Is there a list of potions and elixirs and recipes around? I made one of those elixirs that fully heals and gives 5 temp hearts and I totally forgot how to brew it

I would also like this. I figured once you made something it would pop up somewhere, because I don't want to memorize everything I need. The only way I can figure out is to check the recipe of something you currently have. It does seem like the concept is just to remember what effect certain things have (and it's usually in their description) and then put a meat and a vegetable in there. Make sure not to mix effects.

Pretty much. More meat == more health, more of an effect food == bigger/longer bonus. Stuff like Apples, Mushrooms and -blin horns are just filler to pad the stats up a little higher.

Started the game up again this morning, decided not to be a dummy, cooked some peppers and got to the remaining 2 shrines on the plateau in the snow. Something clicked, this game is really loving fun, and it seems like I've only gotten past the intro.

Is there a difference between meat, vegetables and fruit? Or does that just change the name of the final product? If it's just a balance between hearts and effect, I don't really mind then.

Putting them into elixers like triples their value, also there is a vendor that gives special items for trading in monster parts so selling individual parts for ruppees is the worst thing you can do with them.
Well dammit, I read in this thread earlier that selling that poo poo is totally fine if you don't make a lot of elixirs. :saddowns: I guess I should start picking up all those small critters so I have something to make those elixirs from...

I don't think I've found that merchant, either. I know some monster bits are used for upgrading armor, but that's about it.

edit: obviously I'm not selling any of the rare drops, just the basic lizalfos tails and such that are easy to come by

Vendor Spoilers If you go to Robbie's lab the to the west of it is a skull lake visit the left eye at night talk to the vendor there after that he will appear in every town at night and trade monster poo poo for various items/armor.

I think the only major complaint I have is that it rains way too loving much. Like, there's a 12 hour downpour every 36-48 hours and it makes climbing impossible.

This happened several times during the blue flame quest it was awful, also it seems to rain everytime I'm in the middle of a mountain range, both times I literally just sit there reading the forums on my phone waiting for the rain to go away.

Is there a reliable area to get hammers and axes? I've not found any decent axes except the starter axe so I tend to just drop them but now I need to collect the wood for the house and doing it via bombs is very tedious. And I need hammers to retry the stupid Mirro Shaz puzzle.

That color correction side looks hideous 80% of the time. It just deletes environmental filtering and then adds browns.

So normally in a Zelda game it is quite easy to bank some rupees.

However this game has me barely scraping by. What's the best way to farm them? Selling baked apples?

It seems to disappear way faster if you actually go someplace else. Not, like, teleporting, just walking twenty yards.

Kiss the Joycon to Kiss Zelda

I'm at Kakariko and did the Shrine in the hills. Where is the fairy fountain? I found this weird platform in the forest but I don't see a pedestal for my Sheikah Slate or anything, so I'm guessing I can't do anything with this yet?

Also as much as this game is pretty open and unforgiving and challenging in some ways, guys, if you're having trouble, go collect some faeries. You don't need bottles to catch faeries. They work just like OOT and if you die, they posthumously bring you back to life automatically. I have like 5 faeries on me right now, no big deal :v:

Fun fairy fact: don't be an idiot like me and drop them to try and take a picture with the Sheikah Scope + or they'll fly away :downs:

This also applies for any collectable that could still get away (so lizards, bugs and the like).

Diamond is the top in terms of rarity. I've found enemies that drop them but it's really rare. it is really easy on death mountain to farm sapphire and rubies, along with the common amber and opal.

Diamonds are very rare. Sapphires and Rubies are probably a little bit more rare than the others but I'm not sure. Diamonds you don't want to sell for reasons

I've only even seen one fairy so far, and I couldn't catch it because I was in the middle of fighting the Hinox (which has a great musical theme btw)

Friends, wish me luck. I've decided that the dragon on the to of Mt. Lanayru must die. I have cooked many important meals, I have gathered powerful weapons. Now, I venture forth.

Seriously, this is my favorite part of this game. There are like a billion things that have no "quest" objective assigned to them - you make up your own quest, venture forth on your own adventure, and you get rewarded constantly for doing it. It's a real achievement in game design.

Because the game looks more interesting with the balance on the left.

The balance on the right looks like Generic Video Game Graphics at least 50% of the time.

The south east corner of Hyrule reminds me so much of Link's Awakening, I love it.

I found all the fragments and it says the way will open when two figures kneel in front of it, and there's two pads on the ground.

Why didn't I pre-order a Switch? :negative:

Between watching streams and listening to the soundtrack, this game looks so good to the point I caved in and ordered a Switch and I have no idea how long I'll have to wait until it gets delivered. Holy gently caress the Hyrule Castle music is so good.

Is the floating island you can see in the background in some trailers and screenshots actually A Thing? I cant seem to find anything about it other than pre-launch speculation.
