The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT3| Your Free Time is Badly Damaged

Every book you can find. I'm sure there are a ton I never saw, but some of the ones I did see had some good character stuff in them.
There are several journals in the game which give some backstory on why certain things are the way they are or show certain characters' perspectives on issues. The most interesting ones are in
Hyrule Castle.

NPCs will also sometimes tell you stories about landmarks. Like what happened at this battlefield, or how the Dueling Peaks got split in half.
Yep. They should make that work with the door

I guess, it was more like
Wind Wakers ending but that one had more finality to it
a problem or something happening at Zora's Domain which was just odd if there is no follow up unless Link and Zelda are just gonna go around Hyrule fixing stuff.

I tried exploring the Hebra region while listening to some Wintersun and Amon Amarth. It was just as badass as I imagined it, would recommend.

I don't remember what the reward was
(I think just rupees?)
So, if you mean the tangible reward, probably not.
Ok thanks. I suspected as much. At this point I'm just grinding to upgrade armor, do the last Divine Beast and then finish up. I don't think I have it in me to find all the shrines.

I agree. One of the highlights in this game for me was my first reconnaissance round about the volcano, just climbing every peak, gliding down, mining ore... such simple thing to do and still I loved it.

I feel so stupid. I ran up the volcano with 6 bottles of this anti-fire-elixir and had a pretty rough time. I also only realized at the top that I had to shoot the titan three times with a cannon.. (which I did not obviously)
I said "fuck it", used an older save and went completely down the mountain to buy a fire protection suit. Much easier now.. :|

I think if you just stand there resting at a bonfire over and over its never going to happen. I did that too. Just keep playing and when its night check the moon, then teleport straight away and sprint like a mofo
Yeah if they must keep hearts, I would prefer they be contextual. The stamina gauge already is. I would really prefer they not exist and that health be represented some other way, like color of light on the sheikah slate. Stamina too. Stamina exertion is already represented through animation by beads of sweat. Why not represent when Link is close to failure by slowing down the animation and making it clear he is struggling?
Don't think that would fly. If you put your weapon away with two hearts remaining and then run around for ten minutes before encountering another enemy, you'll have forgotten the health situation. Setting the player up for cheap death like that isn't something Nintendo usually does.
A dude in Tarrey Town will sell you one for 3k, is my understanding

This is correct.

EDIT: Accidentally used quote tags instead of spoilers. Sorry about that.
Addendum: you might also get one at random from the BotW Zelda amiibo, the Internet says
I would have it so that Z-targeting an enemy also displays hearts. In addition, the pause menu always displays hearts and stamina - the frequency of weapon and armor changes would assure the player is kept up to speed at some point.
But yeah, there's always a balance to be struck. I think having player control over individual HUD elements would be best. I do enjoy how minimalist it is compared to SS, for instance. The hearts are also a cool throwback to Zelda 1.

Also I just found out how to spin my weapons while riding a horse just like enemies do... 200 hours later O.O

Can we talk about how bad the targeting system is? I was fighting a Lynel
and one of those red mouth spawners were constantly dropping floating skulls into the arena.
I tried desperately switching to the Lynel, but the game constantly wanted me to target the skulls on the other side of the room. Just add a cycle button!

Yeah, this is easily the worst z-targeting has ever been. Camera in general is bad for combat.
I haven't really come to grips with the new targeting system. It sometimes refuses to lock on even at close range. I don't know what causes it to be so finicky. It seems to want really specific conditions before it will lock. Height variations throw it off. Minor obstructions throw it off. I end up just not using it much of the time.
Seriously, if folks want to talk about what's wrong with the game, this and the inventory (shield/bow) are the worst. The z camera is trash, like seriously, it's worse than sm64 at points. Why is the z-camera allowed to get behind the lynel and block link? I get they're going for a cinematic feel, but you have to claw or you can't even dodge sometimes.

Absolutely not. The extended ending when you find all the memories is
literally a minute long. It's just Zelda talking to Link while they're on their way to Vah Ruto, which seems to have some mechanical issues, most likely setting up future DLC
Well... Don't keep us all in the dark!

Making sure I cover every square inch of Hyrule castle before heading up to Ganon. Really love how it was constructed and makes me wish there were more interior environments in the game like it.
please elaborate
Ehh, I never had the problems people have been talking about with locking on except when an enemy is above you, which only really came into play vs
Thunderblight
The only time I had a problem with the camera was vs. Stone Talus where it gets stuck on the Talus body and if you try to circle around you can't see shit.
The real problem with the combat though is crouch being on L3. I died a lot due to accidentally crouching in the middle of a fight and not being able to pull up my shield because of it. They should have at least let you shield while crouching.
Jim said it was a 'good' game, so you don't agree with him.

Ooh tell me that one, I musta missed that.
They talk about it at the
lakeside stable.

If you want to know which NPC talks about it:
Shay at Lakeside Stable.
If you want me to just spoil it:
One of the dragons split it in half to "forge a way through."

Was reluctant top enter it at first, but it is something else. So well-made, and with tonnes of great weapons. Will definitely farm there from now on.
If you want to see why this game got the praise it has gotten, you can simply take the testimonial of the various people who have played the game at their word. It's not that hard. Their opinion doesn't invalidate yours.
And again, Jim said the game was "good". So no, he doesn't agree with your assessment.
There are visual cues and a logic to the world design to look out for. You should be paying attention to those things first and foremost. The Shrine Sensor should alert you that something nearby is worth investigating.

Finally finished after 180 hours. Absolutely loved it and surprised any single player game could keep me engaged at this deep of a level for that long. Can't wait for the dlc and what they make next.
Now to continue to search for the shrines I haven't found yet and side quests I never encountered... And to explore randomly which I love doing in this game,

The only thing cheap about this game is the VA budget.

I'm finally at 400 Korok seeds and I'm starting to wonder how much more I can find before I turn to a guide. Though in my search I've found more overworld bosses that I missed.
