I wonder if there will be a 'master' strategy guide released once the DLC drops? Hrm. I've never bought a guide since DLC has been introduced.

 

[Fuzzy]

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.

Amber 30
Opal 60
Luminous Stone 70
Topaz 180
Ruby 210
Sapphire 260
Diamond 500

You can get more though from

[Lord Azrael]

I'm at work right now and away from my Switch, so this is probably really obvious, but where does it show that?

Haven't beaten the game yet myself so not sure, but I assume quest completion percentage will show up in the quest menu. Map completion shows up in the bottom left corner of the map.

Also just noticed my post got autocorrected to "beast Ganon" instead of "beat Ganon", but I suppose it's appropriate!

 

[Heero5]

Hmm. Now I'm curious if I can find it out in the wild rather than spend precious diamonds and rupees on one

Yeah I found one (actually my brother found it and let me know), though I did use a bunch of diamonds to upgrade the Circlet.

 

[atr0cious]

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.

Has anyone found a way to revert them, or are they supposed to be that way?

Thanks! I'll give this a try right away.

Most of my launches were hitting the target, but had just the slightest bit too much power so they'd hit the rim and keep flying.

Anyone get the Deluxe Edition guide? I know it is supposed to release today.

I totally did, but I don't want to open it til I find all the shrines. I don't want to be tempted to look up the last two I need.

I missed out and now only Barnes and Noble has it, but for MSRP. Was hoping to nab this Deluxe version, but not at MSRP. Curious people's feedback on the deluxe version.

All I can say is: if you want it, I really hope you have the room for it it's Hinox sized.

 

[Chaos17]

Playing Persona 5, story driven game make me crave for Zelda simple story. Sometimes when you don't know how to develop your story then just stay simple damn it. 80% of my playtime has been about reading and yet I can't say I'm happy with Persona 5 story. While instead in Zelda, I wanted more story because I craved for more. I don't crave at all in Persona 5...

 

[Sh0k]

I think it's about 450.

Thanks, I think I'm up to 250 Korok seeds at the moment.

 

[Shadowhelper]

Aaaaa the shrine where you have to move a ball around a pinball like platform using the joy cons gyroscope is really hard and annoying. Considering skipping this shrine but I really don't want to.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

So,favorite NPC?

Gonna go with Kass. I love his Shrine riddles and that accordeon is really soothing, especially when it's dark and rainy and you hear it in the distance.

+1

His 'storyline' is great, too. Just a very endearing character.

 

[duckroll]

Damn today was productive. I went EVERYWHERE foresty looking for that last photo memory. Found it in the end but only after clearing a couple of extra quests and finding like 5 shrines I didn't know existed, and two more stables. Unbelievable. <3

Found the last memory too. That was easy.

Now I just need to clear a few more quests (I say this every week!) and then it's Ganon time!

The marble maze. It's not difficult, just don't over correct your tilt, the ball has a lot of weight to it. Or you could do like many have and just flip the maze upside down.

 

[Pinky]

So what's everyone's favorite theme so far in the game?

So far? The theme that plays while traversing Death Mountain. A nice nod to the

Spoiler

Level 9 theme from the very first game.

Once I realized what it was, I was like "Ooohhhh shit!!" :O

Runner ups would be Goron City and Rito Village

(nice nod to Wind Waker)

.

Probably Yunobo. What a big, lovable goof.

Spoiler

Teaming up with him and ascending Death Mountain to board Vah Rudania was a lot of fun. The stop and go strategy to avoid being spotted by the sentries was pretty cool too.

+1 for Kass, I wish Nintendo or another company releases a Kass figure or at least an Amiibo.

Agreed on Kass. Best Zelda NPC in a long time.

Spoiler

The end of his storyline was probably my favourite moment in the game.

I hope he's included in the DLC in some capacity. I wouldn't be mad at all if the story DLC involved Link trying to solve some more puzzles with the assistance of Kass.

 

[Shadowhelper]

I dunno why, but I'm just terrible at motion control stuff man. Flip it up side down? Well I'll keep trying now that I have confirmation it's not impossible or anything like that. Thank you.

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

Chiming in, but Tarrey Town's final theme is by far the best.

Everywhere foresty? You mean you didn't talk to the travelling artist at the stables who points you in the right direction?

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Uhg my wife is playing as well as me, and she literally just skips through all of the text at every NPC. I had to yell at her and explain a lot of the text was important. Pikango is key to finding all of the memories!

Somehow she will listen to everything Beedle has to say though.

 

[casey_contra]

I'm gonna be in NYC this weekend and, of course, I'll be stopping by the Nintendo NY store. Do you think they will have a larger stock of some of the rare Amiibo? Or do you think it'll be the same situation as everywhere else.

I would love to get my hands on OOT Link and the WW Double Pack

 

[flipswitch]

Excuse the ignorance, with the photo memories, you just go the location and take a photo?

 

[Magic Mushroom]

No, you just need to find the golden aura at the location on the photo. That will trigger the memory.

Ah, thanks! I've got a lot to do.

FYI, the last two slots for the melee stash is a total of 100 seeds.

Taking a peek of the korok puzzles and I would've never guessed done of them were puzzles. There's no way anyone could've gotten all of these without a guide.

 

[jokkir]

I beat this game like 10 times already and have around 120 hours and only beat two main dungeons.

I find myself not wanting to complete shrines so I can play them later and not run out :\ Also, I find myself retreading paths I've been to before and finding new things that I didn't see before

It's an awesome area to explore but I wouldn't even consider it top 10 dungeon material. No puzzels, no unique enemies, easily to skip entire sections, lame boss. Like I said it's great to explore it for fun but imo it's not really even a dungeon.

Regarding Rito Village,

Spoiler

I had a feeling I knew what the village theme would be modeled after, based on some of the hints given in this thread. But that rendition is better than I could have imagined. Wind Waker is my favourite of the Zelda games.

Move the ball back before you hit it. You don't need to launch it from the platform it orig ally drops onto.

I'm looking at the bold and thinking you didn't actually find everything there is to find in Hyrule Castle.

 

[Skittzo0413]

I really think going forward every dungeon should be like Hyrule Castle. Maybe add a bit more in the way of requirements like the terminals, and a few more levers/switches that change the layout (like the one that

Spoiler

creates an updraft

) but the open labyrinthine structure really made it feel like one of the best dungeons/interiors in all of gaming.

I mean, the ability to climb up a tower and climb into a castle through a window, travel from there into a secret escape passage used by royalty... it just felt like an incredible adventure. It really feels like the final realized form of the Zelda 1 dungeons.

I do not targets to zelda traditional puzzle dungeon, i'm saying the general design and structure
It's so open-ended, so many entrance, so many hidden path
Different people can play it differently, easy to skip is also the beauty of it, it gives a way for people to skip it not forcing a linear approach
It didn't force you to do anything, yet it self contain so much in it
Even the korok seed is brilliant, the music is beyond god-like

 

[maxcriden]

NP, you are well on your way and ahead of us! We are at maybe 192 or so. We were surprised to recently discover as-yet unseen ways to find Koroks.

 

[Cartho]

3 divine beasts down and I just took out a Guardian Scout IV in a Major test shrine and a Black Hinox in the wild. The way they've managed to implement a serious progression system into this without experience points, level ups and stats is amazing.

 

[ResidentWeevil13]

What unique enemies are in Hyrule Castle?

I love hyrule castle, btw, I'm just racking my brain and can't think of any unique enemies there and I explored it pretty thoroughly, I thought.
