No, because it's "Zou"...

DLC needs to release. Lynels aren't even hard any more.
When a 100 ATK weapon won't even last an entire Lynel fight :\ ugh
I cannot for the life of me get
Star Fragments to drop when I have 2 or more.
It's frustrating.

The trick with those is to keep them for the
mount phase, since weapons don't suffer durability loss when hitting during mount. Also you get five hits regardless of 1H or 2H.
Respawing is weird in the game (sorry if you saw my twet about that a couple weeks ago).
Resources doesn't respawn if you already got plenty. For example, I don't have any more arrows in the stores or at Beedle.
It's a shame because I wanted to get a dozen star fragments before the new amiibos comes out.
Similarly, fairies doesn't ever respawn once you get 3.
Anyway, korok seeds:
What's a good guide/map you use GAF?
I'm at 880-ish and I will fall short of 5.
I use zeldamaps.com and IGN who had both inconsistancies:
zeldamaps is supposedly data-mined but gets non-existent seeds. Also, it probably have an array limit problem for the cookie to save once you marked 500+ seeds.
IGN is sometimes a bit more helpful because it marks the starting point of the seed, but of course, it's more difficult to check because this isn't the point marked in the ingame map.

There's no actual in-game way to locate them, right? Only way is to literally comb the entire map for them (unless you want to cheat)? That's pretty ridiculous. I suppose there's no real purpose to finding them all (your inventory maxes out long before that), but still.
Maybe the "new map feature" coming in the DLC will be a completionist compass of sorts, showing all Korok locations and such to allow normal people to actually reach 100% completion.
That % on the map is just for the map. There are counters for quests too on the quest log.

Does that show the number you have completed of the ones you have started, or of all sidequests in the game? Haven't checked that screen since I beat the game.
IMO
yes. It looks and moves like an elephant (especially when you're inside), though I don't know if the 'zor' part has anything to do with it.
Each of the Divine Beasts seem to be modeled after an animal. The Gerudo beast is a camel. The Rito beast is a bird. The Goron beast is a salamander.
Found a great way to farm
Star Fragments
1 - Go to Shee Vaneer Shrine and climb to where the 2 statues are
2 - Drop Wood, set it on Fire and Camp until morning
3 - Set it on fire again and camp until night
4 - Keep the camera steady and focused on where you want a Star Fragment to spawn
5 - A Star Fragment should spawn by 3:00am, roughly 90-95% of the time
6 - Go get it
7 - Repeat
I suggest pointing the camera N-NW so it doesn't spawn in water (It's gone if it does) and so it's easy to see.

So I just broke the game:
Here's full story/explanation:
https://www.gamereactor.es/noticias...of+the+Wild+y+el+bug+de+la+Meseta+del+Trueno/
(Spanish).
Guess some of you bumped into the Thundra Planteau bug, by which some of the orbs disappear if you leave the area and load elsewhere. Well, in my case it went from 2 disappearing to the 4 of them being gone, then to finding two duplicated purple orbs. At fourth reload it was properly reset, but still...
We let Nintendo know.

I beat the game the other day and immediately jumped back in to keep shrine hunting. I finished with 99, I think. I'm definitely more inclined to take it a bit slower and not play every day now that I only have about 15 left, but overall, I am extremely pleased with this game. Something that really bugged me in every dungeon was the map. I never felt comfortable using it for any sort of real navigation, rather than just figuring out my general location.
was the worst offender of this, IMO. I wound up just memorizing the layouts on my own like I've always done and never looked at the map of the
unless I wanted to leave.
Also, a boss door for
would've been nice! The only reason I beat it is because I triggered the cutscene and figured I'd try him once and die. I one shot him. That said, it was an awesome fight and the time I took learning how to parry guardians really paid off.
Hyrule Castle
castle
Also, a boss door for
Ganon
That was one of the last ones I found, even though I had found it much earlier in the game and had completely forgot about activating it.
It worked!!! Now delete this post so that Nintendo Ninjas don't patch this lol

Is there any rough idea of when Hard mode is coming out? I am desperate to replay this game already, but I really want to wait for that update.

August is what someone said was on a website.
Jesus fucking christ, last night I found 2 ways to find Koroks that I did not know of previously.
Both were the large acorns/canisters. One was in a hole in a standing tree (not in a downed log as I had been on the lookout for previously) and the other was just hanging from a huge tree's branch by a chain.

I wonder if the new map functionality they talked about as part of the DLC is a Korok finder. I can't think of anything else you can't used the sensor to search for.
SoraanTribal

Yeah, maybe. I was disappointed the first time I tried to take a picture of a Korok and set it as a sensor.

Look for a modest test of strength. I think a shrine in the southeast has one.

My friend is letting me borrow his switch for a few weeks to play Zelda. I have a new profile set up on the console, is there any way I would be able to transfer my save over to another Switch later on when I buy my own?
Would it be scummy to pay the entrance fee for the fairy, check out the upg are requirements and then reload an older save to get my money back? I don't want to pay a fortune only to unlock upgrades that I can't fulfill
Also - any tips on finding a frostspear? And does the bloody
quest ever end??

Well, cloud saves are coming eventually.
Though weren't they supposedly coming to Wii U too?
Did you try an actual korok?

They've been super vague about cloud saves with respect to non-mobile games. The only reason I'm confident they're coming to Switch is comments from Matt.

after 265 hours this is the first time I am forcing myself to play
with the lack of star fragment farming and missing 3 seeds to hit 900
I am a little burnt out

I tried to take a picture of one of the ones you find out in the wild to get a seed.

Got all 120 shrines. Had to look the last one up. I think I would have gotten bored by the time I actually found that last remaining one.
I'm tired of trying to shoot a swarm of Keese with one and then realizing too late that it's raining.

Decided to try my luck near the castle and battle around a bit after a recommendation from a friend to go inside because of a lot of good loot. I wasn't really sure how I would fair, but I started climbing and swimming up waterfalls and....I was in the throne room.
I actually finished the game which was shocking, but I'm kind of sad they have to reset right before the fight with Ganon. I'd have liked to have Zelda on my adventure as a companion or something like that but I guess that would ruin a lot of monster appearances/the repercussions of Zelda having no kingdom and basically being in ruin. That's a discussion for another time.
I hunted down some more shrines, capped off a few Shrine quests including the pain in the ass blood moon one. Of course I couldn't get it when I needed it. But sneak into an enemy base and then take all but one out and get it? Every time.
Got a few more amiibo pieces of armor which was nice, and now I can sear through Guardians and the Castle no problem if I want some loot. Ended up getting the other interesting overworld armor so now I think all that's left is the few craftable ones and upgrading.
I'm interested to see what the DLC will bring; like many noted some way of tracking where Korok seeds are would be great.

HOLY SHIT!?
You can warp from inside a shrine.
I mean there's like only 1 use for it, but still.

I think that's only true after some requirement is met, probably beating all 4 beasts
It doesn't really scale the same way as everything else either. I went back when I was seeing silver enemies all over, including most Lynels, but hadn't done all the beasts yet. The stuff there still just had Knight's gear, and the Lynel was still just a blue one.

What's a good place to pick up shields? I've pretty depleted my stash after going Lynel farming.

Just unlocked the whole map. I have a lot more exploring to do.
All the Divine Beasts seem to follow this basic structure of gaining the trust of a voiced character, gaining access to the Beast with their help, then quasi dungeoning.
I have to say that set pieces for entering the Divine Beasts all make for better boss fights than the Blights. Y
is the worst but I think some tweaking to make it faster paced would put it up there with the rest.
Hyrule Castle I think will be the blueprint for all future dungeons; Part of the overworld and with multiple entry points. Just need bosses that dont just stand there. And no mooning.
I think the game would have benefited from a set of dungeons that unlock after you retake a Divine Beast. Add in the assist character for another round and more memories to give everyone some more screen time.
