I helped a group of people in a wagon and it was comical how they reacted when going over bumps and hills, screaming and yelling out whenever the car tipped a bit. This game has done the almost impossible: It has given me a chance to play Breath of the Wild for the first time…again. ---

I love how people ask for your help and then immediately start screaming as you build things around them. I helped out some guy who fell in a hole and he freaked out because my hot air balloon was moving too fast. ---

I think in my solution, he said, “I closed my eyes so I don’t know what you did, but it worked!” 🤣 ---

I was seriously not prepared for the walking trees. Also, I still haven’t seen fit to find a stable, and now I’ve misplaced my horse. ---

🤔 I found the stable and captured a horse but I don’t see any option to get my horse from BotW. Do I need to do some transfer or something? ---

No, I think I chose “register a horse” and he said, “Oh, hey, you have some horses already registered here from before. Been a while!” Either that, or just try the “take a horse” option. It’s one of the two options. ---

I’ve found ice and fire fruits to be VERY useful attached to arrows. ---

I’ve found a huge amount of fire fruits, but no ice fruits yet. I guess I need to head where it is cold. ---

I’ve still only got 4 hearts, but I went for stamina for my first 8 shrines. I did not enjoy the horses in botw so I decided stamina would work better for the way I play. I know I don’t play “smart”, but I like the running around and discovering all sorts of things. I try to ignore things I know I’m not up to because I know I’ll get back to them later. I went back into the depths and used my bright bloom seeds everywhere. I avoided almost all monsters and picked up quite a few bomb flowers and a bunch of those mushrooms that cause confusion. I use those on arrows and it helps me with the easier monsters. I didn’t go everywhere, but I made a little progress down there. I’m not a terrific carpenter. My additions to the President Hudson signs have been terrible. I can’t believe two of them worked. This game makes me laugh. And pound my fist a little too. I am off work until Monday so I’m going to get in a lot of hours of game play. My fingers are going to be sore and I’m going to need new controllers. ---

Went up against my first boss. Was doing good until a single hit killed me. I am in need of seriously better armor. Any tips to get rupees? ---

Well, I haven’t faced a boss, but did you open up any fairy fountains? I believe the Woodland Stable one is the first one and I was able to do some minor upgrades on some minor armor to make them a bit better. How many hearts do you have? I’m at 7 hearts and two stamina slices additional. ---

> [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > Any tips to get rupees? Rupees appear to be harder to get in this game. I don’t see a ton of ore deposits out there and a lot of common ores are just not available in this game as widely. I am hearing hunting and selling meals is a good way, but I’m not sure. ---

I just reached my first dungeon of the game. I’m happy to report the dungeon maps look more like standard Zelda, none of this annoying 3D-hologram stuff. My first dungeon is: The Wind Temple - a big boat ---

The world feels so much more alive compared to BotW. I’m finding some many NPCs just wandering around. I met someone on the road who marked my map for some treasures, followed it, and found some new armor. ---

It helps that they started with a fully made map and were able to spend six years expanding it. ---

The wells are an interesting touch! I’m also pleased to see that the bokoblins haven’t dropped their habit of dancing between raging bonfires and barrels of explosive material. > [@Mahaloth](#): > > I just set one on fire and watching it run away on fire was terrific. Yes! ---

> [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > I ended up getting smashed as I was trying to find a point to ascend. Mine was probably the easiest version of one. He had the brown Bokoboblins on him and I took that as an indication he is easier. I killed all of them and then just kind of did it. I pushed ascend and slammed the A button until he ascended.
