I do this before leaving any shrine to make sure I didn't miss any chests.
Question concerning meeting characters out of the prescribed sequence:
Is it not possible to meet Robbie and his wife before Purah tells you about them? I went to the Akkala Ancient Lab out of sequence but there is no one there. I was able to meet Purah and her assistant out of sequence.
Nope. You have to go in order.

This is true for the Wii U version as well? Should have specified originally I guess.

Well no, not in the same way. There are still no differences between any version, though. Default languages are always determined by your system settings, btw. No matter where you play.

Scrolling through the map history thing was really fun, it was funny to instantly recall certain gameplay moments in the game just by looking at where you went in the game.
Like finding a Lynel for the first time when you were collecting shock arrows..

I'm beginning to detest Tarrey Town.
It's supposed to be my town but every time I visit I'm only reminded of the 100 trees I had to chop or blow up to bring it to being.

Yeah, I hated getting the wood for Tarrey Town, too. I managed to spare a number of trees by getting wood from some of the stables and harvesting some already-cut logs (primarily from the stable near
Rito Village
north of Hyrule Castle
I can't help but think to myself sometimes that this game should be called Land Raping Simulator 2017.

Doesn't really explain the amiibo rewards for the former
I had tons of wood from playing so long before ever getting to Tarrey town. Too many visits to the apple orchard at Mt. Satori.
After sitting on this ending a while I think the one thing I feel is missing from BotW is a real dramatic thrust or urgency for the player. Nothing seems hurried and too much of the world is untouched by the current incarnation of Ganon. In most cases the villages are only mildly inconvenienced by the divine beasts. Enemies don't encroach on villages and every NPC seems happy and well protected. A few key players intone ominous warnings and describe how scary the world has become, but there is no evidence for this. There is no emotional push forward, little sense of the stakes. This is maybe best demonstrated by the final battle,
I'm not looking for a heavier emphasis on story, only more weighty stakes. The closest thing to what I want is in the Rito village, where
But this is barely addressed and ends up treated as a footnote in Link's quest.
Too much of the game is absorbed in hero worship of Link. Zelda's journals are all about Link. It's as if she has no life of her own separate from her relationship to him. I thought the Zora's reaction to his return was great, really great, but it's that kind of element that is missing in so much of the rest of the game.

where we are warned beast Ganon will soon unleash the greatest destruction Hyrule has ever seen, and he just stands there and marches in a circle, while the player is free to ride way out into the distance and witness himself just how small Ganon even in his beast form remains in the grand scheme of things. Ganon can't even aim at you, he attacks in a simple pattern and his beam doesn't travel far enough to cause what could be any believably dire chaos.

one man-bird is willing to take on the divine beast himself, despite the consequences of his death on his wife and children.

Nintendo is really stupid with soundtracks. Last generation they released them only via Club Nintendo rewards or pre-order bonuses of select tracks.
I'd love a disc set at least. I'm not holding my breath (lol) for Spotify. Nintendo needs to embrace retail CDs lol.

Okay guys, I give up. What's the deal with The Two Rings Shrine Quest? The only thing I haven't tried is making a ring of fire in the grass or something, but I'm all out of fire arrows.
Shoot an arrow through two rings. There's a pair of rings that lines up, just shoot a single arrow through both.
They had them for the special editions of the game, but that's about it.

Thanks. Found it. Thought that was the solution, but I just wasn't finding the right pair.
Yea. If anything the memories are all about Zelda's struggles with what's expected of her and how she wants to live her life. The journal as well. If anything she's got the most clearly defined character in the entire game.

So after about 150 hours, I finally assualted Hyrule Castle. What an epic experience: The atmosphere, music, encounters with the guardians, and layout of the castle was a really refreshing change, especially when you are at the point where you have completed all other main quests, side quests, towers, shrines, purchased / upgraded most of the armor etc (exploring remains fun, but at that point things get repetitive). The final battle felt really satisfying to me.
After I watched the end credits, I looked online and found that I missed the

has calmed down a bit.
Hey guys, quick question: if I purchase the dlc, will it be available to all players with profiles on my switch? My daughter is playing through the game and I want her to have access to the content as will as me.
I happened to go to the castle early and found that particular item. Been flashing it around Hyrule ever since. Gives me street cred at the stables.

What makes it worse was that I was exploring the area where that item is and completely missed it.
Apparently I did too! I beat the game 30 hours ago and didn't even know I missed it.
Yes, it's available on every profile.

Can't find a generic Switch thread, but I'll try here: does anyone know what to do if both joycons have stopped working? The lights don't come on if I press anything. And yes, I've put them back in the console (in the dock) to recharge.
I used them just yesterday and they were sitting in the controller handle until now.
Edit: Nevermind, pushing the sync button made them come to life. Weird.

I would check that one thread but it's been an absolute, child-like joy discovering a lot of these things so I want to wait until I beat the game and make my playthrough as "pure" as possible.
I discovered the bit about updrafts because I think it shows up as a tip in game, and there's a Korok by Skull Lake that basically requires you to get to the top in a hurry.
That said I'm curious what you mean by cooking without a pot (do you mean just putting the food on the fire and roasting it? Or is there something else I've been missing all this time?)
And how do you clean rusty weapons? I assumed it was possible given how much they pop up, but I assumed there was some blacksmith I took them to our an item that I just haven't found yet.

certain Octoroks.
There's a place on death mountain that basically tutorializes it through environmental cues.

For cooking without pot I read this:
Drop raw foods on a fire, they catch fire and cook, the fire goes out and they are darker, if they are still touching the fire tho, they catch fire agai and if you do't recollect them before they overcook they dissappear, presumably burned to ash.
For cleaning rusty weapons:

Can someone tell me how Link isn't burning in the above video? Some type of armor or elixir?
