So any good stories you have to share. The beauty of this game is that you carve out your own path, no ones adventure will be the same. I went east found the major towns, got some great upgrades and made it to the beach at the edge of the world. From there I took a raft to an island far off in the distance cause I wonder what delights an island like that could hold. What I got when I landed blew me away, it's pure gameplay genius which takes everything you learned so far and tests you in a fun way.

I don't want to spoil this if you haven't been so don't read further, but I have to share the crazy stuff I did to stay alive.

ISLAND SPOILERS

So they steal all your gear and you have to find three orbs guarded by enemies, one a giant. So the first time I was killed by this octorok that hid as a treasure chest, very dark souls. Next time I was prepared and gathered resources one by one. I wanted to stay back and avoid confrontation so I got octorok balloons, attached them to a bomb, used my leaf to blow the floating bomb toward the enemy camp and detonate it killing a few. I was able to grab a weapon and finish the rest.

Next I climbed the mountain where a bunch of enemies were in ruins and I was able to sneak into a chest and get a good bow. Now there is a blue moblin who is too strong and could kill me in a hit, lucky for me a thunderstorm started and I had metal swords. So I dropped it, used the magnet to float it next to enemies and have lightning fry then. I dropped the sword near the moblin who picked it up and countintued to get struck while I killed him with arrows. Now I have much better weapons and a place to cook.

I made some buff potions, got my hearts buffed to 9. Got defense up and went to take on the giant. I was doing great till one hit took all my extra hearts away and I was back to four which would be an instant kill if I get hit. So I changed tactics and ran into the jungle, it grabbed a tree, in out of arrows, but I have some red chi jelly which explodes into fire if struck. So I drop some jelly and a bomb, run away and when the giant walked over it I blew up the bomb, the fire engulfed the tree which stunned the giant and I was able to run under it and attack and kill him.

Later I found there was another hill with loads of dynamite and boulders I could have simply launched at the giant. The amount of ways to solve any situation is so breathtaking.

So that's my story of the island, I'm sure you will have a totally different one.

I really can't explain how much I'm enjoying this.  This game really hits the spot and it's something I haven't experienced in gaming in many years.

I snuck into hyrule castle, holy shit, it looks like what j want from the game.

It's perfect.  I left because I want to finish the other dungeons first, but it was hard to leave.

Wow. There seriously has to be an easier way to beat that boss in the Divine Beast Vah Naboris because I had an incredibly annoying time fighting him, just near the end mind you.

can't see. What's happening?

Someone cut down a tree log right over a cliff, put stasis on it, banged on it a few times with a sledgehammer then jumped on top for a wild ride.

Went to zoras domain that was epic. Beat lynel, I had a couple of powerful clubs so he wasn't too difficult. The battle to get into ruta was epic. I want to use those kind of superpowers in an action game. Now I'm stuck in ruta, there is this fucking chest sandwiched between two stone blocks. Even using stasis I cant move them or if I do they just fall back down too fast to open the chest. Help?

Look at your map. 😉

You put stasis on one stone when it has moved then go to the chest. You may have to go to the bottom of the wheel.  I can't exactly remember.

Plus you can sell the foods you cook for rupees.
