These are not mutually exclusive, dude. Listen to your inner sloth and take aggressive inaction.

it’s also a really really great game, and in the older style :)

Link Between Worlds is really fun and satisfying if a bit too easy midgame - I could afford to rent every single item immediately and was basically unstoppable through the dungeons

So it’s finally happening, after playing nothing but Zelda for almost a month, I’m starting to burn out.

I think I’m gonna do side stuff one more day and then head over to Ganon.

Knowing me I probably won’t pick up the game again for a few years, at least.

What’s your favorite quests that you think I shouldn’t miss out on?

Eventide, the Sword Trials, Tarrey Town, saving Nayru, having a good sneak around the castle - have you done that yet, or have you been saving it for the endgame?

Shield surfing, Satori Mt, the Horse Fairy.

Eventide - not sure what this is

Sword of Trials - haven't found it yet but figured it was an endless dungeon type thing I could do anytime?

Tarrey Town - on this atm

Having a good sneak around the castle - have been saving the castle in general for the end game

Shield Surfing - found the lady that times your shield surfing down the mountain and beat her record, not sure if you mean something else?

Satori Mt. - this is the lord of the mountain, isn't it? I found him and rode him (had this spoiled beforehand) but otherwise haven't actually completed any quests related to him yet

The Horse Fairy - haven't found this

I'm pretty sure you're intended to make expeditions into the castle multiple times over the course of the game.

Lol at doing anything like intended at this game. I only today found the Goron dude for Tarry Town and I had to look it up because I had apparently completely missed the Southern Mine by just climbing my way up the mountain so I just never actually passed by it.

I think I'm still missing a couple of stables I avoid paths so much.

I any case, I assumed for some reason the castle was off limits until the end game or something idk why

It makes sense because going to the castle to fight Ganon of usually the last thing you do in any given Zelda. There's a lot of good loot to find there, however, so it's worth your while to explore even if it's intimidating with so many guardians around. The most important thing to find is the nearly unbreakable Hylian shield with the shrine at the port being a close second.

I'd say I'm at midgame. Two beasts done and just got the master sword and fire breaker armor. The castle has seemed off limits to me, how should I visit it? Just go in the front door or is there a more logical spot? I do have a quest to get a cookbook, which I found odd to get so early.

Theres like five different ways to get in depending on how comfortable you are deal with Guardians. The safest way by far is to sail/cryonis/glide into the river entrance.

Also there are a few good things to keep an eye out for. A Memory, 2 diaries (one pretty hidden) as well as some great equipment and a shrine.

Just don't go up too far to the big chapel unless you want to fight Ganon

I'm using it currently and there's absolutely zero performance impact, just less-than-second moments where textures load in when I switch armors for the first time after starting up CEMU

Eventide: big island in the southeast, like someone already said

The Trials are DLC, dunno if you have that. But there's 3 sets of them and you get a perma-powered-up Master Sword at the end. Which is nice.

Sneaking around the castle is thrilling at lower levels, and there's good loot in there. Highly recommended.

Shield surfing: yeah, that, and just in general. Sand seal racing is fun too, but gets boring quicker.

Satori Mt: that's it, just because he's cool

Horse fairy isn't much use, but is another cool thing

There's a couple of quests, and someone in a stable near the castle tells you about different ways to sneak in. It's heavily hinted that it's worthwhile and survivable to nose around the castle even if you aren't ready to fight Ganon.

Thinking about it, I realize that I assumed the purple stuff swirling around the castle was a sort of forcefield that would keep me out until I had all 4 Divine Beasts.

This was just a wild assumption on my part based on how other games worked. BotW very clearly implied that there was no area off limits in the game so that was my bad.

It makes sense that Guardians are scattered in seemingly nonsensical places. They were unleashed in a chaotic fashion so they just sped off in murderous rages across the land.
