No. At 120 shrines, I got 3 hearts short of 2 rows of hearts and 3 full stamina wheels. I'm not sure if that's the limit on each.

I'm close to 100 hours in this game. My brother just started it over the weekend - and, while watching him play, for the first time I saw a Moblin pick up a Bokoblin and throw it at Link haha.
This game, man.
This game, man.
You hadn't beaten the one in
Hyrule Castle
Shoot them with Ancient Arrows! It solves all problems.
Real answer:
No_________________________________.
You can always beat the game to see how it ends and then continue afterwards. It puts a star on your file, but you start back up right before the last area.
I thought I'd feel discouraged after seeing the credits roll last night, but all I want to do today is hop back in!

You use gems for some gear (clothes) upgrades and some jewelry at Gerudo town. Keep topazes to upgrade amiibo clothes.

I dont know how people can only have 70 shrines done when they have 200 Koruk seeds. I only have 40 seeds and have already done 60 shrines.

Do you NEED the rupees? The amount of rupees you could make selling the gems you may need later, you could make in 30 minutes of snow bowling.

Right, it almost feels like the main quest is a side quest and the exploring and small secrets is the main thing
lol you didn't need math, there is a zero next to the orb icon

I was going by shrine count and didn't even notice the zero by the orb count lol

So I'm in Gerudo Desert, specifically on the edge of Toruma Dunes. There's a Molduga down below, however before I jump down and fight it, I've noticed two curious flames right on the cliff edge. Do they represent anything? They're way too weirdly placed in the middle of nowhere to just be scenery :S
(the flames are lit on a candle-like pedestal - the floor isn't on fire as I may have unintentionally implied)

Stumbled upon my first real deal Guardian last night after ~30-35 hours.
I panicked but somehow managed to parry his beam attack 3 times in a row and kill him. Felt like such a fucking boss I had to put the controller down for a few minutes. Actually gasped out loud after the first parry.

I think the max level of enemy you can face is what goes up over time. I just found my first Silver Bokoblin after beating the fourth divine beast, but it was on the Great Plateau and chilling around a campfire with two red bokoblins and a third red bokoblin on a lookout post. They don't evolve uniformly, but some are possibly set as "officers" or something like that, and those will appear as the strongest version the game thinks you can face.
I'll see if i encounter more blue or black enemies anymore, or if it's all just red-to-silver now.

Doing a boatload of cooking in this game, it's a bit sad that trying to be creative with cooking is mostly punishing rather than rewarding. For example, cooking radishes with almost anything (except for more radishes) will result in a much worse dish in terms of stats. It's really like that for most ingredients - for most things, shoving 5 of those same things into a pot yields vastly better results than combining five different things in almost every circumstance.

Yup that region rules. So many fun quests and interesting landmarks.
30 hearts and 3 wheels, so you get 23 hearts from Spirit Orbs, and you get 2 wheels (or 10 wheel-slices) from spirit orbs. So you need 92 shrines to get all hearts, and you need 40 shrines to get max stamina, for 132 needed out of 120 actual shrines.
The assumption is DLC will add at least 12 shrines for this reason.

Bummer. Had I known that I wouldn't have picked stamina for the last upgrade I did. Being one shy of full is going to drive my OCD nuts.

guardiands are kinda strange in the game...battling them by normal means it's extremely difficult and usually if they hit you once it's game over since they just get on top of you and while you recover they have already charged another beam...but at the same time once you get the timing down (that thank god is nowhere as forgiving as the counter in wind waker and takes actual practice),fighting one guardian is almost safe...but everything falls apart he moment two of those things are in the same zone,then it's either flee or game over
i can't decide if they are balanced really well or not at all....
You can change your choice at a statue in Hateno
Edit: Tbh tho, full stam is the way to go + 3 temp hearts.
I agree. It's kind of nice to
sit at a campfire waiting for them, but the actual process of waiting for them to come out and then picking up their item is pretty tedious.
Yep. Fully upgrading the
Cap, Tunic, and Trousers of the Wild
That
music though 😱. Also, I'm having a hard time
Molduga
defeating them using the Sand Seals. What's the best strategy? I always just resort to letting them hit me on foot so they can jump out of the sand and then opening the paraglider, pulling out my Lynel Bow and blasting them midair with Bomb Arrows.

They're also putting in a dungeon. If you get a heart at the end of that, then maybe it'll be 8 shrines. Or maybe they do 13 to get 2 hearts and a stamina wheel. Or maybe they don't add any shrines.

Two guardians isn't impossible. You should be able to make use of stasis + and positioning to only have to really be dealing with one laser at a time. They're far from easy, but not impossible either.
I doubt I could deal with 3 if the situation arose though.
Linkstrikesback
Member
I found Molduga are easier to deal with on foot.
Hints in increasing spoilerishness.
They can't see you when underground. Only hear movements on the sand
Do you have anything else that would move on the ground that you could lure them with?
Molduga dislike smoke.
Throw a circular bomb in the moldugas general direction, let it roll, the molduga will try and eat it. Blow it up while it does to cause a fair amount of damage and stun it for a short time.

strategy,don't look if you don't wanna spoilers.
get on a place which is not sand (a rock is ok),throw a bomb in the sand,the monster will go and eat it,explode the bomb in its stomach and then attack while it's unconscious ion the ground,rinse and repeat
Justzisguyukno

My strategy:
Stay on high land and toss bombs in the sand, flipping between the two types as needed to get it's attention. Once it attacks the bomb you set it off so it flails around, then melee it a bit. Rinse/Repeat
Ever watch the movie
Tremors with Kevin Bacon?
Man, hooked it up to my brother's TV and Zelda was smooth. It wasn't choppy looking like on my tv or monitor. That motion smoothing rate 240hz whatever thingy actually made Zelda look like it was running at 60fps until the frame rate drop hits. But I was actually surprised. It didn't feel laggy either. Not enough to notice. Only thing was, it made the game look like it's sped up a smidge. It was weird.

I literally just used Bomb Runes, swapping back and forth quickly between them. I know it would be quicker to use arrows, but those things are damage sponges and I didn't want to use limited resources on them.
And don't forget the Cave of Trials. Maybe it'll have a heart container waiting for you at the end as well.
Second divine beast down,
one. That... that wasnt very good was it? Certainly not compared to the

Hopefully the remaining two are better. A question:
I have 13 hearts now, should I just go get the

Yeah, I'd go get it. Once you're there they'll give you the quest. Getting it now will also help conserve your other weapons while you use it.
sweet. You know, Ive been fine with these whole weapon brekaing thing, but when you get these special rewards its pretty shit that they can break like any other weapon. I know you can make new ones but the hassle, mweh. Why not just let you repair them or something. Dunno, makes them feel less special I guess.

I'm not sure what I should do in this game. I'm following the main missions and did a few side ones, but should I be shrine hunting? It's so damn open!!! Lol

Is my game glitched?
I've been trying to get a scale from the dragon, but when I shoot it my arrows go right through. Also, the gusts of wind don't show up and it doesn't attack me with lightning. It worked a few times before, but suddenly stopped working.
Also, I had 3 blood moons in one fucking day.

Thanks to a fortuitous falling star, I now have
fully upgraded sets, plus individual items like
I've also collected all of the
, so in total I'm sitting on 59 pieces of gear without scanning any of my Amiibo figures yet.
I haven't looked anything up, but I would be very surprised if there were any full sets left to discover (though with this game, you never know; it seems to have more of everything than you think). That said, I know I'm missing individual pieces like
, which I think I saw a hint for in-game but forgot about until I was reminded by a spoiler in this thread. I expect I'm missing several other individual articles along those lines.
Probably buying up the rest of the weapons in the Compendium, since I have more than enough cash, and then I think I'm finally ready to hit Ganon. There are still a handful of things in the game I know I haven't done yet, though, like
,
, and high benchmarks on several of the minigames. Several NPCs I've talked to hint at undiscovered side-quest stories as well. But those can wait.
8 and a dungeon is my thinking as well—although it's almost too bad, because even in the base game as it is, as you start to fill up your heart count you also have less of a buffer for Hearty food (which can't take you beyond 30 total no matter how powerful it is). And at least one mechanic in the game that depends on full hearts (
) works as long as your base hearts are filled up, so the larger a Hearty buff you have, the more damage you can take before it stops functioning. I find that I already miss that with all the shrines complete, though I know I have the option of selling them off if I really want to load up and food and use that mechanic everywhere.

The repeated blood moons are definitely a glitch. Hard reset your console to fix it. Might also fix the dragon weirdness.

The Blood Moon glitch settles down as you play even if you don't reset. I strongly suspect that it's related to spending Blood Moon nights in areas that are zoned apart from the overworld and display the visual effect without triggering the respawn while you're still there (namely,
