Is it worth it for me to go set out for the Master Sword this early (just beat Vah Ruta or whatever the gently caress)

I did. it's useful to have a sword that doesn't break (completely) imo, plus the 2x damage boost is nice when doing the rest of n-blight ganons. you do need to find+complete a lot of shrines though

I couldn't get the gate to stay open in the basement of the castle. I shot the corrupted eye through the bent hole, the gate raised and then a lizard dude came running out and the gate slammed shut.

What did I do wrong? I really want that shield.

A fully seamless world, with actual underground caves and indoor areas instead of shrines that have to load. Dungeons which are like Hyrule Castle and have optional key items buried deep within, similar to the shield, but rather than do anything new, they facilitate cooler movement--hookshot, a spinner that works on any climbable surface, some kind of air dash, etc. These same dungeons should also have dungeon gimmicks and puzzles like old school Zeldas, but still allow for freeform exploration (maybe lock items and secret bosses behind navigational puzzles?).

The 900 Korok seeds (with only half required to fully power up) are fine in essence, but I'd like them dressed up more to make them feel more varied than they actually are. Add a few dozen more puzzle types, and reskin some of them--for example, the archery challenges could easily be Poes, and the Korok gleams of light that fly around could be, I dunno, the loving rabbit from Mario. And instead of making the cost for inventory space exponential, just add more things to do with seeds, like purchase special items, or provide unique upgrade ingredients.

Edit: Alternatively, all I need is for them to surprise me again

Basically the adventure being that the Rito take you across the unpassable canyons of the north to allow you to go to new and undiscovered lands where you meet different cultures and there is a big bad that you have to take care of there, while at the same time deal with completely foreign people and lands and learn about them as well.

Edit: these different cultures would explain new weapon styles like the hookshot etc. Also, make this game have a function that allows you to choose to have 2 players going at the same time being that it would be Link and Zelda exploring these new lands.

I was just fooling around for a bit and suddenly fire arrows were working just fine in the rain when I was on the motorcycle. When I hopped off, they still worked. I was thinking maybe it was the Royal Guard Bow I was using as a previously undiscovered effect, but when I swapped out bows to test that theory, the fire arrows still worked fine. Possible bug?

Yes, all 3 have a rotation pattern. Daily maybe?

They all come back each day.

Note that you'll always get a scale the first time you shoot a dragon, no matter where you hit it, probably because you need one of each scale for shrine quests. After that, though, you can start getting the more specific parts.

Also getting chunks off them is a lot easier with a) a bow with zoom (phrenic or golden) and/or immunity to whichever element that one is.

Harrow
Jun 30, 2012

Rito bows are good, too (Swallow or Falcon). They don't zoom, but they have a really long range so you don't have to account for arrow drop as much. Just don't use the Great Eagle Bow, because it fires three arrows and will probably hit something you aren't aiming at.

Ancient Bow has drat near zero drop off at hilarious ranges. I tend to just use that for pin pointing stuff that just needs to be hit.

Fire arrows have always ignited in rain, as far as I know, though the things you ignite with them douse quickly. It's Bomb Arrows that lose their capabilities in rain.

If you mean heart trades then yes, those count as permanent (unlike yellow food-boosted hearts) and you can reconfigure back to less than 13 hearts afterwards.

Also go chase the dragon.

Hobbies of the Rich is the worst sidequest. I wish I'd never helped that guy and his family.

I wish they were still doing DLC. I would totally pay for one that is just petting dogs, Ezlo the hat, and helping some of the travelers you end up rescuing repeatedly. Get off the road, it's dangerous!

The only thing I wish about them is that they reacted more when you're immune to whatever element they are. It's great fun just ignoring the bastards while they try and zap you but I wish I could actually piss them off.

Also stealth is a wonderful thing.

Ah, Wasteland Tower. My final conquest on my first playthrough.

My first encounter went about as badly as yours did.

When I eventually came back, stocked up with electrical resistance food and the best dragonbone gear I could find... Well, I actually killed nearly all of them from a distance with bomb arrows.

Just learned from a friend you could use plants as bait to catch fish, and the bait depends on the kind of fish too. Apparently it was a loading screen tip, but I swear I never saw it in my 200 hr play through. Pretty cool to come back to the game and just hear weird poo poo like that you never knew.
