What's the easiest Lynel to try and take down? There is a side quest in
that needs something from one. I lucked out and took down the one with the shock arrows as I didn't realise I didn't have to - is that probably the weakest?
(I have the item needed for that side quest but my son doesn't)
korok forest
(I have the item needed for that side quest but my son doesn't)
A red one that carries a sword is the easiest to kill. The one on top of a mountain in Zora's Domain should probably fit the description.
They all get replaced with a Silver one once you beat them and trigger a Blood Moon, right?
Not the one on the Zora mountain, iirc. I remember that one being static.
Edit: when trying to remember the name of the mountain, all I could think of was "Polygamous" Mountain. I am a dysfunctional idiot.
Main Theme
Shiekah Tower
Attack on Vah Ruta
Dark Beast Ganon Phase 1
Korok Forest
Rito Village Theme
Nothing beats the Switch Presentation Trailer Theme though. That is just perfected epicness.

Gerudo Town's theme at night is so good. I spend most of my time in that town in the evening just to hear it.
Selling ore is one way, but cooking food and potions are quicker alternatives.
I heard it yesterday for the first time, when it slowed down for the night. Really good version of the theme!
Gerudo, Korok Forest, Rito, Lurelin, Hateno, Hyrule Castle are my current favorite themes among the location themes. (Haven't met Ganon yet.)
And I absolutely love how the
Tarrey Town
In the ambient music category, I really like Hebra mountains.
Same here. Day version is fun but the night made me just hang around and explore, such a great atmosphere.

Over 45hrs in, still have entered a dungeon and revealed the other half of the map. I'm just having a ball doing side quests, shrines and exploring. This game is absolutely massive.

The second part can be hard but I moved horizontally from the Korok in that part instead of following him directly, which works great. Also, h

This guy knows what's up.
That frantic piano on Dark Beast Ganon P1 theme just does it for me, even if the fight is terribly underwhelming
Also, Korok Forest generally is the most Zelda location in the entire game, while the rest of the game went in many different directions Korok Forest would feel at home in any of the past entries,.

The easiest way to take down a Lynel is to use a one handed sword and a good shield. Don't use two handed swords as you need to be quick with your shield for attacks when it charges at you. The shield greatly limits the damage the Lynel does to you.
Also if you damage a Lynel enough that it's dazed, run up to it and you should get the "Mount" command. Mount it's back and unleash extra hits on it.
Didn't read your spoiler tags - but yes, I'm just getting around to Death Mountain after finishing all the other bosses and... Wow. Yep, one of those moments like E

100 shrines, all divine beasts, and a lot of korok seeds. I guess I'll...fight Ganon tomorrow?
I never want this to end, this sucks
Honestly think I might start practicing speed runs when all is said and done, because I don't see myself quitting this game anytime soon. Too fucking good

Got really lucky with the infamous
shrine. After two near misses previously when my fast-travelling and mad dashing were to no avail, just now I happened to be nearby as
Also found one of the most visually-difficult memories - the one
Reached Wetland Stable for the first time and Pikango pointed me in the right direction. I have definitely walked straight past it once or twice recently.
Just three memories left. I know where one is and I'm pretty sure about the other two. It's just a case of getting round to visiting them.

the sky turned red. Hurried over, stripped down, stood on the pedestal and got one the game's most potentially frustrating tasks out of the way.

I already finished the game last week but I keep coming back to finish the rest of the side quests and finding all the shrines. Yesterday found one side quest and on my way to finish the side quest I found one more shrine, so I have one more regular shrine to go and 4 quest shrines. I don't think I will go and find all the korok seeds, but at least I want to find enough to max out my weapons and shields inventory. Anybody knows how many korok seeds you need in order to max out your inventory slots?

It's weird, I've been playing it at home, but almost purely in handheld. I guess it's just the fact, that you don't even have to change inputs, and also obviously family. But it's extra pick up and play, since you that extra lag of even having to bother to awake the PS4 from sleep mode, which is not long, and having to fire up the tv or change the inputs. It looks better on the TV, but still just play it on the handheld. But it's great to have the option to play it on the TV when I want.
Sorry this is the first time I am playing a Zelda game instead of watching friends play it, so I'm a bit bad. But I do think this game is just amazing. I've never actually been a fan of open world games, but this game is fun to travel around in and is pretty packed.
I've lit the blue flame at the ancient tech place, the tower like place, and the objective is to go to the director to repair the sheikah plate. But the glowing dot is right where the ancient tech place where you light the blue flame. Where is this director? I can't seem to find it.

I just beat my first DB, and as soon as I did, the quest markers for the other ones went away. And when I check my main quests, that main quest line is nowhere to be seen. In fact, I have no main quests open to me. I went to Zora town and collected my reward, so I think I've completed this quest. It says complete, but nothing else opened up. Any advice?
I believe you alredy got to the person that upgrades the slate and they told you they need the blue flame on their engine to proceed.
f*** yeah. that piano just has a mind of it's own, it doesn't care at all for what the main melody is trying to do. two opposing forces.
i agree the fight was underwhelming but the music totally had me pumped still. and when it does the OoT Ganon intro for a split second? nice

Love the game. Only wish the story were a bit better, less formulaic.. and the voice-acting is pretty bad (why no japanese voiceover option? Space-constraints I guess). Other than that this is my favourite zelda-game so far. Im not even close to finished with the main quest though.
The game autosaves frequently, it is much easier to rollback 5 min wherever you are and warp to activate the shrine. I really don't get the struggle people are having with it
Lanayru
Not sure whether it creates a separate main quest once you trigger the relevant conversation in each area, but if so, you should just have to go back into the quest menu and reselect the general quest for the DBs. I remember having to do that.
Are you in the right quest menu? Also, it seems to auto scroll to the bottom of the quest menu sometimes and you have to go back to the top to see the active quests.

Went in with the blue tunic, a circlet, and a two-handed claymore sword. Never found out where to get decent armor that's used for combat at the time
Is the circlet worth it? You can't wear it at the same time as an armour headpiece so I thought the lack of set bonus would make it less useful?

Thank you very much sir, that makes sense as that is what the map says. Saved me a lot of time. Thought I had lit the engine but I think that was something else.
I'd meaning to get a pro, but when playing docked I love the joy cons. Two handed gaming is just so comfortable.
While making my avatar I also made this one. It's free for the taking if anyone wants it! (i didn't do the pixel art, abysswolf did, i just resized for gaf)
The Diamond Circlet is tied for the highest defense (along with the Knight's Helmet and the

I do love when the subtle main theme kicks in when riding your horse at night. Also, Hateno Village is great. I love the music when you're outside a completed shrine. I love the little musical flourishes, that have an Arabian kind of style to theme, when you're around the southwest of the map. Rito Village is top notch.
I see this soundtrack getting a lot of flack - but it's one of my favorites in recent memory.
The amber earrings also has max def.
Scroll upwards in that menu. When a quest is completed, it is moved to below all active ones. Since the completed quest is still selected, it might look like no quests are available.
Beat all 120 shrines yesterday.
Feel a bit stupid. For some reason I thought
I could have beaten that shrine ages ago.
The 119th took me ages to find. It was
Because it was a shrine quest it never set my sensor off. I'm guessing I missed a bit of text hinting towards it being there.
First post in the OT since after almost 200 hours I feel it's finally safe to read things about this game.
Feel a bit stupid. For some reason I thought
the orb in Kakriko Village would be the 120th so I never thought of tackling it before I did the other 119 simply because they made it sound like you had to prove your worth first. It was only upon returning and seeing nothing changed that I realised that I needed to do something else to unlock it (turns out I missed the firefly quest) and
Well at least kicking the arse of another annoying Yuga brute was a good way to finish things off.
The 119th took me ages to find. It was
the Goron Brothers in the Gerudo Highlands. I thought I already been through that part, multiple times, but obviously bypassed that tiny sliver of cliff and missed them.
Likely because I had already done their other challenge ages ago so hadn't really thought about them for ages so didn't check their house or talk to them at Death Mountain.
Liking the tunic design.

Okay, someone please give me the cheese solution for the shrine beside Woodland Stable. Particularly the puzzle at the very end that you have to solve to get the final chest. I've broken hammers and reloaded saves for about an hour now and I'm getting very frustrated.
Or at least a tip. It's beginning to seem impossible.

It doesn't have to be over, you still have 20 shrines to go. And once you beast Ganon you'll be able to see completion percentages, so you can aim for all sidequests too.100 shrines, all divine beasts, and a lot of korok seeds. I guess I'll...fight Ganon tomorrow?

You know it man. I can't muster any enthusiasm for anything else.
Well, besides Hollow Knight, I might give that a spin.

I'm at work right now and away from my Switch, so this is probably really obvious, but where does it show that?
Wow. Ok, thanks.
Upgrade the runes first. You get more relevant gameplay functionality and / or shorter cooldowns on them.
Oh yeah, I forgot about those. Probably because it got the Diamond Circlet way before having the ability to buy other jewelry.
what do the upgrades actually do? i haven't had any issues so far?
Great tips here, thank you. I need to improve my parrying skills. I think I'll go back into the shrine in
Kakariko
Sensor+: Let's you set it to search for things other than shrines
Bomb+: Double bomb damage, half recharge time
Stasis+: freeze enemies
I think it's about 450.
My sister-in-law babysat for us the other night, and saw my inventory screen as I saved the game before handing the screen over to her. She's been playing a lot herself, and mentioned I had a crazy amount of gemstones. I have around 10 diamonds and 150+ of some of the others. I did not think this was exceptional... there are deposits all over the map and Talus minibosses are piñatas of ore. She has played more of the story than I have and has a better idea of what is needed for upgrading equipment. She recommended I sell some of what I've collected. I wonder how much I could make if I sold off 100 each of the various kinds of stones. I don't even know how much they sell for.
Hmm. Now I'm curious if I can find it out in the wild rather than spend precious diamonds and rupees on one

Favorite game for me since Halo 3. Been a long time since I've been this enamored and enjoyed a game this much.
Thank you Nintendo!
