The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Like Wario First Thing in the Morning)

Nah I saw that on twitter today as well but honestly thought it was a bit of a stretch comparison wise.

Was it this?

That's not on Eventide, is it? Is it not that wee beach village north of Eventide?

The layout of the beach is very similar. There are a lot of locations in BotW which are nods in that way.

Did everyone already know about that bit where Eventide Island is Outset Island? I can't find the source I heard this from now, so I sound like a bloody lunatic.

*Lurelin village

Not eventide

I've not seen it, and it doesn't make much of a difference to me; but I can definitely see them doing something like that, and if they have it's a nice touch!

Doh! Sorry, I thought it was Eventide. Well, I'm off to bed now

It's just another example of why it's so great isn't it? I'll bet there's loads of other little nods that's haven't been spotted yet.

This is a bump - sorry. Er... I've started playing it again - having trouble thinking long-term at the moment and went back to what could seriously be called a "comfort game".

But on Master Mode. Not sure what the difference is really FUCK ME WHAT'S THAT LYNEL DOING IN THE PLATEAU

I love it all over again, as a game where I can just keep wandering around and doing stuff, man.

Maybe not Lynel Ritchie

What's been your thoughts on Master Mode now that you've presumably made it past the scary plateau Lynel? I found the regenerating health to be a right fucking ballache and didn't play for much longer past the Great Plateau.

Currently, I'm sneaking past everything, and haven't bothered killing any 'blins or 'fosses unless absolutely necessary - the plateau taught me that quite early on (e.g. Hestu's maracas).

And actually, I'm going to actually say a actually bad thing about Breath of the Wild, and this is true for regular non-master mode: combat with most things feels like it goes on too long. With bigger moblins etc., even if you know you've got the best of them, it is a bit tiresome going bash bash bash bash bash bash replace weapon bash bash bash bash bash replace weapon bash bash bash got em.

But I don't mind the sneaky method too much, and I'm appreciating going everywhere on my horse this time, and seeing the sights more casually, as opposed to climbing/gliding in a straight line to my radar. I still feel I could run around the world forever.

I think this rings true in the early game, but becomes less of a problem as you get access to some of the more powerful weaponry. I do remember my first Lynel feeling like a wall in regards to its HP pool, but I didn't mind that so much considering how those lads are meant to be tougher challengers.
