I've four shrines left in the first game, and I want to obtain that awful tight tunic before dropping the game for good. How much of a pain in the arse is it to get the two dragon scales?

I feel like I've been running across the dragons pretty frequently just in teleporting around to the various towers, I have quite a few dragon bits that I never do anything with.

i know I've already gotten the sequel, but is there anything as onboxious as those dreadful gyro puzzles?

How much of a pain in the arse is it to get the two dragon scales? Not much if you know their paths - once you spot one they're persistent, so you can just teleport to a convenient sky shrine and jump. Once you're on them just hit them with something and pick up a scale, then wait for 10 mins and repeat. Ed: hang on you meant BotW. Don't try and land on those dragons. But they have specific times/places they show up flying low so bullet time and zoom bows do the job nicely.

In the first game there are certain spots where you can just use a campfire to set the time of day, and the dragons will spawn in front of you.

If you have to ask yourself 'is this a point of no return?' the answer is no. You're fine

Giggy posted:The shield is underneath Hyrule castle but on the surface, not the depths. You go in through the harbor entrance. I'f you're facing the castle from lookout landing the entrance is around the back. There's a torch puzzle for the shield chest to appear. Yeah I found the soldier armor, I just figured the Hylian Shield was there too. I forgot about the spoilered location entirely, I feel silly now. Actually, speaking of feeling like an idiot, I also still seem to be missing a side quest in Korok Forest. I've done the three shrine quests, the whirlpool picture quest, and the scavenger hunt quest but the one korok keeps saying that someone needs help even though no one else has a quest flag. What am I missing?

Just go at whatever pace ya feel. There's gonna be another semi-major quest after the castle section but it would probably be good to do some side quests before just to scatter them out.

If I could go back in time and change one thing about how I played, I would've beelined the main temples a lot earlier to have more of my toys to play with for the sidequesting phase.

Also, and I can’t stress this enough, go straight to Lookout Landing after hitting the surface and do the main quests there. BotW had me in the mindset that the big quest I got after leaving tutorial land was the ultimate final quest, so should go exploring for other stuff. Not having the paraglider for a weirdly long time is what got me to finally glance at a website to see if they for some reason took that out of the game. And then I felt silly. Turns out the quests there quickly unlock some of the most important basic tools.

That and finally getting the 2 fan bike are the reasons I'm only now really going around the underground and am wanting to do more side quests. Hell I made a B-Line for the peak of Death Mountain and ignored almost all of the caves on the sides when I did the main Goron quest.

I had the same thing happen lmao. I spent half an hour trying to do the shrine without the glider where you launch a ball and yourself over a large gap. It's the only time I had to look up a shrine, felt pretty dumb.

The hover bike is great for the depths but I'm not sure using it early on the surface is a good idea. You end up skipping a lot of good poo poo.

Right after getting off tutorial island I talked to someone or maybe read a sign that mentioned weird poo poo happening at Kakariko Village. So I decided to try and make my way over there. It's a sandbox, go do whatever you want! Turns out the game sucks rear end without having extremely basic conveniences like the glider and a home base and the sky towers active to reveal the map. I started having a lot more fun once I got through the Lookout Landing quests. It's really an extension of the tutorial phase and that was not at all clear to me.

After playing for about 3h without the paraglider, the contrarian part of my brain activated and I did the rest of the game without it. I made a variety of special vehicles to get into chasms.

I guess whether you fly around or hoof it, the game ends up balancing out because you have to switch transportation modes to find the stuff you missed

I saw the monster-fort looking structure located by flying, ominous, calamity-stricken Hyrule Castle and said "not gonna trick me twice, I know not to get too close to this area" and went to Kakariko instead, since the towers still look sheikha-related. I ended up at the shrine on the floating island you reach by climbing a root (right near kakariko/the nearby tower) before realizing that this was the third shrine I've gotten to that obviously needed the paraglider, and i couldnt do anything with towers. I looked up where it was in case i was heading the wrong way, since the game seemed to expect me to do a lot of shrine fast traveling OR I had already missed it It makes sense from a design perspective, they put a centralized hub right next to the beginning and end goal of the game so you can branch out from that hub, but the first thing I did in BOTW was hit the coliseum next to the plateau, get too close to Hyrule Castle, die to Guardians a few times around the sacred grounds, then wander off around the perimeter of hyrule field looking for shrines until making it to Kakariko. This time I just skipped the part where I got too close to Hyrule Castle and went straight to the first town somebody mentioned, wondering to myself when I would get the glider since you'd normally already have it at that point

I assumed that, like BOTW, the tutorial would end with me getting the paraglider so I kept following the quests until I got it

Totk is now bubble frog and korok hunter to me. I need the rest of the mystic set and more slots for multi shot bows. I was doing that cave shrine quest where you have to help a man with his kid? Zora friend find a shrine and I found a 55 str royal shield and had to fuse it for breaking it apart later when I get more slots.

I thought the joke was supposed to be that because Zora age more slowly than humans, they were actually childhood friends at one point, which would still be a bit weird but make some sense. And just now I looked it up and it wasn't that gently caress this I'm not thinking about it any more

I played for several hours without it because when I went down to the depths for the first time I decided to save exploring that for later because I wanted to map out the overworld first. I did watch BOTW showed me I could, but to the detriment of TOTK. I totally screwed myself in doing so and there's no way to know I did and made the game worse for me.
