elemnar: SHINY



I'm half tempted to stick it in my bag when I next go exploring and try and find some suitably Lost Woods-esque place to photograph it in. Or actually... I've just had an idea...

AR Link!

Turns out that an A4-sized AR card is exactly the right size to let Link to grab hold of the sword!

The 'Link-as-a-Viking' approach as applied to Breath of the Wild

Discussing Breath of the Wild combat with elemnar (almost entirely spoiler-free)...

elemnar: sounds like group battles are more common? Not like earlier games where a group of similar monsters would politely take turns. Or a group would be made up of simple monsters that didn't really fight back.
boggyb: I've very carefully not tested how smart the AI is with group battles :)
elemnar: iiinteresting
elemnar: so my typical 'Link-as-a-Viking' approach may not go down well?
boggyb: no, that would not go down well

Breath of the Wild, dungeons 2 & 3

I'm giving the initials of the dungeon names here as it appears the next few can be done in more than one order. Yay wide-open world!
