No upgrades needed Ok, time to do the fire temple. I did a bunch of rupee gem farming in the caves to get some things I needed. Lmao every day you say you’re taking a break for a few days and every day you come in here with some crazy progress. how many hours do you think you’ve played so far?

I know. I get burnt out, but then I play a little and get sucked back in 40 hours? Edit: it’s like Elden Ring again. Every day I was “taking a break” lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then sidetracked while being sidetracked. Rinse and repeat until I forget what the original idea even was 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,898 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Ill be honest, eventhough just exploring the world is still fun, the rewards you get for doing so are pretty weak. 90% of the treasure chests I find just have junk in them. Average breakable weapons/shields/bows and random materials. Sometimes ill open a chest and literally forget what I got from it a few seconds later Same thing with side quests. Even the more elaborate ones end with me getting a few rupees and maybe some materials. Thats it. The shrines and towers are by far the most rewarding content because the puzzles themselves are fun but they actually contribute to permanent upgrades that affect Link along with the game world (like revealing chunks of the maps and unlocking fast travel points). Im starting to think I should just focus on the story and just do all the shrines/towers that I come across on the way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will make looting mountains even easier. I think you'll like the Fire Temple. I did the Wind Temple yesterday and it actually felt like a downgrade in comparison. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was fantastic! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The occasional great/epic one is tucked away. Like you, I’m going to focus on the main quests moving forward. You get a lot of loot anyhow. If I hit a road block, I’ll hunt for more items. I was feeling burnt out when I made collecting items a priority. The shrines/towers are awesome, so I’ll definitely do more shrines when my sensor goes off. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bhytre 2,753 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Almost wish I had a Ditch to play this. Kinda funny how missing out on a new Zelda game and not playing it day one used to be something unthinkable to me Yet I bought and still got BOTW for the WiiU sitting in my cabinet, still sealed Do you miss out on not playing BOTW before this one or can you go right in?

The dude from the research lab mentions it but he’s still at lookout landing in my game and hasnt gone to the lab. I’m guessing there’s some specific story content that triggers him moving.

Yes you collect items on your journey/quest.... The journey is not solely to collects the items... If you're journeying just for items then you will get burnt out quickly but if you're doing quests and collecting items on the way then you hit the sweet spot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This game picks up right where BOTW ends off... Like literally right after. It builds on top on what BOTW established and adds soo much more. If you play this first you may not enjoy BOTW as much. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
