Speaking of the beast lasers, I hate how they ruin the horizon and scenery while exploring the world. I really wish they weren't permanently​ visible from everywhere.

Faster for me than struggling to scale a mountainside when it's raining. To each their own.

Exactly, it adds a layer of engaging challenge to the game, like weapon durability, another feature I enjoy that a lot of people complain about.
I don't mind weapon durability cuz it makes you actually use other weapons and adds a level of strategy to combat.
Same!

Well this is interesting. Is it possible for your horse to "die," and therefor no longer be accessible at the many stables?
I had acquired the
It had great stats, and could be "whipped" five times to go faster. But one play session I got into a heated battle, and the horse took damage...or might've died. Not sure which though as I was focused on the battle.
Today, when I went to a stable I noticed my
is missing. I no longer have access to this horse. I ain't even mad, in fact I am impressed. But I was unaware that your horse could die.
I had acquired the
white horse, which is considered to be like the royal white horse.
Today, when I went to a stable I noticed my
white horse named Nala,
You can bring your horse back if you wanted. There is a way.

True. You can do so here.
I figured i'd go and recapture the same one, but it wasn't in the fields where I originally caught it the first time. I checked several times, and no
white horses
I beat the game at that point. There is no bad ending, just an extra bonus scene if you get all memories, a small interaction between link and zelda but its pretty forgetable imo.
Re beasts
the final boss fight consists in fighting every one of the 4 blights of ganon and then calamity itself. For each beasts you defeat one of the blights wont appear in the final battle and ganon loses 1/8 of hp. If you beat al beats you will go straight to ganon with 1/2 hp remaining. So the battle is longer and more memorable the earlier in the story you are.

Thanks for the info. I thought there were two distinct endings.
Man, I really hate having a weaker
Ganon the more beasts you do
You're making the right decision. In the future, fight more often. The more you fight and break your weapons, the more powerful the weapon drops become.
That one is a special spawn. Only way to get it back is the horse god.
Just beat the game on wii u right now, total hour = 157
I liked the game, interesting to see zelda go this route but..idk how i really feel
Botw reminds me of the wind waker a lot, except I found wind waker boring after few hours, but botw was more fun and intersting game for my entire playthrough.
I love zelda games for its dungeons, story, music ( TP and skyward sword are my favorite in the series btw ) yet Botw blows in these 3 departments lol yet I still liked the game a lot. ( The small amount of music tracks in this game are outstanding but they're too far and few which makes me sad
The shrines except maybe 1 or 2 in the game felt like tiny bit size snacks ( very few of them were great but the rest ehh too short too simple =/ ), the dungeons themselves felt like....fast food not very fufuilling at all left me too hungry. which made the main course of this game the open world exploration which I loved to explore.
honestly while I liked this big departure for the series, the ending just left a lot more to be desired especially in the story department. Makes me feel kinda empty inside, I just wanted more closure? i guess.
anyway, I hope the zelda team keeps the botw open world exploration formula for future zeldas but please bring back the meaty dungeons, the music everywhere, and more story for future games ._. Missed these things a lot
also where is the completion rate? I don't see it just just see a white star on my file.

My Hyrule Compendium is almost complete. 6 monsters, 8 creatures and 8 weapons/shields left. I bought only 1 picture at the beginning (the spring loaded hammer thing).
Its been fun. I've been cataloging since I got the compendium, so its not like I've spent any extra hours just taking pictures.
I wish the camera range were longer. Its very annoying to get the birds and the insects.

He's also in certain towns.
I went to Kakariko but all he said was something about a bridge or something, he wouldn't give a hint. The only one I cant find is the last one in the trees.
That one does have an associated stable - he actually tells you exactly where it is in that hint, as well.
I'm kind of surprised that darkness and use of a torch for visibility doesn't figure into the game beyond
I think it would have been cool if some regions were really dark at night, requiring a torch or some other light source.
the Typhlo Ruins and the opening of 1 Divine Beast.
I wonder if they could have worked that into one of the Divine Beast world-state changes - maybe the ash from Rudania agitating the volcano blanketing it would make Death Mountain (and probably Akkala) incredibly dark at night until you calm it? It'd fit in with
the use of the torch in the dungeon

So my professor is making my class do lightning talks for our finals and she let me and my friend present why BotW is arguably one of the GOAT! But since we only get five minutes, I think we''ll just discuss how amazing the climbing in this game is and how it connects to so many cool aspects of this game.
I found the memories without the hints. Look at the pictures.
Maaan, I just found out you need a certain amount of hearts to do something. Stamina is so much more useful, I'm bummed I have to shift focus.
They nailed a lot of things in Breath of the Wild so I'm looking forward to them iterating and perfecting on things in either the DLC or next game. I hope we get some moments requiring a torch too, Twilight Princess had those grotto's and I absolutely loved them because you were basically venturing into the unknown with only a torch to light your way. I don't know about an entire region requiring a torch at night time though but it depends on the visibility.

Finally decided to go take on Ganon after "over 110 hours" and 103 shrines. I don't want to say the game was getting boring, but definitely started to feel a bit aimless as I scoured this huge world for side missions and shrines. Felt like the right time to just go for it and end the story.
Holy shit, the final area and boss just took this game to another level for me. When
starts playing as you explore the castle, it's bliss. Though I do feel like Ganon was maybe a little bit too easy? Or maybe I was just too OP by this point lol.
Regardless the ending was super satisfying to me, but to my surprise I only have 28.8 percent complete....oh well I'm down for another few hundred hours
No, unfortunately. Praying they'll patch in a real activity log in the future.

The top of Mount Lanaryu was amazing. I'm not sure if this "random" spawn after going back to the grassland has anything to do with it but should I chase after it and hit it for potential drops or something? Or is it just a cool bonus appearance?

Excellent topic as I personally feel it relates to the game's player progression and sense of determination to discover the entire map.

Are you playing via Cemu or something?
That pic was such a give away
Haven't played the game for like a month now, but if I remember correctly, there were a number of places within the game that had damaged guardians but I don't remember where they all were. One area pops to mind, so I guess I can check it out before seeking further assistance.
So a lot of people complain about (shrine spoilet)
Missing 6 shrines somehow (3 quests) and one that I can't figure out :
Also missing 5 normal quests.. I feel like I skipped a part of the map.
the bloodmoon shrine. But I arrived way past the bloodmoon cutscene and it still worked. I think you have most if not all of a bloodmoon night. As long as the pedestal is blinking orange.
Missing 6 shrines somehow (3 quests) and one that I can't figure out :
Heart of the rito.
I figure I have to shoot a flame arrow through the heart at noon but it isn't really working

Does the formula for this game switch up at all after the first 3-4 hours? I feel like I'm being a bit too harsh on it, but I'm not really enjoying the combat and exploring the world isn't really doing it for me. Or maybe I should say that I'm not enjoying exploring the world because enemies get in the way and I don't enjoy the combat and Link's slow movement.

It sounds like this game is not for you, period.
Exploration is the main thing in this game, if you're not enjoying that, bail out.
And the answer to your question is No. The game formula is essentially the same from the beginning.
That heart quest made no sense.
You have to shoot the pidestal at noon.

Hmm, this sounds like how the end fight should have been regardless. I was gutted when I beaten all four Beasts, went to Ganon and then without doing anything
50% of his HP is drained

Shadow of the Colossus
Nintendo really shit the bed with the terrible main story stuff in BOTW. Just 4 dungeons, they're all easy, they're all way too short, the final fight is disappointing, and the ending is painfully unmemorable. It's just that everything else is incredible, best in the entire series, otherwise this would have easily been the worst 3D Zelda.
It makes some sense.
At noon, the shadow forms the shadow of a heart.
I figured it out before I got the quest though by accidentally
lighting a fire on it when I noticed the pedestal light up with the heart on it. I had an inkling that since it was a heart, I'd have to do something with fire.

Hey can Amiibos be shared among different games? I'm thinking I'm just going to have to borrow a friends Pixel and OoT Link.
