Sorry, mobile, should be fixed.
Really? It's a good fight, and you get cool weapons and guardian parts from it!
The worst is when it's just a "blessing" shrine. Those just make it feel like the designers ran out of ideas.
That was hilarious. Serious dedication to nudge Kass all the way across the map.

Too many identical combat shrines. 1 or 2 would be fine. The blessings are ok because it was usually a puzzle outside to access the shrine.

Finished.
- 115 hours
- 120 shrines
- 323 (I think) korok seeds
There's so much I could say about this game, but I'll keep it simple. Breath of the Wild is the best Zelda entry since Ocarina of Time, and quite possibly the greatest Zelda game ever made. It has its own share of flaws, but ultimately my feelings boil down to this: This world is the Hyrule I always dreamed of as a child, when I constantly pored over the illustrations in the manual for the original Legend of Zelda. Everything feels alive -- the grass, the wind, the wildlife, the towns.
The Legend of Zelda was originally conceived as a grand adventure, a world full of monsters and secrets. Until Breath of the Wild, Zelda had increasingly been abandoning that legacy. I had basically given up hope that we would ever see a return to the original spirit of Zelda, stuck with crappy puzzles and uninspiring puzzle dungeons forever. But here we are, and I couldn't be happier or more grateful to Nintendo (and even Aonuma) for realizing Hyrule in the way I always wanted.
For the first time in nearly 20 years, I actually want to replay a Zelda game.
Thanks, Nintendo.

Just beat the game. I've never been a huge Zelda fan. I like a few of them but I've never held the series that close to heart. BOTW is not only my favorite in the series, it's without a doubt one of the best games I've played in the last 19 years. It's fucking excellent.
I've always had trouble finishing Zelda games. I've never stuck with a Zelda game from beginning to end. This is the first time where it's all I've wanted to play. If I got this game not right before spring break, I would've been in trouble.
My final playtime says 55+ hours but it didn't feel like I played that little. Other than the little bit of P5 I played this week, the majority of what I've played the past two weeks was Zelda.

Ah, thank you.
I figured out where the last shrine is. Time to go and complete it, and then take care of the sub/side-quests.

So I just finished it and if I want to keep exploring the world, completing shrine etc, do I have to load my save of right before the final boss?
Is there not a continue from where the story ends?

I know, I'm just stunned I didn't get at least 50% of the map.
All Divine Beasts reclaimed. Ganon defeated, all Shrines conquered, all quests completed, and full Heart Containers. I'm pretty much done with the game until the DLC comes out. I'm not insane enough to get all the Koroks.
With that said, this game had a good number of cute NPCs. So I made a list of my favorites.

Therr isnt a post game so yes you continue from your save before the boss.

Doing another test of strength shrine, and wondering if those gaurdians are weak to a type of arrow?
O her than a very particular type (which I don't think I'd waste in a shrine), they don't seem particularly weak to any elemental arrows. Normal ones in the eye will stop it firing lasers at you and if you have enough, you can defeat one
If true, now I need a map showing which shrines have ancient cores in.. but I haven't uncovered all shrines so I'd need to be careful.
Shock arrows work to stun them and ice arrows still freeze them, but Scouts are so open to being cheesed with Stasis that I hardly used them.

I haven't upgraded my statis yet to use on enemies. Still trying to find those ancient cores!.
Didn't think stasis holds them for long? Might try that then

Very nice, thanks. If I can pull myself away from P5 for a bit then I think I may spend a day just exploring the world and finding Koroks, should be pretty chill.
How did you do this? Is it a post-game thing?
I've basically found exploration better than the rest of the game, and since there's not many memories and I'm running out of shrines (although there's several I still havent found
), the game is basically "find-the-koroks" for me.Is there someone that managed to get close to 100% without using a guide? I still find several per hour, but I'm not even halfway. Seems an insanely difficult task...
Stasis often make combat far too easy :/

I just realised that when there are certain smaller statues with apples in baskets in front of them and one of the baskets is empty, you can put an apple from your own stash in there that a Korok will appear.

This pattern is reproduced in many scenarios. My favorite is
in Hyrule castle where you put an egg in a small hot spring pool to match the pattern and it turns them into hard-boiled eggs

Man, I was under the impression that the game had 110 shrines. I'm up to 109 and I'm pretty sure I checked the entire map this time around (previously played on Wii U). Looked it up and apparently I have 11 left.
I really don't want to look up the locations of the last ones but I also don't want to trek around the entirety of Hyrule again. Decisions..
Also, doing a 3 heart run is surprisingly fun. Not terribly challenging though, especially once you've got a firm grasp on the game's many mechanics.

It isn't. I took screenshots of the compendium and used Photoshop to edit it into a list of the NPCs using screenshots I took. As for Koroks, I might get enough to max out inventory space, but I don't plan on going further than that.
I usually sneak from behind and use *that* sword... It's crude, but it works...
Curious about the reason behind the "not using arrows" part when you can buy an unlimited amount
Oh, I see... Nice job...
Probably a sane solution...
But I enjoy the hunt, and I want to go on. I wonder how much you can reasonably find... Is there people that avoid any clues and managed 800+?
Same (except that I still haven't beaten a single beast for the same reason)...
Though it's just because I want to enjoy those beats. It's nothing close to Awakening, I just COULDN'T finish the game when I understood what it meant. Took me months.

I'm in the same situation, except that I'm missing that last memory in the castle.
Yes :>

I S/L so many times trying to get a Hylian shield with good bonus, but never get one with golden bonus. I've seen people getting the shield with golden bonus on twitter, wonder what's the condition? Cause I haven't done all the shrine or beat Ganon? Currently 119 shrines done. There must be some parameters bind with the chance getting good stat bonus on equipments.
Everybody told me to go to do Zora first. I feel like this was a cruel joke. Not only could half the enemies on the path up here one or two shot me, but I couldn't climb shit because it was raining 90% of the time, and now I have to beat a Lynel before even entering the dungeon.
I have three hearts and ONE stamina upgrade.
What kind of horrible cruel joke was that? What the hell, man?!

Nice! Now I want to see a village like Kakariko in real life, hidden deep between mountains.
You don't have to beat him, there's plenty of shock arrows on the trees. I went full stealth there.
When you find out, let me know.
I feel like I can turn this game on, walk around, and still find something interesting even after I've beaten the games and found all the shrines. I just look for a place on the map I don't remember, and with no korok seed markers or shrines, and just check it out. There's always some nice scenery, enemy encounters, or the oh so important korok puzzles. I found some cool one recently. One was a block puzzle, but it was on a cliff surrounding a lake. I look around with magnesis and see that the block was hidden behind a waterfall. Another cool one was near Martha's Landing. I was just climbing around and I see a huge rock spiral. You can even see it dotted on the map. I found a stone near by and thought it must be a korok puzzle. I traced the spiral, found the gap, plopped it down, and the silly korok appeared right in the middle of the spiral. He really went all out considering his brethren are content with just hiding under a single rock.
Everybody assumed you wouldn't make it that hard on yourself.
You don't have to fight the Lynel, you can avoid climbing and probably just run from most enemies. Did the Zora in a very similar situation as you.

How many shrines is there in the castle?
There's a giant diamond made with rocks that looks like a Korok puzzle (there's even a lone rock) that I've yet to trigger... it... puzzles me. ^_^
There's probably nearly one hundred korok puzzles that you can see on the map... but you often notice it after you've actually found the puzzle.
