JPLangley, The Korok "seeds" are all little turds as well...

[@Nuvendil]

I mean it kinda is. The seeds stop meaning anything after 450. So you have 450 moments to give what you're doing a hard think and realize it's pointless :P. An easy fix would be to have the completion meter tied to the inventory slots not the seeds. SO you would only have to get 450 to 100% rather than the 900

[@erroldtumaque3430]

i've done almost all 120 shrines and somehow only found 76 korok seeds. I feel I've ran into most of hte obvious rock and magensis ones so I'm like where the hell are the rest haha

[@Zeratultheking]

The seeds are literally in the most most obscure places you'd think of. A random tree, side of a building, etc. What is worse is even with a guide you need one that says how to get the seeds, as all guides I have seen show where the seed ends not where it starts. Aka all the flower trails, races aren't where the guide shows, so you then have to look around to even find the damn things. I just finished getting 900 of them today. I got the golden poo and was like ah funny poking fun at the ridiculous task, followed by a what the hell why would that be the reward.....

After putting just under 400 hours into "Breath of the Wild," I am proud to say that I have THE ULTIMATE COMPLETION GAME FILE!!! What exactly does that mean? Basically, it's an OCD person's wet dream! I defeated Calamity Ganon! I conquered all four divine beasts! I finished all 120 shrines, and found all the treasure chests inside them! I found all 900 korok seeds, and obtained one piece of golden poop! I finished every single side quest AND shrine quest! I unlocked all my memories! I filled in the entire Hyrule Compendium! I found, and fully upgraded, every piece of armor AND horse armor! Finally, if you look at my inventory, I have exactly 50 of every single item in the game (excluding fairies since you can't carry that many)! What's that? What about all the extra content? That's right! I also obtained ALL the amiibo armor/items as well, and upgraded them all! I completed all the DLC.... AND I DID THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN IN MASTER MODE!!!!!! My game file is COMPLETE!!!! I decided to leave it with Link standing on the cliff, just outside of the shrine of resurrection, looking out over Hyrule, wearing his champion's tunic, hylian trousers, and only the master sword strapped to his back, just like in his memories.

And as for the completionist's complaint about rain... Yes, it sucks, but at least you can predict it, as you have a weather forecast feature near the clock. So I've often checked this forecast before climbing something, and not even bothered if rain was coming up.

[@kriscynical]

It's amusing how Jirard obviously completely missed the final interaction with Kass in Rito Village after completing all of his riddles by saying in the video that Link and Zelda have no romantic involvement in this game. Kass literally says his teacher was in love with Zelda and lamented that she "only had eyes for her appointed knight attendant" and wrote the lyric "the princess's love for her fallen knight awakens her power, and in the castle the Calamity is forced to cower". Has Nintendo _ever_ been that straightforward before? lol

[@VitorMerschmann]

if you read zelda's diary, it's clearly that she loves him.

[@kriscynical]

@@VitorMerschmann If you look up the original Japanese translations of the adventure log that are written from Link's point of view it's pretty obvious that he had feelings for her, too, what with talking about how beautiful her voice was and how much he wanted to see her smile again with his own eyes. It definitely gives a different ring to the repeated phrase from the shrine monks, "May the goddess smile upon you." doesn't it??

That was established in Skyward Sword with Demise's curse; that an incarnation of his hate would follow those with the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero for the rest of time. Zelda in that game is Hylia in mortal form, and I believe it was confirmed in Hyrule Historia that the Zelda and Link in Skyward Sword were the origin of the royal family of Hyrule, so Hylia's bloodline is the royal family.

Also when I was doing Mipha's part of the champion's ballad where you have to kill a bunch of guardians. Just when I had wasted almost all of my arrows killing one of them (out of four, I believe), what colour does the fucking moon have? That's right!

So the longer time you take to complete it the more enjoyment you will get. 240 hour to complete everything? It obviously will be boring. But with the accomplishable goals, you will have a reason to come back, pick up 4 or 5 korok seeds/ star fragments/ upgrade required stuff from time to time. It's fun for me. edited: sorry, I just realized so many people are arguing with my wording, but I completely don't mean that collecting korok poop will be boring. I guess what I should use is fatigue. The fatigue of trying to complete everything in such a short time.

[@grimoireweiss5203]

Yeah the game may be fun for quite a while and then what? You don't have to give over powered stuff as a reward for doing something that takes a while to complete a decent reward is enough. Give something fun for player to make it worth and extend that play time a bit. You may be joking but if not it just sounds as a fanboy opinion. Don't make excuses for the game but criticize it so that sequels may improve on it.

[@brickandorder]

@@grimoireweiss5203 I agree. I feel the storyboard of this game was somehow pieced together by cheaptalk rather than actually being stringed together with intentions based on each character's relationship to Link. Saying that collecting things is the end-all for a Zelda game is not customary of Zelda games at all. Sure you needed to collect things to meet a required deficiency. That used to be the achilles heel that we got used to. But getting rid of it basically led me to believe there was something else worth discovering. All I hear is people raving about playing a copious amount of time grinding, almost as if Kishimoto was exploiting it this time around. The puzzles, the cryochamber blueness and the Sheikah cryptic elders are so samey and I will not miss them if they are forgotten in BoTW 2. Other than that a few gimmicks I was displeased with were the durability allotments for your weaponry, the same horse and bed rental with the same salespeople everywhere, the fact that your focus on the sheikah slate makes you prone to tagging towers miles away, and just seeming overall like a waste of asset equity. I'm sorry this game was so bad. I would have rather played an old Zelda game on the N64 or Gameboy.

I actually loved that Link DIDN'T have a voice in Breath of the Wild because, for the first time, it was actually done with intention. One of Zelda's journals in her study makes note that Link might have been through great traumas in his past that have scarred him emotionally and keep him from speaking. That's just....so damn well written. Also, Jirard, not only is there music on horseback, there's both a day AND night variant of the track (and it's easily one of my favorite songs in the game). Clearly you didn't ride a horse for more than ten second at once to not have heard the track lol.

[@sealink129]

Yeah, but isnt it stated somewhere (if not, then heavily implied at some point) that Link didn’t speak because it made it easier for him to bear the stress of his task? Idk. Maybe that’s in the same area as past traumas. Both explanations though really humanize Link and make him relatable

Yeah it's definetly there I think he meant that it's not the primary focus of there relationship in the cutscenes. (Yes I know I'm responding to a year old comment sorry)

[@iCrowLink]

Personally I think Jirard is right, Link and Zelda definitely have feelings for each other we know that from Mipha's diary and Kass' song, but their relationship itself never goes beyond friendship. Not just because she's a princess and he's a knight, but also because there's more important shit going on. 😋 Maybe in Tears of the Kingdom though. 👍

[@dbfan199]

“Jirard: is clearly told that he can’t complete the game so don’t even try by developers ” How is “ah yes please take on the challange.” The devs telling Jirard to not even try? The devs deliberately invite him to try and complete the game. Yes I know this is a joke but part of said joke doesn’t work when the devs openly invite him to try and 100% the game.

Completing the games is boring and tedious. I never saw the appeal to it, i just like the shows format

[@ADTillion]

DBfan Forgive me for this late reply, as it might be redundant at this juncture but I’m guessing you’ve not engaged in conversation much in East Asian context. That style is actually the opposite of inviting him. You have to read between the lines and understand that the Japanese try to avoid being direct in such situations, so as to avoid causing someone to “lose face” by explicitly discouraging them. They already said “muri” which means impossible, in a very strong manner(there are other words to use, but they specifically chose that one), and were just being polite to his response to that: as it’s easier to give up than succeed through such frustration, especially if they expected him to do it on his own without a guide. Japanese traditionally doesn’t really have sarcasm, but this is the closest equivalent you’ll get to sarcasm. It’s difficult for other cultures to understand at times, but that’s how it is. Many westerners take such remarks at face value and often get the opposite message.

No no no, the breath of the Wild Tunic isn't based on the tunic from the first Zelda. It's a brand new tunic. The original legend of Zelda tunic can be found from 8-bit link amiibo.

Except it looks damn near similar to that tunic, and in game it even says it is a reward for monks to finish all the shrines to emulate the hero..... It is fairly similar in color and only has 1-2 key differences past that. Looking at tunic of the wild you can clearly see it was inspired by the first game, and for non-amiibo players it might as well be from the first game.

You know, I never really got the appeal of any kind of reward unlocked by 100% completion, especially when there's no new game+. Unless it's like an ending or something. A really atrocious example of this is the GCN/PS2/Xbox game, Ultimate Spider-man. In the game the reward for completing it 100% is the black Spidey suit, cool right? Well, maybe it would be, if it wasn't for the fact you're now in an empty city with nothing to do besides random fights and race replays. What's the point of a cool reward if you don't get to do anything with it?

[@osurpless]

Emerald Interesting to hear of that one, and something for me to remember when I finally get around to playing it. As someone earlier mentioned, it's much older than the blue coins of Mario Sunshine, but I think it is exacerbated by the use of 3D worlds in modern gaming. Take a 2D game like Final Fantasy VI; I relished for years playing it via learning all spells. Even though some are quite useless (Carbuncle) and others are limited but take way too long to learn (Drain), it never felt like a chore. Maybe it is because the world is more digestible in 2D, making it easier for the player to become invested. Or perhaps it is just a great unexplained mystery, much like the rest of life...

[@ThisIsEmerald]

Oliver Surpless I'm not really a completionist is the thing, I can respect being one for the sake of it, even admire it, and it's cool when you're rewarded for it, but if they're going to dangle a carrot on the stick that carrot better be delicious. the worst thing about the black suit reward I mentioned is that it's something I would want, I want to play the game in a black suit that would be cool, but the game gives you the black suit and then that's it, games over, you've already done everything. I don't see the point.

[@osurpless]

Emerald It does seem like a no-brainer to at least have the option in all gaming; not necessarily a permanent option that requires deleting the save data/file to get rid of it, but one that can be toggled on and off. I think it may also come from the mentality of the game creator/director, as game directors are just as distinct and diverse as filmmakers, if not more so. Take Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox. The dynamic and unparalleled combat just screams for the ability to carry all the weapons you find throughout the game to a NG+, but you can't do that because the director (Tomonobu Itagaki) wanted the player to "be continually challenged". That's pretty asinine, and should be up to the player to define the gaming experience for themselves. Which is probably why the second game on 360 having such an option makes it much better for replayability, despite being a downgraded sequel overall.

You can get star fragments from silver lynels, it helps, a lot. Also you can buy all of the compendium photos, from the guy in the back of the hateno ancient tech lab. And and, if you zoom in on the map, some names will not show up, even if you know they exist, so thats a useful tip on filling up your map.

[@cullenlatham2366]

Jirard, the compendium says silver lynels can drop star fragments, even if as the rarest drop, at least you are getting gems and powerful weapons... the compendium can be completed with cash (didn't fight enough weak lynels, for me it was silver or nothing by the time i farmed them...) you eventually learn how to deal with rain and climbing (climbing gear + can "cheat" most cliffs...)

[@ToastCrossDimensions]

Cullen Latham Basically if you fight them at night, you have a good chance of one dropping.

[@redhandsbluefaces]

+ToastCrossDimensions is that really true?

[@Tass...]

Some (a couple) of the Lynels remain red even after the 4 beasts are beaten. The one on top of the mountain at Zoros domain is one example. They don't all turn silver.

[@cullenlatham2366]

ZXBilly true, a select few lynels dont evolve as fast, but you also forget: there are 3 lynel variants (weapon-style-wise) and 3 degrees of weapon strength they can drop. I am at the " silver or nothing" point and the ones that remain weak either dont drop weapons (Hyrule castle gatehouses) or i did get a pic of (shortsword class). I needed the basic lynel spear, middle lynel spear, basic lynel crusher, middle lynel crusher, and middle shortsword. Also, i need to self fact check, but i believe the polymus mountain lynel is silver for me at this point.

[@cullenlatham2366]

ToastCrossDimensions: you would think, but i have also seen vids where lynels drop star fragments durring the day, so it's not exclusive to night. having a better chance at night needs some fact checking (code digging). i either have horrible luck or the drop rate is the same regardless of time of day.

[@tommoose4769]

Am I the only one who LOVES the rain mechanic? Let me explain. When I play the game I play the game as if I am Link. I go, where I would go, if I was Link. This is a game about exploring the wilds of Hyrule. If you're in the mountains hiking you probably won't do a lot of rock climbing in the rain. I think I'm sounding judgmental, but I don't mean to be-I just think this is interesting. I think people who hate the rain mechanic were pushing Link to go where THEY wanted to go, not were Link would choose to go. I partly blamed the shrine seeker. I turned it off because I didn't want it pulling me to go places-I wanted to explore based on sight and desire-really discover Hyrule like I did when I was five with the original. Another point I'll make is this: There isn't much story in this game; in past Zelda's you went where you could go based on the story. In this Zelda you go where you want and find story whenever. I think in BOTW the game is the story. My play-through was written by the directions I chose based on what I wanted to do and what the weather allowed me to do. And was directions I chose was based on what story I learned in the game; Link was already defeated once. He has one chance to save Hyrule now. If you had once chance to save the kingdom would you risk climbing in the rain? Okay, that sounds really judgmental but I'm just hamming it up to prove a point :) But in real life if you are hiking in the mountains you probably wouldn't chose a rainstorm as a time to rock climb. And as far as I know there isn't much equipment that helps with rock climbing in the rain. So it's more realistic considering the cold and heat mechanic. Jirard, if you see this, do me a favor. If you haven't done your play-through on hard mode yet do it like this. It will make the experience much more fun. It makes revisiting areas a blast because the weather might be different. And if you really gotta climb somewhere you wait the rain out or build a fire, just like Link would. I promise you'll have fun. I'm well over three-hundred hours into my first play-through, I have a 119 shrines found, and I'm restarting on hard mode to play-through again to first complete it on hard mode instead. Maybe nobody is reading comments on here any more and I should just go ply Zelda.

They should have added 3 mini dungeons that have bosses, and then you get the last three heart containers.

You can get an extra heart container with DLC, but the intense annoyance is still there

[@TheRealChrisTDH]

I’m trying to 100% the game, by collecting all the armor and doing all the shrines (etc.). But I’m not insane. I am NOT doing all those damn Koroks... I don’t care what you say, I’m only gonna get the required amount needed for fully upgrading your inventory.

[@countandroid6367]

He did way more than 100%. Way too much XD

[@DuskyPredator]

I was thinking it weird too that Link does not speak, especially in the memories while everyone else does. Although Zelda's diary actually says that Link is not speaking and it really annoys her. That is until apparently she learns that the reason he does not speak much is that apparently he is feeling crushed by expectations and is not speaking in order to try and stay strong, that he is doing his duty.

[@thesterndragoon9159]

Miyamoto has been asked why Link has no voice several times and I honestly like his unwavering answer: Link is not a player-character, but an avatar. Even his name was originally just meant to signify that player-to-character "link" (which was later adapted as a pun to the multi-world and multi-time plots of various games). He is meant to take on the qualities of the one controlling him as a direct proxy protagonist. As such, it's a much stronger imprint to be able to mentally replace YOUR voice with his when he's "silent". While I agree that it was much stronger in earlier Zelda games and the more they add full personality NPCs, it starts to seem odd how mute Link is, I still mostly agree with the design choice of him being given no audible dialogue.

[@nworder4life]

There's a contradiction though because almost all of the 3d zelda games lInk does have a personality and the npcs do hear him talking to them. I'm pretty sure there stance on Link being an avatar is going to change very soon and eventually he will get a voice. Hell in BOTW he's already an established character with history and friendships.

[@justafanofz]

DuskyPredator see, I never found that diary entry, but even then, I could get that idea from the memories

[@DuskyPredator]

One of Zelda's diaries is in her study which is about her findings, it is in a tower you can see on the castle and houses one of the memories. But across from that and with a bit of climbing you can find her room which and the diary in there has her recounting what she was thinking in all of the memories. That she was frustrated by her lack ability while to her Link seemed to have no trouble taking on his role, which frustrated her further to be angry at him, but she also that she felt guilty over that. You can also find the King's diary in the library for his side of things and that he felt guilty over how he had to treat his daughter. And as you play Paya's diary also has new entries about Link.

[@thetimelords911]

Its confirmed in the diary that Link can speak, just only to Zelda in their private time.

[@nothanksbro-leonkennedy9605]

That opening scene when link is standing on that cliff will always be one of my favorite scenes in entertainment history

I hope hard mode has a hunger mechanic so I can justify 3 pages of food

NinjaDude5x5 3 pages of food is best even without the hard mode I have 3 pages of food usually too

[@Vlazeca]

Please no. I already had to use up 2 entire pages of food just for health restores during the Calamity Ganon fight. Don't do that to me.

[@edvance1030]

Wow. Really? I just used about 20 or so apples to restore my health once during the first fight with Calamity Ganon after I made a mistake and got hit by one of his more damaging attacks. It was so easy. I just sent his spears back to him with my ancient shield and used a few ancient arrows here and there. It was very easy.

[@nothanksfools]
