Lol
saw a lot of rusty stuff laying around. Some of them are probably very good weapons.

After a week of playing I'm starting to think I should mess with the main quests. I keep getting distracted messing around in the world.
Holy shit. BRB stocking some rusty swords now.

What if we feed it some food?
This motherf-ing game man
This is where i was two days ago. It's worth it. Really nice change of pace.
Do you have the map?
The hint is located at the wheel next to it. Good luck.
you can move a part of the titan in your map. Move it and you will figure it out.

an envelope with a picture of a sheikah woman, anyone know what it's for?

How do shrines increase health and stamina though? Other than exchanging 4 spirit orbs for one or the other at the Temple of Time? And where can I get better armor? I'm still wearing the Warm Doublet and Hylian Trousers from the starting area. There's an armor shop in
, but a lot of it seems oriented to stealth rather than defense? Also, if I change away from the Warm Doublet, do I lose the cold protection?
EDIT: maybe I should buy the official guide, I suck at this game. Shame there's no electronic version, it seems to be physical only.

Two down and not a fan of the Divine Beast bosses.
They don't seem to have a long enough wind-up time for how can damaging and far-reaching their attacks can be.
I really struggled on the Zora one, having not had enough arrows to capitalize on long range damage (I ended up just hurling melee weapons), and with the Gerudo one, after dying a few times to out-of-nowhere attacks, I just brought a ton of arrows and pelted the boss whenever it was getting up from a stun, but it still wasn't an engaging fight.
In truth I find the Divine Beast sections, from the moment you enter to the moment you exit, to be lacking. Good ideas but poor execution.

Am I just being paranoid or is riding a horse considered to be detrimental to discovery? I feel like flying by areas on horseback all the time I'm missing stuff I'd otherwise see. I wish ninty would have bumped the fov a bit more on horseback to compensate, but considering the perf is as bad as it is anyways that probably wasn't an option, sigh...
Like I said I'm probably just paranoid, but it's worth asking I guess. I swear to God if I could go back and stop my dad from buying me resident evil as a child I'd probably have hundreds of hours back on my life from scouring open world games for useless shit >.>

What you are "supposed" to do:
Use stasis when the stone is in the air, shoot arrows at it and let the power of arrows and time carry it to the goal 
Richest man in hyrule. Funding all my armor sets atleast.

It would have been much easier to use your bow while you are in the air. But there are many solutions to the puzzle. For instance, if you jump just as the platform launches you, you go much higher.

Yeah I got that, that's part 1. Part 2
there's a platform shooting you upwards and a door switch in a hole in the wall, you need to shoot the door switch with an arrow but the door closes in like a second.
Haha. Brb trying this.

I like the divine beast bosses since they subscribe to the Majora's Mask school of Zelda bosses where there are muliple methods to take them on.

Uh.
Were you using a double arrow bow? Because it sounds like you were hitting it twice. It didn't close at all for me, when I only hit it once.
I was really hoping for a angle where you learn (Gerudo section spoilers)
that Gerudo males are imprisoned or killed at birth, by Hyrule decree
Ganondorf
accepting Ganondorf's actions as his own, and being less militant towards men
the Zora's become more forgiving of Hylians
Are you sure you are fully understanding your combat options? When to block, when to evade, when to use melee and when to use arrows, etc? Because it sounds like you've been trying to brute force bosses and it's working due to sheer will, rather than tackling in an efficient way that feels fun. The Gerudo boss for example is simply about blocking and keeping it in sight and positioning so it attacks first and you don't get hit. Then you counter and break the shield before comboing everything on it.

This is exactly how I did it as well. No idea if it's even possible otherwise (well, we're talking about BOTW, so I guess it's actually possible to do some other weird stuff in order to make it happen)
I wish people would start routing more and go for 'All Beasts + Ganon' runs or categories like that. Would be much more interesting to me.
Or is that already a thing?

Where is that NPC that buys raw meat again?
how? why? fuck. This game.
Stable in West Central Hyrule i think, below a shrine
If you mean the raw gourmet meat guy, which you probably don't
I tackled the Gerudo boss without damage once I understood the pattern. The wind-up time was more a problem with the Zora boss, for me, as I couldn't distinguish between a radial and direct attack quickly enough.
The Gerudo boss was an issue of having too many two handed weapons. I kept trying to predict and dodge the
dashing swipe
It's just that the attacks are so damaging and hard to dodge (for me) that I end up playing in a really passive, mechanical, 'turtle-y' way that I don't find fun, as opposed to a dynamic, risk taking, 'going for one more swipe than I really should' way. Perhaps it's the lack of Dark Souls experience showing...
