What's the experience of those playing it, how much does it affect the experience? And which console are you playing it on? I play it on the Switch and it happens occasionally for me - only in TV mode. So far it's only happened a few times when I'm in a grassy area with lots of enemies. IMO, it doesn't affect the experience whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcarr21 Posted 12 March 2017 Share Posted 12 March 2017 I've had no frame rate issues at all. Not that I've noticed anyway. pds - no reason why a 6 year old can't play it. Problem is it is bloody hard. I would assume he would get killed constantly and grow bored of it. ive decided to go round the whole map going for the towers and finding some shrines along the way. Tried to go to death mountain and I'm still getting battered so want to get more heart containers. Managed to find 2 great fairies and I've also just stumbled upon THE MASTER SWORD. Anybody else found it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyfox Posted 12 March 2017 Share Posted 12 March 2017 I do love this game, but I am still struggling with the controls! Especially inventory management - seems a bit cumbersome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son has been asking about getting it after seeing youtube videos of it. Depends on how video game proficient they are. My 7 year old daughter is currently loving playing it... but I have to do all the combat, partly because she gets too stressed also she's not good enough to control it (not much experience with 3rd person fighting, though she's a whizz at Splatoon). She absolutely LOVES the adventuring, hunting, collecting, cooking, parasailing, horse taming and non-combat (puzzle) shrines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 12 March 2017 Share Posted 12 March 2017 Just looking at this last night, insanely expensive on Amazon. If I want the console, Zelda and a pro controller I'm looking at over 400 combined. Is that pretty standard pricing everywhere? If so, it's probably going to have to wait, that's disgusting. Was a massive fan of Zelda in the n64 era, I've been pining for Ocarina of Time a bit lately and the this is the first new Zelda that looks like it lives up to that in years but fk me.

Yeah, it's super expensive. Each to their own and all that, but I reckon you could do without the pro controller. It's really comfortable playing it with one Joy-Con in each hand. And you can possibly find the console second-hand once the launch hype has died down a bit. I expect some will be looking to sell once they've beaten BOTW.

Phube Posted 12 March 2017 Share Posted 12 March 2017 I'd say the pro is definitely the way to go... so much more comfortable (especially if you're used to the Xbox controller). Of course it's expensive, how much would it have cost for an XBoxOne, GTA V and another controller at launch? Simillarly PS4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or £60 for a controller. There's brand loyalty and then there's just silly. It IS very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 12 March 2017 Share Posted 12 March 2017 It's too expensive to warrant a purchase at the moment for sure. There's too many decent titles on PS4 right this minute at less cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phube Posted 12 March 2017 Share Posted 12 March 2017 Wait a mo' the rrp is £59.99, any more is just scalping. (And yes and game over £45 is too expensive!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're paying for a superior system with more than 1 game if you're paying that money for a Playstation or an X-Box though. Nintendo must be pissing themselves at how many people bought these at launch considering what they've gave them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently starting the quests for the Rito which will be my 2nd dungeon. Right now my focus is getting the Master Sword. I put a fair few hours in over the weekend. I'm just running around unlocking the map. I have also found 3 great fairies. Really starting to get to grips with the controls as at first i thought the fighting wasn't as slick as previous Zelda games. Really enjoyed some of the puzzles in the shrines. The runes add a nice variety to the type of puzzle you can find. also have you seen any dragons flying around. I've found 2 but don't know what they do. Dont fancy like fighting one haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyfox Posted 13 March 2017 Share Posted 13 March 2017 I keep mixing up the controls for sword/shield/throw. I started a new game (seperate from my son's) and managed to accidentally hurl my woodcutters axe from the top of the first tower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've seen the dragons but I've no idea what they do. Maybe it's the same dragon? Could be one of the divine beasts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its definitely 2 dragons. I've seen a green one and a red one. They are similar in appearance to Volvagia in Ocarina of Time. The Green One appears over the bridge south of the great Plateau if you want to investigate. They fly up into what looks like a portal and disappear. Obviously some sort of side quest. I wont tell you where The Master Sword is. You will get an idea once you keep unlocking the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcarr21 Posted 14 March 2017 Share Posted 14 March 2017 My daughter (10 years old) had her first go on this last night. She's not a massive gamer but she does enjoy watching me on a game if its a good story. She loved playing this. Running around smacking the s*** out of Bokoblins. She is one of those players who cant get to grips with moving the camera at the same time as moving the character though so frustrating. I keep telling her to play more often so she gets to grips with the controls. I then had a go once she went bed. I know i am so close to getting the Master Sword. I just want it as surely it doesn't break, Does it? Ready to progress the Rito story line but my daughter wants to watch me so i was stuck doing more exploring last night. I have 2 more towers to get to before the whole map is unlocked. I saw the red dragon again last night. Still no idea what it does or if it is hostile. I actually rode my first horse last night. I've not bothered with them but thought i would try them out. Also had some fun with a raft and the Octo Balloons Just want to blast this game every night. Doubt i will play tonight though with a certain football match taking place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent the most of yesterday unlocking parts of the map and visiting loads of shrines. Some of the shrine puzzles are so good! Also, I kept saying to myself "Right, I'll just go over there and then save it." Then "Ooooh what's that over there!". I'd say this process continued for an hour or two and I ended up in Gerudo Desert Such a cool place btw! Think I'll sneak a few hours in before the Champions League tonight.
