Yes, it's that shrine. I just flipped the maze completely upside down and just got it over to the other side with no gates or anything.

This is obviously well intentioned but also really funny, lol.
Yo, my dude, I know you just said your budget is tight but go buy eight games ASAP!
Don't get one of them though because you can play it on the system you said you can't afford or find.
Get on it!!! Do yourself a favor!!! Yeeaaahhhh!!!
I saw somewhere that shrines on the map have a chest icon if you got everything in them, is this correct?
if so, this very first shrine, the Magnisis one or whatever, has no chest icon on the map, I went back in and cant find fuck all in it besides the chest that had the bow. Am I already terrible at this game? ;_;

Yes and yes.
You're not missing out on much. In other words, don't worry too much about it. The chests are mostly there for an extra challenge.
yes im already terrible at it? lol >_<
yeah I cant leave until its finished, ffs. As in my brain wont let me.
The main reward is always the spirit orb. Everything else is just gravy. Some give unique armor with special properties, so there's that. With just about everything in this game being expendable, I can't really think of any shrine reward that's better than what they provide.

Unless a shrine chest has armour then it's just going to be consumable or breakable anyway.
I pretty much refuse to fast travel, and I'm enjoying the game more because of it.
I was near the Plateau once (I have two Beasts down) and decided I finally wanted to go back to Hateno Village and scale
. I passed this up earlier because I didn't feel ready.
Literally 20+ hours later, I'm deep inside
and doing god only knows what and
seems another 20 hours away, lol.

Oftentimes I open a chest and can't take the item because I don't have space. I drop a weapon on the ground, get the chest reward, and drop the chest reward and pick up my original weapon which is almost always better.
It would be nice if the game calculated the bonus based on what you're already carrying.
Try looking up.

I started a new job and have had separation anxiety from Zelda and my Switch.
As I said, I've only had intermittent problems with horses up until this point besides the whole can't summon them from anywhere design choice. That one jump during that one mini game is terrible though, and I don't see how anyone can say otherwise if they have experienced it.
dude Ive been looking everywhere lol. I got the chest up on the balcony, that was obvious. All the youtube videos I see on the shrine dont get anything else either >_>
edit: OH WAIT. is the chest icon next to the NAME of the shrine and not the icon? because I have that lol >_<
That feeling when the game just gives you Star Fragment like candies but stingy with Topaz.
I even got a star fragment when it landed near me when I got the last memory.
Anyway I did the memory quest and I have to say, Zelda voice English voice acting is terrible as it ranges from okay to terrible, especially in the serous moment where her voice simply does not match the tone that the game is trying go for and as a result the actress just comes off as if she's just reading the script but not putting any effort into her acting ability.
I am okay with voice acting in this Zelda game because the story is optional and is a one time affair but I do not want it to be a staple of the series and it should not return for the next Zelda game not without an option to disable them for the people that don't want them.
I also retired the Rito Bow in Link's house after it became badly damaged as I grew attached to it and didn't want to it to break.
The Champion tunic display the numbers which makes it easier for me to keep track of their phase, especially for the last phase as I suck at parrying the laser blast so I just use statais to freeze them to wail at them but the HP number lets me know how aggressive I should be.
Because my strongest weapons are stored at Link's house which I use exclusively for dealing with the Major test of strength shrine, I do not use my regular weapons unless I need to but in that case I just use the Master Sword first before using them.
Bottom line I am not going to put into the effort of having all my weapons breaks just for 3 new weapons that will eventually break later down the line, I did that for the first Major Test of Strength and I lost 4 weapons with 1 entering the "badly damage" state so it was good as dead and I walked out with 3 new weapons.
So that 5 weapons lost for such a little return.
Yeah I have the soft cover version and I have been really loving it, though the Amiibo tunic upgrade requirement are wrong.
No I just rotated it 90 degree anticlockwise, tilt it down so the ball would land on the end of the maze, then quickly tilted it up, rotated back to its original position, tilted down to pick up speed and then at the last minute tilted up to flip the ball over to the runway where it rolled down to its final resting place.
It was much quicker and easier than the upside down method.

Holy fuck don't remind me of that.
It's the only moment of the game that made me stop playing.
That would be a better idea. I think the overworld chests are like that.
Someone said it's 88, but that's a mixed set.
88. Equip head and leg armor that offers 28 def. Then equip a fully upgraded Champion's Tunic that has 32 def.
Thanks, both of you. Guess I need to work on the champion's tunic next.

What's the best headgear that's not the ridiculous Ancient Helm?
Soldier helmet is 28 when maxed out. That's what I have now.
What's wrong with ancient set? I was considering that one next
Soldier's helm and
Cap of the Wild
It looks ugly as heck.
huh...
just grabbed a plank with the magnetism thing to make a bridge to some chests in the middle of some swamp, and then killed a skeleton when his head popped off in combat, so I grabbed it and punted it into said swamp.
This game is alright :3

Haha. You weren't wrong.
I did this too.. wheres his wife?
In Rito Village, neighboring the Chief's house at the top level.
Is your map zoomed in all the way? If you used your pins on towers they'd be off the plateau and so they wouldn't be visible if the map was zoomed in too much.
You use the Shekiah slate to mark the shrines with colors, I think you can mark 5 at a time. Then you can use the map to mark additional places with icons (skull etc).
When you visit the colors marked by the shekiah they automatically get removed.
You probably pinned something far. Try zooming out and you'll see where the other pins are.
Pins get automatically removed once you arrive at the area you pinned.
When you go near them they disappear, that's why I use stamps for everything.

Any time you go to your pin, the colored ones, they disappear.
120 shrines done, had to check a map online to find my last 6. I had the radar turned off for most of my playtime so I gave up at 114 when I didn't want to walk through the entirety of Hyrule again with the radar on. Some of them I actually wouldn't have found even with the radar. I was looking at the map and looking for empty spaces where there could be something, but it turns out some shrines are really close to each other.
. My last shrine was
I'm probably at 120+ hours, closer to 130 and I have a bit of a fatigue right now, but I will come back to do some of the side quests, fight some Lynels and finish my goal of having every armour. I really don't feel like upgrading them all though.
The one next to Gerudo Tower where you have to put luminous stones on a pedestal would have been completely impossible for me to find.
the sand seal race. Not the most optimal final shrine from a gameplay perspective, but it was fitting that the Gerudo clapped for me and called me the new champion.

There's nothing WRONG with it, I just don't like the silly cone helmet.
I was hoping the Diamond Circlet or something might pull through for me. I prefer Link without a hat. :/
The Diamond Circlet may offer the same def of 28 since it has a starting stat of 4, just like the other 2. I haven't fully upgraded it yet so I can't guarantee.

Pretty much any item in the game leveled up enough means, at best, you're only taking one or two hearts of damage per hit.
I stopped caring about the raw defense stat awhile ago when I noticed the clothing I wanted to wear was only hurting me about a half a heart extra on damage taken. I'd rather look the way I want than care about dying, especially since late game it's pretty hard to actually die.

Oh good. I'll give it a go, then.
My favorite headpiece is the Snowquill piece. It might be my default anyway. The defense is so powerful in this game. I'm not sure if you'll ever NEED 88 defense.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's just hard to break my habit of min-maxing.

We all know there are
Shrines by now but I did not think they would be so hard to locate

Yeah, I care more for additional armor benefits more than the defensive numbers. Just giving me better mobility, elemental defense or additional attack power is a much better reason to equip the armor piece.
Edit: Yup, as expected the Diamond Circlet can also go up to 28 def at full upgrade. A bit costly to fully upgrade though.
