There's

Spoiler

a slanted blockade just next to the goal. You want to get the ball to roll to that slanted blockade and stop it there with an ice block, then put another ice block under it so it rolls over the blockade and into the goal.

That did the trick. Thanks, man.

 

[PeterVenkman]

Gonna repost this real quick because I'm sitting at the dialogue prompt unsure

"Should I give this dude my lone korok seed to expand my inventory or is there some reason to stack acquisition of the seeds for something better?"

The first time I saw him he only let me spend two. I'd say do it, but I haven't found any other use yet.

 

[ColdPizza]

I can't find the 2 other shrines. Are they blue like the magnesis and bomb or do I need to travel to an area with red ones?

Blue means you finished those shrines. Red means you still need to do them.

 

[Astral Dog]

I'd give to him. There are tons of korok seeds. TONS. I have like 20 stockpiled for the next time I see that guy. I think that's all they are used for.

been playing 15 hours and just recently found a horse and have only two korok seeds after beating the first dungeon. this fucking game

where did you found that many?

Is there armor that can allow me to approach Death Mountain without bursting into flames?

The giant boomerang has to be the best Shrine reward so far. Man this thing packs a punch. I think I'll cry when it breaks.

How can i mine the ores without blowing them up with a bomb?

I've found maybe 7 in the first area on your way to kakariko? Usually things like

Spoiler

small magnet puzzles, or those little pinwheels? Those usually mean a short three target bow challenge.

 

[PancakeBurglar]

The hammer is what I use, I always have one in my inventory.

 

[McNum]

Hm, I need a new shield badly. Is there anywhere I can go to get a good one? Still haven't found all the villages, but it'd be nice to pick up a couple of shields since the ones I have are all blinking red.

 

[KxoZz]

Today's word... is bird. I managed to find, enter and beat the bird Divine Beast dungeon.

Spoiler

You know a dungeon is going to be special when it starts with an aerial dogfight against the entire dungeon itself, then boarding it and taking it over from the inside, culminating in a boss fight that wouldn't feel out of place in a Souls game... Amusingly, I always expected Star Fox to be the game where you would fight the entire stage as a boss. Then Zelda got there first and started the dungeon with it. Well played!

And now Link can fly from a standstill. Oh yes. That will come in handy. No more looking for a way up, just hold X. I bet this will make some shrines amusingly short, too.

Spoiler

As awesome as the dogfighting part was, the rest was kinda underwhelming for me... The boss was "shoot it until it dies"...

Oh, and you can't use the bird ability in shrines

I don't know what people are talking about with these puzzles, I only ever find these seeds under random rocks.

What are amber, opal and ancient spring used for? Should I just sell them?

 

[Firemind]

Yeah I'm picking up every small rock but only found one hiding under lol

 

[Alienous]

I don't know what people are talking about with these puzzles, I only ever find these seeds under random rocks.

Basically look for anything in the environment that is amiss and it's usually a Korok seed puzzle. So rocks in trees, an uncompleted pattern, etc.

 

[FlyinJ]

Is there a way to tell if an item is useless for anything but selling to a merchant?

A few vendors said they wanted various things. Is a ruby just vendor trash? Is there a particular vendor who would buy a ruby for more than others?

 

[PeterVenkman]

I don't know what people are talking about with these puzzles, I only ever find these seeds under random rocks.

Here I took a picture of one of them after I solved it, right on the path up to Kakariko: the little dude shows up after you solve it. before that it was just the square slabs on the wall.

 

[Kelegacy]

The Pro controller is much better, it's like one of the best controllers ever, easily worth the money imo, zero regrets buying it.

Goddamn you guys. Looks like i will be making a $70 purchase soon. Saw some at best buy.

Thanks everyone.

Aw, but I wanted to cheat at puzzles.

I guess I'll just have to live with bullet time on demand with a rapidfire bow. That may have uses. Reminds me a bit of Vanquish. Link needs a slide for that to fit, though.

Anyone find anything?

Based on what NPCs have been saying I think they're just for selling.. but I wouldn't be surprised if they have some other use..

 

[righthandmouse]

Just plugged my console into my Sony tv. I put the motionflow on smooth, and this is the best fake 60fps I ever saw. Of course there is a slight input delay, but this game seems forgiving.

[Aaronrules380]

Just played through a pretty big shrine on my way to a tower. Got a really powerful weapon there as well

 

[MisterP]

I'm only really beginning. I've completed two shrines in the Great Plateau which I found by chance. Are they marked on the map so I'm not aimlessly wandering about the place?

 

[Pastry]

Okay..i hope im right about this.

The shrines and what they teach or show is not LOCKED to the location you find them, right?

Say no matter where you find your 5th or 6th shrine the contents are preset. I just did the one that teaches you how to parry and roll...two things i didnt know were in the game...and id be fucking annoyed if the game only tells you that in this specific dungeon.

Where did you find these two shrines?

 

[KazeSim]

So you're saying I DIDN'T need to climb the mountain nearly freezing Link to death lol

.

I did find out that jumping off the cliff into the cold water does kill you. I think that when you die by the cold, the game font being blue is a nice detail.

What are korok seeds even used for? I have like 20 and nothing to do with them.

and rushed inside while on fire lol I went through my whole inventory of food. Found the armor shop and bought some flame resistant armor. The Goron shopkeeper's eyes were wide open and was like what the hell are you doing here dressed like that here. This game lol, probably not how you are supposed to handle that but it worked.

Can't you

[Dangansona]

Hopefully I'm about to go snag it from Target. Has anyone in here been crazy enough to go straight to Ganon?

 

[The Technomancer]

I found the shrine that teaches you to parry. Where do I look for the one that teaches you to roll?

 

[pelicansurf]

This game is basically dark souls if you avoid the main path. I haven't been to Kakariko yet and instead explored the beach areas and forests to the east. Everything one shots you, but you can get some great loot and access to shrines while improving your mechanical skills. It's real dope.

On the road to Kakariko is a spirit who will trade them for increased inventory space

EDIT: Maybe its random. That's where I found him

 

[13ruce]

Is there a canon name for that royal steed horse?

 

[Fledz]

Man, I cleared a camp in the evening so figured I'd use the campfire until morning. What happens? Blood Moon. Everything respawns around me. I couldn't leg it out of there quick enough.

There's a forest to the North. Go crazy.

[Vanguard771]

Yes but to get to where you can attain it you need to craft a Flame Guard elixir to survive the trip. You can do that with

I would recommend hitting Kakariko and the story quest immedietly after it as soon as possible because you get one last ability that makes some stuff significantly more manageable (with an upgrade). I just did and now I'm going to set off and fuck around before heading for any of the further objectives

 

[Jangowuzhere]

ok i think im like 15 Hours into the game and still can,t get used to the controls!!
something is very off with them :'-(

Yup, they don't feel natural at all.

10+ hours in, and I still find myself hitting buttons that I shouldn't be pressing.
