When that happens to me, I pick a game from my backlog that’s got a totally different feel and switch between them. One always tends to get more play than the other, but I eventually get around to beating both.

It also replaces some enemies with more powerful versions as you accumulate more points. It's an interesting system, although it did make finding blue maned lynels (and their gear) tricky in BotW.

Are you okay?

“Abbot is a dick with a vendetta against trees for taking his ability to walk”

Oh, right. I totally missed that you were talking about the primaries.

I feel like I'm missing something. Aren't the people you're describing the ones who would be voting for him already?

A bunch of people on here talking about Willow, but the biggest loss in my opinion is Earth to Ned.

I think we have different interpretations of what makes or doesn’t make them the same. Even ignoring the sky and depths, I see the cave systems, the tweaks to the terrain, etc. as it being a different map. The general layout is more or less the same, but the geometry is different and I’m exploring differently because…

I figured Loki got held up in post, but they didn’t want to push everything else back. It would explain the months long gap between Secret Invasion and the fall releases.

Yes.

You make a valid point, but I like to do my experimentation on the junk weapons and materials. Does fusing a bow to a melee weapon do anything wild? Let’s try it on a stick and this weak wooden bow. Oh, it just increases the attack. No loss.

I haven’t done any of the other temples yet, but a reward for completing the one in Death Mountain is good for smashing rocks at ground level. It probably could knock down trees as well, but I don’t find myself doing that too often at this point.

The map is not the same, but okay.

Fans reacting to Zelda II...

Any time someone implies that inclusion is bad, I read it as an invitation to treat them like dog shit every possible moment.

Agreed. And by “space race” you mean the thing we won over 60 years ago, right?

I’ll second Mattison. It was a sweet little quest. I’d put her quest in as a replacement for Addison, whose quests feel akin to collecting korok seeds. As much as I like to champion helping out Addison for a quick puzzle and some resources, I wouldn’t say that helping him is some great quest. I don’t know, maybe my…

He gives you 20 rupees, a cooked dish, and either a material (like a bomb flower) or a ticket to use for a bed at the stables. So far, the required supports needed for his signs aren't too complex, although I did come across one north of Tarrey Town that took a little extra trial and error.

Oh, wild. I headed toward Death Mountain from Hyrule Field and stumbled upon a cave that had a treasure tied to that quest. I’ve been to the stable near those treasure hunters, but I opted to head toward Tarrey Town instead of exploring the area in full. I think I'll visit those two next time I play.

This may not be very useful for this quest, but a neat navigation trick is that lightroots will align with shrines on the surface. So if you’re exploring a new area on either side, toggling between both layers of the map can help you find fast travel locations.
