this is going to be the longest week ever

I told my girlfriend I want to start it with her because it seems like it's gonna be a memorable game and we like to share our interests with each other. But she has to travel for work unexpectedly so now I have to wait until the next week to play it.

Nice try but you can't own me any harder than I already owned myself.

Without spoiling can someone tell me if I'm missing something or if the orb in Impa's house is actually gated until like the end of the game. I thought for sure being able to take it would be my reward for finding all the memories but there actually wasn't a reward for that afaik.

I found the spot you're obviously supposed to use the orb (the floor piece around the corner from the fairy fountain) but never actually found a way for those idiots to let me borrow it.

Same! I am going to avoid the spoilers and try to persevere and find the answer on my own. Thanks crew.

yeah. this last one isn't a quest shrine so now i'm just going to the top of every tower, peak, and similarly high place and just looking around for that orange glow

and before anyone asks, yes i did get the shrines in all four corners of the map

Considering they don't seem to be masked by draw distance it's pretty impressive how many shrines are out in the open but not viewable from most vantage points, they're really tucked away behind hills and valleys and stuff.

I eventually gave up and used a map for the last couple and id missed one behind a rock in the sort of middle South and, more embarrassingly, one next to a stable id never noticed across the road from lon lon ranch

It's loving nuts how long it took me to find some of those stables that are like right in the center of the map, and I had basically passed multiple times

Master Mode just seems like a slog, I realized way too late that like all of my replays of Metroid Prime were brought down by unnecessarily doing them on Bullet Sponge Mode, and I will not make that mistake again.

Eh, it makes boss battles better but screws up the flow of getting around. For every time it makes a battle more interesting or exciting there's multiple times you had to spend ten seconds shooting a magmoor in the head.

You can't upgrade the dlc armor which kinda sucks. It looks cool though.

I saw a shrine around hour 8 and marked it on my map but didn't bother doing it. Around hour 150 I finally went back to it and got the Climbing gear I'd been missing all game.

hope you got lots of lizards so you can upgrade it

I do but I'm roadblocked by ice keese wings because of this and the desert gear.

I'm gonna wait to do it until I finish the four beasts and beat Ganon.

Hero's Path was really handy for figuring out which of the samey featureless ruins in Hyrule Field I hadn't been to, for finding all of the dlc gear.

I just put the game down for a while and started some other stuff. There's only one BOTW, I'd rather come back to it after a bit than power through when I'm not really feeling it.
