I see now.
Does anyone know if you can find
Farosh's scale
dragon fang shards from all three dragons, and scales from both Nayru and Dinraal.
I don't want to know where it is, only if it can be found.

The sound design in this game is overall incredible, i really love it
It's so crisp. Wearing the snow boots on solid non-snowy areas makes a metallic sound. Yum.

Are the towers just for making name of land in area visible?

No, you get detailed topographical details that are quite helpful (remember you can zoom in). Allows you to see elevation of land/mountains/valleys, roads, bodies of water, built structures (houses, enemy camps), trees, etc. Without the tower you get nothing from the map except your location in a void.
You also don't get all geographic features named. Some require a visit before their titles are added to the map.

I think the word you're actually looking for there is topographical.

Yup! Fixed it, thanks.

fighting calamity ganon as soon as i left great plateau, took me a while to finish the blights, the thunder blight is ALWAYS a fucking pain, but finally got the hang of him as well as the others.
Calamity ganon, full health, stomped me and i died.
Have to fight all of blights again, holy shit i'm gonna cry

Stamina if you want to make exploration easier and arguably more or less fun depending on who you ask. Hearts if you suck at combat. Or you can go with a balanced approach. Edit: stamina will also improve how long you can do spinning attack, aerial aiming/shooting, and dashing, all of which are useful in combat.
I invested in more stamina early on, and didn't regret it at all.
There is a way to exchange hearts for stamina and vice versa for a small fee any time. So don't sweat it, you can "change your mind" later on.
You don't need to be there when the animation starts, just need to get there before dawn.
Received my Neon Nintendo Switch yesterday and I just para-glided down from the Great Plateau in my first sitting. Got the winter overall and killed the stone giant before I left.
Purchased the Season Pass DLC straight after and I will return to the Great Plateau to pick up my rewards in my next session (hopefully it doesn't require a new game?).

I'm still not over the fact how incredible this game actually is.
Lots of people complained about the Ganon fight being too easy, but I thought it was a breath of fresh air - you just trekked across like what...100 hours of content, and having a doable end fight was awesome. Finally I didn't get stuck on some end boss, allowing me to actually finish a game story. Everybody seems to expect Dark Souls like difficulty on games nowadays, it's getting long in the tooth. Here the difficulty is kind of smeared out over the entire experience and they're giving you the time and resources to get grips with it.
I seriously hope we'll see more open world games like this. I can't go back to the Ubisoft iconathons, and even Horizon and W3 feel stale to me now.

It doesn't. The "rewards" are also entirely worthless. Unless you're really craving that silly Switch t-shirt.

Are there post-divine beast side quests in Goron City? I went through the city briefly afterwards but didn't notice anyone with quests aside from
. Surely, there's more than just that?

I've tried to match the Switch display but I just can't get it to work.

Man, this world is just too large, I wouldve preferred Nintendo to put some quality side missions or at least missions that direct you around these gigantic areas, Im not one to explore just to explore, I usually like going to a location with some purpose, still early but Im guessing this is how the game will be.

You're the opposite of me.
This is more like me. I even played The Last of Us like an exploration game, I think I examined every square foot of wallpaper in all the abandoned houses.
When I love a game world, then I soak it in and really take my time with every area. I took over 5000 screenshots in BotW and I'm not done yet 😁

They have those. It's not some hand-holdy formula, though.
You talk to people and they might tell you "do you see X in the distance? I heard...." or "people say that around X, they saw a Y" ...
It's just not super in-your-face.
You don't. There are at least three (and maybe four
unless I missed something in Kakariko
I want to complete the boss rush before beating Ganon.
I've entered from all cardinal directions. I did find a scale
near the docks, in a chest behind a bombable rock, but it was Dinraal's scalewhich I also needed, but which is not the one I am looking for now.
I've since explored most of the interior of the castle, and traveled most of the exterior paths, but I haven't scaled every wall on the outside. I have a feeling the thing I'm looking for is in an obscure bombable rock somewhere and it will be a real pain to find.
I wonder if I should wait for the DLC to hit before I get heart containers and pick up the master sword. I wonder what the combat trial reward will be.
Yeah, trial of the sword.
I also wonder if the trial of the sword is different in master mode.
Is that confirmed?
It is harder, in the same way as in the overworld, if I understood the Treehouse Live stream correctly. Actually, I don't understand how it's possible to beat it in Master Mode unless it's a perfect run. There doesn't seem to be that many weapons available on each stage, and the enemies regain strength if they aren't killed.
If you follow the trail of the old man's advice from the plateau until you reach
the Hateno Lab
Just to confirm since I haven't booted up the game in weeks and memory gets hazy when playing other JRPGs but today I decided to venture back into the game and take a snap shot.

Ooh nice. How many times does it deflect beams before it breaks?

How often does the Lord of the Mountain respawn? Sky was glowing blue and had to stop gaming, reloaded and it was gone. =/

Are you playing on Wii U? otherwise no reason to close a game on Switch ever.

How do koroks hang around on death mountain and not get burned to a crisp?
I just entered the last shrine I am currently able to access. Once I do this I think I'll stock up on food and finally tackle Ganon. There are only a few sidequests I have going that could distract me. I am running out of other things to do. I am a little frustrated by not being able to find the
in the castle, but I guess it won't be an issue for much longer.

Out of stuff to play until Uncharted: The Lost Legacy so decided to start the game over since I wasn't feeling it my 1st time thru and really enjoying it this time. This might be my 1st ever Zelda game that I complete.
got to roughly 22 deflects before the "shield is badly damaged" message appeared. Almost lost count as I was running out of guardians to find in same area which was around Hyrule Castle.

Not sure I want to spend 1000 rupees on the Ancient Shield when I can time the Beam deflections right back at them with any other shield.
Looks neat though. ;p

OMG this game is so good. No game has right to be this good. Amazing.
Now few questions:
I just got the quests to free divine beasts from the village. All the locations are scattered in various directions. Which one should I target first?
Also where do we get best clothes/armor? I unlocked that armor enhancing fairy too.
In that area, there was a big circular machine thing (similar to shrines where we drop mechanical balls in them to solve puzzles etc) but there was no ball nearby. Where do we get the ball?
And what about Amiibos? Which ones to buy? And what are these Amiibo cards? Are they legit?
