I started playing BotW last week. Pretty impressed at the visuals. game seems fun too. Got to the end of the first shrine. Weapon breaking mechanic is a bit annoying but I like the concept of grabbing stuff enemies drop to get stronger. theres no shortage of weapons to use in this game

From what I got this game feels very different than previous 3D zeldas. First, there is some effort to make it compare to modern open world rpgs now. With weapons and armor that have actual stats, food that can be carried to heal different amounts of hearts and cooked together. Nintendo certainly leaped out of the comfort zone here. It's no wonder people said this compared favoravly to things like Skyrim and Witcher

Also Link can jump anytime now. And climb trees or walls (limited by stamina). This is huge. For some reason Link has always been barred from jumping before, to the point where entire dungeons could be designed over the need to overcome a fence about half of Link's height. This is over. We are finally 3D.

Yet core combat and movement controls are still classic zelda so its not like nintendo just overhauled the formula

I need to beat three more shrines to leave the great plateau. So Im told to look around from a tall place and put pins on the map at interesting places I find. I do that. Then I check the map and the pins seem to be outside the great plateau. Now I gotta remove the pins. But I cant see them in the full map. wth?

Then I look online, and Im told to zoom out

I zoom out to the max abd discover great plateau is like 2% of the game's map, I just placed the pins too far. Lmao

Meanwhile I get killed by a beamos who has too much hp. Kill some bokoblins. Lose to a bokoblin with a shield. Try to come back with arrows but realize they have to much hp. Go to a different bokoblin camp and manage to loot an old shield from them.

Then I try to enter a snow area and the game immediately tells me Im gonna die if I do that without winter clothes. Ok
