No Gerudo stuff yet. I activated its tower did that one shrine quest with the Gorons in the desert but that's the extent of my exploration in the desert. Also I do tend to ignore travelers. So that's probably why.

Yeah. You might want to save the camel for last if you don't want to be spammed by ninjas every five steps. It's not even after beating the camel, but rather in a quest that is a lead up to boarding it. Conversely, do the camel anyway because the power you get from it is really OP. It's your game.

Rarely do other games have happy accidents but BotW was seemingly built on them.

Yeah, those no fun havers  Physics bugs really shouldn't be patched unless they cause crashes or serious slowdown in normal play, although I can see the infinite arrow glitch being patched. Unrelated note, but kind of surprised the game doesn't have a sub-40 speedrun yet. Normally I don't care about speedruns at all or the people who do them but I sort of want to see this game get broken really hard and beaten really fast.

Beat the game on WiiU a couple weeks ago (didn't do all shrines, but got a green hat from a Windwaker amiibo and dyed the Hylian tunic green for Hyrule Castle so it felt like a real Zelda finale), and now I am quite aware that at some point I will probably buy a Switch and replay the whole drat thing all over again. I don't even want to know how many hours I spent on this, but it kept me up past 2am on multiple occasions.

If sailing with chests is wrong, I don't want to be right. So this is basically GOAT for me, mostly because it's so much fun just to mess with enemies. I've never had so much fun just screwing around with monsters before, and I'm pretty sure my latest trick has finally taken me over the line from "plucky adventure hero" to "malevolent chaos deity."

I have way too much to play, but I kind of want to play Twilight Princess HD now since I just noticed that came out last year and it's been one I never beat. Would love to replay OOT and MM since it's been almost 20 years as well. Although obviously probably going to wait awhile after just coming off how loving good BoTW is that I'd be too spoiled, and some other stuff to play first. I bounced off hard from Twilight Princess when I played it on the Wii and I really don't even know why-- like somewhere 1/3rd into the game I just stopped and never had any interest in playing it again. Is it actually worth playing with the HD stuff (no garbage motion, hero mode, whatever)?

I did exactly that for the first couple weeks after launch while waiting for a stock alert to go off for the Switch. By the time I got my hands on a Switch I had beaten the game on Wii U with around 80 shrines and 200 Koroks. I'm now even farther along on the Switch version and I think I'm enjoying it even more the second time around. It's amazing how much you miss the first time through and how very differently the game plays out when you take different routes. The total freedom you are afforded via climbing and gliding means that linear routes through the game world just don't exist, and you get a totally different experience exploring areas just by going from different directions. It's truly a masterpiece of open world game design.

I'm hearing rumors that the warping zone around the plateau before you get the glider is only so big. You could potentially complete two of the shrines and then find a way to launch yourself off the plateau on a rock or something and then land far enough out that you can run straight to Ganon.

Twilight Princess is a godawful slog for the first half in any version, which is probably why you stopped playing. After the Water Temple it actually gets good and fun and has some terrific dungeons and items, as well as some fun swordfighting tricks to unlock, but it's getting to that point that's the difficult bit. The HD version trims down some of the worst bits, and I'd say yeah, it's worth playing for Snowpeak and Arbiter's Grounds and sniping your way through Kakariko, but it's going to take some work to get that far, particularly coming from the freedom BotW gives you.

All things considered, my bet is that it's in place because of someone falling through the world somewhere, getting voided out the the overworld without the parasail, and then voiding back into the overworld every time they tried to climb back up there's no way a tutorial lock-in that comprehensive was implemented without some playtester ending up accidentally getting into a "you're absolutely hosed and if you don't an autosave far enough back you have to reset your save entirely" situation

Having finally read through the entire thread, I've concluded that no one else decided to interrupt waiting for a blood moon to activate the shrine with running and grabbing a few slot upgrades.

Uh, the game's main story is already is a ~40 hour game* that's broken down to about 1/10th of it's time. I don't think 41 minutes versus 39 minutes makes any difference here in comparison for "beaten really fast". In any case, the current Wii U WR says sub 40 is definitely possible with a little tighter execution and good luck with Amiibo. Barring new route changes (which totally might happen, the game is brand new), this kinda looks like the edge of how fast the run will be tbh. *Time taken from HLTB, which is obviously a kind of difficult thing to measure in this kind of game

Getting to the castle to trigger ganon wouldn't even matter since the paraglider isn't in your inventory, and it's doubtful there will be a way to glitch it into your inventory anytime soon.

Is it even possible to play this game for 30 minutes? I'm not talking about a speed run, I'm talking "oh I'll just play for 30 minutes before bed" then suddenly it's 3 hours later and all you managed to do was get some korok seeds and maybe made some elixirs.

I ran away from virtually every Guardian, Talus, Hinox, and Lynel, and didn't work on the timing for dodges and parties until the final boss. I also saw virtually no Yiga people.

I'm kinda surprised nobody else has tried the whole "giving your enemies weapons they don't know how to use and that you are immune to" thing. It's absurdly fun, and not just with Blizzard Rods either. This morning I gave a Bokoblin a Meteor Rod in the middle of a forest and watched in delight and amazement as he immolated the forest, his friends, and ultimately, himself, at no cost to me. Then I gave Meteor Rods to a couple of Silver Bokoblins and basically turned one of those giant skull things into a Bokoblin Thunder Dome. There's nothing friendly about Friendly Fire. Nothing at all.

Where are the shrines located exactly? Like in relation to the map are they all really "underground" or when you get into the elevator are you teleported off somewhere to a group of them? I know people have already broken out of shrines so maybe if you could break into another shrine and take the elevator up you could basically teleport to an entirely different part of the map.
