Yeah the game is pretty good about saves, if you mess up it's easy enough to reload. Though I did have a 30 minute period where the game just decided not to autosave, which was weird. I climbed the Central Tower, if that's the one nearish the castle. I believe I just jumped lots, and crouched while reviving stamina on the platforms.

Sorting only puts all your helmets / shirts / pants together, so you still have to go through the hats to find the Hylian hood, the shirts to find the Champions tunic, etc. Check out what I just got via my 8-bit Link amiibo, I'll spoiler tag it for anyone who's really sensitive but I believe it's only something you can get via amiibo so not a story spoiler: EDIT: Apparently it's also an award for completing all the shrines, so maybe look away if you want to do that.

While this is NIntendo's best game, I do have some nitpicks. -It rains way too often, which makes any climbing near impossible. This wouldn't be bad if you could just skip ahead but any camp fire you find will be out. If you make your own and skip to a point where it's still raining, you'll have to make another campfire to try again. -Switching between weapons, shields, bows, is easy and quick but switching between outfits is a pain, it'd be nice if you could set entire outfits to a hotkey. RIght now, you have to pause, go to the menu, scroll through 5+ pages of materials, and then look around the armour area for each piece of the outfit you want because you can't group them together in the menu. You could probably have both the plus and minus menus under the same, put horse calling on minus, and use down to change outfits. -Tilt controls at a few of the shrines is kind of sucky. With the success of this game, and the fact that Zelda games are currently stuck being released at the end of Nintendo console life cycles, I hope Nintendo is working on a sequel using the same assets/systems for a quicker turnaround, think Ocarina -> Majora. Get this game released in 2019 or something. And if they are, I hope they just go full voice acting at this point. For the most part, besides the Zora girl and Zelda, the voice acting is pretty good and impactful when you get it, it's always a bummer to meet a new character, get a bit of voice acting, only to have to go back to reading after a few lines. With the optional way most of the cut scenes work, I feel like Nintendo was a little afraid to go too far in with voice acting and cut scenes. This was a mistake, IMHO. At this point, I wouldn't even be opposed to Link speaking, if only a little bit.

Who needs horses?

It's weird that the Ritos and Zoras all evolved to be different colours but Hylians are all still caucasians......

THIS FUCKING GAME. Jesus. I've put at least 12 hours into it, likely more. I haven't gamed this much in a 24 hour period in years, and I haven't even done the first dungeon yet!! Unless shit falls apart later on in the game (doubt it), then this very well might be the best game Nintendo has ever released. The hype....... is real. As far as frame rate goes, it definitely sucked when you first started, and I noticed other dips when you go back to the opening area, but for the most part, on the Wii U, it's been decent. Either that or I just got used to it.

"Watch a movie", sure. Ethan and his wife are swingers, confirmed!

I've been playing since noon. It's as good as I thought it'd be! Check out these screenshots of some cool animals that I took.
-
Apparently there's a day 0 patch that addresses frame rate? Not sure if just Switch version or Wii U too.....
-
Yeah, the Switch probably isn't worth it, but ironically, I think with this, the other HD Zelda games, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, Xenoblade, Super Mario 3D World, etc plus things like NES Remix and the Virtual Console, I'd probably finally recommend a Wii U to someone now. Too bad Nintendo pulled the chord at their first opportunity.

But it does run smooth on PS4.

@GOH: Yeah, I would love if Nintendo went 3rd party.
-
Horizon Zero Dawn is deffo my GOTY contender for the year.
-
Holy shit, please release this:

I've bought a few games digitally, including recently Twilight Princess (cheaper digitally without the amiibo) and it's worked out fine. Here's a secret: when I do get a Switch, I'm probably going to be 100% digital. Danger is my middle name. I'm Cowboy DANGER Poet.

Good point, I modified my post.

Amazon in Canada, who is usually far superior when it comes to Nintendo, still doesn't have a delivery date for my copy of BOTW. My plan is to go to a store, let's call it Shbest Shbuy and buy a copy there, then when I get my Amazon copy, return it to Shbest Shbuy (Amazon copy will be cheaper than Shbest Shbuy). If I can't find a physical copy, I'll just download it digitally. The fact that you can download it digitally makes me hopeful that they won't try to Twilight Princess this and under supply it. We'll see.

Hey! UK! Stop calling vacuum cleaners "hoovers". That's not a thing, no one says that. Stop trying to make it a thing. It's NOT catching on.
-
Dropped frames is not unique to the Wii U version, I wouldn't sweat it Ethan.
-
Whole lotta nerd talk goin' on in here. Remember when Mordor came out and everyone was like "wow I can't wait for other devs to copy this idea into different franchises". What the hell happened to that? I want this in Ass Creed. EDIT: I was talking about the nemesis system, if that wasn't clear.

Arrival -At first I was like huh? but then I was like waaahhh?. Over all, a great film 9/10.

I hear after dungeon bosses are defeated Link says "requiescat in pace".

That's spoilery as fuck but I ain't even mad because hot damn that is amazing.
