Three more variations to go!

With my first 12 upgrades or so I put 10 into stamina and only 2 into hearts. Glad I did it because there were so many areas I wanted to explore where I needed every bit of stamina to get to.
I put preference to stamina until I got the first second wheel. After that I felt pretty good about climbing everything and then went more into hearts.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
I'm a little over 30 hours in. 24 or so shrines, and three DBs down.
The relatively tame dungeons and uninspiring dungeon bosses hurt a lot. Every other aspect of this game is just sublime. Damn near perfect game design. But man, these bosses and dungeons that prop up the main quest are disappointing. Not only are their designs generic mash-ups of shapes and goop, but the "gamey" patterns they deploy really rid the moments of suspense.
Love everything else, though. The depths of this game world... damn. So many layers.

Lol, that timing.
Hell, I've had more fun just finding towers and uncovering ways to climb some of the tougher ones.

I can upgrade the 8 bit link hat so I'm guessing they all are upgradeable

I saw this on Facebook just now and I can't stop laughing:
The poses (especially Zelda's "come at me"), Zelda's facial expression, it's perfect lol.
I've beaten multiple white haired Lynels and visited the colosseum but no silver Lynel was foundwhat gives?
Did you beat the Colosseum one first? Was there a blood moon?
May also be based on number of lynels killed.
I managed to lure one off a cliff and he teleported back, though there was an actual animation involved and kinda slow. The lynels are just fast otherwise.
Should mention for anyone else interested like I was, but there's some Smash Bros. Link Amazon Prime certified amiibo's coming in stock tomorrow for $70. Prime certified means you can just return it after using it to unlock what you want in the game (if you have Amazon Prime).
What is this from? I've seen all the memories and they never do this. Also, why is Link wearing an alternate outfit?
Man, why does the sun rise so early? It's only 3:45am!
The day/night cycle is a bit weird. I think it is basically considered 'morning' at 4am and it hits night around 7. If you're in a town you'll hear the music change around then.

Maybe Hyrule runs on a 2+ hour DST adjustment.

That's weird, I seem to recall the Great Fairy not giving me the option the upgrade those clothes. Will probably pay a visit to a different fairy and see if that changes anything.

I've seen them physically teleport, yes. The most recent time I noticed it was when I was using my glider to try to mount it but right before I did he did the animation and teleported a feet or two away, as if he knew. Then again this was the white one so it wouldn't surprise me

Amiibo sets can be upgraded with (item spoiler?)
star fragments. They fall from the sky
Lynels teleport. I don't know how far though.
only done like 6 shrines total but game really seems to want me to kill and eat basically everything i come across. Feels a bit mean spirited (or psychotic depending on your methods), so im only eating meat that I steal from enemy camps
Link really gives no fucks in this game
I think you could get by just fine doing a vegetarian run if you wanted, plants are abundant and can have pretty good recovery effects once cooked.
You have to have materials to upgrade any piece to get to the upgrade menu, you can highlight any grayed out piece to see if it's upgradable and which materials it needs.

You probably just didn't have the materials to upgrade it my man

Just got the tower for the desert (I came into it from the southwest by the Rito area so had to go back to the tower after exploring). The plot and shrines in this area are really fun but it's a desert so it's pretty... deserted, with long wastes between sights. Easily avoided if I bothered to bring a mount down. Just the south east map section left, though I've barely been north at all except for the town with the second ancient lab. At some point in gonna go on a scavenger hunt for stuff to power up my favorite outfits, but I think I should get a second Beast done by hour 50?

I got to it a different way than both of you
I followed the healthy,normal looking trees and not the ones with faces.

My god (location spoiler)
is so fucking beautiful. May be my favorite locale in the game so far.
Lanayru Promenade with the flooded ruins
Weird, I've never seen them do this! Even tried running from them and nothing happened.
There's no way to change your attack style with a weapon other than holding the stamina meter to charge it, doing a jump attack, or doing a drop attack from the glider - right?
I'm pretty sick of always swinging these weak horizontal swipes with the Master Sword, hah. I want to jab and slice vertically/diagonally too!

It happened to me twice. One when I hid behind a tree that he can't aim his arrows at me. The other one, because I move too fast and he can't catch me when he rotates, he just gave up rotating and teleported behind me.
So I just did the Castaway mission on
. Holy shit that was extraordinary. Got the last orb and then a blood moon showed up. Take care of it but then I can't figure out where the last placement is. Vaguely remembered something at the start. Yep there it is. But how am I to get the orb there? My ship is... gone? Oh boy. But wait. This massive palm tree. Time to do the walk over the tree which hasn't been necessary once since that one time in the intro section. I get as close as possible to the placement area and chuck the orb there. Finish it by grabbing it and placing it in the hole. Whew. Amazing.
Except I thought I was completing a hidden shrine according to Kass' "17 of 24" which I took to mean five o'clock heading from the island. Apparently not lol. Now I'm stuck trying to figure out this word puzzle.
Eventide Island

It's not a shrine quest. Check your log.
Don't think too much. Look where it's pointing. It's not necessarily way off in the distance either

The fun thing is a random NPC will suggest this method to you and you'll have the chance to never find them. I found them AFTER I found out.
Its like the animators purposely chose a dying animation that makes you feel like an ass for killing wildlife too.only done like 6 shrines total but game really seems to want me to kill and eat basically everything i come across. Feels a bit mean spirited (or psychotic depending on your methods), so im only eating meat that I steal from enemy camps

A lot of things in this game are hinted by NPCs. The fun thing is because there's no order of places to go to, you'll most likely discover how things work before you see the NPC that gives you the necessary hint lol.
I actually got a Shrine quest from someone and it was something I had already figured out. The "Shrine Quest Icon" popped up, disappeared, and then immediately popped up with completed.
Little bit. There's a shop in
Gerudo town
I always sold myself down to fifteen or twenty of each stone whenever I needed cash, and I've never really hit a wall on needing them but being empty.
Came back from a week long trip, but was able to get a few hours in this game during it. Climbed all of the towers, completed the ancient armor (Link looks so badass with it), got most of the memories, and left off on the last divine beast I need done. There some small disappointments I have, particularly story related and how some of the divine beast quests plays out, but I still love this game so freaking much, that it could still very well be one of my favorite zelda games.
