OFFICIAL ZELDA:BOTW TOPIC

[Dicer]

About 23 hours into it and I feel I've only scratched the surface.  There is still a massive portion of the map I haven't even visited yet.  I absolutely love the exploration aspect of it.  I hate cooking in real life, but I actually enjoy it in game.  I enjoy trying out different combinations, but I refuse to use any guides yet.  I don't mind the fact that weapons break, but I wish they lasted a little longer.  I've tamed two horses, but I find that I really don't want to ride them when I'm exploring.  I'm upgrading my heart twice for each increase in stamina because I've ran into very few places that I couldn't climb up to. 

Spoiler (sort of):
Check out the island at the south east corner of the map.  There is a really fun trial that awaits you on the island.  It took me two nights to finish it, but it was really fun. 

Another spoiler:
My best advice is to upgrade your bombs as soon as you can.  The faster regeneration makes a lot of difference.

You can get the orb off the giant by gliding down and taking it, he won't wake up...

Did the eventide last night, took 3 tries....was a blast.

It's definitely a cool island.

I used Urbosa's Fury to kill the Giant. Not exactlh creative but it is efficient.

Did anybody figure out the three labryninth exits on their own? I had to use a guide for those.

I figured there was a way to get it from him before he woke up, but my attempts never worked, so I just fought him to the death.  AFTER I finished the island, I looked up a few tricks and saw that you could do what you suggested.  That sure would have been easier, but I'm trying not to use any guides if possible.

Yeah, the island was super fun regardless of the method used to finish it.

I know nothing about this game.. regarding finishing everything in the the game, does it track your completion percentage?

It tracks main quests and side quests, not sure where shrines are tracked.

Also good luck finding 900 korok seed puzzles!

It's not worth tracking them all down what you get isn't worth the effort, unless you are a completionist.

I've got all memories done, 2 of 4 divines down and one the third...and I bought the house.

I see the end coming and I don't wanna reach it, last few plays have just been me running around gathering materials and wrecking shit.

The korok seeds are the cure to running out of weapons.

Killed my first Lynel last night. Holy shit those things are hard. Was doing the Zora quest thingy. Burned through most of my weapons and destroyed my knights shield. :/ Was pleasantly surprised on how difficult this game can be. The fact that if I missed my block even once that thing would kill me in one hit. I realized after I killed him that it wasn't a requirement for the shock arrow quest...
