The weapon is not exploding. You are attracting the lightning and then being fatally struck. The pulsing is there to warn you that you are attracting the electric charge.

Yeah, I didn't die, just rolled down a hill I had started to climb before it started raining.

Ok, got you.

I meant the specific areas, or at least some hints
In order, as far as I know... rough directions
1.
Kakariko Village
West of the central hyrule area there's a canyon with a bridge over it and a stable nearby
Akala, Northeast of the tower to the east of the pillar with the bridge
Gerudo Desert, Dragon Bones in SW
Lake of the Horse God, very south middle of the map (This is a special horse type fairy, not worth it imo)

Is there anything along the lines of bounty hunts in this game? I just want to beat monsters up and get paid for it right now!

This is actually how it works in real life. If you are about to get struck by lightning you have a few seconds to notice a tingling sensation occurring around you before the bolt hits.

I have found one. I was told to kill the bokoblins that were stealing a farmer's sheep.

I wasn't paying attention to the icons shape. I thought it was just a square bomb lol. Didn't think beyond that.
man really? They are a cheap way to blow things up like mineral deposits and boxes you don't want to waste sword swings on. I also found they can stun.

I've found a share of destructible walls and for use in other shrines. Have also used in combat a few times.

It makes deforestation more fun
For the same reason they exist in other Zelda games. They work as an extra combat tool, blow up cracked rocks, and do some context sensitive actions.
They're pretty good for crowd control and situational use in battle, besides mining minerals and taking down trees without wasting your weapon's durability.
Bombs are more helpful than they've ever been. You can use them to open crates/boxes, blow up ores, distraction/damage in battle, etc. All with no supply issue.
And trees. Blow up all the trees.
yeah that was really cute, its like a 24/7
take your kid to work day
If you're good with your arrows and get better with dodging, fights get way easier. Try and take advantage of the environment as much as you can. If it's rainy, use shock arrows (you can use magnesis on enemies who are shocked) if you're in long grass use fire, the flames will also give you the opportunity to glide into the air so you can get a slow motion critical hit.
Don't jump headfirst all the time.
But yeah, you should get good with the dodge, once you do, the battles are pretty easy.

I've used them in at least 4 Shrines in lieu of boomerangs. Also, to break walls and to drop on enemy camps close to cliffs (to send enemies flying to their deaths.)

Best way to run through enemies when you don't have any weapons and also to destroy outposts easily
Wait what?! They are really useful! I'm constently bombing enemies from above taking already a good chunk of damage before jumping down and finishing them! Furthermore, you can use them to bomb the trees, so you never have to use your weapons to get a Krok leaf again!

Nothing is more satisfying than having a a group of enemies chase you, you throw a bomb and then run past it, look back and explode it
It says in all their entries that they bear no ill will towards people, they just can't control the effects their bodies have.
It was always, absolutely, 100% bogus.
The only game that ever had a big turnaround in public opinion was Wind Waker because of the awful reaction to the reveal and then how well the visuals aged so well with time.
There's a group of Zelda fans for every game who dislike it, but it's not like their opinions change as a new reveal comes out, it's just which group people decide to listen to changes. That's all it ever was.
The Zelda game I've always disliked, for example, is LttP. Disappointed me on release day as a huge fan of the first two, and disappointed me every time since. Proof that fir every Zelda game no matter how sacred you'll find a group that doesn't like it.
Roll it down a hill to stealth kill enemies or distract them.
Blow up cracks in the wall or ore deposits.
Used in a lot of puzzles or story sections too.

Do guardians respawn? Need to know that before spending any of my ancient arrows.

I use them constantly to destroy crates or ore deposits. No way am I wasting my weapon durability on a crate full of apples and arrows. I also use them to cut down trees since I don't usually have an axe.
I also use them in almost every combat situation. They're perfect for destabilizing enemies and stopping an aggressive pursuit. I don't know what I would do without them.
During the maraca quest where you have to kill the bokoblin, one fell off the enormous cliff and survived the fall. If I followed it down, I wouldn't be able to get back up because it was a massive flat rockface. I ended up dropping bombs all the way down and blowing him up. It took a whole bunch of tries because it was so high up and you could barely see him, but it was the only way I could have cleared that little encounter without leaving the map I wanted to be in.

So the amiibos really give you
? Any tips to get them? I tried last night with my 8-bit Link and I'd just get different types of arrows even if I reloaded my save. The day before I just got a shield.
Huh, I wonder if that means if I carry an

More often than not, I have bombs set to L. They're great to defeat octorocks, or to scatter enemies if you have too many approaching you are once. There's also a few shrines and chests that are hidden behind bombable walls.

ice rod to the Goron area, if that'd resist heat/fire damage

You can blow up breakable walls, destroy trees or ore deposits. Attack enemies, knock weapons out of enemies hands, or drop them when paragliding.
World record for the game is around 1 hour and 10 mins. 1 upgrade on stamina and thats it.
I myself beat 2 beasts befor heading to the castle, so I fought
only the 2 dungeon bosses i didnt beat. Also calamity ganon starts with lower hp because the divine beasts you recover will attack at the start.
I actually parried back his projectiles to make him vulnerable in the last part.

In the world, you have to explore to find them. I'm seen several and I haven't even finished exploring the whole map.
Every blood moon, same as normal enemies
I guess I don't find them all that fun or useful. Too cumbersome to shift your abilities, press L, press A or R, then press L again. Then wait for the cooldown. Would rather use bomb arrows.
They're required in the main quest several times. There are dozens of bomb points and a few shrines that require them. They're good in a fight, good for mining ore and excellent against flying guardians.
Pretty important tbh.

I used the bombs to break some crates in the castle and they seem to destroy any contents that aren't apples/normal arrows. Just a coincidence?

Mild ability spoilers:
You can upgrade all your runes, and the bomb upgrade makes it such that the cooldown is nearly non-existant

Bomb arrows are expensive as fuck, save those for big encounters.

Farosh is kind of the same (not really Dinraal though since his don't go off his body) I think that once it leaves them it just moves towards people on its own and that's why nobody gets close

The cool down is non existent if you swap between round and square bombs. I've done it enough that it's programmed muscle memory.

Guys, I need help with a very crucial decision (lol)
I really want to be wearing a traditional tunic, and so far I haven't found it in the game. I know you can have a chance at unlocking some through Amiibo, but I haven't opened any of my Amiibo apart from Smash Bros. Mario and Link. I used the Link one already without knowing you got Epona, and lost her because I just didn't even think about registering her at a stable. And I don't even think I was close to one.
Anyway, I have a share of Amiibo still in the packaging, but I really want to take them out and use them on this game just to see what all I can get. I've seen some really cool Amiibo display with them taken out of the package and was just wondering what everyone else thought about doing this, if I should keep them packaged or if it'd be cooler to take them out, actually use them in games and come up with a neat display for them all.
