I'm also bothered by the 100 year old kawaii scientist in a child's body. This game has all kinds of creepy sexual fetishes though if you also take into account the giant fairies.
At least until the max upgrade scene, the Great Fairies aren't sexual but more the "pinch your cheeks over-makeupped aunt" type. Except 50 feet tall.

The max upgrade scene is funny, but also :stare:

The scientist is eyeroll worthy but at least her diary is all "well now that I've figured out how the age rune works I'm gonna jump ahead to an older body, being in a six year old's body sucks"

It's a great farming spot for ancient parts once you twig that.
The only place you should be farming guardians is right outside hyrule castle. After a blood moon there's always half a dozen Stalkers in the field as well as the three flyers around the rock columns to the left by the jail, and a whole lot of broken down Stalkers scattered around inside the walls, both the immobile versions and the damaged versions. And if you're just masochistic, you can go into Hyrule Castle proper and kill the turrets and flyers there too.

Yeah, it's still kinda weird. I think they were going for more of a funny-weird than gross-weird, but they didn't quite hit the mark. Dude still comes off as a pedo because she looks like a child. It would've been funny if he'd turned her down upon seeing her you left them arguing, ie: "You said you had muscles!" "You said YOU were an adult!" "I am! We have different life cycles!" "Whatever you say, kiddo." "Don't call me kiddo, scrawny, I'm older than YOU!"

See, this is what I was expecting to happen. Would have been fine, funny even, then everybody would move on with life. Instead we got... what actually happened.

I'm pretty sure you're projecting or something. Aside from being glam as hell :sparkles: I don't see how the giant fairies are creepy? The ones in OoT are still way worse.

EDIT: Granted, I never got the max upgrade scene.

Okay I just finished up with Ganon and I'm super curious if anyone knows what happens during the final stage of the fight if you never tamed a horse?

I realize this is ridiculous because who could play through this game without taming a sweet-rear end horse?!

There's just one "quest" for those guys. Here's three hints for how to start it, in increasing levels of spoilery-ness:

Spoiler Hint #1: The quest starts when you climb a certain mountain.

Spoiler Hint #2: The mountain is in Necluda.

Spoiler Hint #3: Look for the tall, spiky mountain due east of Kakariko Village. It's called Mount Lanayru.

Thank you! #2 pointed me in the right direction and that was a ton of fun.

Star Fragments: One drops every full moon (which is every 7 or 8 days, I forget). Best way to get them is to travel up to Shee Vaner Shrine (the south one) in the duelling peaks region. Then just start looking around. You should see a star fragment streak across the sky. Highlight it with the scope, and then fast travel to the closest spot and go get it before it disappears at dawn.

They can drop on any night after 9:00pm. The easiest way I found to get them is to go to where a dragon spawns (i.e. Farosh in Lake Hylia) and kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Camp until 9:00pm and then wait. Centre your camera on the horizon, facing inland if possible (don't want it rolling off a sheer cliff face into the sea). They will only drop within camera view. I think there is a minimum distance so I don't think you can cheese it by tilting your camera down so you only see a short distance in front of you. You can go get your dragon parts when it reaches midnight, then go pick up the star fragment.

Edit: Just got another one at 1:05am at Lyanru East Gate waiting for Naydra. I dunno what the moon phases are, but its not full (half moon?).

Edit 2: Got another one at 1:30am at Lake Hylia waiting for Farosh. It was just after a bloodmoon.

Edit 3: Landed in a lovely place and despawned (couldn't reach it before 5:00am). Got another one at 11:55pm the following night though. Lake Hylia.

The progression makes sense. First they blow some air on you. Then they blow a kiss. Then they actually kiss you and then they penetrate you. This all makes sense to me.

Is there a pattern or system that determines what weapons will be used by the enemies in the collesium (or any area)?

I cleared it out once and every enemy had a 32 or higher royal weapon; but I just went through the collesium again and this time they all had lower damage elemental weapons (with royal shields).

I think that, like pretty much everything else, it's tied to how many Divine Beasts you've completed. I only went there after getting all four and everything was elemental weapons.

I thought Epona was supposed to unlock on the first use and never after, meaning if you used it on the plateau she'd be stuck there forever. There's some weird black magic going on with the amiibos, because sometimes I'll get nothing but junk for days, and then 3-4 times back to back get the same rare item.

What is up with the enemy spawning in the new patch?

I've had two Yigas spawn n me several times tonight. Once I had two Yigas spawn as three skeletons jumped out of the ground as soon as I swam to shore. Never seen spawning like that before in 100+ hours.

I had that happen once before the patch, so I dunno. Have you had any issues with spontaneous Blood Moons? I once had a Blood Moon suddenly trigger at 7 in the morning, among all the other seemingly random times that it fired for me ever since I hit up the Mijah Rokee Shrine. I assume that's just the way it works after you do that? Still seems broken though.

Also, on the topic of annoying power-ups, there simply aren't enough Hinoxes in the world to get me the Hinox guts I need :colbert:

Thank goodness they aren't actually as obnoxious to take on like Lynels are (with one notable exception)

It's random but does seem to be weighted to usually happen on the first scan. You can get her again if she despawns without being registered. So if you spawned her on the plateau, you just have to wait until a blood moon resets the world.
