I bet my korok seeds that it was
Lurelin Village.

I spent a good 45 minutes in there deploying tactics which ranged from close combat to parrying to cowardly chucking bombs and firing arrows from cover.
It was an excellent part of the game that I could easily have walked right past. Other games might have steered you towards it and emphasised it as a big, important 'level'.

I'm consistently pleased with the minor NPCs in this game. I love how a random shop owner has a backstory of getting separated from her husband because he spent too much time with cucuos. And a guy whose wife passed away but his kids are convinced that she's just on a trip and coming back some day... I have to say that honestly, some of these characters are more compelling than the main story itself.
That's the one. I think I'm finally done with the game for now until the DLC drops. What a greatly fulfilling purchase.
I'm pretty sure I've explored most of Hyrule Castle at this point but I still can't find
. Where the crap is it?
It also kind of sucks that I can sometimes pull rusted equipment from what look like important places,
the Hylian Shield

restore them with an Octorok (is there a vacuum Octorok outside the lava area? It always freaks me out when I clean weapons there, because they sometimes get spit into lava right after) only to have them turn out to be some shitty 7 block shield.

I realized last night that I had barely explored Central Hyrule, mistakenly believing it was just a boring grass field. There's still a handful of neat things to find in this area!

How can I attack
in his second phase? I can't even reach him and he blocks my arrows with his shield.

That's what I'm thinking as well because that's the same village I unintentionally stumbled upon. I was just exploring and came across a shrine up the hill. Before I entered, I paused because I heard
peaceful, tropical music playing in the distance. I was like "Where's that coming from???" I looked down to the coast and BAM... a freaking village! One of my favorites too. A beautiful little place right on the coast. So peaceful. I could totally vacation there.

Magnesis when the poles shoot down. It will strike him with his own lightening
Speaking of that. Had anyone had any luck with the gambling
I'd argue that Wind Waker broke the portal rules, and did a lot to create a sense of really free travel, even if the far weaker hardware meant that they needed the empty patchs of water between places to limit the amount of geometry you need to handle.
In fact, I'm sure that they wanted to get rid of those portals, and that's the very reason Wind Waker is on a giant ocean.
Use the
magnesis to pull out the thunder pillars and make him electrocute himself

What do you mean by
"luck"
the higher price on my first try but after checking the payout was as low as in previous game, I didn't care... There's places where you can get 300 almost all the time for 20
Hmm
I find save scumming such a boring hassle.
I know it can be very effective in some games but the constant loading is too much for me

I got 1 rupee all the time :-(. I expect the prizes to be exponential but if it is 3* your bet it ain't worth it imo
Yeah a lot of my final shrines are in this general area. I'm having a nasty run of combat shrines.
I have two more shrines, and I'm saving Eventide for last. I have zero clue where this other shrine is, so if anyone wants to take a wild guess please feel free.

I have done three out four Divine Beasts, still have a ton left to do but am thinking of going for Ganon next weekend.
The game is great and all, but I'm getting antsy to play something else in the next few weeks.

Whenever a Yiga member attacks me, I always kill them with an ancient arrow. I don't know why, but they're the only enemies that I want dead "permanently" in my mind, sucked into a vortex.

Wow that 'hidden village' was the second one I found in game (which meant I did Eventide very early with 3 hearts and non-maxed stamina,) the way we all have different journeys is so cool.
I'm 3 beasts down and on my way to Zora's Domain and just beginning to break my blackout (hi!) and read other people's experiences.
The Gerudo beast was my first but I've noticed many did it last. The non-linear structure for this game was a master stroke.

Hmm not such a bad idea for the next one that interrupts my bug hunting. Such a nuisance.
Damn, I didn't check

Unless I'm mistaken, it is
(he told me I won, and it's the payout of past games, too). I don't think it worth the time.
And you can't cheat, as far as I know. When I discovered you could cheat in OoT... my mind was blown

After beating the game, you can play again from your last save, which will now have a star attached to it. The only difference is that you can now see how much of the map you've cleared so far. Enemies respawn after a Blood Moon... though I recommend just handing in the last memory now to get the full ending

Thanks. That would've taken me a long time to figure out.

Just beat the second divine beast, so now I'm trying to figure out how to get up this Gerudo tower coz it's windy.
I've had this, Uncharted, The Last Guardian and Killzone on rotation lately, but there's just something about Zelda. Makes me forget about the others whenever I'm in it.

I was thinking about this the other day and considering how Korok Seeds influenced the world design. You can often see the puzzles from very far away. For instance the 3 tree puzzles are usually on a hilltop. Was that hilltop always there? Did they have to embellish it to make sure the puzzle would stick out? Did they completely add a whole new hill?
It seems with 900 of them you'd just plop them down at random because it would require too much time to design an area around them. But here always had to be a consideration for what kind of puzzle could be where. And sight lines had to factor into that. The circle of rocks are usually in spots you'd glide over or see from on high.
I'd love to hear the developers discuss their integration.
Didn't get a response the first time, but I'll try again. Has anyone else noticed that when opening the map while you are moving Link with the left control stick that the cursor does not move unless you lift your finger off the control stick? Similar thing happened while I was ZL targeting an enemy and accessed my inventory. Is this normal?
I remember at E3 last year Aonuma didn't show villages because "the villages are interconnected with the story and overall world".
Well apparently they're just villages lol. I wonder if they were just not ready for showing or Aonuma really didn't want us to look at the villages back then.

Haha same here yesterday.
I made it through and activated the shrine, now I use it to farm guardian parts after a blood moon.

There are no villages on the Great Plateau, which is where all the demos (or nearly all) took place. That's why they weren't shown.

They didn't want to show us much of anything outside the plateau.
Mother of God. 118th shrine: discovery of Riverside Stable. 119th shrine: discovery of South Akkala Stable. Akkala Tower was like the second one I activated and I completely missed this one. I remember there was a huge thunderstorm when I got to the top and probably couldn't see it.
I expect the final battle to take place in a stable now.

Most of your complaints equate to 'the gameplay doesn't suit you'. You need good helpings of patience and a brain to play this game. It's not the game.

Sir!
Yeah, that's normal. I have this weird issue with my Pro controller that if I start the game on the gamepad and then switch to the Pro controller, the left stick drifts. It does the same thing in the menus.

Yeah I remember that spawning a lot of discussion about potential time travel, or resurrecting villages or some such.
Aonuma just being coy though
is there a shrine inside that I can port back to? this shit is shockingly big ;_;

I never realized this was a difficult area until I went on here, since I coincidentally entered the place while handgliding and caught all the updrafts in there without ever having to stop until I reached the end... Was still good fun, though
Yeah. On my try last night I had all going pretty decently (after I wasted all my arrows before noticing what needs to be done for the second phase) and when the third phase started it just kicked my ass. I rage quit at 2 in the morning. Luckily I got my shit together this morning. Fuck
Thunderblight teleporting right to you
Whatever their design process was, you can tell that the game wasn't made in a Ubisoft factory. Despite the vastness, there's a lot of order and logic (mostly videogamey) in the world

This is one of the best parts of the game to me. It's such a phenomenal feeling seeing so much interesting stuff no matter where you are and knowing you can get there and explore. The way Nintendo set the world up is just amazing.
