I know that feeling, playing other games has been hard since finishing this one. I felt the same way after beating Bloodborne.
No spoilers please, but can someone tell me what to do to see different endings/final boss fight stuff? I assume that there are the following: (no real spoilers below, just my guesses)
All memories found, all beasts done
All memories found, not completed all beasts
All beasts, not all memories
Not all beasts, not all memories

Update on this. I just scanned again and got
Epona
all memories = extra scene at the end
You are forced to fight against any ganon blight you didnt beat in dugeons before you fight ganon. At least in my experience the battles were sightly different compared to the ones inside the beasts. Its just like a boss rush, you dont get any rest between each blight and ganon.

Being over 13 hearts it's like you never use healing items, you just finish a new shrine.
also works with 2 shrooms
2 apple and a hearty radish will blow your mind
also works with 2 shrooms
Of course. Check the description of the items, some of them explicity say they will add extra hearts as recovery or even add more hearts on top of your max.
That the order I did too. Glad I did Gerudo last partly cause it ended up being my favorite dungeon, but I thought I would make some parallels to OoT by having that one be last.

talking about cooling, they should have made it so that more complicated dishes or specific recipes gives you more than just slapping meat
I mean it's fun to try new recipes but you don't get many incentives to do so.
and a big heart vegetable and get a full recover + 10 yellow hearts

You can burn them? lol I just ice blocked to get over them. Well atleast the one in the water.
Thanks! That doesn't sound so bad. I thought I might have to try and play through the end multiple times, but I guess I'll just get everything done before going in.
Ok someone tell me what fucking shrine this is.

This game, holy shit lol
Also
calamity Ganon gets zapped by divine beast lasers and has correspondingly reduced health ... he has half health if you beat every divine beast.
Lol reminds me of one in Tomb Raider 2.

Here I'm thinking, "Damn, Leon's gonna die trying to catch Ashley in the armor suit".
I did the dungeons Gerudo>Goron>Zora>Rito. Pretty sure I did them in reverse difficulty order, and not just because I was way stronger by the time I got to the last one.
That shrine was hilarious. What you didn't see:
Don't remember where it was though.

When you get to the top, there's just a lone switch and when you press it the floor falls away and drops you into a huge room full of lava.

lol i just stumbled upon eventide and beat it in 5 minutes
that's like the 10th thing people have jizzed over with this game and then I do it and it's... I feel nothing
i've been having fun just exploring for shrines though
Eventide is challenging if you have five hearts.

Ramble incoming, but frustrated...
I like the game okay but i'm about to drop it, it's a little too repetitive for me i guess? Like all games are repetitive but the lack of characterization from link or leveling like an rpg just makes me feel like link isn't getting much stronger, so i don't feel drive to explore, which makes me just focus on the main quest, which isn't great.
I think I might get a switch down the line once there's a pokemon game for it, then get BotW on it. I don't hate the game, I just feel like I'd enjoy it more in small chunks like I'd play a handheld; console/pc games I generally wanna be able to sit down for hours with, and that usually requires a lot of changes in the hour-to-hour gameplay for me to be interested.
Weirdly, it's a lot like Dark Souls, which I'm also not a huge fan of for similar reasons. Generally, if a game will be more than 20 hours long, I need it to either have a very strong main character [lots of personality/voice acting], a deep RPG leveling up system, or really fast-paced, action-y combat.
I think ultimately my main problem with the game isI can play for four hours and when I stop, I'm not much stronger or better than I was. That lack of progression kills me.
I enjoy it in the moment but an hour after I set the controller down I couldn't tell you with confidence what I even was doing
This is kind of a rant, but TLDR: I think the game is an incredible achievement in open world gameplay, but the lack of really feeling like Link has a strong personality or more RPG systems to develop my playstyle is a buzzkill for me and I might pick the game back up later for cheap when I can buy a Switch.

^ If you can't deal with the possibility of not making progress by embracing the wanderlust, yeah, it's probably not a game you want to try to power through.

Yeah, I really can't deal with that heh, it's kind of a dealbreaker for me, at least for a console game. I feel like I'd have a higher tolerance for it if I was able to play it on the move.
Maybe some DLC plans?

Did any one find this game more enjoyable playing with the guide?
I was in the zora domain last night and when loading the fans started getting really loud, but I was playing in docked mode so idk how hot it was.
Sorry to repost this, but I'm still looking for some answers to these questions. Thanks:
Would you mind just explicitly stating what the hazy light is, or at least how to trigger it? I tried to reach it once but it disappeared and I have no idea how to trigger it again, or where it can even spawn.
Also, how do I get Kilton to (shop spoilers)
That's either one of two things.
It's eitherOr if it's a hazy blue-ish light at the top of mountain it'sa shooting star that fell to the ground, in which case you can go that spot and pick up what's there (it does disappear after a while)....well, just go see it for yourself!

sell the Lizalfos and Lynel masks? When I've visited him he's only carried the Bokoblin and Moblin masks.

Stuck on a terminal in the
Divine Beast. I got 4. There is one right by the entrance and it's behind a door. Been flipping the beast both ways seeing what it is I could find or what power to use. Drawing a blank. Any minor hints?
There is also a chest behind some bars at one of the terminals that I also can't figure out how to open. Very secondary though. All the other terminals in here have been a sinch. This one has me scrambling around for the last 15 minutes.
EDIT: Nevermind. Got the last one

So that flower lady. Is there a way to "finish" it or nothing like that?
Eh - I feel the opposite. There's roughly five progression spheres, right? Runes, weapons, armor, hearts, and stamina. All five can effectively be "leveled up", though a lot of the progression is item-based rather than experience based.
If you want to "level up" your health, for example, complete shrines, and feed the spirit orbs into your heart count. Ditto for stamina. Similarly, the further you get in the game, the stronger the weapons you consistently find, which more or less results in a consistent increase in strength. Runes can be fed and upgraded as well, permanently enhancing your abilities. Likewise, new armor raises your defense stat, as does upgrading it.
Of course, I'm sure you know all this. I'm just trying to frame it the way I see it. It's not an RPG in the sense that there's an experience system - rather, leveling up is accomplished through items discovered in the world, which emphasizes and adds meaning to the game's exploration.

You're definitely right, it just doesn't click for me. I think a big part of it is because I judge character growth mostly by evolution of my moveset. New spells, new attacks, etc, and those feel pretty scarce. Yeah, I get more health and some cool abilities from equipment, but combat never -fundamentally- changes from hour 1 to me. I've mostly taken down every enemy I've fought so far by plinking their weak spot with arrows, dodging, and flurry rushing.
I realize I -can- fight enemies differently than that, but none of the alternatives appeal to me. I don't really get enjoyment from 'creative' kills like hang-glide bombing or setting up elaborate traps. I just wanna do sick combos and get new skills.
I'm not trying to say the game should be like this; I know everyone's not into that and Zelda clearly isn't built for me, and that's fine. Just articularting why it's losing me.

this game should finish downloading in an hour or so. i haven't played a zelda game since ocarina of time 3d came out, anything i should know? i plan on making my way through BotW without any guides unless I get completely stuck somewhere.
Don't know anything. Just go in completely blind and you'll have the best experience.
Its so different to other zelda games. So dont expect a zelda game like those you remember.
Don't explore every inch of the overworld.

Has anybody here done the three hearts challenge?
I tried to go right to the final boss after getting off the plateau but that proved to be more of a challenge than I thought. I got to the boss, but I didn't expect
So I'm off to find better equipment now, plus some fairies and as many arrows as I can buy. But no hearts or stamina upgrade. Should be a fun challenge.

to have to fight all the other bosses first!
