Everyone remembers coming across this one
Zelda: Breath of the Wildpuzzlescan be a powerful shared experience. We all have thatoneshrine that we hate, and new players don’t know how good they have it with written and video walkthroughs for every single one of them. Back at launch we had towrite thoseguides and figure it all out for ourselves! Well,over on Reddit, StarJediOMG shared their experiences of “just getting the game yesterday” and coming across this beast of aBreath of the Wildpuzzle.
Myahm Agana, Katosa Aug, Ze Kasho: those names can invoke fear in some player’s hearts. But in the case of this intrepid new player, theBreath of the Wildpuzzle was no match for randomness. Like many videos the situation is so relatable, as they quit out of the control board/apparatus seemingly out of frustration or confusion — then go back to it only to find the ball is flipped into position anyway. In the end it took them “10 minutes,” which is pretty short in the grand scheme of things compared to others!
I witnessed this phenomenon happen multiple times in person with people who were playingBreath of the Wildfor the first time. They went through several emotions until they either cooled off and did it the “right” way, or just flailed about until the solution came to them. Either strategy forBreath of the Wildpuzzle shrines as a whole is acceptable.
I was lucky, as I played nearly all of these for the first time with a Pro Controller, early at launch. It cemented my decision to buy one! Other people were flipping their actual Switches around, trying to desperately see the screen while figuring out the actual motion puzzle. HopefullyBreath of the Wild 2figures out a more clever implementation of motion!
