There's 2 on the main level on the left side by the throne room. You gotta light them yourself but there should be a torch right there.

Anyone know specifically where the dude who buys gourmet meat for 100 rupees is at? I'm almost positive it was a stable somewhere but I haven't been able to find him again. I went for a hunt/exploration trek through the northern snowy area and have like 80 to sell him. If you've got plenty of arrows and are good at hitting headshots, that's a pretty fun/good way to earn money. You just gotta make sure you sprint to pick them up once they drop because if they turn into icy meat they'll be classified as food and you won't be able to thaw and sell them.

can somebody give me a vague hint about how to solve the shrine in korok forest, it's called "follow the stars" or something like that. like do i have to go look at the stars or is there some clue inside the shrine that i missed

youre probably really over thinking it

Final dumb question for the day: can you brute force a blood moon by simply creating a fire and sleeping until night over and over again? I'm kind of guessing no since I've been doing it about 10-15 times and it hasn't happened yet.

I'm trying to unlock the shrine that requires a blood moon since I'm already there, but I guess I should just continue playing regularly and just book it to the location the next time I notice one. On a related note, if you stand around without any clothes on, one of Link's idle animations is flexing and checking himself out. Also, as surprising amount of NPCs has custom dialogue for if Link is naked when talking to them, which is insane to me.

Yes, but it takes ages. I think it might help if you go kill a ton of enemies before you try, but it can be done.

Beedle appears at all the stables so you can get 30ish a day from him. Early on I was really struggling to get arrows and it was kind of annoying because I enjoy using the bow but about midway through I was exploring an area with a bunch of archer enemies and if you kill them quickly enough they'll drop 5 arrow bundles. I've been hovering around 150+ regular arrows for a while now and it's nice to not have to ration them constantly.

If you're really hard up you could cheese it and go out at night and wait for some skeletons to pop up and easily dodge their shots and steal that ammo. That's kind of slow and boring though.

same I ended up with way more shock arrows than anything else. I guess I used bomb arrows a lot but god knows why I had hardly any ice arrows by comparison, I used shock arrows to create massive op stunning blasts every time it rained

Upland Zorana and the path leading to Zora's domain are good places to get arrows. Most of the Lizalfos there seem to drop 5-10 arrows.

Is it the one where there's a wall of constellations on the other side of the gate you need to open? If so, that's the important thing.

Slightly less vague hint: pay attention to how many constellations there are on the wall.

wow yeah i missed that and thought there must be a clue in the night sky lmao

are there ANY shrines in the game that aren't entirely self-contained

There are some shrines in the Gerudo Desert that all follow a similar theme of connecting electrical circuits with metal objects. I think whoever designed them had an order in mind, too. If you enter the desert through a ground-level path and go past the stable there, you'll encounter a really simple shrine on that concept, and then the other ones in the desert are trickier. (I did them out of order so the really simple one was like "wow, that was super easy")

You can also drop the jellies and swing an elemental weapon at them and they change, it owns

And yeah the Gerudo shrines were some of the best in the game. But the best shrine in the whole game is the Blue Flame one imo

My favourite one so far was "Speed of Light", with the wheel that spins a laser to raise and lower the water.

I spent over half an hour trying to get the chest in that one and managed it with a combination of cryonis and stasis on the switch in the second room at the last possible second to give enough time to sprint through the door. It turns out you can do it just by leaving a bomb on the switch platform.

Then I pretty much immediately threw the weapon you get in a river by accident and lost it forever.

That's exactly why I've been taking my time and exploring every single nook and cranny over and over again for 200 hours because I know as soon as I defeat Ganon and "beat" the game I won't be able to mentally force myself to keep exploring.

thats what happened to me. i beat ganon and my brain wouldn't let me keep playing but after a week or so, and this is the only time this has ever happened, i pushed past that mental block and and hours are once more dropping like flies to the land of hyrule. God bless Aonuma
