It's really easy. You can mash the attack button with the occasional side dodge for almost every enemy.

But then there is a recovery period if you miss.
Goron:
Go to the stable at the base fo Death Mountain and talk to all of the NPCs there.
Gerudo:
Wait until night and use your cold resist clothes to cross the desert.

You get 2 upgrades near Kakariko, then 6 upgrades at Riverside stable, then he moves to his forest for good (so far).

Town spoilers:
I just discovered the classroom that teaches about love in Gerudo Town. There are dummies used as practice too. Omfg this game!
I got to Hebra Tower. Trekking through the snowy mountains was quit a trip. There were times when the snowstorms were too thick to see far and a lot of tough enemies. I didn't even buy the cold gear because I had no money, I just had my doublet and some spicy food. Now I'm raking in the cash with snowball bowling.

Getting there was the challenge. I've come across a few like that, but some have very involved overworld puzzles.

I already read twice today on this pages the suggestion that enemy scaling is a good thing, let alone an even remotely acceptable mechanic in any game ever.
At the third i'll get out of here, just try to not say that too often until Chipworks' analysis of the Switch die shots comes out, so i have less chances to read that

Clocked in at around 35-40 hours and I think I'm going to slow down on the game for a while. I have about 64 shrines completed, all of the memories, 17 hearts, 2 stamina wheels, upgraded most of the armor I've found.
The problem I'm having is that nothing can kill me anymore, and I can surmount just about every obstacle, so the only progression I'll be making will be for progression's sake only. I don't need any more upgrades to be able to tackle anything in the game. Breath of the Wild has a big difficulty spike at the beginning of the game upon leaving the Plateau, but the difficulty all but disappears by the time you hit 13 hearts and upgrade your armor a couple of times.
That's fine, and I'm not taking away from how completely fantastic the content in this game is, but I'm definitely going to be playing in much smaller chunks from now on. Still got a lot of content to clear, so I'll take it nice and slow.

There are a few shrines where the challenge is outside of the shrine, then you just walk to the chest/orb once you get in.
Then there are others where there's a challenge outside the shrine then an even bigger challenge inside.
Looking at you Goron shrine in the desert. Motion controls suck.

Risa is hilarious in her answers.
Today was spent mostly exploring the Faron region. I spent a good amount of time exploring it without a map at all because I couldn't find the tower. Instead I ran into all sorts of other adventures. I got to the fishing village and found a shrine above it. Really happy that it wasn't yet another combat shrine. I've had a bad run of luck running into a few of those in a row and left a few undone. Got a mission to kill monsters at a beach but since I had no map the directions meant nothing to me. A kid showed me to some ruins and that was another fun investigative quest which I'm doing.
But I felt really bottlenecked by my inability to follow basic directions, so I just had to find the goddamn tower. I climbed. And I climbed. I found cliff after cliff and plateau after plateau, but nowhere could I see the tower. Eventually I started moving westward and I finally spotted the tower. I looked left of it and saw a giant green dragon just circling the sky doing hoops. Fucking insane. When I tried approaching the tower in a straight line, it would start raining every time and I would get killed by lightning. So I circled around the cliffs instead.
Somewhere along the way of this journey, I also ran into another lovers' pond, this time complete. And I got a couple together. Even made some money out of it because the Gerudo chick pressured him into giving me more money. LOL.
Eventually I got to the tower and finally uncovered the map. This allowed me to further progress in the ruins quest as well as complete the monster extermination mission. But while doing all that, I also had other mini adventures like taming a horse with 4 dash bars only to lose it because I jumped off it to finish off a monster who was chasing a traveler (after almost killing it by running head on at it with the horse at full speed!), there was also a deadly encounter with a disguised Yiga clan assassin, and then there were mysterious statues I found, one of which saved my life because a huge thunderstorm started, and I decided to just hide behind it hoping it would shelter me. It did, but lightning would strike in the area just behind me now and then, setting the grass on fire. Really intense stuff.
When I finally got to the monster extermination spot, I swam out into the water, found some cover behind rocks and wood debris, and just busted out my golden bow to snipe all the lookouts, before storming the place and finishing off the stragglers. Sooooo satisfying. The best part of getting a head shot on an enemy that doesn't finish them off immediately, but the impact throws them off the ledge and they fall to their doom. Mmmmm.
I teleported back to the village to report in, and found the fisherman having dinner with his family around a cooking pot. Then the kids got up and the mom said it was past their bedtime when I talked to her. So I went to the inn and got myself a fluffy bed too.
Best game ever made? Maybe.

This game and it's many ways of solving a problem
And these test of mights are a joke now
where you have to get a ball past lasers on a conveyor. I just said screw this, put a bomb by the ball, and launched it across the room and it landed in the hole.

Yes,in this regard it is pretty much the same as ALbW. But at least in BotW you can make life harder for yourself by equipping weaker armor. Did this as soon as I got my TWW and OoT amiibo outfits. Made the game challenging again (especially in Hyrule Castle) and looked much better than the outfits the game provides you. Especially in the story sequences. I really hope they bring the classic tunic back as a mandatory or at least early obtainable armor in the next installment. Without amiibos, you're basically screwed in this regard (
and if you can finally get it as a reward for completing all shrines, it's basically too late

Thanks guys! I don't seem to have Riverside Stable on the map yet though. Which direction is that?
It's along the eastern border of central Hyrule.
How do you guys deal with the Lynels that carry those massive clubs? I don't know what weapon it is but it looks bigger than the Lynel itself. I mean I took out a Lynel at Hyrule Castle nearly first thing after leaving the Plateau, and now I've stumbled onto this random one in an empty field and it's just, like, impossible, man.
I haven't managed to do a flurry rush a single time. His shock arrows trace me for miles and hit me no matter my cover. It's crazy. It's sheer insanity.

Breath of the Wild is still much more challenging than most RPGs in its advanced phases. Lightnings can still destroy you in certain situations, guardians can still destroy you especially if they get close enough and it's not that hard for them to do that (not to mention there are several parts of the map where there are many of them that attack you at the same time), lynels still take a lot of time to go down and have very dangerous movesets (even more so the buffed ones), and even buffed lizalfos can be a problem considering how broken some of their weapons are (try to go in one of their camps when it rains, enjoy getting fucked by lightning arrows). And obviously weapon degradation has its weight in this as well.
But aside from this, going from being a scrub that risks getting 1shot by a fucking blu bokoblin to gaining the powers of the Hero, the only person on Hyrule that can actually defeat the Calamity Ganon, is called sense of progression, and the entire premise of the game needs this to happen. It doesn't make any sense for the game to keep throwing at you more and more buffed scrubs that can easily kill you. At some point, it kinda have to make sense that you're strong enough to stomp enemies, otherwise how the fuck are you supposed to beat "a primal evil that has endured over the ages".

Lmao the
boss battle might have been the biggest joke in the history of jokes. Jesus christ. I don't necessarily think that after so many souls games that bosses are a joke as as whole, but guy was such a pushover

Only read if you have done the Spring of Wisdom shrine quest.
So I had freed Naydra from the evil spirit a few hours ago and I was just exploring Lanayru Heights just now and I hear the wind a lot louder than usual and I suddenly hear beautiful music. I look up and Naydra flies past me, freezing me in the process.
This game....... It's something else.

That's it thought ain't it? I think it would better serve folks to finish the game the intended way and then have a second account to access that after the game is complete.

Do stamina boosts cap so you're forced to take hearts or nothing? Game isn't hard so I'm just taking stamina for QoL.
So far I'd say it's decent open world, plenty of mystery to search out, but so far no more satisfying dicking around in Hyrule than it was dicking around in Fallout 3.

Yes. You max out stamina at three wheels.

Will that set by chance make you better at climbing when it rains or is Link still fucked?
The climbing set helps once you get all three pieces leveled up.
