They should add Gerudo jail to that "You can just leave!" TotK meme if it isn't already on there. I just wish the dad in there would figure that out.

The wind blows their mask up and we see a very clear five o clock shadow and Link makes a shocked look at their face. Whether the character is meant to be trans or just a cross dresser is quite unclear. I don’t know if there’s anything indicating that they are actually Gerudo or just a Hylian in the outfit. It would be funny if this is the only AMAB Gerudo in the last century though.

They can't be a Gerudo : they're not huge.

If you don't mind using an external site, you can go to https://mapgenie.io/zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/maps/hyrule, hit the button on the left to hide everything, and then turn caves back on. Then just compare with your map to see where you are missing a checkmarked cave.

It'd be great if they would patch the game so when you get the Satori buff it only lights up caves you don't have the bubbulfrog from, which is what I had thought it was doing in the first place until being severely disappointed.

Whoof, yeah. Finding the last few Bubbulfrogs ended up being a couple of evenings of giving apples to the Satori trees, teleporting up into the sky, and patiently marking/unmarking cave signs until I found the last few. I was able to do it without looking up locations online, though, which was kind of surprising.

the reward for all koroks being a literal pile of poop in this game and the last should make it clear how nintendo feels about people trying to 100% their game, the bubblefrogs being annoying to track down are completely intentional

If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

Getting all the Bubbelfrogs is cool because there are a lot of interesting caves and they have more variety than I expected. Plus the final Koltin cutscene is a good time.

On the plus side, going through the caves meant I found a few sidequests I'd missed. The Mushroom Hunters quest was actually really quite sweet :)

Yeah, Koltin’s final cutscene is very satisfying.

I haven’t finished all the Addison sign puzzles but I assume it’s similar.

In BotW a couple of the NPCs in Kara Kara Bazaar say Vilia is a Hylian, with one of them saying it's unusual to see a Hylian wearing Gerudo clothing. As with most things about Vilia though I prefer to completely ignore how canon treats them

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Hestu should have given you a discount for shaking your controller like maracas while the dance happens.

I still did it anyways but a reward for us Hestu friends might show the dance-skippers the light.

I hadn't forgotten but I had mistakenly thought I had all those done. I never found the "Pit" Cave, so I had the three others marked as incomplete on my map and wrapped those up which is when I got to the "there is one frog left" message from Koltin and started scouring the land trying to find it to no avail. Super glad I finished it though, I really liked how that storyline wrapped up and going to pass the news on to Kilton.

I don't think I've ever fused something to a shield. Any cool things I should try? I've basically been ignoring fuse completely except for "fuse whatever monster part onto whatever weapon"

A ruby to help keep you warm and to melt ice you're standing next to is a good one to keep around. For actual fun stuff, rockets are great and give you useful mobility, and anything with an offensive role (flame jet, laser, etc) is good even if it will eat through the shield's durability.

There's also the comedy bouncy option.

I fused a cannon shield and it was real funny (the true reason to do anything in this game) even if it did kinda poo poo damage and broke my shield in like 10 seconds

Made it to the final fight yesterday but didn’t have time to get through it. Hope to roll credits tonight

I hosed up and used up all but one serving of gloom food before the final chamber and am already down to like 8 hearts. So I either need to git gud or load a save, cook a shitload, and do a bit of the gauntlet again. I suck rear end at dodge/parry

Sapphires for a cooling shield too, if that's not obvious, and a suitably bashy horn lets you break ore outcrops with a parry.

Throw some meat on the ground, freeze it with an ice fruit, and fuse the icy meat to a shield. You get an excellent shield-surfing shield; low friction comparable to a cart-shield but with more maneuverability.

You've got to know the rules before you can break 'em. Otherwise, it's no fun.

Or be cheap and sell the ruby/sapphire and do it with cold/heat talus hearts and also sell the gems those taluses give you!
