What's this from?

I think you got lucky. I tried something similar and it just got stuck. :(

I never figured that one out. I kind of cheated the physics a bit to get that ball to the other side of the first part. Then on the second part I took two carts and sort of hopscotched across the lava by moving them alternately.

It’s one of the worst games I’ve ever played. If it had been a pack-in game, people would have been demanding refunds for the system on December 26.

I got past the second one by surrounding the rails with boards, rather than putting one board in the middle. So not only did the second one not teach me the right lesson, it made the third much harder for me. 

I found a Mucktorok underground and noped right out of there.

I _hated_ this one. I knew exactly what I was supposed to do, but the physics was incredibly unforgiving because of the twists. The previous rails had taught me that you wanted two boards surrounding your track (not one in between the rails). So I figured I would do this with two that were just far enough apart to…

I did Fire Temple first and really appreciated being able to break rocks all around my cave exploring. But now I’ve done basically the entire right side of the map and barely touched the left side. It did not seem like they were pushing me that hard to go to Rito: Kakariko and Hateno seemed more urgent. Oh well.

The number of times I’ve been happy to have a dedicated button to call a horse is exactly zero, either in this or in BotW.

No idea what your comment has to do with mine. Did you intend to reply to someone else? I was reacting to this sentence. “Even if you’ve got a ton of hearts, this monster’s ice breath can knock out most if not all of your health in one attack.” In my experience that’s been true for virtually every enemy in the game.

I don’t like the Kinja ads, but the worst part on an Android is that the comments section won’t even load half the time.

There is definitely a kind of leftist that does this, usually right before they turn into a hardcore Trumpie, but nobody prominent in the Democratic party acts like this.

OK, good, at least I’m not crazy. This game feels way harder than BotW in terms of enemies, especially since I haven’t bothered upgrading clothes and just went for the temples and other sidequests.

Thanks for the hint.

I imagine this game might actually be easier if you’ve forgotten most of BotW, since I also tend to rely on abilities I remember from that game.

I know there’s something about finding musicians and bringing them to the great fairies, and I saw the musicians talking about the newspaper. So I assume it’s related to the newspaper quest in Rito which I haven’t found yet. Good to know there is at least some kind of meaningful upgrade. All the clothes and armor I’ve…

Is there any enemy in this game that _doesn’t_ take all your hearts with one hit? So far every fight I’ve had has been the same: build a bunch of super-strong weapons by fusing that can maybe defeat an enemy after twenty whacks, repeat over and over again since each enemy insta-kills me by glancing at me sideways.

I appreciate your point, but there’s a big difference between people saying “balls” to something like ChatGPT and getting a response that might be inappropriate vs. doing that in a game that parents buy for kids. Right now kids can hear sexual innuendo or racism or homophobia in games from other players online, but…

“Hey NPC, can you tell me where to find the Sword of Radiant Light?”

I’ve felt like this about so many “prestige” shows or pop culture phenomena. The only “this is such a good show” I’ve enjoyed in the past 10 years is Better Call Saul, but even that got kind of ridiculous towards the end (I hated the Lalo subplot).
