Guys, I dropped the torch the game gave me for the eldin dungeon and can't find it lying on the floor anywhere, and it looks like I'm supposed to light one more torch outside the divine beast. Do I have to go get a torch somewhere else and then come back, or is there some other way to light it?

You just need 2 pieces. If you're low on cash, there's lots of ore around the city. Spend like 20-30 minutes mining and you should have enough for the armor.
if I'm not mistaken you need 2 pieces upgraded to level 2 I could be wrong though.
I hope you realize there are like there variations before it loops again! Laughs all round!
You only need two regular pieces. The second can also be obtained for free if you do the lizard quest.
There are other ways.

It's fine as it is because it carries a penalty of forgoing travel to the point you reached (hardly trivial in this game) and potential rewards from combat, like weapons and enemy parts. But I do agree that fast travel restrictions should be looked at for the forthcoming hard mode. Many of the difficulty bumps that people are clamouring for, like more stringent resource drains, would naturally follow from tighter limits on where and when you can warp out.
I don't actually expect this to happen, though, as I'm sure there are a lot of places on the map where without the option of warping out and with insufficient stamina (either in the baseline bar or in food), the player could get stuck. Not that I've found any, if intentionally dying counts as a way of escaping. In my playing, I've been testing this myself here and therewhether I can get myself into irreversible positions where I must warp outalthough the game is pretty robust when it comes to spawning you up high if you fall into an abyss from a ledge too low for a low-stamina ascent, for instance (like along certain edges of the map).
Nice, I still haven't did that one yet, but I have the whole set anyways.
No New Game +, but the game adds a star to your save to show you've beaten it, and the file loads right before the last fight
I turned off the gyro aim for the bow and now I'm a fucking lethal killer with it. I'm sure some people like the motion aiming but I turned it off and fell in love with the bow. I've spent more money on arrows than I probably should have lol.
There's a sensitivity option in the settings menu too.

That's what I do, I tried to activate as many shrines as possible for fast travel purposes and if I felt like it I went in. Otherwise looked for shrines and towers and if I saw something interesting on the way I checked it out.
I approached Molduga like I do Nibelsnarf in Monster Hunter and the strategy paid off. Too well, unfortunately - I could listen to the phase 2 track forever.Well I did it, I got all 120 shrines. Used a guide for 5 shrines (4 of which were hidden out of sight behind bombable walls >_>) and then left the Kakariko ball shrine for last. The sidequest for that one was actually pretty cool, especially after
I also liked that when I went back to the Rito kid who promised me a reward when I got all shrines, the reward was
Question about the Forgotten Temple:
following around Koko to learn about her mother, now I got to learn more about the father.

a congratulations. That made me laugh so hard.
Question about the Forgotten Temple:
it's totally the Sealed Grounds from Skyward Sword right?
Did you use the gyro aim or try to ignore it, only using the stick?
I wouldn't want to aim without gyro, although I'm forced to when the Wii U's gamepad's battery has run out and I'm switching to the Wii U Pro controller.
Can't speak for the Switch, but the aiming fine control the gyro provides feels so much more natural to me than trying to not overshoot with the stick. I suck at analogue stick aiming and loath it. Always feels like I'm fighting the input method as much as my own incompetence. No excuses with the gyro however.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Truly, no better way to kill time on a 3hr flight.
I'll be the first to admit that I fall in the category of long-time Nintendo fans who would kill for a super powerful system that does away with gimmicks. Every time I play Zelda at home I love it - but I constantly think about how jaggy it is, how I wish it was at least 1080p, the framrate drops, it doesn't look like Horizon, why did I have to buy a $70 controller to enjoy it in its best possible form, etc, etc.
But damn, if playing a game like Breath of the Wild 3,000 feet in the air with super comfortable - each hand resting where they want controls -doesn't make a great case for the hardware. Ocarina of Time was my very first game for my very first home console, and I have only had that same sense of wonderment a handful of times in the last ~18 years. BotW delivers that in spades. And being able to play anywhere? That's pretty damn magical.

The Hylia statue in the Temple of Time doesn't seem big enough to be the one from Skyloft. The one in the Forgotten Temple is much bigger. And the Temple of Time and the Sealed Grounds were in totally different spots in Skyward Sword, it'd be weird for them to suddenly be one and the same.
me too， really hope we can experience it once again with zero spoiler
Like most of people, I guess, I decided that I played enough of the game, and went off to kick some Calamity Ass. I am nowhere near collecting everything but there are other hobbies I'd like to pursue, but as someone who got bored of all 3D GTAs I have tried in a matter of few hours (or minutes in IV) and that enjoyed Just Cause 2 but was never able to advance much in the story, the fact that I spend 149 hours in this game must say something.
I honestly believe this is the best game I ever played, it dethrones LTTP, Chrono Trigger and Xenoblade in my rankings, thanks god that I got XCX a week earlier than this and rushed through it.
Technically it may be flawed and have performance issues but indeed the overall feeling of enjoying a game to this level is the reason it got all those 10s.

ROFL the Gerudo town has been amazing so far.
Regarding the motion control puzzles in certain shrines. When I encountered the very first one, I was playing with the pro controller docked, and it was super easy to solve. Yesterday I ran into another one while on the go without a grip or pro con, and it was a huge pain in the ass. Whether the joycons were connected or detached, it just felt totally off. Today I brought a grip with me and tried that, it was perfect. So yeah, I think that's one part of the game that's tough to play in portable form.
I don't like that I have to keep wearing those clothes inside the city. I'm the hero, dammit, let me in.
Did anybody do the optional chest in the shrine where you gotta golf a ball into a hole over water? I went through a lot of hammers to no avail.
As for the motion control shrines, I found there was a noticeable drift. Strange after Skyward Sword where the tilt puzzles worked perfectly for me.
I dunno if I'd put it over the original Xenoblade but it's a damn fine game.

Pshh, I just want more variants. I can't stand the green in the top. If I could get that in a different color, I'd be set, though what I've got now is cute too.
If you want the answer,
just hit the ball first once with a sword, then five times with a hammer. Z target, and adjust with each swing.

Pretty sure they're using the Amiibo "Action Replay" type device.
Ah, didn't think of that. I was trying to bounce it off stuff lol.
Tossing weapons at enemies is one of my favorite things in this game. It's so impractical to just throw my sword at somebody and have it shatter, but oh so satisfying. And there'll be a bunch of weapons lying around after the battle so why not!
Unless I'm misunderstanding, you know you can dye it, right? Or maybe the green is the part of the top that doesn't change.. if so, my bad!

Or beat him to a sliver of health and pick up his weapon then watch him throw a temper tantrum before I put him out of his misery.
Yeah those really feel like they probably made more sense when this was just a Wii U game.
It's, I have a decent set, but you can't change the middle green chest piece, at least not that I've seen, and the green is the wrong color, so it's really hard to match with the bottoms, which have a different shade of green.

To be completely honest, even though I like them I was fucking pissed my 120th Shrine was a Major Test of Strength and not the badass puzzle Shrine I'd done for the 119th.
1) How is that possible, you can only use the amiibo once a day so it would take you at minimum 3 days, 4 if you want the sword too
2) How is that possible, the Majora's Mask amiibo hasn't been released or even oficially announced yet
As someone who has all the released amiibo outfits by 'legitimate' means: it's a pain in the ass. It took me literally over an hour of scanning and reloading to get the Sword of the Six Sages from Gannondorf. Over 20 minutes to get the Twilight Bow. I still need to get the boomerang from Toon Link and the Bigoron Sword from OoT Link but all the actual costume parts have taken 10-20 minutes of scanning/reloading over 3 days. The weapons are a goddamn nightmare.
System settings, set date to a day later. Only way anyone is able to complete any of the sets, the RNG is so bad on amiibos it took me an hour to finish the TP set.

Once again the desert region is the best designed area in the game from the town to just the entire design of the region. A lot more focused, unique and interesting structures, sidequests, shrine quests, etc.

Kilton wares, clothing sets, slate upgrades:
It was every bit as satisfying as it sounds.
If you've played with the Lizalfos Mask at all, you'll have noticed that Lizalfos in camouflage stay in camouflage and ignore you even if you walk up right next to them. I was short on the yellow tails from the electric ones to finish up my four-star rubber Acme Batsuit, so I linked them to my radar, and ran a circuit around Gerudo Desert with the mask on, dashing as clumsily as I wanted up to every one of these suckers lying about in the sand and landing a Sneakstrike every time, farming about twenty tails in one sitting.
