Speaking of horses, I just scanned Smash Bros. Link amiibo and Epona spawned in my game.

I hate that the fact you need the link smash bros amiibo to access epona.

So... I went to EB Games today to pick up BOTW Wii-U, and they don't have any left...

They are sold out on-line and most stores that show stock only got 1 or 2 copies since the original shipment and may not be getting anymore...

Amazon.ca is also sold out, walmart.ca doesn't have an entry for it on their website, BestBuy.ca is sold out - as are local stores.  The only place I have been able to find a copy is at theSource (formerly Radio Shack), but their online inventory system has been wrong before...

This is reminding me of the time they released Twilight Princess on Gamecube...

Amazon says it will be back in stock on April 4th.

Amazon.ca has " will ship in 1-2 months. "

Found it at TRU.  Just picked it up.

Nintendo must have shipped all their Wii U copies to Toys R Us and Best Buy.  Both stores near me had 20+ copies in their display case last weekend when I was out looking for that Hori Switch stand.

I am now 20ish hours in and I am finally about to see my first dungeon.  It's crazy how long that takes.

I think they really don't like the 20% discount on new games.

I figured Amazkn what just eating the loss for the 20% discount. So Nintendo wouldn't really care it more units sold that won't be sent back. Unless you mean other retailers disliking the 20% off new Amazon does. That wouldn't probabbaly make more sense now that I think about t.

Best Buy has a similar discount for their games

2 Divine beasts taken care of...
A harem of sexy sexy horses
A small stock of ancient arrows
Plenty of food for rain/shine/sleet/speed/stam/whatever
A good stock of hearts and a wheel and a half of stam


And I still feel like there is so much i have yet to do...

f*ck this game is great.

[lukester]

I haven't played a game this good in a while! Last was probably Bloodborne

I've done 3 of the Divine Beasts and all the towers except one.

I've done about 30 shrines, and found two overworld bosses.

Unfortunately the story is pretty meh and the Divine Beasts are okay. But the rest is fantastic.

I'm a big fan of the cooking mechanic, so much better than regular crafting. The stamp/pin feature is also innovative.

The towers are cool. Unlike assassins creed I actually have to search points of interest off of the tower.

I've tried that earlier it does indeed work,long as you're timing is perfect.

I can see people not wanting to start adventuring thru this game because of how much time you need to sink into it, but really it's one of the greatest games I've seen in ages.  (and be seen, I mean that I've been watching rather than playing)

I picked up a Wii U copy as a Birthday gift for a friend of mine. Best Buy did indeed have a few of them.

I began playing it the other day. Looks pretty massive. I don't see myself investing 30+ hours in to it anytime soon.

[crazydean]

Is this game like monster hunter?

[TDIRunner]

About 23 hours into it and I feel I've only scratched the surface.  There is still a massive portion of the map I haven't even visited yet.  I absolutely love the exploration aspect of it.  I hate cooking in real life, but I actually enjoy it in game.  I enjoy trying out different combinations, but I refuse to use any guides yet.  I don't mind the fact that weapons break, but I wish they lasted a little longer.  I've tamed two horses, but I find that I really don't want to ride them when I'm exploring.  I'm upgrading my heart twice for each increase in stamina because I've ran into very few places that I couldn't climb up to. 

Spoiler (sort of):
Check out the island at the south east corner of the map.  There is a really fun trial that awaits you on the island.  It took me two nights to finish it, but it was really fun. 

Another spoiler:
My best advice is to upgrade your bombs as soon as you can.  The faster regeneration makes a lot of difference.
