The worst are the two shrines on either side of the split peak that require you to remember wtf is going on in one to solve the other. Thank god for the screenshot button.

it's the button on the left joycon / left side of the controller, opposite the home button. you push it to get a screenshot or hold it to clip the last 30 seconds of video (for games that support it). you can go to the home menu and find the Library at the bottom to see your screenshots/videos. hope this helps

Oh for shure

It's the button I accidentally hit and then want to delete

I did take some fun pics climbing up the top of Hyrule castle and ya know, finding a Korok but also displaying my sweet armor with a handplant

Game has been around a few years but me I've been around for a few decades so sometimes I just *fart*

That's what I consistently did on the Wii U whenever I wanted to take a visual note of anything. Taking a screenshot via the home menu would've taken ages.

(Hell, pressing home for any reason was a huge mistake regardless)

I imagine most people do those shrines before they have the camera.

When I first came across them I was confused since the vertical component of the sensor wasn't entirely clear since I just came off the plateau and I didn't visit them until far later when I had more stamina under my belt. Totally fair though, some people will just climb that fuckin' mountain, especially since there's a tower right nearby.

Today I learned: You can use a Drillshaft to break those cracked rock walls/piles that are normally only destroyable by bombs.

and also the sledgehammer, and also all the goron weapons (well drillshaft is also a goron weapon)

similarly, they all deal extra damage to talus enemies and can kill pebblits with a swing

I actually didn't know the hammer and sledgeswords worked on them either...

I thought weapons worked on them, but it's far funnier to pick them up and throw them.

I gotta say I really enjoy some of these shrines. It's so fun to solve them with my kid (a lot of his ideas actually work even when I think they're wild as hell) and super satisfying.

I used to get guides for, like, most games, but nowadays the internet is generally pretty reliable. I'm not the kind of person who really cares about spoilers anyway.

I still prefer paper guides for old RPGs just because its nice to be able to flip back and forth between pages/charts while playing. Text-only gamefaqs guides can be lacking due to a lack of maps/charts/etc, and PDF scans of paper guides generally suffer from a lack of bookmarks or other easy ways of flipping back and forth between multiple pages.

There are online guides that are strictly better than a book due to good use of navigation links and good graphic design, but finding a site like that for an older game can be tricky.

Me too; I have a physical guide for basically every Zelda game and many others. Due to lack of shelf space I have had to move to digital scans of a lot of those guides, but I cherish all books.

I miss the SNES/N64 days when I bought game guides more often, even just to read for fun. It's nice to have printed maps and stuff rather than depending on youtube videos or click generator sites full of padded text for simple answers. I think the only game book I've bought since Majora's Mask was the deluxe guide for MGSV, and that was mainly because it turns the normal game guide into a coffeetable textbook of details regarding all aspects of the game design and systems.

Monster Maze posted a theory video on the Master Cycle Zero today, and it made me wonder if the DLC for Age of Calamity is gonna have it as a potential weapon for Link, like Epona was in Hyrule Warriors.

Between that and the Korok Seeds there's a lot of very 'kid logic' kind of puzzles. I do like that they vary them up enough that it doesn't get too boring or repetitive, when you find a shrine you can never be quite sure what you're going to get.

Again a very likpatous story
Shrines stopped being cool places where I wondered what neat puzzle awaited me when I found one, to sources of anxiety after I found the first gyro shrine. After that it was always "Oh gently caress is this going to be another lovely gyro shrine?"

also the ball maze (which is the first one anyone will run into) is easily the worst one, requiring both precision and tight timing

Yeah I used the maze to flick the orb over

You can also turn the entire maze upside down and use the bottom.
