horse controls are shit (steering feels terrible but maybe that improves with the bond)
It does. Is your horse monochromatic? Those ones are harder to break. The spotted ones are supposed to be easier, but I really wanted the blue one. <3

Quote
weapon degradation and inventory (would be nice to repair weapons you like and hold a lot more of them... i do like the defradation idea but  i hate losing cool weapons)
Still crossing my fingers for some kind of reparation system.

Spoiler
You'll also be able to boost your inventory at some point.

Reparation has a very specific connotation in America so it's interesting to see that outside of its regular use.

I was also implying that you love gibs

Anyone have preferred rupee earning techniques? I've just been gathering all the apples in Hateno, cooking them, and selling. 5 apples cooked sells for 50. I'm being stingy with all my gems though.

savescumming the gambling game doesn't count.

I usually have an abundance of Bokoblin horns & teeth, and they sell a decent amount. Opals and amber are pretty valuable, too. Ever find a diamond in those ore veins? 500R apiece.

Can anyone drop a spoiler about whether we get some way to travel or climb faster later on? I met an NPC early on that hinted at getting wings at some point.

I found a cap that makes my climb speed like 10% faster, so probably.  Otherwise, you probably need elixirs.

Finished my first divine beast and had a blast. I went with Vah Medoh first, hoping there was some sort of flying related ability you pick up. These may be some of my favorite Zelda dungeons at this rate: no bullshit with fairies or other stuff, just lots of puzzles. And the boss fight was fantastic, if a bit easy.

I fought my first boss out in the overworld: a hinox. Pretty boring fight. It was like a very slow Asylum Demon from DkS. Got a shitload of gems from rocks in his cave though.
Well, I found a Hinox.

I would've beat him, too, until a fucking Lynel appeared out of nowhere to back him up.

As happy as I am to see some classic Zelda 1 enemies making their returns, I can't say I missed these motherfuckers.

Are lynels those four legged horse guys? Yeah, fuck them and their 2-3K health.

I'm picking up duplicates of (almost) all my good weapons, so I'm more comfortable with using them.

Still--repairman, where you at?

I just got that thing. For some reason, it was a bitch to get--but super worth it.

Was that a spoilery thing?
I asked a question that could only be answered with a spoiler, so I decided against it.

Fair enough. It's funny, given how open ended the game is I have trouble talking with anyone about it, as to not spoil anything.

This is the only game where I've legitimately gasped at the beauty of the world. Not just how it looks, but the extra touches. Birds chirping, wind blowing, water splashing, leaves rustling, etc. Couple that with the stunning art style and I feel like to get the best experience of this game I have to do it while paying full attention to it. Just because I want to see every detail.

Hey guys post Links?
Once I figure out how to take screenshots, sure.

This is the only game where I've legitimately gasped at the beauty of the world. Not just how it looks, but the extra touches. Birds chirping, wind blowing, water splashing, leaves rustling, etc. Couple that with the stunning art style and I feel like to get the best experience of this game I have to do it while paying full attention to it. Just because I want to see every detail.
Even I had a "gasp" moment at something last night, but it might be too spoilery? It involves something emerging from a lake--something enormous. I'll take a screenshot next time I see it.

Spoiler
I was out clearing a few shrines I had left incomplete before in a previous area. When I finished, I warped to the nearest Sheikah Tower and leapt off, paragliding the rest of the way down. The night sky caused certain small features of the land under the horizon to illuminate, giving me plenty of potential destinations--though I wasn't headed anywhere in particular; I just really like paragliding from super high up.

Until I looked to my right. In uncharted territory, I saw a lake from which emerged an immense, opalescent serpentine creature, glowing blue and yellow in the night. Instantly, I decided to glide closer, as I watched it fly slowly yet gracefully out of the water. I landed on the roof of some ruined castle wall before it completely emerged.

I decided I wanted to get even closer. I jumped down and paraglided directly towards it. Though it looked as though I was still too far away, and that I'd simply end up in the lake, the serpent finally took notice and flew directly past me. Somehow, perhaps through magic or turbulence, my paraglider suddenly began to gain altitude. Looking over, I was frighteningly close to the serpent now--its intimidating size made me rethink some life decisions.

It wasn't a friendly serpent, either. It began blasting me with slow-moving lightning balls, which were easy enough to avoid, but I took the message and left the thing alone. I landed on a small, moss-covered island surrounded concentrically by other smaller moss-covered islands.

In the morning, I gazed back up at the serpent again, who was still there, soaring quietly under the morning sun. He was headed towards what looked like a big worm hole in the sky, and after he passed through it, the worm hole dissipated.
