It's part of the DLC. It's in a chest in the Lost Woods.

When you are wearing it, it will shake/make noise when you are near a korok. It's useful, but it would take forever to find every korok using it.

I have the DLC, I forget if I got the Korok mask because it's been so long lol

I’m gonna just play Pokémon Violet all day at work. Get paid for it, obviously.

hopefully getting the pokemon OLED in a few hours

It’s so weird it’s coming out two weeks before the games.

OLED acquired. Very pretty unit IMO.

The BDSP switch lite did the same I thought. I could be wrong. The SWSH switch lite and the LGPE switch I think were out before game launch too

[Beefsteak1138]

I'm at 898 korok seeds, 99.51% completion.

I have to figure out how to find the last two seeds.

[Beefsteak1138]

Found them. At 99.91% completion. There is one location I haven't discovered yet. Ugh.

this is an incredible feat. Inspiring, really.

I think im going to wait for the new one to come to start fresh but youre tempting me to dive back into this and get after it some more.

[Beefsteak1138]

Not sure it's really something to be proud of but thanks!

[BotheLaneFan]

Violet is fantastic.

Having fun with it as well. All I see online is negativity about performance. That's mostly true but the game is still a blast to play.

[Beefsteak1138]

Is it worth picking up if you've know almost nothing about Pokemon? It looks fun.

[kelchlsm]

I thought arceus game play was much better, its similar to BOTW in terms of roaming

Im still having fun with Violet though

[blumathu]

Agree that Arceus is the better game

Hit 100% today. Just had to finish one last trial in the Champions Ballad. Was not expecting another Divine beast-like area and a final boss monk who was basically Dr. Strange.

It’s a good intro to the series.

Arceus was fun, but I think this is a step forward.

unless im missing something, but is there a way to catch pokemon without engaging in battle with them in SV? i feel like it's slowing my time int eh game down so much and it's what i disliked about BDSP, it's just so slow. was faster on the DS and the game boys

[BotheLaneFan]

You can’t, but they give you so many quick balls it all evens out. You can battle a bunch of Pokémon without engaging in proper battle though.

i guess my team is just trash then, cause the game is taking me quite a long time int he wild areas to catch mon and let my mon do battling on their own

Picked up Unravel 2 for $3.99 in the Nintendo eShop (normally $20). Great game if you like side-scrolling puzzle games.

I just ordered the COWABUNGA COLLECTION, and I'm super stoked.

The Unravel series is great. Played them on Playstation, so I dont know how they run on the Switch, but that price is a steal.

Nintendo released about 10 minutes of gameplay and the map of Tears Of The Kingdom for those interested. I'm not looking at any spoilers until launch day.

I might replay BOTW though.

I liked the 10 minutes. I need to get back into BotW, even though Thunderblight Gannon is a fuck. Maybe I'll be able to beat him one day.

[Beefsteak1138]

Thunderblight is easy peazy, lemon squeezy.

[snow1868]

I hated Thunderblight so, so, so much.

[Beefsteak1138]

If you're good with magnesis, he's not that hard. Hardest of the Blights, but still not that bad. I definitely hated fighting Thunderblight at first though.

[Antiramie]

The Lynel were the hardest enemy for me in BOTW.

Can’t fucking wait for TOTK.
