Pro Tip: Use your sneaking gear and constantly stay in the Stasis or Magnetism overlay to see the fucker better. Whoever thought to make this korok in a color that blends in perfectly with the fog and grass is an idiot.
Link, this is a sneaking mission
Serious end game spoilers
So in the calamity Ganon fight when he takes his second form Zelda says he has given up on reincarnation and entered a pure enraged form.
Does this mean Ganon is done for good after this point in the time line? Like he put all his power on the line this time and reverted to a demise like form and we destroyed his very essence?

Zelda character spoilers:
Having unlocked some (but not all) of the memories now, I really like what they're doing with Zelda here. Zero Punctuation described her as an insecure nerd in way over her head, and I don't think that's a completely inaccurate description.
I appreciate that Zelda doesn't really have much in the way of confidence in this game. Nor does she seem to have really accepted the role that has been placed upon her - and it's not without reason either. She plays the part but doesn't own it like previous incarnations, which is interesting to see.
I also like how this in turn affects her dynamic with Link. In a way she's projecting her self-doubt on to him, and that she doesn't seem to be immediately taken with Link is refreshing. Hell, there even seems to be a degree of resentment there - he succeeds while she is struggling.
I dunno, I just find myself sympathising with this Zelda a fair bit. Considering how standard the overall narrative is, I'm happy that they're changing up some of the smaller aspects.

No.
She meant that he has given up on reincarnating at the moment. Zelda even mentions that Ganon will one day return during the ending.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
It's pretty simple really if you don't use Stasis.
Use the iron boxes to block two fans. Carry the ball to the fan closest to the rising platform, let it go, and the fans (if you blocked the two that would push it off-course) will push the ball into the hole while you wait on the platform.

That was never said during the ending I got.
Get two stamina upgrades then go ham on hearts until you get to 13. At which point max out on stamina.

I can personally attest that no more than 2 kids are necessary, since that's all I have.
I keep seeing negative comments about this trial, so I was really dreading it. But I finished it just a couple hours ago on my first try, 5 minutes and done. lol. I didn't think it was that bad, I just made sure to crouch constantly and keep a fair distance from the little guy's speech bubble.

What's the deal with the
in the centre of Van Medoh (the flying great beast).
As far as I can tell they don't serve any distinct purpose...?
moving platforms

Between waiting for the screen protector to arrive and wrapping up some lingering stuff in the backlog, I've been late to the party to this. I finally managed to properly start sinking my teeth into this game. I'm loving switching it between docked and handheld mode.
But, running around calmly in The Great Plateau while in bed in handheld mode has been so god damn chill so far.

agreed lmao. I have bad eyes too so I could barely see the little shit while still trying to stay back.
Two more shrines or one respec and I can
I think my goals tonight are to do the shrines, do what I spoilered above, and find another memory or two. Oh, and maybe do some bowling to get enough rupees to get some armor. Shit's expensive yo.
pull the Master Sword, even though I haven't found it yet.

yall werent kidding about
being underwhelming if you've done everything else.
I had a tougher and more exciting battles against the White Lynels.
Final boss should have just been
"We meet again Link. 'Tis I. 100 WHITE LYNELS AT THE SAME TIME-ANDORF, YES THAT'S MY NAME"

WTF. I wish i knew this earlier omg
The first few hours are amazing, no doubt. But after that, it's another 50 hours of gameplay where you are doing the same things that you did in the first 10 hours. That isn't just the allure of the open world level wearing off, its that the game design isn't interesting enough to sustain itself for the whole game. Part of the enjoyment I got from the first few hours is thinking "wow, there's so much unique stuff in the world, I can't believe they managed to fill up a whole world like this", and then I kept playing and figured out that there wasn't much else to do. That kind of ruins the appreciation I had for the beginning of the game.

When I did that test a wolf came out of no where and attacked him and he asked me for help and then got pissed that I was following him and I had to start again but I had to kill the wolf I felt so so ripped.
It's like the other two
Not really...
Zora had the way up, then the Lynel thing at least. Goron had that fun mine segment. Rito had...shoot five targets?

I think they mean the
gerudo
rito one being boring af. there was no build up. Literally just find the guy and he's like get ready and takes you up. and like the village doesn't even care smh. After saving the zoras from medoh they throw you a party and everyone in town shows up. When you finish rito one you just speak to the owl elder and he's like "o thanks"
I've only done those 2 so far though so hopefully the next ones are better.
Ah I misunderstood then haha (long day for me). Good to hear that one is similar at least.
fuck koroks for real
Three stamina upgrades IMO. Makes climbs way less stressful. You still have to find rest spots but you don't get put in pinches as often.
Buying them.
Free arrows from Lizalfos in Zora River is also good. Lots of shock arrows.

Lol I did that shrine completely wrong
The bravery's grasp challenge where you were suppose to
instead I
The bravery's grasp challenge where you were suppose to
dislodge the laser, put it on the moving platform to have it move the platforms for you
placed a remote bomb on the far side, placed a round bomb on near side, glided to the chest, arrowed my way up, flew as far as I could, bombed the switch twice to victory
The road going to the Zora Domain has a ton of monsters that drop Arrow x5 when killed. You can easily get 100 pieces on those.
I tried to do it that way too for the longest time and it was just fucked and I finally realized I could do the "right" solution lol.

Eventually when you're loaded and have nothing to spend your Rupees on, just warp to stables periodically and buy all the arrows from Beedle.

I disagree completely.
Ganon was ruining me during the final third of his first form and it was only by getting lucky with a flurry rush or having Daruk's Protection do the lifting for me. I finally realizedas an epic killshot no lessthat you can shield parry his lasers.

Yooooooo that's how I did it lol, never knew the intended way, cept' no arrowing.
This makes breath of the wild a trash game tbh. I can't believe I haven't heard a single "thank you" from Beedle yet. he still said it in skyward sword
and ok, I also miss his theme. I could have gone for a nice piano arrangement
Probably been posted already, but....holy shit (possible location/callback spoiler)
Possible? 100 percent. Its at the ranch ruins. The whole Hyrule Field is basically ocarina of time
Don't do this, he overcharges. Just go to each town and buy them.

Wow Robbies story was pretty interesting. I love
The NPCs in this game have some great stories. I'd love to see younger
This made me really sad
I loved the
in Twilight Princess. They were really fun to fight.
how he names so many locations during his travels. It makes Hyrule feel like a real place with rivers, mountains, passes, settlements and so on. I also wasnt expecting the wife being jealous of the computer either and I really enjoyed that surprise.
