Ask for help, post game details, talk about leaks, do whatever!

How I typically play open worlds like this is to do what I can in my own and then backtrack to grab anything I missed

I grabbed an interactive map so I could both collect t everything and experience the entire game, and that swatch of missing items in Hyrule field took me literal months of albeit casual playing, but it looks like years of work unless I quit my job

I removed Korok seeds from my game plan because at that point it was a job

How far did y’all completionists get, and how long did it take?

I am the original

Yeah, that’s gonna haunt me in my sleep now. This is in Hyrule Castle btw.

Anyone else think the vow characters, the fighting ones like riju are annoying to use? Like why should we have to go up to them mid fight, click A to prime “let’s go” and the continue fighting. I’ve just found it pretty annoying, especially since the game is great and in BOTW it really easy to use the power up thing. Any tips or info from anyone? Thank for reading my vent story

This is partly a help wanted post and partly a bit of a game...

I have 151 shrines and 120 lightroots. I know I'm missing one final shrine, but I have no idea where it is.

Here's the thing, I've only just started my search for it, and I hope to find it without help, but it did cross my mind that it could be kind of fun to see if anyone might be able to make an educated guess as to what the one shrine I'm missing might be (based on which ones are hardest to find/most easily missable, or perhaps even which ones were last for you if you had a similar thing).

I don't even know if I'm allowed to offer a Reddit award as a well done for the person who gets it right first (and I also don't know if anyone cares about awards, speaking as someone who's never had one), but so long as no one tells me I can't, this will be my plan.

So:

A small reward for the first person to get it right

But...

If the first right answer comes before I've actually found it myself (and it leads me to finding it), then the reward will be slightly less small and a little more medium!

[Please don't tell my mum I'm trying to buy friends.]

Just when I think I have all my light roots, I find another 🫤

To add a little bit of context, with the announcement of Age of Imprisonment, I've been trying to think of a way they could implement Link without actually including Link in the story (since they've stated it's gonna tell the canonical story this time) and I'm almost positive that the Ancient Hero will be the key to this: be stand-in for Link gameplay-wise and after you've completed every mission in the game, you earn a cosmetic piece that turns him into Link, the same way Link gets a cosmetic piece that turns him into the Ancient Hero after completing all the shrines in TOTK.

Now, I know this character is allegedly the hero who defeated the Calamity alongside the divine beasts 10 000 years ago, but the thing is... This makes absolutely no sense. (1) He doesn't look anything like the hero depicted on the tapestry. The only thing that matches is the hair, there is no way in Hell Impa could be certain that it's him. (2) He is wearing the Sages' cloth, which makes it a lot more likely that he comes from Rauru's time and possibly fought alongside the other Sages. (3) Why would the devs give us the costume of Calamity Hero in a game so desperate to pretend that anything BOTW and Calamity-related just doesn't exist? And even if they really DID intend for this Hero to be the Calamity Hero... why is he a dog dressed as a Zonai? By that time, the Zonai would have been extinct for thousands of years, so if he's got to be a dog, then why dress him like a Zonai rather than a Sheikah? There are just too many discrepancies and inconcistencies for me to buy that this character is the Calamity Hero and to dismiss him from the realm of possible characters in Age of Imprisonment.

So I'm looking for information about him, specifically, I'm wondering if there is anything new about him in the recently released Master Works. So I'm asking, if there are Japanese or Japanese-speaking fans out there who own the TOTK Master Works, can you tell me (if you've got pictures, even better!) if the book has anything to say about the Ancient Hero? If someone also feels like taking a lot at the Japanese dialogue you get from Impa when wearing the Ancient Hero Aspect and talking to her, that would be great. I've read it in both French and English and the tone and implications are actually very different in these two so I'm curious about what the original text says. Thanks in advance! 😁

Hey everyone! As the tittle says, i've been wanting to get it for a while, but sadly i'm already pretty far into the story (my save file is from day one and i'm still not done haha), so i don't really want to factory reset the switch in order to have the 1.0 version of the game

Is it still possible to get it on this version without deleting my save file?

Is there a way to skydive straight from great sky island to the depths with no glider, no fairy, without die?

I mean straight from the tutorial to the depths, at the start of the game.

Now that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment was announced, maybe this "hero" will be the game's version of Link to stay canonical?

Ive never had this happen, obviously just a glitch or something but it was a little too funny 😂😭 poor guy really got more than he bargained for 💀💀💀 Im looking/running around so much because i thought there were still other moblins around but his friends had already been (much less painlessly) dispatched 😂😭

Im trying to customize my equipment to be more like the older zelda games around N64-Gamecube/Wii era of games (can’t remember which came out first)

I have Tulin, but the next spot is higher up than the one I’m on and I keep just barely missing the bottom of it. All the others I could hit the side and climb up. Is there any way to gain some altitude? How am I to make this jump? And if I do then how do I get to the boat above it to the right?

I spent like, three hours tracing over the concept art of a generic female Rito NPC because I'm not great at drawing...
