It’s been nearly a month since I got my grubby paws on the Nintendo Switch and Breath of the Wild. Nearly a month to savour the experience that I had anticipated almost breathlessly since the first trailer for the game dropped last year. Breath of the Wild was a game that I was prepared to […]
I was facing a choice. Did I take my time and continue to explore? Did I seek out all the memories and mysteries this vast game still held? Or did I take on the big bad? To begin with, I looked for memories. I poked around for dragons. One of my finds was a skeletal […]
We last left Link facing giant balls (ahem) that would crush him if he couldn’t find a way past. It turns out this Shrine, as with so many of them, was deceptively easy, and the combined use of magnetism and stasis allowed me to grab the metal ball and use it to bulldoze a path […]
I struggled to name this chapter. I couldn’t think of a coherent title that would fit the nature of it. In the end, I sort of kinda came up with something that vaguely makes sense. Bear with me here, as this chapter is somewhat disjointed. I’d previously taken back two Divine Beasts and claimed the […]
Chapter 6 recounted some ongoing frustrations with the lack of outright progress, but a bit of resolve and a few tense moments later, I’ve managed to make three major leaps forward. I’d just entered Ruta, the Divine Beast of the Zora. As before, you have to activate five terminals in order to unlock the final […]
At this point, I am presently somewhat stymied by a few ‘barriers’, and am currently seeking the means to overcome them in the only way I know – but I’ll explain that shortly. At the conclusion of the last chapter I’d found the Zora domain, and as I began the latest installment of my quest, I was […]
At this point, we’re starting to sink our teeth into the game – memories still linger of the earliest previews and the narrow window into Breath of the Wild we got last year – now that world has truly opened up. Be warned – this is a mammoth post! In chapter 4 we’d been set […]
Last time around I’d just headed south from the Great Plateau, having decided to do a bit of exploring. My overall direction – dictated by the landscape as much as anything else – took me south-west, but first, there was the Shrine I’d found – did I successfully complete it? Yes. Freezing time, shooting orbs […]
Previously, I’d been loitering around Hyrule Castle, which was crawling with Guardians, a decidedly risky place to hover around. I’d just been slain in a Shrine (a combat trial) and I wasn’t about to let that go. As I started playing out chapter 3, I ventured back into the Shrine. The opponent was a miniature Guardian […]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you’ll be aware that venerable games console and game producer Nintendo have launched a new gadget – the Switch, which was finally released on the 3Rd of March. I was lucky enough (thank you Mum!) to get one on launch day and now […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
