On that note, any idea if you can get Epona from it multiple times? I spawned her in but didn't register her and left her off in the wilderness somewhere and for the life of me I cant find her.

Yup. I'd originally spawned her on the plateau, so no way to get her down from there! Took a few days trying, but eventually got her again, and registered her!

Beasts done. Now back to Impa, after more wandering. Must try and get all memories before facing Ganon

When you are in areas that match your memory photo, is there an indication that they match? I think I know where one is but nothing has triggered from my wandering yet.

Just a little glow in the area at the exact spot. You wouldn't see it unless your nearby though

When you get within a few feet of the spot, a yellow glow appears on the ground. Hard to miss. Most of the memories are easy to find by lining up landmarks and finding the right height/sightline but some are tricky as they may have landmarks that are unfamiliar (the one in the West with the horse statue was tough for me as I'd never been there).

The painter that you find in Kakariko (as well as at a few stables around the place) can give you directions too. They're well written as well, real 'country directions' "walk until you see a red stone and turn North, through the archway and skirt the edge of that lake counter-clockwise", that sort of thing.

Cheers! Must not be where I think it is then. Had a good look around but got distracted by a sleeping Hinok. Stole his stuff then wondered if I could one shot kill him in his sleep. Turns out you cant :-/

I tried that with the Gerudo power and one of those big two-handed swords (normally 50 power, this one was 63). Charged up and used

Urbosa's Fury

. One big wallop and the fecker stood up like I'd called his mother a name. Had him down to less than a quarter though so I'm sure if I tweaked the circumstances a little, one-shotting a Hinox is doable.

Might try upgrading the Barbarian armour set, using a strength potion and doing using

Urbosa's Fury

during the rain. Apparently stacking Chu Jelly near an explosion can increase it so I'll try that too

Be great if you could zoom in on the memory photos. Or if the painter's clues were stored in your log.

The_B_Man

Spent about 45 mins trying to do a horse challenge in a stable down the bottom of the map.
Had the

royal

horse and all and the fecker wouldn't even jump a fence if it wasn't perfectly straight on, especially if I was going with any speed! such an annoying challenge!! Beat it in the end though.

There is a Hylian alphabet online that you can decipher the text on the photos with.

Finally cracked this open on Sunday evening, absolutely breathtaking. I only managed to play for 40 minutes before being torn away from my Wii U, so then spent a lot of yesterday daydreaming about getting to play it again last night...so much fun!

You mean Lynel?

Hellllllloooooo is it death you're looking for

Put countless hours into this game. I paraglide over from Rito village over to a ledge back on the mainland. As i land, for the very first time, i see a big fúck off grizzly bear right in front of me. Briefly shat myself before pummelling him with arrows and collecting the meat. I love this game. Just regret not getting a quick snap of the big fella with the camera first

That is Death incarnate. Came across him early on and got destroyed by him in seconds. His name is Lynel (Richie). Finally beat a couple of them this evening. One out on the plains and the other in Hyrule Castle. I think I could probably beat the game. I've still barely scratched the surface. I've got the Sword and Shield but still haven't met Impa or beat a Divine Beast, and a milllion and one other things. Explored pretty much all of the castle, got up to the Sanctum, fought what I guess is the first incarnation but then reset the game. Want to do so much more before I complete it.

Thanks, I'm just going to spam amiibo for the next few days i think?

You think the Red maned lynel is bad? Wait till you get to the Tabantha snowfield and get one shotted at 14 hearts by a ridiculously powerful one

I spent an hour dying to him the other night before i just gave up. The hitbox on his club is just too big to even sidestep effectively.

Lynel ye say? I ran towards him because I assumed he was a story character.

Who's that?

*runs waving*

Hello! HeNOTFRIENDLYNOTFRIENDLYNOTFRIENDLYNOTFRIENDLYNOTFRIENDLYNOTFRIENDLY

I actually wasn't doing too bad until I realized All my gear was broken and I'd hardly made a dent in his health bar :-/

Ah! You met him coming in the gate then?

I saw him through the gate looking like he was waiting for me. deliberately (and cleverly) looking like a character you should talk to

Genius positioning Nintendo

That's exactly what I thought. Very good psychology if they meant it

Zelda Breath of the Wild: Wii U has one BIG advantage over Nintendo Switch version

Only began exploring the Herba area in depth last night, came across the big f' off labyrinth! Thankfully got into the shrine (climbed up top, took it from there).

Star Lord

You're better off exploring the labyrinths, as there's usually pretty good weapons, and chests with 100-300 rupees in them!

safetyboy

Still not found 1 memory. so annoying.

Usually no room for more weapons anyway.

Found a few alright. I'm a wealthy Hyrulian.

Ah now Sligeach, those click bait sites.... again.... dang, I thought you had changed!

It's just that cutscenes with text move along quicker because of localised language differences.

As opposed to the subtle Switch bashing that the headline suggests.
