Haha perfect, thank you very much good sir.
so I just unlocked the glider and started to really get into the game.
so far it isn't bad, but it isn't blowing me away either.
my main complaint is the climbing.... it's so painfully slow that it kills any motivation to climb up anything.... I felt like i needed to grab a book to read while climbing up the second tower to unlock more map :/

Personally I thought its location was kinda bullshit (says the man who succumbed to a guide after 30 plus minutes of unsuccessfully following a shrine sensor), here's a hint though.
Around the Hebra mountains area there's a very suspicious stone door in a lower area
In general then my hint is
zooming in on the map in relevant areas, look for the distinct skulls.
As a medium hint:
You can see the bone structure on the map when zoomed in on the closest level for 2/3 skeletons. If you scour the edges of the regions it's not too hard to find their locations

anyone know if i can
pull the master sword out if i eat food that would give me bonus hearts that put me at 13 hearts?
When you will have more stamina, you will do more jumps instead of just climbing.

You get access to an outfit that doubles your climbing speed pretty quickly. Or at least you CAN.
Nope.
Nah, it only counts red hearts.
yeah, I would prefer if jumps didn't take like 5 times more stamina so I could just rapidly use them
given the single stamina upgrade I got though it really seems like it will only add one jump per upgrade so I need like 15 of them to get anywhere @_@
ah... that is good to know.

I can inform you of where both the shirt and pants of said outfit are if you want.
shirt:
Bottom right corner of the map there's a large island. Looking from that island you can see a bay surrounded by 3 cliffs. In the middle of this bay is a small island with a shrine that contains a major test of strength with this as a reward
On Mount Lanayru there is a bombable wall that contains a shrine. iirc it's just a gift shrine

I eat mostly wolves and fish
I refuse to kill a fox unless the meat is max hearts or something
It's just there to look good. If you wear it at night it will increase the spawn rate of skeleton enemies.

There are other ways to speed up climbing as well, that doesn't use any stamina.

If these are the doors I'm thinking of, you either have to
roll a boulder from the top of the nearby hill into it, or roll a small snowball which will grow and smash the doors open.
Reposing what I posted in the thread about the open world. I've played around 30 hours I think.
BOTW world reminds me a lot of FFVII. It's the same sense of awe I had playing it when you first get out of Midgar. It feels like the world has a weight to it, it's a fully believable world, where people have their personality, their schedule, their history.
The world itself has it's secrets and and myths. Discovering the
was incredible. It felt the same as discovering the knights of round materia, or discovering one of the weapons. And the world is filled with these secrets.
I've been playing with the minimap turned off since I started the game. It just feels right, I see something in the distance and I go there. I've never felt anything similar exploring the world of GTAV, WD2, MGSV. Only the Witcher 3 came somewhat close.

Its only pretty at the top,very ugly when its all fog and snow :S
Wtf I've done both those things
Cut down a tree and stasised the trunk into the door and that worked - guess the snowballs weren't moving fast enough
The fog and snow add to the beauty IMO.
ill keep those in mind.
so in regards to selling things, what is safe to sell if I wanted to you know... buy a shirt? main things I am looking at are the ores, topaz, opal, amber.

So it turns out you can do this to find more ancient material: https://twitter.com/brandonNaustin/status/841296880000733184
You've literally seen 2 percent of the game.
Waaaatttt. I didn't even consider that they would be movable.

Browsing through this thread, it's as if I'm playing a different game when I see certain posts. Things I haven't seen yet, places I haven't gone to, things I didn't even know were possible etc.

I just saw the
for the first time. Wow.
I was able to unload my seed on the maracas guy. He was so happy that he did his own dance and sprayed his stuff all around too.

Ok. Just beat the game and here are my general fresh impressions:
(spoiler tagging cus you never know).
More detailed spoilers about my impression of specific game content now:
(spoiler tagging cus you never know).
I think it's a very good game, but I'm still moderately disappointed with it. It does a lot of stuff right, but then I feel it doesn't actually deliver on what it could be. Like finding the shrines either in the environment or via the unique side quests is SO good, but then the reward is always the same. The combat is also really fun, but the enemies are all basically the same, and there's not that much variety, and the rewards are either more spirits orbs or mostly meaningless gear/rubies/materials.
More detailed spoilers about my impression of specific game content now:
Like, I think I have three good examples of my biggest issues with the game (and I didn't 100% so just take these as my opinion/impression). First, for a game with all this great exploration all the best loot is bought in shops. and 2nd, When you finally get the master sword like the best weapon in the game, the game straight up says don't use it or it'll break. And then like the whole premise of being let free in this environment to kind of figure it out on your own just directly collides with the quest system that's just like "nah, actually, just go here". So it's like the game kind of sets you up to feel really good doing a thing, or finding a thing, or figuring something out... but then it doesn't actually give you a thing or actually let you solve any meaningful mysteries on your own.
I just think the game could have done with something more in the progression system. and less (yea i know it's like way less then most zelda games) in the hand holding department. Like more runes to unlock, or better more permanent gear that you found from exploring, dungeons that were more significant. Like how awesome would it have been if some of the shrines or main dungeons were more then just puzzle or combat chambers, and then gave you like a permanent boomerang or unlimited arrows or something more then just a heart container.
And the entire time I was waiting for the other shoe to drop... like the 4 main dungeons were just the prelude and we were about to go back in time, or discover the dark world, or you know do the Zelda thing of OHHH secret big suprise, but it never happened.
However, I still think it's a fantastic game for what it is, I just think if falls short of what I thought it could have been. I'd rate it 8/10.

I figured that was implied that I knew that by saying "so I just unlocked the glider and started to really get into the game." given the context after that which showed that I wasn't talking about the getting into the game in the sense of it really grabbing me and making me want to play, but instead that I knew it was just going to open up and become more interesting most likely.
I actively know that I was in a tutorial zone and have plenty to see, I was merely voicing my thoughts that the climbing isn't fun at all at this point. people then more helpfully pointed out that there were things to help with that, instead of pointing out what I already knew that I wasn't very far into the game.
I know it will likely be more interesting from here on out, but that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion about the tutorial stuff and the mechanics I have been using so far. opinions aren't set in stone, they can change over time.
I mean at the very least I would already consider this a better game than skyward sword, but for me that isn't a very high bar as I don't think skyward was a good game at all.

Enjoy. I feel like that sometimes. I sometimes can't wait for sunrise or sunset to get a nice view on top of a mountain.
20 hours in...I just started cooking (the game doesn't really teach you how to - you just learn. Kinda like real life lol)

I don't know. Revali's power is kind of OP. Too easy to traverse terrain now.

i did this power last, but i already had visited everything thanks to the climbing set and three stamina bar!
Even without this, it's pretty easy to traverse terrain in general
