Lol, he doesn't give a fuck.
Well, yes, but I didn't know that at the time. But that's just one moment, I just switched out my stamina upgrades for hearts at that one place, did the thing you need the hearts for, and switched it back.
I'm still happy I started with stamina upgrades. Wouldn't have wanted to run around with low stamina for hours just because you need hearts for one little moment, especially since you can easily switch.

So those Radishes, huh. Are they supposed to be rare? Cuz they're really generous.

I still do on occasion. The trailers are epic!
I remember this...though I saw him down the waterfall and thought that jumping on top of him would be ideal. It was the WORSE idea, I was shock till only one quarter of heart left and no stamina...then toss to the river to die!
In order of being increasingly spoilery:
You can move the elephant's trunk up and down in the map. You have to select a trunk position different from its current position and then press "execute."
When moved near as high as it can go, the elephant's trunk sprays water onto the elephant's back (and into the room), which turns the big wheel with the ball inside it.
You can climb onto the outside of the little wheel (the one near the entrance of the room, and the one you cleared) and then from there, you can climb onto the big wheel.

Anyone got some good 3x speed elixir recipes? 4 hot footed frogs and a molduga fin makes one that lasts anywhere between 6 and 11 minutes.

doesn't seem to sell it. Does it only spawn there when my current one breaks? If so, how much does it cost to buy a new one from him?
Also, apparently you can buy the full
sets from him.
Hylian Shield, but Granté
Also, apparently you can buy the full
Rubber, Climber and Barbarian
Or you can challenge yourself and not use them.
But I know what you mean. I kind of like only having to rely on a few recipes. Doesn't overwhelm me and I can sell all my other loot for much-needed cash for quests and such.

This was my game 2 days ago:
Since then I did another divine creature and 5 more shrines. I'm over 60 hours.
How the hell did you get that many Rupees?!

Later in the game 3,000 is small potatoes. There's a thing you're going to want later that costs you 10,000. It's easy to get 5,000 or more with one good hunting trip.

Yeah, same here. When I found out the
4x Hearty Durian + 1x Prime Meat = replenish all hearts +12 temporary hearts
Most of the crafting also becomes useless when you find appropriate clothing and armour (like stealth elixirs becoming irrelevant with the
Sheikah armour
Gerudo Voe armour
But I do love the options though. I'd rather have tons of options that I don't use, than having no options at all.
That's pocket change lol. Sold my gems and I got about 30k. Good thing is you can always spend it on something, unlike previous zelda games.

There's a lot in this game which breaks the systems they put in place once you find out, the game basically becomes far too easy once you know and it makes most items in the game pointless.
Hard mode really needs to mix things up and make every item count for the duration of the game and not just for the first few hours.
Regginator

3000 rupees is a lot for you?
There are stuff you can buy that costs more than double that
You don't even need the meat in that recipe, it adds nothing.
I really enjoy the attack boost foods. It turns a crappy weapon decent, and gets more mileage out of your good weapons. Gear sort of trivializes defensive foods and healing foods after a while, but I think attack foods stay relevant for a lot longer.
A high-level attack food combined with a good 2h weapon lets you
rip through most of a miniboss in one spin attack
You say this... while I have close to 100k rupees. >.>
Once you start spawning Silver enemies, and find the gem merchant who gives you more than market value for gems, money is of no concern or difficulty.

I don't use any boosting foods at all because I feel like it contextualizes my items. I prefer to just have straight-healing recipes so I don't have to micromanage whether I should eat an attack food or a defense food or anything. I tend to cook lots of five or six heart recipes with neutral benefits and consume them arbitrarily.
The only boosting recipes I use is a single cooked Staminoka Bass so I can get another stamina wheel in a do-or-die scenario. But I'll admit I haven't needed one of those since I maxed stamina and can probably be rid of them.

Do you mean the
Gerudo lady in Goron City
she wants to buy 10 diamonds off me for 500 rupees over market price. I'm not sure if I want to fork that over since diamonds are so rare, and getting 500 rupees is relatively easy.
Oh, I do exactly that lol. I keep a few foods handy for most situations, then a bunch of vanilla max heart boosting ones for heals. That way when I enter a fight I can always pause and go "hmm, do I want some more damage or some more defense for this fight?", pop the appropriate food, and then move on to the vanilla healing/max heart boosting stuff to avoid overwriting my buff.
I find the game is pretty generous with how many foods you can carry, so keeping a bunch of situational stuff works out.
I also have a few stamina / speed boosting ones if I'm doing a lot of traveling or climbing.

Yeah, I completely glossed over that.Well they did tell you to get the map.
I got it already. I accidentally went past the first puzzle and didn't have the controls. I did all of them now.

As much as I have issues with this game, and it's far from my favorite zelda, I have put well over 120 hours into it and it never stops being fun. It's almost routine to play a few hours each day, finding something new to find. I have all beasts done, 85 shrines, 260 seeds, some how still have one segment of the map left to uncover.
The game really has grown on me. The desert area has been my favorite, it has some great surprising moments and the best beast and shrines.

Radishes are so op it's great.
Hey guys, over the weekend I caved in and got me a Switch and this game. This is my first Zelda game and I'm liking quite so far, the game seems massive though. So far in I have
. One question though, when looking at the things I cooked it sometimes shows a number under a heart, does this mean that heart represents that amount of hearts when healing? I'm pretty sure it does but I'm not finding any confirmation. Also I need more rupees.
just unlocked my first memory
ohhh stamina upgrades? I'm only three hours in but looking forward to that.
this game really does get into your head. I've been thinking what to do after work all day. I stayed up until 1 AM playing last night and my GF was mad that I was too tired to get up and walk the dogs before work.

I hit 175 hours playtime this weekend, and yet I had two firsts:
I saw Bokoblins kill a pig. I saw this twice this weekend, actually. I'd seen them chasing pigs many, many times before, but I'd never seen them kill one. I actually thought they couldn't, because of how often I'd seen them doing so without success.
And I defeated a Stalnox for the first time. I'd only ever fought one before, and it disappeared at dawn before I could beat it. That was early in the game. And somehow I never saw another for dozens of hours, during which I went everywhere. Never saw one. I saw a huge skeleton lying on the ground this weekend, and it reminded me of that first fight. But it never got up, even though I waited all night. So I warped back to where I saw the first one, so long ago, and fought it.
There should be more of these guys in the game. It's a fun fight! I love how you have to

You don't? Huh, how about that. I always thought the full health refill came from the meat, and that the extra temporary hearts came from the
Hearty Durians
No biggie though, I still have 150x Prime Meat in my inventory.
True, I forgot about increased attack. Those and stamina elixirs are the ones I've used the most. I haven't even touched defence elixirs and other ones, not that I can think of. There was one time that I crafted two fire-proof elixirs so I could get to Death Mountain, but I quickly had no use for them after
trading the 10x Fireproof Lizards for the Flamebreaker Armor

I have a question regarding gems. I think I am 10+ hours in now, haven't check officially, about to start my first

but not sure if I should hold onto them or sell them now.

Appreciate the help.
Divine Beast Section with the Elephant
let me trade in 10 luminous gems for a diamond gem (or is it 500 rupees? I can't remember, at work atm)
rare armor later on in the game
I'd like to buy the expensive armor in the Kakariko Village and
buy the house for 3,000 rupees
Appreciate the help.
funny, i stay lean in rupees and it's all in inventory for me....there's really no need to ever accumulate that much
Are you talking about the random people who give you money for them (like 10 of them at a time or whatever) or which merchants? I never really looked too much into them. Also impressive numbers nonetheless lol

You're like me. I have some "level ups" sitting in escrow. I didn't a mix of hearts and stamina though. Currently sitting at 12 hearts and two complete stamina wheels with 9 spirit orbs just sitting there waiting for me to pray to a goddess statue. After my 13th heart, I'm going to max out my stamina.This was my game 2 days ago:
Since then I did another divine creature and 5 more shrines. I'm over 60 hours.
Edit: Actually, my maths were wrong, you spent all your spirit orbs on stamina.
So, I finally beat the game and I have to say
I was disappointed in the final boss being so easy and only mildly disappointed in story (it's been light all game so I didn't expect too much here only a little bit more than what we got). I also was disappointed in the end credits music - probably the weakest of any major Nintendo game so far, but to be fair, that also matched the rest of the game having weak music.

You can craft some gear with the gems, or upgrade the gear you have, but honestly, I'd just sell half your gems. It's what I always do, just in case.
As for the 10x luminous gems for 1 diamond trade by
that guy in Zora's Domain
Gems just aren't rare once you hit silver enemies. It just starts raining various ores, lol.
And yes that lady.
Very cool to hear. Something I saw for the first time were a swarm of bats fly threw trees on a hill and as they past through the trees they knocked a bunch of apples to the ground. Interesting to see the nature dynamics at work.

Finished the last divine beast I had left to do today and got all the memories, now to decide what to do next (
). The obvious choice is Ganon but I don't want the game to end, I feel there's so much more I have left to see. I think I'm going to try to do all the shrines first, I've got around 70 so far.
It's so good!
I shamelessly admit I looked up the location of the one in the castle because I didn't want to actually do the castle just yet
It's so good!
how about you use the landmarks like the duelling peaks and the castle for reference.

There's a Gerudo in Goron City who pays higher than market value for Gems. I believe every ingame day she has a new offer.

Ah ok, that helps. Thanks for the suggestions. Until recently, I have felt very light on rupees since I haven't sold a single gem, that would explain why.

This is helpful in Hyrule field.
Not so much in the mountains of Hebra or the Gerudo Desert or the jungles of south Faron.
I know that there is a certain charm in navigating via landmarks and it can be done much more easily in Zelda than in other games, but the compass is the sole reason I don't use pro mode anymore. Everything else is useless clutter. The compass, for me, is essential.
I wouldn't even need the minimap. Just give me the compass with the weather forecast in the middle or something.
I think I've been fighting silver enemies for a while now. I better check my gems.
On a totally unrelated note, is there something I can do about
those two idiots looking for truffles outside Hateno Village? I'm always saving their asses every time I go by there, and they always go "whew, thanks! time to go back to looking for truffles!!!" and I'm like good fucking god you two.
I've actually dropped truffles next to them in an attempt to get them to stop but it doesn't do anything. Bombing the tree they're searching doesn't work either.

You can only max out either hearts or stamina, not both.
