And you're supposed to figure out to use fish (from a nearby lake) for it.
That's only a minor oddity.

In the Russian version it's called a Spicy Crunch-Mix. You still know the two ingredients but for the third one you only have "crunch" to go on.
Apples? Very small rocks?
No, but if you happen to fry the fish by itself you get some crunchy fry. If you bake it you'll get a different result with no crunch.

Please, tell me there are no major text-based puzzles later.

Not that I've noticed, barring the heatproof/flameproof distinction that came up on the last page or so.

And it's not a block to progress if you can't make the recipe - if you get to the top of the mountain anyway (cook peppers, carry a torch, etc) then he gives you the doublet at the top.

I don't think there are any main plot quests but there's certainly riddles for shrine and side quests.

Related to that, I found out today that for a spear, a jump power attack has a different animation than a "drop" power attack, the latter requiring you to be a certain height above ground. You can guess which one is needed for a puzzle, and the fact that the former was literally the first thing I did and then spend a good hour trying to figure out what the answer was instead has made me slightly salty. :shep:

Soo I've been playing this Zelda game on my Zelda box and it's really, really good. Amazingly good in fact, I can't remember a game forcing me to play it like this since... well. Very possibly ever.

The only thing really lacking from the game is real money microtransactions to unlock overpowered equipment, Nintendo should get with the times.

Spoilers if you wanna know what I did After you take out those first two guys and go down the hallway, you can either enter that big room with six guys or take the ladder at the end of the hallway. Climb up the ladder and use the opening there to walk out on the walkways out there till you find the guy in the relative back left corner who doesn't move. Use Stasis+ or drop bananas down to get away from that door and head on through.

I think at the stable near the lost woods there's a kid who wants you to send a barrel into the air with some octorock balloons. He gives you one as a reward.

There's another in a shrine, I believe

Had both of those, but got one using a method I found on *shudder* GameFAQs: quit out of and restart the game, camp out near Duelling Peaks Stable guy until he says it'll be a full moon that night, and then go to a high vantage point (i.e. the top of the Peaks themselves) and wait. One should fall that night. Worked 2/2 times.

I wish that when you find an item you need for a sidequest, it would then update the sidequest and tell you to go hand it in. I've got a ton of them in my quest log now and it's hard to remember each individual thing that I'm looking for.

BIG VINCE COMIN FOR YOU
The combat in this game is totally serviceable and part of me enjoys it as one of this games vestiges of older games, but man, if they leaned more in to the souls style combat at a more reasonable difficulty it would own in this amazing world with their weapons and enemies.

Maybe it's because I was playing Nioh before his, but if link could zip around like you can in that game it would be so satisfying.

Something they should've done with the Divine Beasts is rip off the 2008 Prince of Persia's system where each subsequent one gets considerably harder because the corruption been cleaned out of the other(s). Have each incarnation of Ganon fueled by the slain ones for more HP/damage dealt, as well as more corruption in general and stronger enemies in them.

I don't think I'd want truly Souls-style combat, but I think what this needs is some sort of limit on in-battle healing, and a few more enemy types. Those alone I think would make the combat more tense and interesting. Throw in a couple new weapon categories (right now there are three--one-handed, two-handed, and spears) as icing on the cake.

How is this poo poo a kids game I mean really, I'm constantly googling poo poo

Like the loving constellation shrine I had no idea wtf

Also the north labyrinth which I actually found a shortcut for on YouTube by climbing the initial wall. There's also a 300 rupees up there in a chest

I've figured out like, one or two riddles so far. I guess I'm just a big dumb like the one in the snow with the shadow

Lastly for the quest where you take the guardian pictures it never occurred to me that the small guardian was the one you fight in the shrines

That's the first step yeah. The key missable part is that you need to go read his diary in the Ridgelands after you've done all the shrine quests. That's what triggers him to return to Rito village so you can see the ending. You may also need to do all the Rito village quests first.

Fortunately you can tank and beat Ganon like an imbecile without figuring out any of the advanced combat mechanics if you've been chasing shrines for two weeks so you have 25-ish heart containers, have all the divine beast assists and a few dozen full recovery foodstuffs :v:

I really like how you automatically regulate the difficulty by how eager your are to progress through the story. After getting my rear end handed to me by the first Lynel in Zora's domain I put all the main quests on the back burner and went hunting for upgrades, final tally was over 64 shrines. At that point you are pretty hilariously overpowered with all upgraded armour, the money you've made along the way and a full arsenal of bomb arrows, stasis+ etc.

The only thing that marred an otherwise top notch game experience was some forced stealth bullshit that outright changes the game rules and GameOvers unexpectedly. At least that part is pretty short.

Is the waggle sensor on your controller broken maybe? I kept my switch docked for the entirety of the game and played all of it with the (mandatory, really) pro controller.

The most obscure one I found is that any line of 3 trees you're supposed to remove fruit so that all 3 trees match. I'd been seeing them all game but only figured it out at the very end.
