Beat this last night. Absolutely, positively loved it. Never found the
Got around 60 Malamai.
How much does Hero Mode add to the difficulty?
Pegasus Boots.

To be honest, I don't see how you could even play the game without the
Pegasus Boots.
To get the boots, before or after buying the Smooth Gem from the npc for the Zora Flippers quest, go toward the house in the NE side of the village in Hyrule. You'll see the thief who stole them by a wall. Merge with the wall so you can sneak up behind him, and he'll give you the boots.

I too missed the boots, i didn't know i missed them until I saw my girlfriend used them.
You are in danger of getting 2 shooted in hyurle or instakilled in lorule a lot until you get the blue tunic. But it depends on positioning mostly

You need to crash into the trees using the Pegasus boots to get the maiamais out of the trees.

Those are the exact type of clues I was hoping for. Thanks!

Most of the time, I could time my swing to hit a specific pot in a particular region.

Like many others, I gave up on the chest in the Dark Palace the first time around. I had the basic idea right, just was really surprised the
I also missed the boots--when I got to the last dungeon without having them, I finally had to look the solution up. Missed having those all game, I love bashing into walls all the time!
My complaint about that is

I don't know why, but in Zelda games I always miss a Bottle or two despite usually finding all but one or two heart pieces with no help.
upper switch didn't cause the wall flip.

My complaint about that is
it really seemed like catching the guy was something I'd need to have the boots for, since I was able to get close enough to "hit" him with several items even without the boots and they didn't affect him at all. I really should have tried the wall thing sooner though...

I thought the Rumor Guy's thing about the Witch giving a potion to the fortune teller would factor in, but I didn't see a mailbox for the fortune teller or anything...
figured. I don't have those yet.
Just going to spoiler this whole thing in case somebody doesn't want hints:
Those two upgrades you get at the same place. Try advancing in a cold place.
Bottle hints (3 are in Hyrule, 2 are in Lorule):
1.Maybe somebody abandoned more than their house.
2.Sometimes generosity with money can reap benefits.
3.Try swimming into a covered area.

Hope those are helpful and not too obtuse lol.
Which one is that?
I can do it again even if I completed it already?
Hah, no, that's perfect. Reminds me of hint books for old adventure games. Thanks!
The only thing that seems strange is
progress further in a cold place...I swear I've been all over death mountain in Lorule, but I can check around there again...or maybe there's another cold place I don't remember, I'll check next time I play.
You can do it again, but there won't be a treasure chest with something inside and you won't get the special dialog that appears when you complete it the way without the Pegasus Boots.
It's in
the hole with the patch of 9 flowers left of the Vacant House.

I'm a huge Zelda fan and think this game is the best since LttP, but my answer to your question is "no." Realistically, if you've played LttP, you've played this game. Variations in story aside, the whole structure and world of the game basically just makes it a LttP remake.
There's nothing wrong with that, I've loving the game. I can't get enough of the orchestrated soundtrack, either. But there's nothing appreciably new in it. And I'd never buy a console solely to play a remake of anything.
I disagree. I played LTTP for the first time right before ALBW and they felt very different to me. If anything, playing LTTP adds to the experience of playing ALBW.
GAH! I need one last piece of the heart. Can't find.
Is there a way to rematch shadow links? I haven't gotten many (whats the best place to get them? the mall?) I also wish there was a way to see how your shadow link was doing. I have him up to 990, just need the last piece of heart for 1000! haha

You can get a 2DS for $99
It's a great game for sure but buying a system only for one games always felt strange to me (sometime I did it cause I am a retro-collector but it is still strange).
Some of the mini games will grant heart pieces if you beat a top score.
I replayed LTTP recently on the Shield and am still having a blast with LBW. Not to mention, it's not like there aren't a ton of other great games on the 3DS/DS.
I'm pretty sure I beat all of the mini-game advanced tiers for their respective Heart Pieces. Got both Rupee Rush pieces, baseball's done, treasure house, (was there one from the racing bro's?) can't think of too many other mini-games, but I'm pretty sure I've done 'em. I was pretty thorough in my exploration too.
These sentences are objectively wrong. Which makes your whole argument kinda meaningless.

Are there any plans for Miiverse integration in this game once it hits 3DS?
phalestine
aka iby.h
the one I missed was in the very beginning, where you see it but cant get it just yet.
Graveyard in hyrule (the secret path to the sanctuary). I only noticed it when I started a new record.
Hah, got that one! I immediately ran back there as soon as I got the wall merge ability! I'm sure I'll find it.
So, what were you guy's favourite track fo the game? I absolutely loved the Death Mountain Remix
Yup, just to do it.
phalestine
aka iby.h
Haha, good man. Yup, I'm sure you will.
As with any Zelda game, the staff roll. I also enjoyed the music when you brought in 10 maimais. I wouldn't choose an item immediately just so I could listen to the song.
So far, the cucco minigame music, though going by the YouTube comments this track was already in Nintendo Land.
19 hearts now with no guide or anything, I'm happy about that.
I do admit that I was given a hint for the Pegasus Boots (I was looking in ALL the wrong areas...), but didn't read it explicitly...just where to look.
No idea where the last ore is, no idea where the last tunic is...and I am missing 3 heart pieces, one of which, is the baseball game and I can't get more than 65 timing seems all out of wack, I understand the rules, but still can't get it.
And there's like 3 item slots missing...hm...

Have you beaten the (Lorule spoilers, NE corner of map)
Treacherous Tower
I think the Intermediate course gives a heart piece, IIRC.
Lorule absolute endgame spoilers:
Holy shit red tunic? Why so late in the game?

I've been really enjoying the game, but finding it suddenly really difficult, which is funny since everyone else seems to find it easy. But then I realized I just did the
first and most people do them near the end. I was getting two hit killed everywhere.

Because it was the same in LttP. But yes, it would have been better if it was obtainable from the moment you enter Lorule, but very difficult to get, imo.

That was my first too. It made the following couple of dungeons feel too easy.
Well, your instincts may be right. Just be careful when exploring, it can be a treacherous place.
So many item choices make me scratch my head. "Here's something you can use. (For 5 minutes! Enjoy!)"
This will probably end up an entertaining speedrun game to watch.
I've been listening to the game's OST while doing school work. I feel like it may be harming my productivity however, as I tend to stop working to just listen to the excellency of the music.
I ended up finding the last Heart Piece on my own!
. Can't believe I overlooked that one!
Cleared the game finally too. Final boss was cool. Ending twist was nice. Perfect game in my books. I have nearly everything collected now but I'll probably clean up my normal game before trying Hero mode down the road. Easily one of my favorite Zelda games in a long time.
It was in one of those caves behind one of those bomb flower rocks in the southeastern side of the map.

This was the first Zelda game that I ever played to completion. Most of the other Zelda games never grabbed me due to miscellaneous tasks that had to be done to progress and the linearity that caused progress to be entirely blocked if a puzzle couldn't be immediately solved. Imagine my surprise that I loved this game. What Zelda should I play next? I'm finishing up Ocarina now and would like to know what would compare most to this game. Am I correct in assuming LTTP?
Definitely LTTP. It still holds up very well today. It is longer and harder than ALBW.
