This game got super amazing based on a random experience I had.
I was by that gerudo tower just working my way up the mountain side when I see a tough bokoblin and the bigger version. So I pull out a bomb to throw it at them since they had there backs turns to me when suddenly that octo thing sucks up the bomb and spits it back out @ me as I back flip to avoid the explosion. The bigger goblin picks up the smaller guy by the leg and Throws him at me! Wtf I had no idea they fought like that lol.
Then I kill the smaller guy and right as he's in mid air animation to die the big guy catches his airborne weapon and Pierce's me with it resulting in game over. All within about 10 seconds of that mind blowing experience.

They're rare but there's a small sidequest that makes them pretty easy to farm.
They're going for a more "realistic" body structure this time so it's understandable it's not as obvious. That said check out the Gerudo women, the differences are not exaggerated but there are numerous differences among them.

my switch finally displayed my playtime after 10 days! PLayed more than 90 hours with
sanctuary, 187 koroks seeds and 60 sidequests done!
120
They're the rarest stone. I've only found 2 so far, both in shrine chests I believe.

armor in the shrine south east of hateno village in the sea I think, pants I think in the west part of central hyrule but don't quote me on that

Rarest in the overworld. There's a side quest which makes diamond one of the easiest of the ores to find since you can bypass RNG completely.
There is a sidequest you can complete where you trade 10 luminous stones for 2 diamonds and every 10 after that you get 1 diamond.
There's a sidequest in
Zora's Domain
Edit: See the post above me.
Forgive me is this has been asked before. I don't really have the time to read through all 115 pages, and I also haven't used to WiiU enough to know if this is even a thing. Does Zelda run better on the gamepad or is it all just the same? I played on my TV and since then have been playing on the pad just out of convenience. Seems the same to me, but if it does run better on the pad I'll just stick to that. I'm not really minding the lower resolution and since I'm not used to the button layout it makes it a bit easier for me when I'm looking directly at the controller.
Cut the grass, most of the time they are hiding in grass and you need to cut it for them appear (same as fairy hiding in grass and other small insects).

AFAIK it's the same, it's just streaming the input to your gamepad instead of the tv
Talk to NPCs for hints.
Unless it's actually rendering and streaming 480p to the Gamepad for off-TV play, I'd assume it's the same. I've only done a small amount on the Gamepad, and didn't really notice any difference.

I thought that's whay he said, but couldn't find it ion the map. Where on the map is that?
Probably mentioned before but has anyone had a staredown with a Lynel? I was on my third one (bastards are still tough to fight every single time), saved right before we fought. On restart after dying, I realize he's literally just staring at me from a short distance since I'm not moving... like he's sorting out what I am and my intentions. As soon as I draw my weapon, he charges at me in a rage. Feels like something straight out of Predator.
This fucking game.
Just my two cents: the Wii U gamepad's screen is so terrible that (couple with the low res obfuscating game detail) I don't think any small improvement in performance is worth it. I have played close to zero games on the gamepad whereas I was literally all weekend playing on the Switch in handheld mode.

Did the quest with
last night where you
. This game is so deep! That quest was so easy to miss but it has a huge payoff. I played Twilight Princess in January and after 50 hours I feel like I saw 100% of that game. I'm probably 60 hours into Breath of the Wild and there's still so much I haven't seen.

third armor upgrade I'd say
I've had that. It was nuts.
Armor upgrade and use defense-up potions.
By the way, after a while you also become like MacGyver, able to use a lot of the environment to kill bad guys. Last night, I picked up an oar, lit it on fire on a nearby torch, and threw it at an explosive barrel and took out a bunch of bad guys. Then I rode the updraft created by the burning grass to paraglide over the surviving bad guys and sniped the rest of them with a few arrows.
Another time, I was strafing and fired a regular arrow right as a moblin shot a fire arrow at me. My arrow went through his shot, caught on fire and he got burnt. I wish I recorded it because it would be perfect for a "thread backfire" situation.
Aye. 60 hours in, beat the game, but my map is 35% complete, haven't done 2 of the main dungeons, sidequests are at like 33% done, and Shrines quests are like at 40% done. Overall shrines are at abut 55%. I'm still loving actually just getting around and exploring the world.
Yeah. The 3rd upgrade to
heavy armor types
That was a really great quest. The reward from it is amazing too.

a screen nuke

Don't remember where I found the chest piece, but I've had that forever.
Just found the pants last night.
Ironically haven't found the headpiece yet and that seems to be the most common according to folks online.
When you have the ninja suit
Well, considering there is a form of enemy scaling in the game... idk.
Maybe when you start getting crazy good weapons and the
previous Champions powers from the Divine Beasts.
Generally after your first dungeon until sliver variants start appearing. Or like six hearts and a half upgrade to stamina.
Never ;_;
If combat is giving you trouble, try stealth. The Sheikah armor gives you max stealth and stealth attacks do heavy damage.
I wore a
lynel
Your damage output never becomes OP. It's more that damage reductions turns 99% of enemy attacks down to 1/4th of a Heart.
Single biggest disappointing moment in the game. Discovering a
4th kind of Bokoblin, and then having it deal 1/4th of a heart to me.
Never especialy when different color variants of enemies spawn in with smarter ai better weapons and way more hp.
So, how does everyone here like the soundtrack? I was so deeply moved by the Rito Village music that I decided to record this song on piano. I hope you all like it. Enjoy and relax!

People have mentioned a Lynel spawn on Mount Lanayru. Where is that?

10-4. There's a tower I got to the other night that overlooks that forest.
It's right at the base of the mountain when you approach from Kakariko.
There are a few white spawns in Tabantha Tundra.
For blue there's one in the Colosseum Ruins.
