Shit, I should just do this. I've been bombing the, but that always sends me scattering to scrounge up whatever was inside.

Haha same. She sure moved on quick though.
That was a fun quest. Its bittersweet because now I have only 7 more shrines left to unlock
I also found a crap ton of korok seeds. You just get into a rhythm and start discovering these little secrets hidden away in this world. So many secret pathways and walls you can break and little hills to climb over. You just gotta be observant.

I keep thinking I'm invincible, and yet from time to time
gets triggered. Perhaps I'm not the hotshot I think I am?!?!?

I think the materials seem to scatter just as much with either method, but I may be misremembering or not paying enough attention. On a similar note it is really not fun to come across ore on a ledge, especially over water, where no matter where you place a bomb it seems to go flying too far to obtain (into the water) or be worth heading down. Especially in a rainy area.
Speaking of, how often are you all finding diamonds? We've found...9? In 85 hours or so.

Some of those Zora kids aren't kids tho right?

Thats the only reason I havent had any game overs in like 70-80 hours. That and eating a crap ton of food. Im considering shutting it off for maximum difficulty.
A bit too emo tho. I guess that's what happens when you live in a watery place that's been raining all the time.

If it helps, there's a Zora who can help you out with diamond allocations after you finish their side quest.
All of the short Zoras are, aren't they?

I guess you are exploring the southeast region for the remaining shrines? There's one well-hidden shrine there. Hope you looking forward to it.
Yes, I love the Koroks seeds, especially those involving fruit trees.

Holy shit, the Test of Wood is a huge asshole.
The blind corner octorocks that knock you into a bog. The ice archer stalfos that freeze you then knock you into a bog. The apparent shortcuts that turn out to be out of bounds. THE GODDAMNED ELECTRIC KEESE HIDING IN A JAR. This trial is just designed to be infuriating.

Some of them are adults(?) that haven't had their 'growth spurt' yet. According to how they're presented ingame, they're apparently at least old enough to consent.

I don't mind the bangs appearance so much since it's more convincing of their aquatic background

I'm pretty one told me they were an adult, just haven't physically grown yet. They said they were older then Link
What complicates matters is their lifespan. An adult Zora is "less than a hundred years old". It has never really been stated how old the kid looking Zoras are, but even though they are "children" to other Zora, some of them seem to be older than what most humans (Hylians?) consider a child or teenager. Genetics in Hyrule is weird!
That seems pretty unlikely since Link is over a hundred years old. Unless they don't count cryo!
I was looking at the snow peak from Lake Tower and it seemed like nothing. It's a tiny hill. And yet when I first climbed it, it seemed so daunting.

Ooohhhh you're right. Forgot about that
Well, I sure hope so...

Just farming guardians now. They don't drop nearly enough cores.
Eh, it was supposed to be subtle.
If you saw the Silent Princess memory, Zelda described the flower as being unable to be domesticated, thriving only in the wild. It's meant to represent her feeling out of her element in trying to awaken her "holy power" and feeling more at home with her research/archaeology/etc. It supposedly goes extinct after the Calamity event (as do Zelda and Link).
But it then reappears alongside Link while you play through the current-day timeline. They're usually found in "magical" places - around fairy fountains, around the Master Sword pedestal, and on Satori Mountain. Then when you get to Zelda's wing of the castle, you find one growing in her room, meaning she did manage to domesticate one and it may be possible that spores from this flower spread and and lead to those other ones showing up.
Additionally, the flower seems to be symbolic in-game/world as well. There's a couple that seems to be on a hunt for them as they claim it to be a symbol of love and want to reinforce their relationship or something of that nature (can't remember the exact quote). Couple that with the "true ending" scene of Link/Zelda reunited, Link running towards her midst a whole field of Silent Princesses and the obvious connotation there is that the flower is also representative of their romance.
I haven't completed the game yet so I'd wager there's probably even more detail hidden in small scenes/interactions.

I got to Rito Village and raced the kids home during sunset. I won so its now my home. Yall can roost somewhere else, losers!
Yup! Looks like I completely forgot to explore the Lake Tower and Faron regions. Ive seen a few parts but left large chunks unexplored. All of north eastern Faron is new to me right now. Crazy.

On top of that, Urbosa, who lived 100 years ago as a grown woman, left behind her daughter, who looks like a tween @_@
Um Urbosa isn't her mom, LOL.

Riju is not Urbosa's daughter.

They needed to mess with the ageing process and the way culture is passed on within various races, to support the 100 year time skip in this story.

We only had one Zora age in OoT and that was Ruto becoming an Adult within 7 years. It might very well be like it is now in Botw. with the kids.
Personally i like to believe that they have about twice the Hylian lifespan, so about 200 years.
In retrospect Ruto wanting to get married when she looked like she was 13 or something makes a lot more sense now that we know how long Zoras live. And 7 years is just long enough that it's believable she could have a growth spurt in that time.
Not that nintendo cares about continuity or anything.

Ok, after playing nearly 200 hours, im going to give a conplain, and hoping nintendo could make a little adjustment. Am i the only one that the freakin sheikah sensor sound is getting on my nerves? I litterally cant hear it anymore. Please Nintendo, create some new sound effect so it can be less annoying to my ears. ( And yes turning it off resolve the problem, but i just want some customizable sounds for it... )

pls tell me oktoroks
aren't a common enemy
I read theres a way of keeping the Sheikah Sensor on but turning the noise off, where is that option? Wish there was an icon for items in that you are in range of picking up, and aren't in your compendium.

Kind of. Just use magnesis to check them. Real chests turn red and the enemies won't, and they never imitate wooden chests.
They're pretty rare, which means they almost always catch you off guard.

Having trouble with shrine, ' Kema Kosassa Shrine" , " A major test of strength"
Basically, my weapons are not good enough because they don't do enough damage, and I'm using a 50dmg sword. Should I just leave it as it is and come back later or try some new techniques? There's water on the floor but I don't have shock arrows at the moment.

Went back to Goron City for some spice and ended up starting two new sidequests that I didnt know existed. Seeing NPCs with the red "!" gets me so freakin excited, especially 160 hours in.

Lol. I think seriously i would enjoy it more!
Wear barbarian armor or use an attack up food/potion. Then use upgraded statis on it. Attack away. Run to recharge statis. Repeat. Easiest fights ever.
So are rito and Zora no longer connected as a race as wind waker implies?
You can cook razorshrooms or other similar stuff for attack or defense buffs if you're inclined to.
You should be more than fine with that attack power. Just don't over extend the two handed swings, try to get the dodge slow motion when it attacks or rely on the charged spin to move behind it dealing massive damage. You can just dash out of the way for his charge and major laser blast and for the area attack just retreat and then glide with the draft for a falling strike fhat stuns them. A 50 2h sword should do 60% before breaking probably.

You make it sound easy, I'm still fairly weak!. Don't have that barbarian armour, just some basic stuff I bought from a village. So you can use statis on enemies? Need better potions too.
They are mixed up usually when there's sand.
If you have a 50 attack weapon you're not weak. I stayed the hell away from Major Test shrines for the longest time too because they seemed hard. But they are really not. You need upgraded Statis to use it on enemies tho.

And you can't save too. So you have to
stealth your way with bananas through it?
Ok, Upgrading it will be my next thing on the list. Thanks.
