Related question: is it possible to light up the shrouded forest permanently? I beat the shrine but it's still dark. Please tell me there aren't any Korok seeds in there.
Not that I've found.

What I can't STAND is those random friends/couples that are close to death, you save their lives, and instead of expressing any kind of appreciation they say, "Oh, we're just looking for X mushrooms, butterflies, etc" - and they go back to looking around, totally clueless. I think I actually said, "Idiots..." out loud a couple times haha.

In the case of single people, you can get a reward for saving them if they haven't been knocked out. If it's two people, you can still get a reward from one of them (not both), but neither of them can be knocked out for that to happen (I think), and I think in your case you have to talk to them pretty soon after or they'll forget and go back to their default text that they were slinging your way.

You can use a fire arrow as a torch though, as long as you nock it and never fire.

That Kakariko one requires you to be an especially helpful member of the Sheikah tribe - for easy reference of which quests there are available in Kakariko, there's a book of "villager complaints" by the entrance to Impa's dwelling.

I found out by playing Mario Kart that I have a desyncing left Joycon. This wouldn't be a big thing (I mean it desyncs pretty badly; three times in one race at a four foot distance with no aquariums or electronics or anything around) since I almost always play my Switch in handheld mode but it was ruining Mario Kart so I called Nintendo and they said, "Yeah that's pretty bad, send it in." But I forgot that I am going to the beach for two weeks next week. So I can't send it in or I won't be able to play Zelda at the beach. (The lady on the line was like, "No worries, you can still play Mario Kart with only one Joycon!" But Zelda, woman. ZEL-DA.)

Any experience sending in Joycons for repair and how fast the turnaround usually is?

Not that it's terribly helpful, but my left Joycon desynched every day for a week, then stopped. Only had it desync one or twice before and once or twice since. I think they're just super finnicky?

Does the ancient armor set bonus increase durability and/or damage for ancient and/or guardian weapons? Where's a good place to farm guardians? Forgotten Temple?

Major Tests of Strength, the turrets don't drop what you need. Also theres that semi-hidden spot in the upper right Labyrinth which has a lot of Guardians hidden underground. Just go through each of them and should have enough. You should have more than enough bolts/screws/whatever and might be a little low on Ancient Cores (I had just enough Giant Ancient Cores which are only from chests iirc, but was lacking about 5 Ancient Cores to max upgrade everything somehow)

It only increases both Ancient/Guardian weapon damage by 80% but not durability. This also stacks with +3 Attack Potions/food so you'll do insane damage, unlike Barbarian armor which does not stack with attack potions/food.

Also please don't wear the dunce cap of shame when fighting Gannon. Sexy gerudo armor or GTFO (seriously the boss is really easy and you will have the ugly dunce cap of shame during the cutscenes)

I don't remember which one that is, but yeah all the motion control shrines were awful, but mostly because it seemed the Gamepad never had any orientation or syncing with how the actual board looked so I was constantly playing loving Twister contorting my arms and body into random directions trying to figure out how I need to move the gamepad to get poo poo to turn right. If the gamepad actually worked right, maybe they would have been kind of interesting. I dunno if I was just doing something wrong but it was loving painful.

If you have a screwdriver that can get around the tri-head screws on the joycon (I used one with a tiny head), you might be able to fix it yourself with the foam fix; it worked for me. You don't need special conductive foam like the article implies, just normal foam. I suspect the problem is that the desync happens when the wire inside touches the board, and the foam prevents that from happening.

Sadly I don't have a tri-head screwdriver and not one that small for sure. All my screwdrivers are Phillips, Slotted, Square, Allen, or Torx. I thought I had everything pretty much covered with those but I guess not. My dad is pretty handy (or he used to be before his arthritis got really bad) so I've always enjoyed buying him gadget-y things like screwdriver sets. Even after the arthritis they were a guaranteed birthday or Christmas hit. It appears I have failed us, however.

I probably jumped the gun calling Nintendo but it was so bad during those races that I figured I'd bite the bullet and get it over with as soon as possible. As I noted up above I can't do it myself. If I had known it might go away I probably would have held off until I got back from vacation to see if it kept it up over that time frame.

Yeah, the specific tri-head screwdriver for the joycons is proprietary, or really obscure, I think. What I meant was that I used a tiny flat head screwdriver, and while it wasn't as easy as using the correct kind, it turned out not to be a lot of trouble to unscrew the thing open. Doesn't appear to be any damage to the screws either.

Do you have all 42/42 Shrine Quests completed? I found that the hardest ones to locate were the ones that didn't ping the radar, since for those you need to find the npc and that's not always as easy to notice.

Have you found that one mysterious graveyard? Gone beachcombing for runes? Done all of Kass's quests? Gone sand-seal racing? Found all 13 shrines in the Hebra mountains map zone?

I actually MISSED Kass for one shrine quest and found him in the jungle AFTER I had done the shrine, and so when I talked to him he gave me the quest and told me I'd completed it all in one go. I was at 120 Shrines and yet I had 41/41 Shrine Quests marked completed and it was driving me mildly bonkers for a bit.

It says I'm at 40/42 shrine quests, with one being the Stolen Heirloom one in Kakariko, and the other seems to be the Spring of Wisdom but I already did that one, just haven't found who I need to talk to to "complete" it...


so still missing 1 shrine. :(




edit: found who I needed to talk to for the spring of wisdom. so now at 41/42. so it's not a shrine quest I'm missing.

I can't remember for sure if the shrine in Gerudo Desert where you light the four torches had a shrine quest associated with it, but I don't think it did. It stands out in my mind during my shrine hunt because it didn't show up on the Sheikah Sensor and I had already completed 42/42 shrine quests at the time.
