It rains more in some places than others. There's also one zone
Zora's Domain

it's definitely more frequent in some places, but yes it's a problem since it stops you from doing many things... they should have made so that you can craft suction cups with, I don't know, octorok tentacles and chuchu jelly that makes you climb during rain too
Well, it helps everybody max up their slots without having to find every last one.
I think the pockets go 17-25-35-45-55 on the last few slots
What makes it glow? (I've had it for a while now, and only had it glow on me once)
Buried shrines don't activate the sensor. So for many shrines you will have to hope you find the unlock conditions more than the actual shrines themselves.
I didn't feel like burning hours retreading areas, so I just looked up a map for the last dozen shrines or so. Pretty much all of them were buried shrines.
There are a few areas where it is programmed to rain constantly. However after said story event is cleared the rain will stop.
vs Guardians
Inside the Divine Beasts
Inside Hyrule Castle
Does anyone know if durability is also affected by the sword glowing? I swear I was using it almost non-stop last in
Hyrule Castle

Once you beat Ganon, your save file will be tagged with a star and you'll be reverted back to the area immediately outside of where the Ganon fight begins. Make sure and take pictures of Ganon if completing the compendium is your thing.

STOP FUCKING RAINING OMG
AND I FUCKING CANT BECAUSE THE GOD DAMN RAIN FOR 15 MINUTES
They've gotta patch this shit.
trying to unlock the shrine with the lightning rod

Doh.
Without fail everytime you wait around an area for the rain to stop so you can climb something it never stops.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Ah, good to know there's a set Seed Cap to shoot for without getting every single one---max out my inventory slots and I'm "done" with that.
But yeah, the intent of more than you need works out so everyone can look for different ones while everyone gets the same (useful) reward in the end without getting all of them.

yo im way past the "always rains" part, im like 60 hours in. I just decided to go out and explore for shrines and shit, so when thats your only goal, it gets annoying when it rains every 5 mins and you cant climb. Come on, dont be that guy that cant take just a tiny little criticism in your game, that just bums me out.

Thunder plateau?
Anyone else just have no motivation at all to do 'endgame' stuff?
There's another 40 shrines I could go find, or I could try to collect every armor set and upgrade them, farm Lynels, guardians or rupees... I'm sitting close to 70 hours and kind of want to finish the game and take a break. Maybe I'll return to it later for extra stuff.

Or be the asshole Link who offers the apples to get the seed, then takes all the apples afterwards.

I had no idea about the ember thing. I followed the torches until I couldn't and then I noticed a deer running further into the forest. Followed the path the deer took and made it through

Then throw one at the Korok
It's not like I could know this, I was just offering some friendly advice.
Now do the same in return and don't assume anything else about me.
Speak of the devil...
No, that's why I pick up rocks.

...they are there for density, so you don't have to scour the whole map to max out your inventory

Anyone else think... it will be hard to go back to older Zeldas now that this one embodies the OG Zelda more than any other. I want to play Skyward Sword again but remember all the tedium for the few moments of brilliance. I don't think I can do it after playing BotW.
I mean, you got 70 hours out of it, thats more than most games. Thts more than 2 or 3 most games combined
I think I could easily return to OoT and MM, but not to TP and SS.

It's so weird how fun that mechanic is. When I see the orange for something I haven't taken a picture of yet/or seen I get all excited!
For me it was opposite. The real game began after I completed the main quest.
Yes exactly that shrine. It's amazing to see something so fresh after 80 hours in. That's the beauty of the game's open design.
BOTW is my first Zelda and I am seriously considering it for my GOAT game.
I'm screwed for going back to the classic Zeldas aren't I ><
I saw this and had to try, but you can only underhand lob apples, disappointed.
Just spent a full Wii U gamepad's battery charge yesterday farting around. Got the upgrade bonus for the

, scored a few thousand rupees in gems, retraced my steps through
Where does the time go??
full Sheikah set (so OP)
Tabantha region
Zora's domain and tracked down the Zora Helm.

I decided to replay Ocarina on my 3DS and nope. Still great, but then again that game had little in the tutorial department.
The only thing that bugs is unable to climb everything anymore lol

Oh definitely, I love the game, I actually just feel a bit guilty about not wanting to immediately go do the extra stuff. I think what I'll probably do is focus on finishing the main quest and memories this weekend (only Gerudo and 3 memories left), then take a break for P5 and weave in BotW postgame whenever I feel like it.
Actually the biggest hint the game gives you is a NPC in the
Woodlands Stable

This game is like a dream. Exploring Hyrule is being the best experience I've had in a videogame.
Not only I have been enjoying each hill and each forest during the last 4 weeks, but I have still a long way to go.
I just wanted to share my joy. What a time to be alive.

I'm curious, did you know where to find the
Zora Helm
Man....Time goes by in a flash when you're knee deep in this game. In the course of 2 and a half hours, I had the following adventure:
-
- Started making my way westward for the first time. In 35 hours I had been exploring and completing the entire east side, which still isn't completely done. I discovered the
and defeated the Blue Lynel there. Fucking aye those bastards are tough. It's kinda funny how an enemy found in the overworld is way tougher than any of the real bosses are. They should definitely be classified as Bosses in their own right. The dude cowering outside said that "treasures" awaited whoever killed the beast, so I assume he was talking about the weapons the Lynel dropped. The only chests inside the
I found had arrows and Amber in them.
This game man. What can be said about it. Magnificent.

Explored the entire underside of the Castle, including the Docks, the Lockup, the Library, the Dining Hall, Zelda's bedroom, her and the Kings studies and retrieved the Hylian Shield from the Skeleton Giant. Soooo good.

I dunno about the older Zeldas yet, but it's already made it hard to go back to something like GTAV (a game which I love.) I was playing it last night and walking around the area around Michael's house. I kept trying to jump and glide downhill, or pull out my shield and surf. Ugh.
Because I traversed the world in all sorts of ways, I actually missed around 5 stables after I had finished all the Divine Beasts.
This was a mistake because the stable guys give you loads of useful tips. Then again I did discover most of them myself, but... it was kind of weird going around and realizing that I had missed so many. They must have really wanted me to use a horse more often.
Not at all. I'm really loving BotW but it hasn't surpassed OoT for me as my favourite Zelda.

It glows when you're near anything corrupted by Ganon, namely Ganon himself. the Blights, and the corrupted Guardians.

How many does it take to max out the inventory?
roughly
440
I personally wouldn't bother finding all of the seeds, or even enough to just max out the inventory. I'm having a grand time with just 120 seeds.

Maybe....approach from another angle?
Shrine Spoiler:
Trying to complete the Shrine Quest called 'Gerudo' Tower. It's so hard to aim from the tower, especially considering you have such a short window in which you can do it. The wind makes it even worse. I used a 5x Lynel Bow and spammed over 20 arrows but couldn't do it. Will come back later when I'm more stacked with arrows.

I wonder how many bundles of wood you'd get from cutting down the Great Deku Tree. Hudson would love it!
