I believe sometimes you can see a flock of birds circling over a shrine. Though I think this occurs with shrines you've already completed too.
But I do remember one specific shrine where I had the same problem as you, and all I can say is that there are a fair amount of shrines underground/in caves.

Sir!
Yes there are. There aren't a ton of them, and they aren't huge, but they exist.
I haven't found all shrines yet, but there was one specific shrine (

Look at your map and look for named areas in which you haven't found a shrine or something else significant nearby.
Why would shrines be worse in certain locations though? Most are completely separate from the location and the devs could have developed them in isolation before randomly scattering them in their desired locations?

What are your thoughts on the dungeon music?
Personally I think they are amazing. My favorite one is Vah Rudania, because it sounds so catchy and traditional. But every single one of them is just outstanding.

They are precious few and not exactly what I'm looking for. One room little alcoves don't inspire the same sense of intrigue.
I really loved the shrine
behind the waterfall.

I can actually think of two such shrines and a couple other little caves with chests
behind waterfalls
It's great, isn't it?

I've put in 40 hours into the game and I still don't know how to shield surf. Do they ever teach you how to do it?
Also, I found the
. Does the game give you hints to the location of the other stuff (
)? I dont want to look at the guide if I don't have to. Just want to know how difficult is it to find on my own.
Also, I found the
Master Sword
i.e. Hyrule Shield, Epona, Tunic
I've been rocking
Cap of the Wild dyed light blue, Champion's Tunic, Hylian Trousers. The light blue doesn't match the tunic's blue 1:1, but it still looks nice.
Also,
I'm quite disappointed in the set bonus from the Wild outfit. Does it even do anything? It says it boosts your Master Sword sword beams, but they still only do 15 damage when not glowing and 30 when powered up. I was hoping for the Wild set to be the ULTIMATE set, with full cold and heat res, climbing speed up, etc.

I don't have 100 hours to put into a game. 55 still ranks it in my top 5 most played games ever.
And obviously I didn't look everywhere, I just meant that I spent a good several hours the other day exploring places and wasn't able to find anymore shrines.
The good thing is: You have still so much cool things to find! Provided you're still motivated to keep playing the game.
As a hint for exploring, if you're really unsure what you haven't seen yet: Inspect the map closely. I've found tons of thing just by looking at the map. A small pond with a peculiar shape? A lonely island somewhere out on the sea? Some strangely shaped structures in the mountains?
Exploring towards these POIs and not getting sidetracked too hard shows so much of the game world.
Thanks for the tip. I'm done with the it for now but I imagine I'll pick it up for my Switch eventually and maybe start a new game. I'll keep these things in mind

So many interesting things get mentioned in here. Think it's time for me to start looking up some of these locations I haven't found. I'm over 70 hours in and long since beat the game, got the memories etc. I've been just exploring parts of the map where I hadn't found shrines yet and that's been a mixed bag for me as I find a bunch of stuff in a few places, but end up bored (as the world and exploration angle long since wore off for me) and finding little in long stretches.

I'm at the point where I don't have to fear Guardian's anymore... so I rolled up to the F

I finished the game last night and thought it was pretty funny when the game told me I was at like 21% completion. Got all memories and Divine Beasts, but I'm only at like 70 shrines or so.
Really enjoyed this game, and I'm looking to check out the places I missed. There's a whole map area that I haven't unlocked yet.
I was storming Hyrule Castle with the intention to finish the game, but almost accidentally skipped the entire level by climbing the tower above Zelda's room and just floating straight to the last boss room from there. It looked like a boss room but I was like "okay, you can't just walk away after seeing this" so I decided to finish things even though I hadn't explored the castle.
The final fight was a bit underwhelming but it looked cool in terms of scale and music. Kinda disappointed the final form of Ganon didn't do more to attack me.
It also sucked that clearing all the divine beasts only served to halve Ganon's health. Dude, I could have done that a lot faster with an attack food.
I thought I was going ot put down the game and stop afterwards, but I just loaded right back in to explore the rest of Hyrule Castle and check out the many places I didn't do.

Absolutely. They're quite fun and have some great rewards.

It's mentioned on the great plateau. And I think it can probably be found in the menu somewhere after that. Or you can just click on this spoiler tag and find out
Raise shield, jump, press a while in the air
Hyrule shield I stumbled upon, and you can definitely miss it. Epona you can only get with an amiibo. And if by Tunic, you mean the traditional green garb, that is also locked behind an amiibo. The blue shirt seen in the trailers, that you get just by doing some of the story missions.
Edit: I'm wrong about the tunic.

Apparently doing all of the
Divine beasts
the -blight Ganon's from appearing at the boss first before you can even attempt Calamity Ganon.
halve his life bar, they let you skip basically a boss-rush mode.
Actually
the Tunic of the Wild you can get by completing all 120 shrines
Oh?
I actually would have enjoyed that. That's pretty cool.
Part of my fun in the game is just going around looking for a fight lol.

Yeah, that's what happened to me.
I've cleared out the majority of guardians and turrets outside as well as two lynels and while I was traveling through Hyrule Castle interior blood moon happened. Every single thing I worked so hard to clear out respawned before I could leisurely explore all nooks and crannies. Really hurt and I ultimately just rushed with Revali's gale towards final boss after grabbing Hylian Shield without killing anything.
Still, Hyrule Castle is fantastic, exploring it felt great, it's the highlight of the game and it's a shame there weren't more open dungeon-esque locations in the game. Simply exploring the abandoned place, filled with monsters, tons of great loot and a boss tucked away that protected the main item. Felt like what this game should have been more like.

Man
divine beast was super disapointing, by far the worst one, and easily the most simplistic (and easiest). Dunno how people can say
is the worst after that.
Anyway thats all 4 down, time to wrap this badboy up.

I don't post into OTs that much (except for Xenoblade X, but that was like a small community discovering Mira together) and I stayed out of BotW's OT as I felt that my rhythm is much slower than average (going by twitter posts) and the spoilers on Twitter were already enough, but I felt the need to post now out of frustration.
Because I hate the fact that crouch is done by clicking on the left stick and that while on crouch several actions are blocked. I go on crouch too much during the heat of the battle when I try to move around and that fucked me more than once. I want customisable controls ffs.
Also fuck
from the Divine Beast
I had no fun fighting you. Just pure, unaltered anger. Which made me not abandon it although I wanted to several times. Especially when trying to get the shield out of the crouch position I ended up because of the left stick willingness to be clicked at all times. (or my panic)
and its divine beast was my favourite so far.

So I ran into the Beedle yesterday and he gave me a free
. Is that the best way to beat them? The only one I've beaten I just kinda followed a pattern of arrow, slash with sword rinse and repeat. But I have a feeling that might have been a pretty easy one?
arrow that's supposed to do a lot of damage to guardians

The only redeeming facet of having them all attack you all the time, even after beating him, is seeing all the funny dialogue when you talk to "travelers" on the road. Plus free weapons basically all the time.
It's one of the easiest ways to beat them, yes, but those are hard to come by and very expensive once you find a place to "buy" them. You can also
chop off their legs one by one

I did a very bad thing and now I own all the Zelda amiibo. They should be waiting for me when I get home today.

Please tell me you didn't get a significant number of them from resellers.
After all that, you're just now discovering a village???? Wow!! :O How is this even possible???
Edit: I assume you mean you randomly stumbled across a village you didn't even know existed.
Just a random thought.... I don't think this has ever happened with any other game for me, but multiple times I've been exploring the world and just stopped and thought, "Holy shit this world is so amazing and beautiful, what a game!"
Everything about this game is just so beautiful and perfect to me.

Omg. How did I just put together now that guardian weapons might be named that way for a specific purpose/reason. Good to know, thanks!
There's a NPC at a small hill at a road (not at a stable) in central Hyrule that I know teaches it. You can also buy shields nearby there. Don't remember if it's taught in Hebra or not.
The game scale in the other direction. The more you fight, the more harder enemies you'll get. But the weapons scale at as well, so it doesn't matter that much IMO.
Nope full on revenge mode!

There is some nice stuff in those.
Same here. Sometimes, I'll just stop in my tracks and take in the beauty and atmosphere. I love taking pics of the scenery. I find the most beautiful shots come from high atop the mountains with the beautiful sunrises/sunsets.

Lol, well yes you can do that as well and the freedom to do so is great but I never found skipping content as fun. I always want to see everything a game has to offer.
It feels like the first Zelda game to take full advantage of the 3D free camera perspective. It breaks completely from what is even possible in the 2D games. Formerly you'd have map chunks with a minimap and clear, intended portals for ingress and egress. This model was shared between every previous Zelda game, regardless of where it placed the camera. Now you see the world, which is a far different experience. It's the first time Nintendo has crafted a Zelda experience that feels completely unique to the 3D perspective.
