The amount of times this game has just made me go "nope" and teleport away is astoundingUmmm... so this is going to be a nested spoiler, because this may be the most wtf moment of the game so far.
What is even this game?Okay, so the Floor Masters are already extremely wtf and frightening, but when I found them in a cave near the Hyrule Ridge Tower, I got up on a ledge and managed to kill them using some bomb arrows. But then...
chucklefucking PHANTOM GANON pops out of them after they die, who proceeds to teleport over and instantly kill me.

Probably Monday Nintendo will announce x millions sold in 72 hours or something. If not then we'll know Japanese and UK sales middle of the week.Do we know when we’ll get sales numbers? I’m hyped to see how this game did
Yeah I felt that way for a bit too. Then just decided to pick a direction and commit to being spontaneous. There are so many points of interest to head towards, just gotta choose oneHonestly don't know where I want to go now. I'm in Central Hyrule still and there's just so many places I want to explore and see, and I have no idea what I want to do lol. This is choice paralysis: the game.
I don’t think I’ve gotten that yet, but there’s been a shrine that I am certain you can’t beat without the paragliderCan I even complete the Windy Device shirne without the paraglider? (West of Hyrule Castle)
I’ve given up on choosing, I let the squirrel brain take over.Honestly don't know where I want to go now
Thanks! I wonder how much it’ll sell in three daysProbably Monday Nintendo will announce x millions sold in 72 hours or something. If not then we'll know Japanese and UK sales middle of the week.
That sequence leading up to the climax is extremely bliss. Especially the music becoming more intense as you get closer.Doing the Rito stuff at the moment,
The path up to the Ark is super cool! Bouncing off the ships and using Tulin is some exciting platforming. I'm assuming the person who talks when you arrive is one of the 'sages'?

Will that sales figure included both physical and digital sales?

Like an hour, maybe. No morePlayed a bit this morning, still not off the tutorial island. I got ascend, how much longer do I have left?
some good tips here:
It's part of an obvious quest line right after the tutorial island? Not too hard to get.As much as I like the game being a bit more linear, like a mix of old and new styles, it's weird when you find something you still can't do. I just found a side quest that is also impossible to complete without the paraglider, and not only that but I was forced to kill myself because I was up high in a balloon and was told to use the paraglider to go back down but I don't have it yet so the only way down was to jump to death or teleport and cancel the side quest.
I will stop exploring for now and will progress the story instead, but there are just so many things I'm enticed to see, it's difficult to focus. I just wish they gave you paraglider sooner so you would have more freedom in these first few hours.
Where can I find a rocket Zonai distributor? Is there one in the tutorial area?try a rocket! or building a vehicle
You could also just try to land in water.As much as I like the game being a bit more linear, like a mix of old and new styles, it's weird when you find something you still can't do.

Find the Bubbel Gem.Time to ask a question.
Does anyone know how a cave gets "completed"? The gameplay demonstration had all the caves having checkmarks on them, but even if I go through a cave, it still has no checkmark.
Thanks!Like an hour, maybe. No more
I understand the nitpick. I think it’s a bit more of a psychological niggle if you’ve played BotW. The Great Plateau gave you all the essentials. The Great Sky Plateau does not. So there will be people who will be like, “I’m done with the tutorial!” and go exploring the overworld.It's part of an obvious quest line right after the tutorial island? Not too hard to get.
I got it randomly from the gacha. There is one in the tutorial area, yes.Where can I find a rocket Zonai distributor? Is there one in the tutorial area?
I tried. And missed.You could also just try to land in water.
And then miss by inches. Which is hilarious
I like that he has back up dancers now.Massive downgrade for the korok seed quests Hetsu's new dance is weak
Anyway I got to my first (?)
fight, thought I was extremely outmatched, turns out he's as big a joke as ever.master kohga
Hmmm. On the map, it looks like you can only get certain capsules from certain machines, so maybe I just missed that one on the starting island.It has to be said: I LOVE the Zonai capsules. I have confirmed that a bird glider with two fans will gain altitude, and I figure I could also install a third fan on the bottom of the glider to help it gain even more.
I LOVE this game.
I am also having a blast creating increasingly complex contraptions for the extremely simple job of helping Addison prop up Hudson’s sign.

Why? I want to take my sweet time with the game and avoid visiting the towns and settlements for now (feels good to visit Impa in Bread after you liberated all Divine Beasts and got the Master Sword, for instance).I reccommend doing the Impa Geoglyphs quest, they're more important than the game seems to treat it
So, is it ok to say that so far I have mixed feelings?
I expected to be more excited about playing the game, but here I am.
I know that maybe I’m going to be one of the few persons in the world that says this, but I preferred BotW Great Plateau over the tutorial area of TotK.
All of the Great Plateau was amazing: the old man/King, the towers activating, the awakening of Link, the main story, the setting, etc
But here, Rauru was ok. Nothing espectacular. The shrines structure again is not exciting to me, and found the Great Sky Island to be more linear
I have to vent.
The first two hours was amazing but is it me or does the level design go to absolute shit in the snowy area of the Great Sky Island?
Getting up to the shrine was a pain as the correct path up wasn't signposted clearly and the path that seems natural just lead to slippery unclimbable cliffs. This would be fine normally, but when I am under time pressure because I don't have any warm clothing it was incredibly annoying.
Ended up using a guide, and I shouldn't have to do that for the starting area.
After that, it took me nearly an hour to get back to the temple of time because there wasn't an intuitive path from the snow shrine back there. At one point I spent half an hour trying to cross a freezing river the opposite direction to what the devs clearly intended, and it was impossible because the combination of the the current, the physics system being too fussy, and the logs not sticking together evenly meant this seemingly simple task was nightmarish.
In the end I just gave up and went the long way around, and now I feel like crap because the game was so amazing and then suddenly it was nothing but frustration.
I definitely gotta go back to the sky islands soon to explore more thoroughly. Feels like I'm at a Zonai gear disadvantageI'm thinking I must have missed one as well. I found 2 and neither dispensed that particular capsule. I haven't gone too far past the tutorial islands so I'm thinking about restarting to go over them more thoroughly. I definitely want a nice stockpile of the Zonai items available before moving on. Between this and BOTW , Zelda is gonna get damned sick of waiting on me lol.
