Logan 08/08/2017 7:53 AM Now, I haven't actually begun the game yet--I've only bought it--but I plan to start soon, possibly sometime tomorrow. Then, these next couple of weeks, I'll be kinda busy with different events, but after that, logging should happen more often and more consistently.

E Yeah! e 2 Logan 08/08/2017 7:58 AM In the meantime, perhaps I'll lay out some goals...

• I want to explore what this game offers, and not just follow the story.

• Speaking of exploration, I want to know what stops me from exploring past the edge of the world. Endless ocean? Some unclimbable mountain? A horde of Lynels? =P

• I plan to get the DLC at some point, so I will, hopefully, check out what that has to offer.

E Yeah! e 3

Logan 08/08/2017 8:02 AM And I'm actually extremely tempted to play for the ﬁrst time on Master Mode, even though I've been warned not to. What do you guys think?

• I want to acquire the Hylian Shield and the Master Sword. No Zelda game would be complete without those two items.

That's about all I can think of so far. I'm extremely excited to begin, and I hope I can soon!

E Yeah! e 2

Logan 08/08/2017 8:09 AM Oh, and a quick side thing: Given how huge this game is, this log might not include every single little detail. However, you should see anything I deem noteworthy.

Also, if you haven't played and want to avoid spoilers, know that I probably won't mark any. But please, don't spoil the game for me. This game is about discovery and exploration, and I want to do just that.

E Yeah! e 3

ChumChu1 08/08/2017 10:17 AM ·Spoilers when you start the game, you will meet a ------(it was spoilers so i did that) you will want to get an item called the ------he will ask you to complete these things called ------after that, you get the ------he asks you to do ------village, the your journey begins!

(sorry for spoilers ._.)

CriticsBro 08/08/2017 10:53 AM ·Spoilers my log:

day one: messed up already

E Yeah! e 0 D

Christian 08/08/2017 4:28 PM Alrighty, then! I'll take you up on that.

E Yeah! e 0 D

Christian 08/08/2017 4:29 PM Also, no. Don't do Master Mode ﬁrst. Save that for a second playthrough.

E Yeah! e 0 D Ed 08/08/2017 5:33 PM DO NOT do Master Mode ﬁrst. Too different from how the game was meant to be played originally.

Some edges of the map are backed by canyons that aren't crossable (though they appear to be at a glance), others halt Link with a simple text box explaining "It's too dangerous beyond this point, turn around."

E Yeah! e 1

Logan 08/08/2017 5:37 PM Huh. Well, I was gonna ﬁnd out for myself while I played... But that's okay. I'll still go there to say I did so.

I suppose, then, that I WON'T try Master Mode... I've heard that the game is hard enough anyway. Quoting GameXplain: "Zelda 1 hard."

Speaking of which, in case you didn't see, Christian, I began part 2 of that log.

E Yeah♥ e 2

Logan 08/08/2017 7:09 PM "Open your eyes. Wake up, Link."

These are the words with which I begin this game. And so far, I gotta say, it looks great. And the voice acting seems pretty good so far too.

...Aaannd, my brother and sister are watching me and being distracting. I may have to tell them to leave. =P

E Yeah! e 2

Logan 08/08/2017 7:22 PM Wow. What a view. *Capture taken*

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this... stick. One hit on the ground: Your tree branch is badly damaged. E Yeah♥ e 2

Logan 08/08/2017 8:18 PM So I used the Sheikah Slate to activate the towers and shrines, then entered my ﬁrst shrine, hoping to soon get the paraglider from this very strange old man. Pretty simple puzzles, and I got myself the Magnesis ability and found out that I can't have the paraglider yet. Apparently now I must ﬁnd 3 more treasures from other shrines on the Plateau.

But I love the old man. Favorite character so

E Yeah! e 2

Logan 08/08/2017 8:21 PM far. Sorry, Link.

Well, I entered another shrine--the bomb one--and almost killed myself for the second time. I almost drowned on the way to the ﬁrst shrine. But bombs HURT, man!

But I am loving this game so far, and I've barely begun. The story seems interesting enough, though I've heard it's nothing too special. The controls feel nice, with everything being pretty easy to use so far. And

E Yeah! e 2

Logan 08/08/2017 8:25 PM it looks beautiful. I'm extremely excited to play more tomorrow!

Oh, and I'm sure you guys may be wondering about my ﬁrst "guardian" encounter. While the creature was immobile, I was still shown it's massive power... The easy way, fortunately. But those guys will be something to watch out for, for sure.

E Yeah! e 2

ChumChu1 08/09/2017 3:07 AM if you like the voice acting, get to zelda (its the worst voice acting ever.)

E Yeah! e 0 D

CriticsBro 08/09/2017 7:35 AM hey at least it ain't...

CDI ZELDA

E Yeah! e 0 D

Logan 08/09/2017 12:16 PM As I logged onto my Switch today and opened up this game, my mom said that we had to leave for an event soon. So, I put the console into sleep mode, undocked it, and packed it into my carry case. All in under a minute.

I love this thing.

E Yeah! e 1

Logan 08/09/2017 12:18 PM Anyway, I ran into a roadblock today: the last two shrines are in areas too cold to go into without takung damage. So, I had some fun exploring the plateau and slaying bokoblins and eventually came across some sort of food that, when cooked, allows me to resist the cold. That was fun!

E Yeah! e 2

ChumChu1 08/09/2017 12:35 PM ·Spoilers CDI Zelda is the worst! i actaually want it cause of how bad it is, CDI is not the game for human beings.... CDI Ratings: IGN 10/10 human beings: -237453/13 i really need to stop making cringey puns and get back to making little kids rage....

E Yeah! e 0 D

Sharky 08/09/2017 2:48 PM ·Spoilers If you do the recipe for the spicy meat and seafood fry, pepper, raw meat, and a hylian bass, bring it to the old man at his house, he will give you the warm doublet, which allows you to resist cold FOREVER

E Yeah! e 0 D

Logan 08/09/2017 6:08 PM Stasis rune acquired!

And soon after, I had my ﬁrst death, to a bokoblin with a ﬂaming club. Ouch!

E Yeah! e 1

CriticsBro 08/09/2017 8:35 PM ·Spoilers Mine was on my second Galamity Ganon, believe it or not.

E Yeah!? e 0 D

Sharky 08/10/2017 4:48 AM Mine was falling off of a cliff. On the plateu

E Yeah... e 0 D

Logan 08/10/2017 2:57 PM I got the Cryonis ability!

I died to a blue bokoblin...

All the Plateau shrines are complete!

And as the Old Man directed me to the Temple of Time, he slowly faded away. I hope I see him again...

E Yeah! e 2

ChumChu1 08/10/2017 2:58 PM ·Spoilers well, you will never see him again, only for a second after you beat ganon

E Yeah... e 0 D

Logan 08/10/2017 7:09 PM The old man revealed his true identity as the last king of Hyrule, and I was ﬁnally told of what happened 100 years ago. And SHEESH!! I have a HUGE task ahead of me!

But anyway, now that I have the paraglider, I can leave the Plateau. King Rhoam directed me to Kakariko village, beyond the twin peaks. So unless you guys have any advice against that, I think I'll do it.

...In a roundabout way

E Yeah! e 2

Logan 08/10/2017 7:13 PM of course. I've gotta do SOME exploring. ;)

But that bit of story was pretty interesting. Now, I know from the trailers that these four Champions still live, and I'm pretty excited to meet them. And the fact that Link stood to the very end to protect Zelda is kinda inspiring. Nintendo seems to be good at creating characters that can kinda be good role models. And I like how the old man said

E Yeah! e 1

Logan 08/10/2017 7:17 PM it would be reckless to go to the castle ﬁrst, but the observant player may notice he never said you can't.

So I'm kinda curious... If you just follow the story, around how much of the land do you traverse? Do you still see a lot? Do you recommend at all doing it? (I assume not...)

Anyway, I'm super excited to play more of this! So here we go! Goodbye, Plateau!

E Yeah! e 2

Logan 08/10/2017 7:22 PM Well, clusmy me, I fell off the edge of the plateau, by the bomb shrine. So in a quite embarassing way, my journey begins! =P

I forgot to mention how I thought the Plateau is a great starting area. It seems to introduce you to many of the necessary gameplay elements, and provides a good preview to how I think the rest of the world will be. I approve!

E Yeah... e 3

Ed 08/10/2017 8:22 PM The Divine Beasts are situated at roughly the four corners of Hyrule, so just getting to them will bring you through most of the overworld regions… Most, but not all. I don't want to spoil plot progression too much, but I'll tell you that trying to strike a balance between following the plot and exploring at your leisure is incredibly easy (natural, really).

E Yeah! e 1

Sharky 08/11/2017 5:14 AM Well if you want a ﬁrst divine beast reccomendation

E Yeah! e 0 D

Sharky 08/11/2017 5:15 AM ·Spoilers its vah ruta, its not the easiest but you get miphas grace from it so its totally worth it!

E Yeah! e 0 D

Logan 08/11/2017 2:25 PM This world is brutal! So I crossed the Bridge of Hylia and have been trying to proceed to the nearest tower. But the path is riddled with bokoblins and lizalfos ready to ambush me! And they don't mess around, either...

But I just realized, there's no rule that says I CAN'T leave the path...

E Yeah! e 2

Logan 08/11/2017 2:29 PM Gotta say, though, Lizalfos look pretty good up close. I like how I can see each and every individual scale, and I love when they quickly crawl to... well, anything, then stand up, ready for battle. Lizards are cool.

E Yeah! e 1

Logan 08/11/2017 2:47 PM *Phew!* It worked! I still died a couple of times to lizalfo archers and once to that blue once, but I made it to the tower! And taking that in the not-so- clear way was fun!

E Yeah! e 2

Logan 08/11/2017 2:53 PM Great view from up here on the tower!

So I decided to turn this "Sheikah Sensor" off for the time being, but if you guys recommend it, then I may change that.

Now... I see a shrine off in the distance. I think I'll glide there and completely ignore the task at hand. Ganon can wait.

E Yeah♥ e 2

Logan 08/11/2017 3:14 PM And I almost landed on top of a lizalfo. Fortunately, I managed to take him out before he could alert any nearby ones and quickly made my way toward the shrine. On the way, I found a stable and checked out what it had to offer. And I found Beedle, the travelling merchant! I sold him some lizal horns and bought 16 arrows. I also did some experimenting with cooking. That was kinda fun.

E Yeah! e 2

Christian 08/11/2017 6:22 PM I personally don't use the Sheikah Sensor, almost feels like cheating using it. But if there's ever a side quest where you need to give someone a lot of one resource in particular, then I'd say it's a good time to break it out, if you're so inclined.

E Yeah! e 0 D

Logan 08/11/2017 6:41 PM I thought it could only ﬁnd shrines. That's what it says, at least.

So I was GOING to the tower by the twin peaks, but I got sidetracked raiding a bokoblin camp. Then I saw another. And another. And some ruined guardians. I basically keep getting farther and farther away. So fun... The deaths don't even bother me.

E Yeah! e 0

CriticsBro 08/11/2017 8:01 PM ·Spoilers If you update it, then it ﬁnds certain objects.

E Yeah! e 0 D CriticsBro 08/11/2017 8:01 PM ·Spoilers if you update it, it ﬁnds certain objects**

E Yeah! e 0 D

Christian 08/12/2017 12:29 AM Oops, my bad, you can indeed update it later on. Didn't mean to let that slip, as I forgot it didn't always have that ability.

E Yeah! e 0 D

Logan 08/12/2017 1:43 PM A blood moon! I was scaling the twin peaks, then this dark fog appeared and the sky turned red. The voice from the castle (Zelda?) told me that Ganon's power heightens during this time and dead monsters once again roam the world. Cool! And scary...

E Yeah!? e 1

Logan 08/12/2017 2:07 PM Wow. That was well worth the climb. I found a shrine up there! =P

But seriously, that view was beautiful. Looking out over the vast ﬁelds of Hyrule was just awesome. I may even just disregard my quest for now and go where the wind takes me--literally.

E Yeah! e 2

Logan 08/12/2017 5:25 PM After completing the twin memory shrines, I returned to the Plateau to cash in my spirit orbs. Afterward, I raided this bokoblin camp inside of a skull rock. Two lanterns hung in the skull's eyes, and I tried messing around with them using magnesis. Turns out, they shattered upon hitting the ceiling, dropping ﬁre onto the ground below. Well apparently, the bokoblins decided to store ALL of their

E Yeah! e 1 Logan 08/12/2017 5:27 PM explosives inside this rock. BOOM!!! That made me smile.

E Yeah! e 1

Logan 08/13/2017 9:05 AM I glided off the twin peaks to some random destination. Ganon has waited 100 years, I think he can wait a while longer.

But I'm nearing the castle and trying to reach a tower, and I caught a glimpse of a guardian... *gulp*

E Yeah♥ e 1

Sharky 08/13/2017 9:17 AM ·Spoilers That was a bad idea....There are three guardians surrounding that thing ready to shoot you while you are climbing....

E Yeah... e 0 D

CriticsBro 08/13/2017 3:09 PM ·Spoilers Just chillin' on the roof of my house. :-)

E Yeah! e 0 D

Logan 08/16/2017 12:07 PM After a few exhausting days of cross country camp, I return to my adventures in the wild. And I'm torn between checking out that ﬂying machine in the distance and going to Impa. I think I'll go to the bird, though...

And guys, I have carefully and warily read the spoilers... and almost nothing was spoiled! So let me narrow it down a bit: I don't want to know locations or story. That's about it

E Yeah! e 1

Logan 08/16/2017 12:09 PM but if you consider something to be spoiler-worthy, then you can mark it.

E Yeah! e 1

Sharky 08/16/2017 12:26 PM and Logan if we try to give you tips then Miiverse admins will contacts us and make it spoilers. Or atleast thats what it did to me.

E Yeah! e 0 D

Logan 08/16/2017 12:27 PM I just found a sleeping moblin and stole his weapon. Then, I was given the option to do a sneakstrike. So naturally, I tried it. Let's just say that if that moblin was a guy... He'd be hurting. Badly.

E Yeah♥ e 1

Logan 08/16/2017 12:35 PM Oh, ok.

So I found a Great Flameblade. This should be fun!

E Yeah! e 1

Sharky 08/16/2017 1:14 PM ·Spoilers Ye, you should burn wood laying around to make campﬁres

E Yeah! e 0 D Logan 08/16/2017 2:46 PM Umm... so I found this dark gooey stuff (it hurts), near a building. So of course I needed to check out the building. Inside... a Lynel.

E Yeah!? e 1

Logan 08/16/2017 2:58 PM OUCH!!! Lynels are TOUGH!! So he had this upward shot thing, and it just kills me! I even hid under a ceiling! I call cheats...

E Yeah!? e 2

Ed 08/16/2017 5:36 PM If you want to experience the plot "right," then I'd go to Impa before the ﬂying bird. It's possible to do so much as all the dungeons before heading to Impa, but of course it messes up the narrative...

The bird is farther away than it looks, anyway. Much farther. ;)

E Yeah! e 2

Elzonire 08/17/2017 12:40 AM Notiﬁcations! I'm still early in the game, so I'll read sparingly, but why not

eggman 08/17/2017 3:11 AM i ﬁnally beat all the shiekah towers! yaaaay!

E Yeah! e 0 D

Link 08/17/2017 9:06 AM If you need help (Or simply a tip), ask me. I beat the game.

E Yeah! e 0 D

Logan 08/17/2017 10:23 AM I think I'll take this one on my own, but thanks for the offer!

So I decided to leave the Lynel and the lands beyond alone and return to my quest: seeking out Impa. I found Kakariko Village, but I think I'll complete the nearby shrine ﬁrst...

E Yeah! e 1

Logan 08/17/2017 1:10 PM Bought a pretty sweet Hylian putﬁt in Kakariko, and learned from a pumpkin farmer about some "Yiga Clan," or those who have sworn allegiance to Ganon. And as I make my way around the village, I wonder, "are these people human? Will I ever meet them?" We shall see...

E Yeah! e 1 Logan 08/17/2017 2:09 PM From Impa I learned a slightly elaborated version of what happened, and learned of my task: the four Divine Beasts of Hyrule must be freed in order to aid me in the ﬁght against Ganon. But ﬁrst, my memory must be restored.

E Yeah! e 0

Logan 08/17/2017 2:16 PM I do believe I have found a miniboss! I was on my way to Hateno Village and I saw a sleeping creature. I think this one is Hinox...? Let's see how this goes.

E Yeah! e 0

Logan 08/17/2017 2:57 PM Umm... so I'm at Hateno Village and I found this demon statue. And he stole a heart from me! I've gotta get that back!!

E Yeah!? e 0

Logan 08/17/2017 4:56 PM Well, my Sheikah Slate was upgraded and I can now take pictures and there are some strange locations already on there, presumably taken by Zelda. I can also now upgrade a few abilities, which I plan to do ASAP. But ﬁrst... I have to return to Impa. Thank goodness for shrine travel!

E Yeah! e 1

eggman 08/18/2017 2:49 AM when i went to hateno village i didn't see any statue!where is it?

E Yeah... e 0 D

Sharky 08/18/2017 5:33 AM ·Spoilers Logan, you will definetly run in with the yiga clan. You can find them wandering around hyrule, disguised as a friendly person, if their name is traveler you know its a trick, there is one on the road to hateno, that one wrecked me. Just dont talk to anyone suspicous unless you are either ready to run or ready to fight.

E Yeah! e 0 D

Sharky 08/18/2017 5:57 AM ·Spoilers I managed to get this goos pic of one, in master mode. It was hard because it is fast. If you have ﬁve or six hearts like me and you run into a yiga footsoilder: 1. Panic 2. Run

Ed 08/18/2017 7:04 AM ^ DO NOT open his spoilers.

No offense, Sharky. But that really is pretty spoiler-y.

E Yeah! e 0

Logan 08/18/2017 11:24 AM I opened them before I saw your comment, Ed, but as soon as I realized the topic, I looked away. So I recovered my ﬁrst memory. Link and Zelda walked along the edge of a pond as Zelda spoke of Daruk's success with his Divine Beast. Then, she stopped an asked Link of his skill with a sword. I think she worried about the events inevitable to come.

E Yeah! e 0

Logan 08/18/2017 11:29 AM And now I decide to begin my task: freeing these Divine Beasts. I think I will begin with the one near Kakariko, as I have also marked a few nearby shrines. Also, I think the next closest one is the Gerudo, which I've heard bad things about...

E Yeah! e 0

Logan 08/18/2017 12:27 PM Umm... so I'm on the Plateau right now, and I see a DRAGON swimming through the sky. I think this deserves investigation.

E Yeah!? e 1

Sharky 08/18/2017 1:50 PM ·Spoilers If its green than its farosh, mythical dragon of thunder, shoot it with an arrow to get farosh's scale.

E Yeah! e 0 D

Sharky 08/18/2017 1:53 PM ·Spoilers Oh, and go for the elephant! You will see why once you free it!

E Yeah! e 0 D

Logan 08/18/2017 3:30 PM I lost it... drat. On the bright side, I've foubd a couple of Zora people that will hopefully lead me to this Divine Beast. After I help their prince, of course.

E Yeah! e 1 Elian 08/18/2017 4:25 PM Only one thing: Maybe you'll want to get 13 hearts.

E Yeah♥ e 0 D

Logan 08/18/2017 7:17 PM I just met Prince Sidon of the Zora. He seems slightly on the arrogant side-- very prince-ey--but he's cool. I'll help him. I've heard that the Zora story is fantastic, so I'm excited to see what happens!

E Yeah! e 1

Logan 08/18/2017 7:46 PM I almost got struck by lightning. Because I'm smart and I like holding on to metal objects during thunderstorms.

I'm halfway there! "There's lots of enemies ahead, but you can handle it!" - Prince Sidon I can take this on my own, thanks dor asking.

E Yeah♥ e 2

Sharky 08/19/2017 6:18 AM ·Spoilers Female Zora: *Looks at prince sidon* ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

E Yeah! e 0 D

Logan 08/19/2017 8:38 AM Ha! Just found that one out, Sharky! I, personally, don't really see how. But then again, I'm a male not-Zora.

I spoke with the king and learned of the Divine Beast Vah Ruta, a giant... elephant. I suppose that explains the rain. But there seems to be a lot of distrust revolving around me. Apparently I caused the death of the champion Mipha. But the leaders trust me, and that's what matters.

E Yeah! e 1 Logan 08/19/2017 8:40 AM I was given the Zora armor, allowing me to swim faster and even travel up waterfalls! Unfortunately, I must use this thing to *gulp* reach a Lynel... Is there any OTHER way to get shock arrows?

On the bright side, this electric wand I have may be of some use...

E Yeah! e 1

Logan 08/19/2017 8:41 AM Oh, and I found out that Mipha had feelings for me. Sorry, but I'm kinda taken...

E Yeah♥ e 1

Sharky 08/19/2017 8:41 AM ·Spoilers Dude, just be lucky you DONT have to kill it.

R 08/19/2017 12:58 PM ·Spoilers i had to kill lynel

E Yeah... e 0 D

Logan 08/19/2017 2:01 PM That Lynel moment was tense! But fun! I managed to grab the shock arrows lying around and get out. ...After a few deaths...

I then met up with Sidon and the two of us teamed up to take down the elephant. And I LOVED that. Awesome little ﬁght. And with the disabled Beast rose out of the water, I took my chance to inﬁltrate it.

E Yeah! e 1

Logan 08/19/2017 2:05 PM So far, Ruta is actually kind of tough. There's very little combat, but two of the five controller things are evading me. I could not find or figure out how to reach them. Then I took a Splatoon break and my family went out to celebrate my brother's birthday. But I'll hopefully get back to figure it out soon.

E Yeah... e 0

Sharky 08/19/2017 2:12 PM ·Spoilers Once you get the map of vah ruta, you can control its trunk, its a pretty neat thing if you ask me.

E Yeah! e 0 D

Logan 08/19/2017 6:59 PM I'm gonna put up another post to continue my playthrough and talk about the touching bit of story I just experienced. See you there!
