I never thought that I would like a game more than I like the Ocarina of Time.   Welp...that has changed.  Breath of the Wild is absolutely incredible.  

Played all night Saturday night and all day yesterday (not Friday because of f****** Amazon).  Cant wait to get off work in 7.5 hours LOL!

The main gripe I'm reading are how weapons break over time. Perhaps a gauge showing how long the weapon has left would help out, but I like this mechanic as it forces you to use other weapons you wouldn't normally use. I would have picked up one of the swords and never touched any of the spears or other weapons if they didn't break.

I am completely fine with it breaking down and even without a gauge but some weapons seems to just break too fast/easily. Maybe I am not deep enough in the game yet (been exploring and even got close to the castle only to be disintegrated by a Guardian) but the weapons could definitely use some more durability or if they could add some crafting where you could fix some of your weapons, then that would be cool.

I am curious though, will the Master Sword also breaks?

For my first playthrough I'm doing it all with my own brainpower . I definitely like to 100% my games but this is just too fun exploring without anything guiding me whatsoever. I work in AZ in the middle of nowhere for all of May so I'm aiming to do a second playthrough while using a strategy guide during that time. I'll be out there alone and there's not much to do besides play golf so I'll have plenty of time to get in some Zelda action.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

For completing the Zora Divine Beast quest, you get the Lightscale Trident. The weapon seems to last a bit longer, but it can still break. However, each weapon you get for doing the Divine Beast quests can be repaired by a NPC at the location you received it from.

For the Master Sword, it's my understanding that it does break, but it re-charges and appears in your inventory when it's ready to go.

The Matser Sword doesn't break but if you keep using it its damage will decrease until you go awhile without using it to cool off

Man, I had no idea the older released Link Amiibos gave you OG costumes

About to go hunting after work

I want Link Wolf and Epona Amiibos, what are the chances those are all gone now that they are useful in BotW?

That's good to know, would really hate it if those disappear because it's been used too much.

Thanks for clarifying.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Do you know if the Hylian Shield breaks? I was thinking about making a run for it, but if it breaks, maybe it's only meant to be found when you're actually ready to fight Ganon. I read that you can get a replacement, but I'm not sure if that's accurate.

What??? I thought one gives you Epona, one time only? Which ones give costumes?

The Hylian Shield does not break either

Here's all the unlockable costumes via Amiibos and which Amiibos unlock which costumes

This can't be true, can it?

Nintendo confirmed a new Switch ‘feature’ that has some gamers furious

BGR News

BGR NewsMarch 6, 2017

It’s not entirely a shock, but it’s still a bit surprising how universally positive the early response has been to the Nintendo Switch. After the travesty that was the Wii U, expectations for the Nintendo Switch were sky-high ahead of its release earlier this month. Despite very positive reports from earlier reviews like BGR’s own Nintendo Switch review that was published ahead of launch, the lack of available games at launch seemed like it might be a big problem for Nintendo, especially since the pain from the lack of top-tier Wii U games is still so fresh on everyone’s minds. But the novelty of the Switch’s hardware design and the incredible response to the new console’s first flagship game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, have been praised far and wide.
As positive as the response to Nintendo’s Switch console has been so far, there are still obviously a handful of complaints that people have about the system. Some are more serious than others, of course, but one in particular has some gamers absolutely furious.


Allow us to paint you a picture. You’re powering your way through Breath of the Wild. You’ve breezed through all of the shrines, you’ve gathered all sorts of powerful weapons, and you’ve spent countless hours exploring Hyrule and completing tasks as you go. Then, something happens to your Nintendo Switch console. Maybe something happened and it won’t turn on anymore. Maybe there was a manufacturing defect and you need to swap your system out for a new one.
No big deal, right? You’ll just grab your new console and pick up right where you left off, right? Wrong.
Nintendo has confirmed in the Nintendo Switch FAQ on its website that game save data cannot be transferred between systems. Period. Full stop. “On Nintendo Switch, game save data is stored on the console’s System Memory,” the website says. “This will not change whether downloadable software or software from a game card is being played.”
The FAQ continues, “Game save data cannot be saved or copied to a microSD card.” And as a nice little added jab, the site notes that if your internal store fills up and you no longer have any space to save game data, your only option will be to free up space using this procedure — you won’t be able to store any save data on a microSD card.
There is a tiny glimmer of hope that this terrible policy might change at some point in the future, however. Nintendo used the language “at this time” when explaining the policy to Kotaku, which implies that some day, this clear and obvious shortcoming may be addressed in some sort of system update. Maybe.

There is no reason for this kind of fooishness. I can forgive not having online/cloud saving but not being able to move it to an SD card is pretty ridiculous.

 

[joe billionaire]

tomorrow if people haven't picked up their preorders they are available for sale at GameStop, grabbed a screen protector but that's all they had lol

Never got amiibos before. Came across these at target today.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. When I purchased the Xbox One S, it was so convenient to be able to just sign in under my GT and everything loaded up.

I've never bought any before either, but I scooped up Link shooting the arrow and Zelda this weekend

 

[fousey]

^^ I just read that the Zelda amiibo gives you the Hylian shield! Did you get it?
