aaaah. It's the fact that he jumps even when you hold that threw me off. Thank you very much!
Keep talking to him, it's perhaps slightly less dark than you think.
They were his horses.
I'm still looking for an answer to this question. I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks.
Ha yeah. Still.
Goron Divine Beast Quest question:
EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out.
How do you get past the second sentry when going up Death Mountain? It doesn't move and I don't really want to waste the 30 ice arrows I have (because I ran out of normal ones) taking it down (if that even works).
EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out.
Spotted the boulders above the thing you had to push onto it to pass.
The lack of aesthetics isn't even necessarily a bad thing. In fact now I'm wondering if isn't a reason I like the shrines. After exploring and taking in all the sights of the overworld, the shrines almost feel like home in a way. I know I at least like hearing the music (it's a good throwback to Zelda 1 dungeon theme).
The only shrines I really don't like are the ones where I walk in and it says
I already accomplished the shrine by arriving there. 
Finally getting around to playing this after finishing Horizon: ZD. Playing on Wii U, btw.
First impression, I love how you can approach combat in a lot of different ways, once you get through the initial opening bits of the game. It's a lot of fun trying out all the different tools at your disposal. The openness of the game is great.
Other stuff, I really don't care for. Framerate is pretty shit in parts on Wii U for sure, but still playable. The biggest problems, IMO, is their imposing real-world ideals into the game world. It just doesn't jell, and leads to frustration. I find myself sitting around a lot, waiting for the rain to stop, or running back to a fire to cook up a recipe so I don't freeze to death. Also, weapons break so fast that it doesn't make any sense. Do enemies weapons ever break during a fight? Seems logical that they would, but I've yet to see it happen. It takes the fun out of the combat for me. I'm fumbling with the controls still, so that makes even more frustrating. Speaking of which...
Nintendo really needs to allow you to remap controls, or at least make more logical choices for button placements. Had the ability to switch jump not be implemented, I might have abandoned the game. It seriously makes zero sense. And, I hate using the Pro controller, as the button layout, quite frankly sucks. Meh. Still, it's leaps and bounds better than the shitty gamepad (which btw blows my mind that they left some required use of it in Shrines -_-)
I definitely miss bits of Horizon, especially combat flow, but I'm intrigued by the little touches that keep popping up in Zelda. Looking forward to pushing deeper into the game!

Get pass the sentry alone leaving your goron friend behind, at some point you will find some metal boxes and you can use those to hit and kill the sentries using magnesis. Clear the whole path that way. Also remember to use the cannons to hit the divine beast along the way, I made the mistake of getting to the end of the path without doing it and had to backtrack.
Are you using the pro hud? in the regular hud there is a wheater forecast, so you can tell if its going to rain ahead of time and make a fire to skip a few hours, you dont even need to look for cover to make the fire if it hasnt started to rain yet. Its not ideal but its something.

Ok so
is stupid. Once I get it to halfway health, we go back to old zelda tropes of 'figure out the one thing the game designer is thinking to inflict damage'. Even the woman talking to me has tried giving me three hints - all of which make no fucking sense.
Google time I guess.
E: Oh man that is so dumb.
Bad boss.
Thunderblight Gannon boss
Google time I guess.
E: Oh man that is so dumb.
if electrictiy hurts it, then why don't my electricity arrows hurt it
Theres code for a majora and skyward sword amiibo in BoTW. So yeah probably soon.
Which part are you stuck on?
She directly told me to do the thing when I took to long. Same thing happened in other fight were the npc tried to give me hints and then just gave me the answer.
Edit: Your super small shock arrows are nothing compared to the thunder he summons.
I think once people actually learn how to optimize their fights (it's not hard... I have a video where I kill something in 1 swing and an arrow as opposed to mashing a button 10 times), they will realize that the actual issue is not the weapons breaking too fast, but that you're getting too many weapons and the inventory management in the game is kinda awful and I've been constantly in a position where I have to pop in to the menus and see which weapon I want to drop in order to get the new thing.
And like... this is even after upgrading my inventory several times. I'm at a point where the cost of going further is actually pretty steep and not necessarily something I can just do now.

It was the
Throw the stupid stone things at it
But actually, you can
just hold it near and the shock hits him, so I still don't get why the arrows don't hurt him...
I really don't like there only being one option - I thought we were passed that shit in Zelda.
Not trying to start a debacle. Should have said traditional dungeons. My bad.
And I liked them but not as much as some of the best dungeons in other Zelda games.
Having some trouble finding a shrine. I'm in the far northwest of Hebra, right near the edge of the map and near another shrine actually, but my Shrine sensor is going of like crazy and for the life of me I can't figure out why. I've gone to some of the mountains to the south and haven't seen anything unusual.
There's a
nearby which I killed, but that didn't do anything. Is there some shrine quest I should know about?
There's a

So I just randomly discovered a village
that I had no idea was in the game. After 85 hours. How big is this game omg.
(Lurelin)
Goddammit, talk about an immersion breaker when I had to to (Goron Divine Beast spoiler)
teleport out of the divine beast to some random stable, pay Beedle for some arrows, and teleport back just to open a damned door. Why the game refuses to drop regular-ass arrows when you need them is beyond me.
I was able to find them all on my own? I feel like you just missed something, not that the game was at fault.

You should never be entering any shrine or Divine Beast with less than 50 arrows. Heck, you should never have less than 50 arrows, period.
I know, I'm gonna start stockpiling them now. What would you say is the best place to farm arrows?
Yes
Man after over 100 hours I finally figured out how to activate the circle of lilies. God dammit.

Stand at a place that doesn't look special. Turn the dials on the map to the right spot. BUT WAIT! Make sure electricity is flowing to the right spot before you even go the spot that doesn't look special. While you're waiting outside... go up the ramp! Just annoying as heck. I would've eventually figured it out... several years from now.

There's a minigame
west of Highland Stable and Harfin Valley, near Papetto Grove
buy 100 arrows for a pretty low price

There is? Huh, I've explored that place quite thoroughly. What is it?

Just beat Ganon. Total playtime is around 40 or so hours. Amazing game.
I agree that it wasn't as obvious as it should have been, but after noticing the electricity I was able to figure out what to do from there with 10-15 more minutes of messing around.

hahahaha, Same here man, I had the same reaction as you!
Yeah, I used a walkthrough for that dungeon as well. I had enough of that shit.

Over 85 hours into the game and still discovering new ways to get Korok seeds.

Read my edited post. It's west of that area. I goofed, sorry.

Just finished a ~6 hour session, gonna take a break and jump back in later.
I've been mostly ignoring shrines, so I'm actively looking for them now in order to complete the first row of hearts. One more to go!

I'm trying not to use any walkthroughs in this game, it's resulted in only slightly more annoyance than I would have dealt with otherwise.

Yep. Its been cool how many new things I'm still discovering even after beating the main story. But finding an entire village that I had no knowledge of has blown my mind a little.
Ah, I tried that but was pretty crap at it so I didn't go any further. I'll try it out, thanks!
Need help, been trying for an hour to get a
Farosh horn. Every time I shoot him in the horn and it glows and flies off and then it's a Farosh's Scale wtf. I've watched YouTube videos and I'm hitting the same exact spot but I'm getting nothing but scales. Am I missing something? Getting pretty frustrated.

This literally happened to me today. Can't get over how big it is and the fact that I've already spent 65 hours in it, beaten the main quest, and I'm still finding new things everyday!
Nintendo went nuts with the koroks seeds, someone should've stoped them at some point, lol

I'd do the former since

It's entirely an irrational dilemma to have but I just get like that some times.

go to The Lost Woods now, retrieve the Master Sword and see the Deku Tree
head to Gerudo to finish off the last divine beast.
I'd do the former since
I've got 77 Korok Seeds burning a hole in my inventory and I want to upgrade my weapon slots
it wouldn't feel right getting the Master Sword so long before I go and take on the castle.

Just finished it with 50 shrine down and all of the

That was a heck of a finale. Visually spectacular, and even a little bit touching.

I was in a similar situation. I
retrieved the Master Sword and refused to use it until getting to Hyrule Castle, after completing the final Divine Beast and wrapping up other loose ends
Jesus. What is wing with me? I'm 75 hours in with less than half the map explored and only two beasts.
