should have the title in stock.

No, in fact it loads much quicker from the internal memory, and a bit quicker from an SD card.

Oh, I guess if memory space is an issue then it is a large game.
 
I thought tests were done RE the load times and there were negligible differences?

Fastest was internal memory but we're talking maybe 1 second difference?

I'd just buy it mate, is such a brilliant game, always nice to get a deal but for the matter of a tenner you could be playing it now or waiting weeks to get a physical version.
 
Yeah, I will just buy the digital. I have a spare 128gb sd card I can use so space shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for the replies.
Sadly won't get my switch until my Mrs gets back from London on Tuesday. I couldn't find Switch here in France, they were all sold out.
She had grief buying the Switch from Game as the manager initially wouldn't sell her one if she didn't buy it as a bundle, wasn't until she pointed out she could reserve just the console online that he then agreed to sell her one.
 
Returned to the castle and found loads of stuff I missed before. Really cool area, I wish we could see it in its glory pre-ganon. Maybe that could be shown in the next dlc if prequel rumours are to be believed

92 shrines down. I didn't realise there were a set amount to of side quests either, so may try and do them all after all. I've been skipping some due to lack luster rewards

Google something for the first time last night and sort of glad I did as it was something I had already done and would otherwise be searching for a particular item forever :D it was in a major test shrine that was too hard for me early in the game so I left it for later and forgot about it
 
I too dropped the hylian shield at some indeterminate point. I assume lightning related but didn't notice for quite a while.

Luckily there is a way to get it back as such.

If you complete the tarrey town questline there will be a guy there who sells them to you for 3000 rupees or something like that.
 
I dropped my shield but luckily noticed early enough to reload. Just got 13 shrines to go and that will be all of them done. A last beast and Gannon after that. Though I will probably stop to do all the side quests, I have done a lot of them but there are a few areas I need to go back to and get.

Probably will be close to 130+ hours by the time I finish, maybe more. They really did something special with this game. To put it in perspective, I haven't even bothered playing a single player game for over a decade (I think Oblivion was probably the last and that for about 3 hours), and here I am rinsing a lot of free time on this
