Zelda: Breath Of The Wild’s First Major Trend is #ShirtlessLink

“A bumper week for gaming is led by “Horizon Zero Dawn” which tops the chart as Sony’s biggest ever PS4 launch of a new IP (ahead of No Man’s Sky)”. Before collecting the spirit orb and completing the shrine, players will want to collect the treasure chest that is in plain view.

Right from the start, the civilians that you meet as you journey through Hyrule in Breath of the Wild are constantly telling you about cooking and creating concoctions with the ingredients you find around the world.

Think of these as a jumping off point. While past entries have featured puzzles, dungeons, and exploration, Breath of the Wild amps all of these elements up, often eschewing giving gamers any help or sense of direction while doing so. To make yourself your own personal campfire, drop wood on the ground and then drop flint on top of it. Hit the pair with a metal weapon such as a sword and the flint will spark and set the wood alight. As you will see, each time you climb, you will lose part of your stamina. However, it also gives you the option of not equipping anything at all.

In Korok Forest you will also find a place where Link can trade his Korok Seeds and the village is also located in this forest where Link will find the Master Sword.

Use Hearty Radish (or Big Hearty Radish) with Hyrule Herb, Mushroom and just a bit of meat to get this recipie. You don’t feel lost at any stage as you know, quite simply, that Ganon needs to be defeated. Players can gather a lot of experience with the enemies surrounding the cliff, so be sure to eliminate these first. Head southwest through the two trees and the left tree will have a branch that looks like a claw pointing down. They don’t even know that there are different ways through which you can cook. The basics first: Breath of the Wild targets a native 900p presentation while in docked mode, while using the device in portable mode gives you a 720p native image.

Also: do not, under any circumstances, take out your bomb arrows in these locations.

Independent 10/10: “That’s just the half of what Breath of the Wild has to offer”. After successfully selecting them, drop them in the pot and something will pop up.

In other words: buy them from every vendor, every time. AS you reach this torch, you will spot no more torches around.

A small spoiler warning before we get into details: Most of Polygon’s staff (including the author of this piece) have not finished Breath of the Wild.

The Guardian – 5/5: “But the shrine is a fast travel point, offering you the ability to divert from the trek and easily resume it at a later date”. You’ll see them from a fair distance away, so add them as custom waypoints to you map when you’re close and activate them whenever you can. Breath of the Wild doesn’t even make it easy for gamers to find Epona, and the result is that accomplishing something within Breath of the Wild nearly always feels rewarding.
