There is one shrine with a horrible motion control puzzle. It is horrible on Wii U because of the controls and the camera angle. With better controls and camera it would be easy. It has a ball balancing table. You know the one... The rest of the motion control shrines I've done are fine.
 
There's actually a shrine that uses gyro controls where as I was doing it (using the Pro controller) I wondered if it was even possible to complete if you were playing in handheld mode. I can't recall the name of it, but (shrine puzzle spoilers)
there's a big cube suspended in the air with torches on all 6 sides of it. Just above the cube is a lantern that can light the torch on the top of the cube. To the left and right of the cube are two water spouts that will extinguish the torches on the left and right sides (though the left side can be lowered out of the way with a button). Not only do you have to be pretty precise here (because you essentially need to angle your rotation so the spout you can't lower doesn't contact the torch on that side as you spin), you have to make at least one full rotation both horizontally and vertically. I think you'd have to disconnect the JoyCon and do it in tabletop mode.

If you don't like the gyro controls in other places you'll probably not enjoy that shrine very much...
Honestly I had an easy time with this one, the only motion control shrine I didn't like was the hateno one. All the others I've encountered were pretty easy for me.
 
Uhh, can someone give me a hint scaling
Death Mountain
?

Made it to the #9 marker where there's a cannon that's just aimed out at nothing and I don't see any way forward whatsoever.
 
The motion control is absolutely horrible on the switch. Like almost intentionally bad.

Im pretty sure that only the right joycon affects motion so I removed mine from the unit and had more sucess that way.

But it was absolutely wrong to include them after claiming the game can be played with the pro controller only

pro controller has motion in them

Don't know how you got that far in the first place, but you're not supposed to be there yet. Look for Goron City

made the same mistake.... you need to
aim each canon at the beast, after that you'll get access to it

I agreed with you, most of the motion control ones are fine (the golf like one, etc, etc). But that one with the ball maze...ugh! Also another one where you have to place three balls in specific spots using motion control (move the floor to do so)...those are the only puzzles involving motion that are pretty bad.

What?
I used a whole lot of arrows shooting at the stupid switches to rotate the cube. You could do the puzzle with motion control?
 
So, I did it - I bought the
house
in Hatano! :D Home sweet home. But I thought you could store 3 weapons in it? So far I could only store one only. I guess, I have to upgrade it? But how do I do that? Will it be possible later or does it have to do something with the expansion sidequest in Akkala that opened up just right now?

Also, any hint for the missing Zora
wife
would be greatle appreciated! I've searched through the entire Lake Hylia already... :/
 
does anybody else stumbled on
silver monsters?
, jut met one, wonder where we can find others!

Oh.

I thought they were just for taking out the sentries. Time to backtrack.

figured it out simply by looking at the quest entry, you should check the journal more often, it helps a lot

Well you're not alone. Same thing happened to me last night. I looked at the map and saw
there was a marker for the lizard, which reminded me I should be shooting at him.

just talk to the guy near your house, the guy who built it! The side quest in Akkala is something else
 
Forget the gambling game. If anyone is looking for easy rupees the snow bowling game is where it's at. Get the right technique and you'll pull in 300 rupees every time (less the 20 rupee entry fee) in well under a minute. Though a strike isn't 100% guaranteed, the success rate is far far higher than the RNG. Just got myself 6,000 rupees in 20 minutes.
 
Man, this game does make you want to explore. Thanks to a girl in Hatano I am going
true a darn tropical forest where is raining 90% of the time trying to find the town she mention. I tried reaching it first by scaling a mountain from a side since the shrine alert was beeping. It began to rain so decide to wait it out...was still raining after resting...still raining so decide to climb down and find another way.

Rain stop so I decide to try again...rain starts once more and I was taken for a fool by the game once I did find another path and it hit me 'IS FREAKING TROPICAL FOREST! NO WONDER IT NEVER STOP RAINING!!!...you tricked me bad game...you tricked me incredible bad!'. Wasn't even mad when I found out xP Now I am climbing waterfalls after the Riverside Stable mention something on top of it...haven't even found the town and I am already distracted!
 
It's crazy how the two areas south and south east of the Great Plateau are completely optional.

Like, if you just wanna do the main quest stuff, you have no business there.
 
That moment weapon you cook five durians together by accident and get 21 extra hearts.

The moment afterward where you think you're a genius and try to pull
the master sword
with all your fake valor and it sees right through your ruse.
 
I'm around forty hours in and have yet to even consider a dungeon. I want this to last.
Same. I'm about 30 hours now. Only activated four towers and have plenty to do in those four provinces. Have yet to even seek out a dungeon but I will go on and hit up Zora's Domain this weekend just to get one. Then l'll sandbox some more after.
 
The issue with the motion shrines is that there is a slight delay after you moving the thing to the thing actually moving. And then for hammers how they rotate around a fixed point that can be hard to see depending on if it shows you the point in the angle you get.

The motion is still great for aiming.

You may want to consider the Rito dungeon in the north west as the reward item potentially aids exploration.

There is
a story element in those areas, but is indeed optional for what I have explore of it. Still rather interesting things there to find there!

even if you don't do the dungeon, go at least in the area to activate them, you'll get some usefull stuff that let you explore the world more easily!
especially the zora one

Thanks for the tip!

Haven't gone anywhere to the west, south or even north of Great Plateau yet... :/

Ok, definitely doing the Zora one this wknd.
 
I got to admit, as much as I hate the blood moon glitch there's one big upside to it...those cooking effects. I can throw a single Maxi-whatever into a pot and get a full heal with +3 hearts out of it o.O

oh my god
 
Man, getting to the top of the
Akkala
tower sure was an experience. Wasn't exactly sure how I was supposed to get on it... I ended up
climbing on the ruined archway while carefully avoiding the malice and paragliding onto the tower.

The far North East one as well which I explored yesterday (Akkala). And that's a huge area with so many things that grabbed my attention I don't even know where to begin.

I haven't played Witcher 3 yet so I can't compare, but this is easily the biggest game I've ever played.

Yeah it almost looked like that
ruined archway wasn't the solution with how the malice was covering most of it - but there was that little piece you could sneak by and then make the jump
- pleasantly surprised

I don't know if it's technically bigger, but I dumped almost 200 hours into TW3 and I can tell you it certainly FEELS bigger

To the people saying this world reminds them of WoW zones - can you hook me up with whatever it is you're smoking? This is is infinitely more vast
 
So anyone want to tell me what happens in the
forgotten
temple?

I noped out of there, but I heard it had story or something.

Haha, I've spent my 30hrs or more of the game so far in those areas. Didn't intend to avoid main quest areas so heavily. That said even without a solid story thread down there it's packed with excitement and secrets everywhere. There have been such cool moments that it bothers me people could finish the game without experiencing what the areas have to offer :P

Revalis Gale
is all you need.

Ruto dungeon spoiler above if you haven't gotten it yet.
 
I am completely in love with this game. No open world has even come close to getting me this hooked. I'm only ten hours in and I just got my first horse and rode to Kakariko village and man oh man, I just can't put (the amazing pro controller) down. I absolutely love the feeling that I am on my own personal adventure in a gorgeous world that just invites me to explore.

Though is "optional" there is a quest in Hateno that sends you there. It greatly helps for
fighting Guardians in the future since you get special arrows to fight them
 
just had an intriguing loading screen... it talked about precious container / receptacle, found at the edge of the world! I didn't have time to read it fully!

Any idea what it is?
 
Major test of strength done! Wasn't that hard when I used the Sheika axe. The robots are weak against sheika tech. I'm also glad abilities are not allowed in that battle.
