On that second stealth mission you mention:
You only have to sneak past a handful of them. There are boulders you can stasis and hit to throw them at the guardians and break them or metal objects on ledges above you to hit and easily kill the guardians with. I think there are maybe two sections (that I noticed) where you have to sneak.
I thought that part was pretty well done. I had to get it on my second attempt cause I screwed up so badly and didn't think things through on my first climb up there.
So after around 215 hours I finally managed to 100% this game. Luckily all of the final locations I needed were bridges (and that one cabin with the bowling minigame) so I just needed to scan my map for bridges with missing names.
Final map:
Decided to head back to Ganon after 100% and
Really looking forward to the DLC, especially hard mode.

unfortunately nothing changed. I was hoping there would be something. Ah well. I still really enjoyed the game and still found myself wandering around the map hours after I got 100%.

Doable if you have food and good weapons I suppose. Don't have to, though, and you're not really expected to. I killed it but a lot of snacking was done.
I believe you can
stun him with arrows to the face while he's breathing fire, and then quickly mount him (giggity) to get some free hits in
Yep, if you don't fancy exploring and doing sidequests on your own at the moment, just pick a beast of your liking and head there.
I killed him. Thought I had to. Wasn't too bad - needed some food but some arrows from distance and jumping on him. Maybe was fortunate to have some decent weapons but Ora is the first area I went to after kakariko so I don't think I'm OP
You will need some bomb ass weapons to take down the bosses of the Divine beasts at your current level. And definitely a decent amount of cooked food.
I am not going to tell you what to do though because a lot of the fun in this game is that it gives everyone seemingly their own adventure. You don't want to ruin it with guides or having us tell you what to do.
Well it shouldn't be obvious lol. Though even then I probably would've figured it out if I wasn't intentionally leaving
Gerudo Highlands
It's also optional in the same way that everything is optional since you can fight the final boss anytime.
That section was surprisingly easy for me. I even whistled by accident twice alerting them to my presence and they couldn't find me. Plus you can
stasis
you can Larry his laser and the fireball attack. Have to use the shield's party. Fireball is a lot easier to time.

Golden Boy
No, only Spirit Orbs from shrines and Heart Containers from bosses
Not really, no. You
get full containers when you beat a Divine Beast as well, though.

It's almost as if I wrote two paragraphs right below the one you quoted, addressing that point among many other things (relevant part so that your eyes don't get tired from too much reading):
But don't let me stop your urge to correct a stranger on the internet even if you have to actively misrepresent what they said. Anyway, besides the aforementioned enemies, difficulty doesn't progress at all during the game. Your point that dungeons and their build-ups have different difficulties is an irrelevant one when you can do them in any order, so if anything it aggravates the problem: you can (and indeed, I and many others pretty much inadvertently did) tackle the hardest dungeons first and the easiest ones last. How does that help any of the issues I've raised?
I wholeheartedly agree. I just can't stop playing it, the core exploration (or even just wandering) gameplay is so immediately pleasant in every way. It's really, really exciting to think how far they can take the series by addressing the few shortcomings that BotW has. My strongest fear, in fact, is of losing some of the things achieved here, out of a sense of "not repeating themselves". By which I mean is, the overworld formula is so perfect that I fear even small changes may break it: removing or significantly altering the parasail or climbing, adding a hookshot, etc. would turn it into a very different experience, perhaps a worse one. Yet they may feel they need to change things up to justify calling it an entire new game.
So here's a question for the group, that doesn't have a definitive answer: what's the most hidden surprise in the game? The thing most buried for the most ardent player. Let's ignore the reward for the 900 Korok Seeds, since that's probably the easy answer.
Last night I was looking for
in Hyrule Castle and
Sorry if I didn't tag that right.
Last night I was looking for
the shrine
after I finally got it I decided to see if I could...climb the castle. Like, all the way up. And you can! There's a Korok Seed up there too, which made me giggle. The producers knew that, given the focus on climbing in this game, people were going to scale this thing, the focal point of the adventure. That just made me think about the above question. Surely most people won't do it but there's a cool surprise at the top.
Sorry if I didn't tag that right.
(continued end fighting stuff spoilaroos)
Thanks, I tried the fight again and parrying the laser definitely seems the easiest, as you deflect it in another direction even if you botch the timing a bit. Not sure if the big flame axe can be parried or dodged, didn't have much luck.
I never found myself using either parry or dodge a whole lot running around Hyrule so I was more focused on finding a "weak point", I guess the flicker in the shield after each attack is the clue to use those moves.

Rule of thumb for this game; every thing that can be construed as an enemy attack is parryable. They did a very good job keeping this rule consistent, so feel free to swing your shields at all enemy swings, tosses, and uh, fireball spit, everyone...

Sooo....can anyone beat my one handed sword? 100 with attack up +42
Its insane...I kinda wanna frame it
Its insane...I kinda wanna frame it
Guessing you need a lot of stamina for that option?
Don't, it'll lose its attack boost.
Ugh, I can never get good weapons with attack up boosts. I keep getting Savage Lynel weapons with throw range up and crap like that.
Took me forever to get my pair of 5 shot Savage Lynel Bows.
I did a 100m glide 2 days ago, landing on the first bear I've seen since I started. He was with another bear eating honey. I shot the second one with fire arrows, while still riding my bear. The second one was running in flames, putting fire to the whole area, while I tried following him. It was an insane momentWell this took forever. Look at that smile.

Are there still things in this game that looks like rumors or unsolved secrets?
I would love for people to keep discovering stuff in the next few months or year.
I wonder if you can get the Master Sword without any heart upgrades.

I've seen a couple of people claim Aonuma(?) hinted that you can leave the Great Plateau early, but I've never seen the receipts. Maybe just a mistranslation?Are there still things in this game that looks like rumors or unsolved secrets?

There's still a couple of places where no one has any idea what they are for.
do we know what the
giant eye on the wall up in some mountains
Two weeks into playing this game and I've still only discovered half of the map (basically all the southern/eastern regions). Reaaaalllly taking my time with this. Sometimes I'll just take my horse for a ride and enjoy the scenery. I'm too scared to activate more towers because that will mean I'm closer to finishing the game...
(Region spoilers)
Two questions about it:
(Region spoilers)
Just been making my way through the Gerudo Highlands, which seems like the least interesting area so far, but there are still a few bits to do there.
Two questions about it:
Anyone seen those weird rhino/buffalo looking guys in the far western part of the highlands? I've seen them a couple of times, but they despawn before I can take a photo, and then it takes ages for them to show up again.
Secondly, can someone give me a hint as to where I can find that eighth statue regarding the sand shoes quest? He mentions the Gerudo Highlands, but having trouble locating it. I found the statue's sword, but can't find the torso.

According to the official guide, that's the highest attack boost you can have for that sword.

This game will take me forever to finish thoroughly. And it just might be something that I pop in for a while and do some horse-riding or mountain-climbing for the heck of it years from now.

Well this took forever. Look at that smile.
oh man, that's awesome. still have yet to encounter any bears and i'm over 65 hours in!
Hint 1 :
Look at your map for a structure similar to the 7 statues.
Hint 2
: It's right behind a mountain.
At the north end of the highlands, you can see a small canyon on the map that empties out into Tabantha. It's the only canyon that empties northward. Pretty sure the 8th statue is there.
Ah thanks!
I was probably too cautious to discover a new region (haven't explored north of the highlands yet) that I didn't bother checking in that area.
edit: and thanks, Peléo!
I wanted to write something about the beauty of this game, but almost everything is here. After 35 years spent playing on every game system, waiting anxiously for the "next perfect" game, I am so happy because finally the time has come. This Zelda is the only game capable to make me feel pure joy. It never stops to amaze me after dozens of hours played. It is always a pleasure to get around and discover everytime something special. It seems I won't never get tired of this. I am deeply grateful to the artists who made this dream come true.

WARNING! SPOILERS ABOUT SPARROWS BELOW!
My quest to find the elusive, endangered "Common Sparrow" (and its relatives):
As I neared completion on all of the "main" content in Breath of the Wild, I was happy to turn to the optional things it offers as a way to keep playing this exceptional game, while still having specific goals to try and accomplish. The last of those, for me, was the Hyrule Compendium (all Korok seeds is beyond my patience).
I'd nearly completed the whole thing, but a few pictures remained. In the animal section, I was down to just 3 remaining, one of which was clearly a sparrow, and the other two likely to be birds as well. Looking at the locations listed for the sparrows I had photographed (the Blue, Sand, and Golden varieties), I set out to find sparrows in other parts of the world.
After a full evening playing - about 4 hours - I'd encountered nothing but Blue Sparrows. So the next night, I gave in and googled the contents of those 3 missing slots. They were all sparrows (the Common, Red, and Rainbow). Taking note of where they are supposed to live, I set out again with my stealth clothing and magic digital camera.
Another evening of again roughly 4 hours passed with no sparrows found except the Blue Sparrow. In every part of the world, only the Blue Sparrows still survive. In the Faron Grasslands and West Necluda, where the Rainbow species once lived, only the Blue Sparrows now roamed. In the Hebra Mountains and Tabantha Frontier, where the Red Sparrow had in the past been documented, no red feathers were spotted. Only Blue. And in Hyrule Field and Ridge, the so-called "Common" Sparrow was apparently on the verge of extinction. Not a single specimen was sighted.
Keeping in mind I was playing a game, and also mindful of the Blood Moon glitch, and the open world "GTA syndrome" (where you see one car, and suddenly all the cars are that same car), I regularly warped around, and reset my game/console a handful of times to try and prevent these issues.
Last night, my 3rd night, I decided to take decisive action. My new plan: population control. I was determined to kill every Blue Sparrow I could find, in the hopes that this invasive species might be reduced in number enough for the struggling other sparrow species to make a comeback. At first, I just shot any Blue Sparrow I could. But that wasn't enough. They almost exclusively travel in small flocks of 3 or 4, and upon killing one, the others quickly flee. So I stalked them more carefully, waiting for the moment when the flock was grouped closely enough to take them all out with a single bomb arrow. My number of kills climbed steadily; Blue Sparrows were not hard to find, though I checked every bird through the lens of my Shiekah Slate to confirm the "Blue" in fact and not just color.
And then, finally, success! A single Common Sparrow turned up among the Chickaloo Nut corpses of the slaughtered Blues, somewhere south of the Great Plateau. And after only a handful of burned flocks of Blue in the far west, one flock of Red Sparrows returned to be caught on film.
But no such luck with the Rainbow. Sweep after sweep through its supposed territory turned up no Rainbows, but also only a few Blues, which I dutifully slaughtered. Then, just north of Highland Stable, I heard a bird call I was certain I'd never heard before. Could this be it? I crouched and carefully approached the source of the sound. It seemed to be coming from a pair of trees in the center of the large field. But though I circled fully around the trees, confirming the exact location of the call, no birds appeared or fled. I leaped high into the air and surveiled the location from above, with the same negative result. Eventually, I chopped down the trees and all the grass, but though that didn't halt the bird call or alter its easily triangulated position, still no birds were visible. Disheartened, I continued sweeping the two large areas where supposedly this bird lived.
Perhaps the Rainbow had slipped away into extinction. But I persevered as long as I could. Midnight arrived, and I sadly concluded that the search must end for another night.
But wait! What's this? A patch? Perhaps the creators have taken pity! Surely this patch must be to re-introduce the lost Rainbow Sparrow species to the world! I patched and gave myself another hour to search.
That was longer than necessary. Less than 5 minutes after starting the patched game, I spotted a healthy flock of Rainbow Sparrows only a few yards from Highland Stable, in a spot I'd searched many times before. Finally, my quest was over.
Was it the patch? Maybe. Personally, I like to think my systematic killing of the hated Blue Sparrows allowed the poor Rainbows to re-populate. In any case, at least their beauty was documented on film for posterity to enjoy, should the Blues eventually shoulder them out permanently.
Oh, incidentally, I spent that last hour beating the game. 190+ hours, all Shrines, Compendium complete, 275 Korok seeds, and all clothing fully upgraded. Time well spent.

I have one that has the exact same attack strength. I would frame it if yellow colored abilities didn't disappear when you did that.
I would guess the weapons losing yellow colored abilities when framed is a bug. For some reason my savage lynel sword with attack up +17 with a white colored ability has not lost it after being on the wall for over 100 hours. I wonder if this is something the latest patch fixed. Should test it the next time I get a long throw weapon or something.

Yes. We are hoping it's something comprehensive and technically difficult (with actual effort) instead of some lazy value swapping for damage dealing and damage taken.
Yes, it's part of the 1st DLC. I'll need no other reason to restart from zero once I have completed everything on my current run.
