There are moments where there are no enemies or anything, but those don't last long. I actually appreciate those moments. No urge to go running for the next treasure or running from/to the next fight. Just taking in the scenery.

Quoting myself here, has anybody tried it? Thinking about doing that with my brother actually
This just tickles the "Well these enemies are too tough but fuck it I'm persistent" itch I had with Dark Souls
If you have a
shield
perfect parry

Like playing an fps in multiplayer (PC), where one person controls the mouse and the other the keyboard.
The AI in this game is just so damn good it hurts my balls.
Drop a bomb on an orange Bokoblin and they pick it up like dumbasses. Higher level Black/Silver bokos just kick that shit back at you or dodge it outright. The same enemy types have different levels of awareness based on level.
So dope.

I have over 100 hours in game and still finding out stuff. I just cant seem to put this game down.
It's in Gerudo Highlands. I also thought the mountains surrounding the great hyrule forest makes that region really spread out thin.

Yea, the Gerudo Highlands it feels like they just sort of forgot it was there and then remembered and threw a bunch of stuff there.
The shrine isn't even hidden or anything. It's just sitting there. And it's a test of strength shrine, so they didn't even need to design anything.

109 shrines down. About to hit the very last Memory, wrap up Shrines, and then save my battle with Ganon for this weekend so my 8 year old daughter, who has been heavily invested in my playthrough, and I can end these characters' suffering (hopefully).
I expect to be done with shrines tonight and will hopefully use Thursday and Friday to go hunt some Lynels which I have yet to take on head-to-head.

Also, if you have (any) Zelda amiibo, its a drop. Keep spamming and reloading until you get the drop

I was thinking slingshots.
Get behind the castle (on the island itself though). when you're facing the castle, you're going to start treking to the right! You'll to the right of the castle (or left if facing it from front) is a tower that sits on the edges of the island. Climb it. There should be a guardian cannon type thingy there. Just kill it. Now, look towards the castle. Diretly in front of you, above on higher grounds, is another tower. That's where Zelda's study is. You'll see one of the flying guardians circling it.

There is nothing in the game tied to beating the final boss. Get it beforehand.
oof. that kinda sucks, man. I don't have any amiibos either, but I kinda want some of the amiibo's in the future, so we'll see.
That'd be pretty cool too, fire some nuts
Not much different from the bow though.
The enemies around the castle are far more dangerous than the boss itself. You can get it if you sneak around.

The poster in post i linked details where to locate them in-game.

Well it turns out Fast RMX isn't actually very good. Back to Zelda I guess.
You need to pick them up where they land. It should illuminate with a yellow light. What I do is see where they land and then pin it on the map so I know where it is.

Damn I completly forgot about slingshots...what other "typical" items are missing...then lantern and bottles but other than that most typical ones are in
I mean, I read the post, but that still looks to be fairly time consuming and RNG reliant after you have gotten the guaranteed drops from chests etc
yeah I was aware, just wondered if there was a faster way since it's fairly time consuming going around looking for these

The thing about the lantern and slingshot is they're redundant in BOTW. You get a bow almost immediately, which typically replaced the slingshot. The effect of carrying a source of fire is instead done by lighting wooden weapons.

The torch replaced the lantern and bottles are automatically given to you when you need them for home made potions.
There isn't really a need for either of them in this game.

I'm convinced my Amiibo love my GF more than me. She's gotten a bunch of the unique clothes and weapons, and I've gotten....Epona.
Last night "ooooh a sword I need one of those!" and I see her putting down the Ganon Amiibo, and I look up to see the Sword of the Seven Sages.

I know, I just realized that about the slingshots...the other stuff was always a pain in the ass actually. you could cut grass and get laods of rupees but the Hyrule only had 6 bottles....yeah....for sure

A lantern would be useful for when you don't have an immediate fire source, I guess. I didn't notice it's absence, but it isn't entirely redundant.
Fuck the slingshot, though. It never had any functionality the bow didn't, it was just a bow for babbies.
Do they stay there "forever"?

This! Also being able to hit a black smith or sharpen weapons.

Does killing mini-bosses count towards percentage completion? E.g. Hinox and Talus.

If you kill each instance of a particular type of mini-boss at least once, you get a medal for it.
I think it's to do with this - when you have no weapons and need something to attack the goblins. You get twigs right? Especially at the start of the game.
If they're a weapon (and take up weapon slots) as opposed to a resource that goes up to 999 in your inventory then people would really fucking hate the weapon management system with all their slots taken up by tree branches.
Not the most well thought out design.
They could have let the twigs stack as a weapon (not damage, just the number you have)...but then nothing else does, might be a tad confusing though I wouldn't have minded.
Yeah... I still want that after 65 hours into the game. I'm getting better weapons but there are things I just want to keep.

Thanks.
I'm 60 hours in and was avoiding them up till now, but I have strong enough weapons that they've become a breeze to fight now.

Oddly, the only miniboss that poses any sort of challenge
- Doesn't count as a miniboss towards rewards for killing minibosses
- Doesn't have his own unique music
The way Lynels are treated in this game is really inconsistent with their design. They're tougher and rarer than the other minibosses and yet get treated as just a regular enemy as far as the game is concerned.

I think that adds to the charm. The Lynels are tough in and of themselves, the reward is the player's satisfaction at beating them. They don't need to be bigged up as bosses.
Very astute of you. I never considered that.
Well when I stumble across a weapon I've never seen before and really dig, like the Sheika giant Katana, I put it on the wall in my house untill I find another lol
Means theres either a cutscene or some sort of fight coming and Im not ready!!! Hence why I can't play horror gams by myself...
^ nah don't worry hah, the game saves constantly! Every 5 minutes, whenever you discover something etc
I do the same thing
Though there are more than 3 weapons that I like!
Kinda wish I had a box to keep stuff at home but I'll settle for maxing out my sword slots first.
They could also have probably let you craft arrows from wood instead of tree branches...but then it's a tad weird that you can't do it from tree branches, which are a kind of funny beginner weapon.

I would have liked them to have had a musical theme, though.
Just finished it.
50 hours 34 minutes. 63 shrines, 49 seeds. Still had 3 or 4 areas of the map to reveal, and only have about 5 memories.
Great game. The castle is a masterclass in atmosphere. I realised that I could

Is that just how many you had left and the end, or your grand total? I feel like you would almost have to actively ignore them to get so few
Typically if the puzzle would take me off the path of where I was going, I didn't pursue it.
