If you want a fun multiplayer experience, check out Snipperclips as well. Fantastic game!
The game pretty much "starts" when you leave the Great Plateau. I think you get as much story as in other Zelda games, but it's basically your decision how you'll approach the game. It's a game about exploration.

This sounds like crazy talk, but I had actually forgotten how a game can feel truly special. Playing this now, I remember what truly exceptional games feel like. It reminds me of playing Metroid Prime - that sense of discovery and awe, the super tight controls, the completely rounded gameplay experience of puzzles, exploration, combat.
Holy fuck this game....going into central Hyrule looking to recover a memory. See a giant bird mech in the sky and was getting ready to take a screenshot of it. Got one-shot by a Guardian instead. Spend the next 30 minutes stealing around open fields and ruins to get around them so I can reach the Central Tower. Find more stationary guardians around the tower. Dodge lasers while climbing all the way out. WHEW. Wow.
Btw, the memory cutscenes are depressing as fuck. Wtf?!

I see where you're coming from but I think it would be hard to pull off with how freeform everything is. People would likely just strafe climb a giant cliff and pump stamina without actually doing anything which would be really dull.
First time I tamed a horse we were hooning around in the mountains and accidentally careened off the edge. I managed to grab onto the cliff wall and climb back up (needing a snack on the way to stop myself plummeting to my death.) My horse was not so lucky. Grim business. I only travel on foot now. 😞
Can you actually climb Central Tower without being able to kill the guardians?
I did exactly this today. Scrambling to the top of the central tower under fire felt quite rewarding.
Oh dear... "Nobody saw that"

The game overall feels very bittersweet. Its a dangerous world and the game doesnt let you forget it.

Holy moly this game is fantastic! I played so much that I barely visited the internet or Gaf. Thats something what dont happen often.
The are around Hateno is amazing. So many beautiful vistas, a lot to do and the village itself is one of the most calming places I ever visited in a game.
Is it the biggest village of the game or are there even bigger towns?

I appreciate the horses having concern for their own safety, but man is it a hassle to get them down a steep incline. I'm having to turn them around so their back if facing it and try to make them slip.
So many times I've just hopped of and left my horse standing on a mountain, looking stupid.

What's the correct way to solve that ball and maze shrine near Hateno? I beat it, but I'm pretty sure I just cheated the physics.
Gaf, does anyone knows if the expansion pass is cross-buy from WiiU - Switch? Or that's too much to ask coming from Nintendo?
Since WiiU is basically dead after this masterpiece, I'm slowly considering the expansion for when I get my Switch due to the fact that the WiiU is no longer going to be used after this.

Just linked to my twitter account.
And now I'm out of the great plateau!.

Yes? You just need to manage your placement and stamina well, and know which direction to climb to bait the lasers into getting blocked by cover. It feels AWESOME.
Then the descend down is even better. I thought I could just paraglide to safety, but the lasers were tracking me, so I jumped off the glide and reglided right before I hit the ground. One laser tracked me almost all the way, fired into the distance just missing me, setting a bunch of grass and a fox on fire and I ran for dear life into the forest as the burning fox ran in another direction.
Game of the Forever?
Oh please. Witcher 3 (my GOTY 2015) had framerate problems, lot's of bugs, freezes and it took months and many patches and still those problems didn't matter in the long run. The game still got lot's and lot''s of great review scores and GOTY awards.
Luck. That puzzle was a pain in the ass for me because, surprise, motion controls are unfun and trash. I knew you had to use the maze exit to flick the ball onto the ramp but executing it properly was hugely annoying.

What are the other material requirements for dying your clothes white? Tried doing it but the only thing possible was the silent princess flowers.

Simple question :
On your way to meet the

How do I get the ball out of Impa's house and onto that Shrine near the Kakariko Great Fairy? Stasis and Magnesis don't work.

Must say
Anyone else have this issue of was I just having a moment?
the toto sah shrine wasn't half frustrating with the motion controls. Got the last bit lined up in the end but ended up detaching the joycons to do it.
I paraglided in
First tower I climbed after the plateau. Just gotta be fast and smart.

You answered your own question
What?
it's two buildings and a throne room...
Not to mention that it does serve a purpose. I find that it keeps me in the game more. I am not just some self-styled entity divorced from the game world. I am part of it and subject to its rules. I have to constantly change up my approach based on what the game world presents me.
That said, it was my first upgrade
The game is fucking amazing. Got to my first dungeon yesterday and I got stuck. I cant remember the last Zelda I played where I got stuck this often. The puzzles are not easy to solve at all. They really went all out on this one. The design is brilliant because if you cant solve one shrine or dungeon you can freely move to other more easy ones.
Anyone did the twin peek shrines? That puzzle was fantastic.

Sigh, need to go back to the old mans house but can't remember the location.
Near the northern shrine in the great plateau.
It's interesting because I recognise yeah, if you think about game worlds as collections of... I don't know, little setpieces or whatever, the game world is kind of bland. And yet there's something really to it where I feel, like, the same sensation I would actually get in real life if I hiked over a hill and saw a vast plain or a huge forest laid out before me. They've captured a sense of place in a way that doesn't feel overly videogamey. Maybe it's because I never get the feeling like in other open world games of invisible walls just due to the climbing and gliding mechanics.

Thanks!
You seem to be bringing a lot of unnecessary baggage and preconceptions into these questions. You've got a Switch so I'd say just give it a try on your own file. The game is made for everybody, really. It's not simple nor basic, there's a lot going on, and it's not only appealing to the Nintendo Faithful. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

The way this game does open world stuff is amazing but it also gives me mild anxiety. It's fun to discover things on your own but I hate the thought of missing cool stuff! Hopefully I just get over that feeling.

Yeah I'm not terribly fond of those type of puzzles either. It reminds me of Vita launch where every game was shoehorning these type of mini games in lol

was the first thing I did after leaving the plateau lol. if you time your jumps right you can hide from them on the platforms on the way up.

Enemies that shoot shock arrows are the worst. Also, a quicker way to cook lots of food at once would be great, as would a cook book of some sort to save recipes.
climb up somewhere (even hanging on to the side of a cliff), jump off and glide

I haven't felt this way about a game in years, i've been playing non-stop.
I'm about 30 hours in and i still feel like i've barely scraped the surface.
There is so much more map left, my god.
