I hate that great and obscure recipes have no positive to them. You're better just stacking the same ingredient like meat 5 times rather than adding salt, butter and wheat to make a meat pie.

It doesn't give benefits nor does it sell better, and there's no huge cooking sidequest, just a few of them scattered around. It's such a missed opportunity since they have all of the pieces, but they way they equated the benefits and the price squandered it. Imagine opening a restaurant!
 
Ok I hate to ask but I need a hint

I can't find the last memory in the very bottom right corner for the life of me. I've visited every stable that's on my map and no painter guy to be found.

Can someone give me a bit of direction? I must be missing the right stable but the map is huge and I have no clue where to even start

I would like it much better if there was a recipe list you could choose from and I could just press it and it would cook it after the first time I've made something. I don't mind going through the process when I'm trying stuff out.

I don't really like going into the menu, selecting my ingredients, exiting out of the menu and then placing it in the pot. Then worst of all, if I want to cook the same thing again I have to do it all over. When I was preparing to go into a cold area the first time it wasn't fun going through that process. It seems like it could be streamlined pretty substantially.

At least there are fun little things that happen, like seeing the items pop up in his arms, the little song that plays when you cook, and Link's reaction to what comes out. But after dozens of times I don't know if I will care about that anymore.

I actually don't think cooking needs to be streamlined much. Looking into your pantry, seeing what ingredients you have, thinking about what you can make from them and tossing those ingredients into a pot is cooking. Mashing the 'A' button from a recipe list is ordering out.

Though keeping with the spirit of cooking, it would be nice if you could increase the amount of servings you could make at one time. Increase the items you can hold at one time that yo can toss into the pot. Get two or three Salted Crab dishes at once.

Look towards the south east of Hylia field for a stable on the riverbank.
 
Fuck the Ancient armor for being so incredibly useful but looking like total shit. The logical part of me wants to keep it on all the time because it makes fights super easy, but the rest of me just wants to have Link wear ANYTHING else.

Also, is there anywhere I can go to look up the stats on the Ancient weapons that Cherry produces for you? I only got the Ancient Short Sword for a quest, and I don't know if it's worth it to get the other ones.

Just finished the game too.. What an experience. Definitely up there in my GOAT list. "More than 90 hours." for played.
How is Nintendo with additional content? Should I expect anything meaty from the season pass?

They're good. Mario Kart 8 has some of the best and most priceworthy DLC out there.

But I mean, there's no certainty that this will be great. Still, I have fate it'll be worth the $20; good developers tend to do good and worthwhile content.

No point buying already though if you're thinking about it. What you're getting now is not worth it.

You can change its color to something that suits you better.

They will most likely demo the summer additions during Treehouse Live at E3.

I can't argue with your points because you're not wrong, but ultimately this is video game so I'm okay with it having video gamey aspects that cut out busy work. Lord knows I spend enough time cooking meals in real life. This seems like a difference of opinion so we will probably just have to agree to disagree, except on your last point that I think we agree on.
 
All 120 shrines done ^_^ So mentally exhausting but also satisfying. Fitting that my last one was near Kakoriko village.
 
Two questions:

Does the
boulder breaker
ever break? If so, how do you get another one?

Does the
Yiga Clan
change their starergy when you kill
their leader?
I remember their attacks had a different format before that. I.e. they would rush down instead of being distant attackers.
 
Nothing to add really other than my kids and I have started playing this a few days ago and it's taken over our lives. We sit down for dinner and it's all we talk about....lol. It's driving my wife absolutely freaking nuts. I bought Horizon Zero Dawn around the same time and I can barely get myself to turn it on.

Honestly I haven't been this engrossed in a game in years. Probably the last time this happened was with Fallout 3.

Totally worth buying the Switch for this.
 
Somehow I have almost as many shrines as koroks. Given that I keep running out of weapon slots I reaaaaally need to keep an eye out for them better. Been doing some side questing and that's been a good way to find them.

Made my second venture into Hyrule Castle last night (two divine beasts + master sword). Master Sword is straight up OP in the castle, but when
I got locked into a combat arena with a lynel and the floating skull things, I was thankful. Didn't realize there was one of those corruption eyes on the ceiling spawning them until after.
Really love the music throughout the castle, and I like how it's the same song but different instruments when indoors and outdoors. Wife commented that indoors sounded like church, which I feel is probably somewhat appropriate.

Debating if I want to go ahead and try to beat the game now and then come back again with all four beasts + all shrines later just to compare.
 
This game!!! I'm sure most have already done this, but it's the little moments that make this game so great!
i finally found where the shrine was located near the stable with the lightning problem. How clever of the designers to not hold your hand in this game. I tried bombing the rock formation and looking for a way to get in when it dawned on me.... what if it was hit by lightning?

I tossed the same axe I took out of the top of the stable, dropped in on top of the rock structure and ZAP, shrines revealed
sooo good!!!

Edit:
lol, I just found the dinging bird and the shrine quest.... did that one out of order....
 
Found a shrine behind a waterfall. "Impeccable Timing." Got excited when I saw the lineup of orbs. Hadn't done a good puzzle in a while. Launched one orb, got the key, and was a little flabbergasted that I had finished the shrine within ten seconds.

I like the Necluda area a lot. It's unique to BotW. I don't recall anything like it in Zeldas of the past.

I'm at 100 korok seeds now, and just found the first I can't figure out. I step on a leaf platform in a river, and a ring appears at the top of a waterfall. No matter what I try I can't reach it in time. I can't climb the walls around fast enough even with speed elixirs. Ditto with cryonis. I can't make blocks fast enough to get up there in time.
 
So I finally beat the game:

Positives
  • Combat wise I think this is my favourite Zelda game.
  • The overworld is amazing
  • Many fun quirky sidequests
  • Survival
  • Over-world bosses
  • Difficulty (before the introduction of shrine powers)

Negatives
  • The Main Story in this game is really poor. There weren't really any memorable moments or anything on deeper level. Don't get me wrong but Skywards sword's story is superior to this ones (And frankly other zelda games too).
  • That Ending
  • Shrines all look the same internally and they all have the same entrances (suppose it has to do something with them easy to spot). However you go through a dungeon like entrance to open a door to be greeted by a typical Shrine entrance? Really!? Inside a temple/cave? Couldn't they just do a stair down, or just a teleport?
  • Dungeons where fun, but I felt they where a bit on the short side.
  • Spirit powers make the game easy.
  • No way to craft your own basic arrows. Since arrows keep running out and the game is pretty dependent on them.

On one hand I feel like this is the best Zelda ever but on the other hand I feel like it falls flat in some areas that other games excelled at.

You probably need a
Zora Armor
for that.
 
God do I hate the saving system in this game. I'm trying to farm
dinraal
so I save just before he appears but when I reload he no longer appears that day and my campfire just disappears.

1. Yes! You can get another in
Goron City
if you bring the necesarry ingredients.

2.
After you kill their leader, they will start to assualt you more frequently, and sometimes the swordsman/men will spawn too. Most of the time just the bowmen will spawn. The random travelers don't change I'm pretty sure
