I was like 50 hours into the game before I realized that different bows have different POVs. I started going into first-person at one point and thought my game was bugged.

About 60 shrines, 15 hearts, hours im not sure. I started to see white ones for the first time more but sometimes they are red and blue like normal.
I dislike that zoom. I would prefer the arrows simply have a more gradual arc.
I wish more bows had zoom. I love sniping enemies from really far away, but I haven't found any decent high power bows with zoom.
Granted, even if I did have one I'd probably stick with my Twilight Bow, but still.

My Royal Bow is about to break, and that makes me extremely sad. I know I can't repair items, but can I ever, ever get another one? Is there a way to eventually buy weapons and bows and the like?
There's nothing in this game you can't replace, except the DLC Switch shirt (for some reason).

Royal Bow is pretty common but once you use the Savage Lynel Bow it is difficult to go back to something else.My Royal Bow is about to break, and that makes me extremely sad.

I just got to the Lost Woods last night and Korok Forest. The way I even found this place was just awesome. I was trying to explore Death Mountain, but didn't have any cooked Chillshroom food to stay cool. So I decided to glide to the nearest tower I could see. Got to it, activated it and it was the Woodlands Tower. Saw a pretty field of sakura trees in the distance, and said "I want to go there".
Quick aside: I was exploring earlier in the day and found the jungle region. I was remembering seeing the Master Sword in the trailers and how it was in a wooded area, so I figured maybe it was here, but probably not. I wasn't going out with the purpose of finding it, but it was on my mind.
When I discovered the Woodlands Tower, the Master Sword was back on my brain. I figured it could be here, possibly, but again, I wasn't gunning for it. I glide over to the sakura area and it starts getting foggy. I see weird trees and figure I'm about to get into some sort of swamp. And then it happened. The area title came up and I read it. "Lost Woods". I IMMEDIATELY knew there was an environment puzzle in my future. I saw the braziers and the embers blowing in a direction. My girlfriend was sitting next to me. I said "it's a wind puzzle". I then explained to her how this area is a in a lot of Zelda games and it's almost always some sort of puzzle. Ocarina of Time had music, Twilight Princess had a maze and battles, this time its a wind puzzle. I felt ready and excited. I lit my torch and followed the embers.
After making it through, I didn't really know where it would lead me next. I saw the area title. "Korok Forest". I got excited because I was really happy to see these guys make a return in the trailers. I had a hunch that the Deku Tree was coming up. But then, suddenly, it happened. The Master. Fucking. Sword. Just like that, I stumbled on it. I had no plans on finding it. I was just exploring this incredible world that the devs created for us. I legit just tower hopped for hours, finding shrines and getting orbs. And just like that, I find the sacred blade.
I couldn't pick it up, and I don't really know what I need to do next, but I'm currently going through the Korok Trials. My girlfriend helped me out with the constellation shrine and we both felt really triumphant figuring that one out. This game is just so fucking good and I cannot wait to keep playing.

Zolas were seen in 3D, albeit in a 2D overhead style game, as they were in Phantom Hourglass.
Yo, PH is totally underrated in my opinion. Such a charming game.

Should respawn eventually.
I don't think I ever came across this "first person bow" you all speak of. What's it's name? I've done all shrines, all memories. I'm surprised I haven't bumped into it.
More important question: any tips on looking out for star fragments? I need to start collecting them and random luck is. OT gonna cut it.
Thanks. So, you say it becomes common, like a common drop? Or is there somewhere I can go to buy it?

It becomes a common drop. I think I have 4 in my inventory right now.
I can't stop finding fucking Royal Bows. I don't even want them because Savange Lynel bows are so much better (esp. when they fire 5 shots instead of 3), but basically every Hinox I kill drops one from it's neck.
Golden Bow. first one I found was in the Gerudo Labyrinth, just chilling in some Ganon poison.

Yea Hinoxes are an easy get for Royal Weapons. You can just glide onto their chests and grab them, too. No fight required.
If I had seen redead on the completly black forest I would had run to turn off my wii U lol That place is creepy as can be...adding those things there would completly make it a nightmare just by their sound!
I saw a video where you can climb on the backside of a mountain in Hebra, but not in Death Mountain.

Which Lynel is the one in the Colosseum? It wasn't an easy one but I don't think it was the hard one?
Also, when I upgrade the Barbarian Armor does it also upgrade the strength up value?

No, the whole game is pretty much like that. There are a limited amount of them but don't expect anything worthwhile as far as those two elements go. Just enjoy everything else.
It varies.
Oh! I had no idea those things from the older games were called Hinoxes. That's really cool! Lynels I recognized the names for right away.Yeah, both Hinox and Lynels are 2D Zelda enemies that make their first appearance in a 3D game:
http://zelda.gamepedia.com/Hinox
http://zelda.gamepedia.com/Lynel
Lynels go back to the original NES Zelda.
Hinoxes first appeared in A Link to the Past.
Both really good updates. Lynels in particular had always been terrifying and they did a great job with, but the new Hinox is also really cool.

Phrenic Bow also, I've had a couple of those from earlier on in the game. Great for sniping off pieces of
the dragons
The strength up effect doesn't increase, but at 2 stars you'll get a set bonus that reduces the stamina you spend on charge attacks. Also upgrading the defense on it is just a great idea in general because you use it exclusively for combat.
Receive in stock alert. Frantically pull up the site. Add it to cart. Press checkout and get an error.
Every. Single. Time.
Still shows as available too. Pretty sure they are just driving traffic to their site at this point.
Thanks for the info! Yeah, this is just a touch north from some small ruins on the East Side of Death Mountain, in Akkala, kind of just West of Shadow Pass. (BTW, there is some neat stuff around those slopes.)
We took some screen caps so I will share those this evening if anyone is interested.
NW of Death Mountain and then just a small bit further west for the second one, right? By the East Deplian Badlands. We couldn't take care of either of those fights yet, a bit too difficult. Minor intentionally vague spoilers regarding this area:
There is a small point of interest between the two Lynels, IIRC, and then east of that first Lynel there is something very cool if you haven't seen it yet. We were very excited to come across it as it was our first time finding this and we had looked for it for quite a while. Just a bit due south of the Western of the two Lynels is a pretty rad notable area on the map, unique of any we have seen.
Just got the master sword already I'm afraid to use it
Can anyone give me info on how long it takes for it "heal" ??? Cooldown time perhaps?
10 minutes

I just got to Kakariko last night and finally got some interesting clothing, shield and a cool sword in the Shrine.
I don't really mind the dungeons being different/lower key in BOTW. If Nintendo would have done the exact same massive open world AND 8 traditional dungeons, I don't think the game would be out until 2019. Maybe they'll release multiple DLC dungeons?

Yeah, Lynels have been around forever but I'm just realizing Hinox isn't a new enemy. I love how they reinvented both for 3D. Especially Lynel, holy shit.Yeah, both Hinox and Lynels are 2D Zelda enemies that make their first appearance in a 3D game:
http://zelda.gamepedia.com/Hinox
http://zelda.gamepedia.com/Lynel
Lynels go back to the original NES Zelda.
Hinoxes first appeared in A Link to the Past.
BTW, did anyone else see a Lynel teleport before? My very first Lynel (red) encounter happened about 20 hours in near the Promenade and he took a huge chunk of health on one hit. I said "nope" and ran away. He started shooting arrows at me as I ran away, but I climbed up a wall and "escaped" just in time before he ran up on me. Then as I reach a landing on the mountain side, he TELEPORTS there and starts harassing me again. So I just warped out of there.
I love Lynels in this game. Silver-maned ones still give me a lot of trouble since they're sponges AND change up their tactics based on what type of weapons they have.

im having a lot of trouble with the shrine Fateful Stars, any tips and hints? (without just blatantly telling the answer please). the board says "
"
ive tried making sense of the constellations on the wall, and the ones in the distance, but im at a loss
look to the stars for guidance, the constellations are the key

Try counting the stars in each constellation.

I had trouble with that one too. A hint would be: don't think of coordinates.

You have 4 balls, 5 holes in front of each constellation, can you see the constellations anywhere else?

Some progressively more detailed hints:
-
There are a finite number of unique constellations, and multiples of each type
The number of stars in each constellation and the number of each type of constellation are relevant
The numbers of stars and types of each constellation correspond directly to the things you're supposed to interact with
You should spoiler tag that...
