This is nothing but a pie in the sky theory, but is the Ancient Tree Stump possibly meant to be the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina? There isn't much there to suggest so except a

I think

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.

I defintely need more slots in my inventory though. I do not have enough space for weapons, shields, and bows.

Shrine Spoiler:

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.

If you want to know what you're doing wrong:

Spoiler

Shoot from the Shrine spot, not from the tower.

I wasted many arrows trying your method too.

I don't know the Tree Stump you're talking about, but (possibly spoilers for you)

Spoiler

the Great Deku Tree is actually in this game, and I always figured it's always the same Tree. Might be wrong though.

Wait, I just remembered a new tree was born after the first one died in Ocarina. Man it's been too long for me with some of these games.

 

[theechrisfox]

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.

Not really. I beat the final boss man a few days ago and have still been playing a lot without much purpose other than finding shrines and koroks in the big world. I have a lot more fun fighting enemies now that I have a ton of weapons (and slots to hold them), and feel basically indestructible with upgraded armor and full repertoire of

I'm surprised there's so many complaints about the rain. You can still climb a good amount by jumping just before you slide and at worst you'll need to circle around a bit or go in a different direction. It's only really limiting at the start with the low stamina and no climbing gear or other methods to climb like

zora armor

Is there a vendor which sells honey comb? Trying to find them on trees is taking ages.

Damn, this makes things easier. I thought the Quest said something like: 'An arrow from the sky'. Nevertheless, I found a bit strange how Kass was at the plank playing his Accordion since that would be the perfect spot for shooting. Guess I will go back there later and repeat it. Thank you for the tip.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Holy shit so in order to properly dodge attacks I need to jump back horizontal attacks and to the side for vertical. No wonder it was never working for me before.

Also, that

is annoying and I'm pretty sure it messes up my blocks/furry attack timing.

Revali's Gale

+ climbing gear + full stamina = brute force any cliffs even when it rains. But even before that it never really bothered me. I like how brutal the rain is in this game, how soaked everything is. Plus it's really dynamic so looking for places that are sheltered from the rain to make a fire is actually cool.

You can disable it on the menu. It's a free parry anyway.

Finally got 120 shrines, I think I'm at 150 Korok things too, but I'm done with the game now. I'm just not having fun with the exploration part, and I've got no motivation to do the remaining seed padding stuff.

At the end of the day, the player/world mechanics were great but the game could have been a little more focused, too much of the same shit.

I'll be back for the DLC but I can't see myself replaying the game from scratch due to the padding.

Damn, if it's only that many I might as well go all the way. I'm sitting around 230 seeds already and haven't even hit 100 shrines.

Idk why but finding these korok seeds is really enjoyable for me. It's not the most useful reward but it gives a reason to get out and explore.

Why in the world does this game not have multiple save files like every other Zelda game beforehand? People are doing really cool challenge runs, and I'd like to do so too- like a Nuzlocke or something- but not at the expense of my original progress. Now I know how people down on weapon durability feel. x.x

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

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

I get that and I didn't mean it negatively, I was genuinely just asking if they had any other purpose.

It's not ideal, but you can create a second profile and use that. It is annoying, though.

They're everywhere. I have 6,000 rupees at the moment and most of them came from there.

The rain thing is odd because every other weather element (cold, heat, extreme heat, lighting) has at least one counter. What's odd is an NPC explicitly mentions the Sheikah having rain-proof clothing and yet you can't buy such clothing. Almost seems like they had it as an option at some point.

The consensus is getting good at bowling. The second best is becoming a Goron and mine for precious rocks to sell.

Rain does not really harm Link. Complaints stem more from making climbing really hard.

Wood+flint+shelter is sort of a counter for rain.

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

I've never needed to farm for rupees. I just play the game and sell off my excess junk every so often, and I'm good to go.

Unless it's an extremely tall sheer cliff, it's not even that hard to brute force your way up slick surfaces. Climb for four "steps," then jump, and you'll be making net gains that overcome the distance lost by slipping. See where thresholds to regain stamina are. If you have the upgraded climbing set or stamina potions, then it becomes almost trivial.

 

[kunonabi]

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 spent the last 100 hours wanting to play other Zelda games instead so I see no problem going back. I still think botw is the right direction but it needs a ton of things improved on or flat-out rethought.

 

[Thequietone]

Currently have 60,000 rupees. Helps that I have all of the armor upgrades besides

Dragon parts and Ancient parts

so I just sell excess monster parts and gems. Before that I just did bowling.

When you build a fire you can fast forward to morning, noon, or night and skip the rain completely.

I don't bother with flint anymore, though. I just keep a fire sword or rod with me at all times
