it's not supposed to replace all the other weapons forever, that would break the system.
in dungeons and against guardiands it's buffed, twice as strong and gets a huge increase in durability

Just finished the game this evening. Took me about 30 hours to complete the main quest. The ending was pretty weak compared to some of the past games in the series, but the journey was fantastic. Now with all of that out of the way, I'm going to just kick back, explore and find new shrines.
It's enough to get the job done against most enemies if you have a good shield.

I should've guessed. Seperately, I was stuck for a long time figuring out how to get fire resistance, and never bothered to talk to all the people at the nearby stable. They really do help for each area!
Today I went the south costal route. As I was walking I saw a woman in love with the ancient ball, so I'll have to take some pics to make her happy. On my way I found lots of chests, and then went up to a shrine that had to be struck by lightning (always fun to hear Ges [?] playing the
music). Then as I was walking toward another pool filled with chests, suddenly the green dragon comes out. Just amazing (and more amazing to find another stable and maybe another village which some guy on a horse says he's going to but I don't see on the map
Master Sword is just so good in general. While its damage output without the presence of malice is just above average for a one-handed weapon, it's pretty durable, regenerates every 10 minutes, and just destroys a good percentage of monsters in a few swings.
Not to mention it can shoot beams at full health lol.

Thanks, I'll look around.
Trying my best not to outright get answers online but at least looking for a shove in the right direction.

I've only been using it during boss fights. I know it can't break, but the game has been conditioning me to be weary of weapon wear. I can't help it!
Anyways...
All four dungeons complete... Now back to looking for more Shrines and doing side quests. I know it's time to go beat Ganon, but I don't want the game to end.

The mazes are broken with ritos gale ability. You can just fly ontop of them and jump down to the finish, I feel like there should be a roof
Mmm.. not the ones on the eastern shore and the southern border, the shrines are locked and you have to enter from below.

So I was at the (shrine mission spoilers)
Trial of Thunder shrine and had to do something extremely precise in order to get the chest on the pillar.
So I went through the shrine normally, up until you open the way to the goal. In order for me to get on top of the pillar where the treasure was, I tried gliding to it from the goal platform. I came up just a bit short. So then I used Magnesis to see if I can grab the chest with it, but no luck there. I noticed that the chest with the Rubber Armor was able to be grabbed, though.
Since I came up just shy of reaching the pillar, I thought that I could use the small height boost the other chest would give me to get over there. And after a few failed attempts (which required me to have to use the big metal cube as a stepping stone to get back up to the goal platform), I finally made it!
I thought I was being clever in solving it that way, but then I read in this thread that someone just used the big metal cube to knock the chest down from the pillar. That... didn't even cross my mind, even though I manipulated another chest in order to reach that one. I feel dumb now for going through all that trouble. :<

So it doesn't break? I'm afraid to use it.
Anyone recommend using it?
Its not gonna be a diamond to 'repair' it is it?
Yup! I love surfing from hateno lab down through the village. You haul ass when it's raining
It does not break just runs out of energy requiring a ten minute cool down. Use it !

I don't know your experience, but absolutely not the case for me. There's shit absolutely everywhere, whether it's weapons, rupees, seeds, shrines, or just cool shit to see.
I've beaten all the Souls games and I'm not ashamed to admit that I lost more than a few times to (Desert Dungeon spoiler boss)
made the fight harder.
Only got one more left to go and then it's on to the big bad I guess. I'm still loving the hell out of this.
I can't believe they took Zelda in such a new direction. It paid off big time.
Thunderblight Ganon. Lock on wasn't doing it and combined with Links ragdoll and trying to get those pylons near him, (which also caused camera issues)

I can absolutely see different people will have dramatically different experience based on their play style and intelligence
Getting around there put a smile on my face for a good 10 mins.

I need to find Hetsu, I need to expand my weapon inventory, is there an NPC I can talk to that will point me in the right direction? I don't need to know exactly where he is....

OMG you can fly to the
in the north east. And the weapons there are incredible. Make sure to have room for them.

No NPC, but remember he said he was heading back to Korok Village.
Depending how far along you are, he is either at the stable near the road on the way to the Lost Woods or he is in Korok Village.
The
labyrinth
I loved that. Are there any others aside from the one in
Gerudo Desert

Wow, a few of the shrines in Hebra drove me nuts trying to find. Had to look up a small hint for one of them online, which is the first time I had to look up anything BotW-related in my 90 hours of play. Feels bad, man.

Whoa played the game for 90 hours and didn't know this was a thing. I still have only taken down 1 do me beast and done 58 shrines. Now I get to hunt for star pieces. 200 hrs here I come.
One in the northwest too.

Just made it to this dungeon tonight. After this only the Golem dungeon left.
Make sure you've done 4-5 electricity shrines before you do that dungeon.

I know he tells you when one is coming but it's totally random so I'm looking at a lot of bonfire spamming.
Though I do have a theory on how to trigger it.
I've had blood moons trigger almost instantly when a lot of lynels have been wiped on the map, I noticed this when I was getting the materials to 4 star my barbarian set
Gonna give that a shot tomorrow
Finally beat the main campaign at 55+ hours. The ending didn't leave as much of an impact as some other Zeldas, but the journey was fantastic.

This was a damn fine game. Congratulations, Nintendo on the commercial and critical success of this latest Zelda. BotW deserves it.

I can't imagine it taking more than 10-15 minutes to make one appear with that approach. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I guess I could try just camping till noon -> asking him about the moon -> camping till noon -> asking again until he says BLOOD MOON TONIGHT FELLOW STALKER! and then go, but from my experience blood moons don't just trigger from sleeping a lot, they seem to trigger when the open world has been "emptied" enough. If that makes sense.

That makes sense. Probably so the game doesn't start having memory issues and become like the PS3 version of Skyrim after 20+ hours lol
