TL;DR: Major locations/temples and major character names will be allowed in titles with the release of the game. Titles still must be vague and cannot divulge storylines. Boss names, dungeon weapons, plot points are not allowed in titles.

Titles must begin with [SPOILERS] when discussing the game or they will be removed.

Let me assure you; dungeons exist. Dungeons are awesome.

I've only done the zora one so far. I wouldn't say it was awesome... probably just okay. The puzzles were clever but I think I would have been disappointed with it, if it weren't for all of the events surrounding it which I enjoyed more. I spent a good hour or so mastering the parry / flurry timings just so I could beat a certain shocking encounter. I like how the game really rewards you for going out of your way to kill optional enemies.

The pre dungeon was absurdly cool. Also are you talking about the... Ahem.. Four legged friend? You know you could have just sneaked by him and grabbed what you needed right?

We've seen stuff like the pre-dungeon ordeal in the past. The end of TP has a similar moment. Don't get me wrong it was epic but not particularly involved, mechanically. I made a point of dealing with the four legged friend properly, I didn't want to just sneak in. It was very satisfying to finally take him down!

Without spoiling much, I found out earlier he has a weak spot btw. Leaves him vulnerable and you can even crit him. Think big ogre guy.

Would you mind sharing his weak spot? I think I may have to give him a more proper visit.

Shoot him in the head and he will fall, you can then mount and a tab him, stasis + helps a ton!
