There’s a fairly extensive crafting system at Kara’s disposal, as almost everything in her surroundings - from grass and sticks to animal bones and hides - can be gathered and converted into rudimentary tools like shovels and hammers or enhancements to her boat in order to make sailing speedier. Survivalist strips you of most of your inventory and returns you to the beginning each time Kara perishes, and I found those high roguelike stakes made me particularly careful about which beasts to engage with and which craftable objects to prioritise as I made my way from one island to the next.

Before you begin the adventure you’re instructed that the ‘Survivalist’ difficulty setting is ‘the full Windbound experience’, and so that’s exactly what I chose to play it on.

Instead, Windbound leans hard into a survival-based grind that makes Breath of the Wild’s breakable weapons seem like little more than a minor inconvenience. While it does feature a lead character with an insatiable appetite for smashing pots, Windbound otherwise lacks the dungeons, environmental puzzles, flexible combat, or boss fights typically found in one of Link’s legendary adventures. Increased the loot drop from Tremorlurks.A gorgeous painterly aesthetic gives the impression that Windbound could be set somewhere off the coast of Hyrule, but that’s largely where comparisons with The Legend of Zelda end.Fixed an issue where Silkmaws could get stuck when spawning from nest.Players can now switch ammo via quick select whilst aiming.Updated the attack range of Pondwhompers.Canoes with sails are now more stable and less likely to topple in high winds, particularly during The Crossing.Fixed a bug where Hookmouths may not be visible to the camera before starting its ram attack.A new warning has been added when boat components get near critical damage.Players can no longer save at the start of The Crossing to prevent them accidentally getting stuck and having no previous save to reload.Canoes and hulls are crafted using the same recipe now.Fixed an issue where player projectiles could damage the mast.The radius of effect of storms have been increased, as has the wind strength.Fixed a bug where dismantling a boat didn’t refund resources for attached containers/racks etc.

Changed the action to dismantle boat parts to now require holding the button down so this can’t be done accidentally.
