How is it playing with 8 stamina upgrades?
I broke it by accident.
Blow up a tree.
I completed the game on Monday with 60 shrines, MS, and 100+ korok seeds.
Days later, I am still completely obsessed with the game. I'm now up to 79 shrines without using a guide / shrine scanner, and hopeful I will be able to get towards 100 before having to rely on other means to find the more well hidden ones.
Some of the shrine side quests I've completed though are on-par with the general story quality, and I keep finding new things to love about this game. Honestly, the story was pretty basic but bad-ass, but I'm now thinking that it is really a small part of what makes this game the ultimate adventure experience.
All I can hope is that Nintendo can pump out another game using this engine in 3-4 years. Hell, it will be great if the season pass greatly expands on the amazing world they've already created.

You can easily climb any mountain no problem. Although I'm also wearing the fast climb bandanna and Shirt. Feels great when getting the towers or when gliding
Also your able to spin attack with a claymore for a longer period of time.
I've only played for two hours today and I feel like I got nothing done and such much done. Switching the HUD to pro mode and just picking a direction to wander in is amazing. I found a bunch of shrines and koroks, got killed by a guardian, saw a
, got a sweet flaming greatsword, recalled two memory cutscenes, and so much more! I don't even want to advance the main story because there's so much other stuff to do that I can't seem to ignore.

Some upgrades require them, also you can make accessories with them later in the game. I usually only keep a few on hand personally and just sell the rest.

Thanks!
Yes.
Yep. I think it's refreshing as hell.
Ambers and Opals are pretty common. Sapphires and Diamonds are a bit more rare in my experience.
There's a good place for mining these materials in the game, so yeah keep selling a few.
Are you sure you hit all 4? When I did it, the stupid prince kept sending me up waterfalls I'd already been up, so I had to keep swimming around until he finally got it right.
Near the volcano area, they kinda suck things in, throw down a rusty weapon so they eat it, put up your shield though

Where was this?
I hit them all for sure. Maybe it's because I shot at one next to the waterfall I went up?
This is 3 hearty radishes and 2 food items (in this case, 2 hylean herbs). Insanely powerful.
I did 3 hearty radishes + 2 big hearty radishes for full recovery + 21 temp hearts
5 normal hearty radishes might have the same effectOctoroks are the best lol.

Badass
You can just land on the back of the titan and shoot from there. Sadly I only found that out after I had already hit two of the spots, but it'll save a minute or two in further playthroughs.
I think this best sums up why I love this game.
My wife and I were playing last night. We got to a tower, which was surrounded by shards of ice. I figured out that I probably needed fire arrows, so I thought I should warp to Kakariko village and buy some. As I was leaving the arrow shop with my new fire arrows, I thought I should go see Hetsu outside of Kakariko and turn in some Korok seeds. After a few turn-ins, he informs me that he's leaving for the Lost Woods. So I go to the Lost Woods and finish doing my turn-ins, but in the process, I get three sidequests for the "Korok Trials." So I go and do those.
An hour and a half later, I turn to my wife and say, "Oh yeah, we never went back and finished that tower, did we?"

Wooooooooooooooow, currently watching some let's plays and they were doing the shrine where you learn about the horizontal Cryo near the first stable and the intended solution was to cryo from afar whereas I climbed that shit and stasis'ed the ball up and over lol.
There's also
10 luminous stones for a diamond
That one I've got but this one was a surprise. I've seen tonnes, they're just a bitch to get.
Haha, the physics of the game are simply awesome, I love all these different approaches that the game enables!

There's some shrines that mean for you to cleverly navigate through laser grids by hiding behind cover, but if you have
Stasis+ you can just freeze them and walk right past.
I think this highlights what I love most about this game. Most things that common sense would say should work, actually does. You're really only limited by your imagination in this world, because there are multiple ways to solve a lot of the puzzles.
That's the prize? Awesome! I have the stones, but haven't gone back to the guy yet.
Did that one today and was getting really pissed when I couldn't get past them. They don't follow a clear path when you swing them since the physics are really sensitive.
Then I looked up and it finally clicked.
That's true, but this is also the only Zelda game where common enemies can regularly one-hit TKO you at 3 hearts, LOL. 3 heart runs were necessary in the older games if you wanted them to feel challenging. That's not the case here, but obviously the great thing about BotW is everyone can play however they want.

Hours ago I finished one of those Test of Strength Shrines and got an amazing vest with a climbing speed buff out of it. This morning I stumbled across the Extreme Test of Strength (I'm playing in Japanese, so it might have a different name in English), and I was so excited to see what was going to be waiting in the chest for me after breaking half my gear against that SOB:
a random battleaxe with 13 strength
After finding this out, hell yeah they are lol

Yeah rewards are a little weird like that. Like, the
dueling peaks shrines
One has a 12 strength poking spear and the other has a 36 strength 2 handed Katana
Still haven't topped the
Edge of Duality
What's the tease? Just that they show it? Because you can get it pretty easily and quick. Unless I'm thinking of the wrong thing.

This game is just soooo GOOD! My god! So many a-ha moments without it having to explain anything. So many personal discoveries just out of curiosity. Using arrows to light lamppost instead of finding wooden material...fighting the a Hinux and it adapting to my arrows so instead I lit the ground on fire and he started trying to pat the flames out...flipping over one of the shrine puzzles to easily bypass navigating a ball through a maze...so much more! Its just fluid exploration. True open world. I'm so impressed. So impressed by this game.

So I found a really easy way to farm farosh horn fragments but I don't know what they're used for besides the champions tunic upgrades lol.

It's dark and foggy and then you see a shield guarded by the forest at the end of the path and it's just a rusty shield used to progress the puzzle.
This is crazy. Didn't know it worked this way. Will try to save some of mine for this situation,
