The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Taking a real ass beating from the first miniboss of Zora domain. Feels like I shouldn't be fighting it yet.

This game is incredible. Went into an area a little outside my difficulty (only done the two towns to the west and just reached Zora's Domain) since I don't fancy tackling the giant elephant yet.

Just climbed the Central Tower (Hyrule Field and Castle) dodging lasers from two stationary guardians. Just before that I did the nearby Shrine and it was huge. Going near the Castle next since I'm doing the regain memories quest. I'll try parrying those lazers!

You guys seen the giant spider crawling over the volcano? You can sometimes see some kind of giant serpent thing in the jungle to the south too.

Not had any durability issues, I usually just use what the monsters drop and save the nice stuff for emergencies.

Sledgehammers mine ore by the way and doesn't appear to lose durability doing it.

So do bombs

This sounds really corny, but it feels more like an adventure than a game. Like when Skyrim came out, except you literally do and climb anything you can think of. The physics system is amazeballs, it seems like there is 10 solutions to every problem/fight.

The Wii U version looks beautiful on my 59 inch plasma. No regrets on saving $300.

yeah fuck it, I purchased it digitally on the Wii U. I've been watching some streams on twitch of people playing it on the Wii U, looks fine to me..

Not gonna stress it and look for a Switch, they're sold out everywhere in my area. I'll just wait until Black Friday or when Mario World comes out.

I havent played my Wii U since Mario Kart came out. At least the damn thing will finally get some playing time!

I brought a bear to the stable, guy wouldn't take him in. Sad!

.

Should it have come with a trigger warning?

Popped this in the Wii U to check it out. Seems fine to me, looks great on the Wii U. Can't wait to get to this.

if you are running BOTW on wii u CFW, don't forget to download the new DLC they added yesterday - its only 1 megabyte download so far, but adds some costumes and stuff and later will add more content (its the "season pass"). You can download and install just the dlc if you already have the game/update installed for USA, but keep in mind you must have mocha running to allow the game to see the DLC.

Reviews are saying that this is one of the greatest games ever made - would you guys agree?

Its quite possible, im only about 10-15 or so hours in, but im just exploring, and probably have 10 percent of the game done maybe? maybe a little more.

I just left Kakariko last night, so it's way too soon to tell. Definitely a great game. Like a mix of OoT and Skyrim. I don't feel the same magic as I did when playing Majora's Mask, for instance, but that could also be due to age. It's hard to put down, and that's one of the best things I can say about a game.

The mentioned difficulty is kind of a dealbreaker for me.
I've never played Zelda games for their difficulty. If I wanted a Souls game I'd play a Souls game.

Verdict on Wii U version?

No fucking way am I buying a switch.
