Some of those I covered in a roundabout way but I completely missed a couple.
Are there multiple ball in cup challenges? I completely missed races 0.o

What is the significance of the red pinwheels that are all over the map?
I got a Guardian amiibo and it had a little metallic foil piece right under the base, so I'm assuming that would block the signal.

Ah... yeah that's what they've been doing for all the other Amiibo as well. I guess that gives me my answer. Oh well. I'd rather keep mine boxed than take them out to use in that scenario. Thanks for confirmation!
You can't, still same little card that blocks the NFC functionality.
Having never played a Zelda game before, I was a bit skeptical when I first started. I didn't know characters, didn't know the story. Hell I didn't even know what Ganon is!!
So I was trucking along this river, thinking about whether I like this game or not and I see a tiny lake with a camp filled with monsters on the other side. I see this barrel of TNT on my side and think "man I'm gonna use that stop-time power and launch it over the lake into the camp". As I was doing this I just thought it was going to fail and I'll chuckle and that'll be that.
Well... I could not believe my eyes, the barrel flew and landed in the camp. It blew up which in turn blew up every other barrel which killed the entire camp. I wanted to capture the moment but the Switch's share button doesn't record.
I turn around and walk, telling myself man that was awesome!!! A guy comes up to me, tells me something and then wants to take my life. He kills me almost instantly.

I don't know. It costs 2000 rupees a piece lol. Defense isn't amazing but the bonus resistance could be useful.

a problem this game has is that it rains too damn often,...and when you are climbing something huge you might get stuck on an edge for a lot of time waiting for the rain to stop and restart climbing..also weather forecast doesn't always work appropriately,so you can't even base your climbing decisions on that

That part was so damn touching. Made me feel really bad for her.

I got the full barbarian set. (Attack up)
Now I need to hunt Lynels to get the upgrade mats... :-(
Any good place to find these things that don't have lightning arrows?
Those labyrinths were maddening at times. Wasn't till after I completed them that I realized you could climb over the walls.

Oh, one thing I've been wondering about - it was mentioned that certain sets of clothes have "set bonuses" but I can't tell how to determine that. I have the full Hylian Soldier set and the stealth stuff and I assume they just don't have anything, but if they did, where would it show up?

Indeed if I had one wish right now is to engulf myself in a little cocoon with the game but instead of emerging after the metamorphosis as a butterfly I instead emerge upon 100% completion of the game.

I'm lying here about to go to bed and the solution to a Korok puzzle just dawned on me.
In Faron area
Gotta remember this for the morning.
In Faron area
there was a river with three small platforms, one with a metal ball on it, and then two metal balls connected by a chain. Moving one ball would make the other fall off, I didn't give it too much thought and went on my way.
I now realise that after putting one on a platform, you could hit it with stasis and quickly put the other one up. Seems so obvious now.

My brother came over last night, and we stayed up playing until almost three in the morning. We mostly hunted down shrines and m
, but we also teed up our first proper dungeon. Gonna be a rough day at work.
Does anyone else get kind of a Mario Galaxy vibe from the shrines -- highly diverse, "bite-size" Zelda challenges with (e.g.,
)? My brother and I found one last night that stumped us for a good five minutes. Such a rush when I figured it out.
Structurally, BotW reminds me of Wind Waker, with exploration and filling in the map forming the substance of the game. But where Wind Waker's traversal is pretty hands-off and homogeneous (flat ocean, regular features, just point and sail), BotW's is consistently exciting and offers near-limitless ways for the player to get around. Where Wind Waker's ocean is empty, BotW's Hyrule is bursting with wildlife and wandering NPCs, plants and monsters. And where Wind Waker's discoveries yield a narrow class of rewards feeding one or two objectives (most often rupees or maps leading to rupees), BotW's are often surprising and loop back into a much wider range of subsytems and subgoals.
I can't get over how much I love all the NPCs wandering around Hyrule. I mean, the ones in the villages are fantastic too, but there's something about crossing paths with someone in the wilderness that is so charming.

Had my first time trying out the game, and the Switch on my TV. Used detached joycons. Not bad at all. Certainly like seeing it on a bigger screen where you can take in the scale of the world even better, and the controls while slightly fiddly aren't bad at all. I had a disappointing few attempts trying to kill
but I didn't find the controls all that bad. The only annoyance is that sprint can't be on the left joycon analogue click. Hard to run around and change camera angle together!
Getting some bad framerate drops in the dense forrest sections for sure. I really hope they can fix this. Don't mind some slow down but it definitely gets pretty bad. Only a relatively minor niggle in what is such a fantastic game but always better if they can improve this performance!
Absolutely loving this game. So easy to lose hours to it. Has a very rewarding gameplay loop of exploration to discover new things and items and the enemies I've encountered so far are nicely dotted around. I don't feel frustrated that I'm just endlessly fighting enemies. Even the ones that pop up randomly have been sparse. I absolutely HATE typical RPG's where you have enemies spawning every 10 steps you take or what feels like that!
the stone monster thing on the plateau (guarding one of the shrines)

They were the one of the first I came across lol. Their quest was my favorite so far.
How do you activate them? I couldn't figure it out... Equip the bow?
Also FUCK those floating lightning guys, oh my god. I'm being punished for getting too far ahead of myself, aren't I? It's one-shot city out here.
I believe you need to upgrade it twice before set bonuses kick in.
You need to upgrade them twice to possibly gain a set bonus. I've been asking in this thread whether the Hylian (non-armor) set has any bonuses because it looks cool. Haven't found the Great Fairy to upgrade it a second time yet.

That's funny, because it's exactly the connection I made during our Zelda podcast.

I think they have to have been upgraded at least twice and when wearing the full set you'll see the bonus on the equipment screen next to Link's model.
For instance the stealth set also grants movement speed up at night.
You need to stand on the tree stump, if I'm thinking of the same thing you are.
So after beating the Zora dungeon I get this special Lance weapon as a reward, which the Zora dude at the store says he can fix if it breaks. Does that mean that I should stop using it when I get the warning that it's about to break, or I can let it break entirely and it can still be repaired?
YOu have to break it entirely.
Edit: otherwise he'll yell at you for the spear still being in existance.

Got to the top of the mountain above
last night. For the 30th time on this page that approach was so good. I banged my head against the monster at the top last night and have no clue how I'm going to beat him after work tonight.
Zora's Domain

I haven't been playing this game for 10 minutes and I'm having withdrawal symptoms.
I am at work rn but last night I went to bed at 3:00 doing the first part of the mission to reach
Zora's Domain.
I was using my Sheikah gear + the cloack and felt like a ninja backstabbing and snipping all those enemies along the road.

You stand near the pinwheel and the targets spawn. You don't necessarily need to use a bow but some targets may be impossible to hit without arrows.
Probably the latter. He'll make a new one I guess from a Zora spear.

I figured that one out, but it was a non-red pinwheel. The glowing red pinwheels seem to have a different mechanic to them that I haven't figured out.
Hmm... maybe I didn't hang out for long enough, then?

Nice! I've been avoiding Zelda reviews and podcasts until I finish the game. I'll have to remember to check it out.
Ah, that's better, then. Thanks!

I like how the dye man is the potion guy from Wind Waker
There sure are a lot of Wind Waker characters in this game.

I love the tower music. It's so peaceful and relaxing, yet slightly haunting at the same time. It reminds me a bit of Koh Otani's work in Shadow of the Colossus, actually.

For what it's worth I took great care during all of my coverage to avoid any spoilers of any degree of significance.
