I'm getting really into the korok hunt in my main play through (Normal Mode). I'm currently at 559 (without a guide) and I've become completely obsessed with rocks. Sometimes I find koroks in the most unassuming places, such as under a rock on a beach that could've been just about any old rock. It makes me paranoid. XD

Done the beginning trials as well. I think I never did more than the beginning trials in my first play through. How much harder would you say the other two are in comparison? The beginning one is not too bad, so I'm hoping they ramp up the difficulty in the other two. Challenge me, Nintendo! (Though I guess I will regret saying that when I do them in Master Mode. XD )

Haven't gone into Hyrule Castle yet, I was thinking I wanted to do it all in one go later, but then I realised I need to go there for that one memory... So I guess it will be two trips in there. Might as well grab the shrine and shield when I go in there the first round then. Because why not. Stock up on some awesome weaponry. Do a couple of side quests. (almost forgot them as well! XD So much for efficiency.)

@StuTwo Yeah, I don't get why people are acting like Ganondorf was always this memorable villain that suddenly became a cloud of vapor in BotW. As you said, The Wind Waker is the only game where he's not just a boring representation of pure evil.

Ganon and Zelda in BotW remind me a lot of Sin and Yuna in FFX, to be honest.

Maybe it was just the million+ times I played through Ocarina, or maybe it was just the sense of coolness seeing Ganon in human form after only seeing his pig form in the previous games when I was a kid, but I thought Ganondorf was pretty memorable as a villain.

Just keep in mind that people all have different histories and different perspectives, and then you'll understand why people have different opinions from your own.

Ganon needs a new approach. He's basically always just been dude who hungers for power in its most pure form, which is the point, but still.

In this case, he went from insane dude/pig to angry cloud.

I know they made him more interesting in certain games like Wind Waker, but I wish Nintendo would give Ganon a personality and motive that's not just "I'm evil because reasons".

Just replaying this to get ready for the DLC. After doing almost no exploration of Hyrule Castle on my first playthrough, and therefore not getting the Hylian Shield, I completely fluked it on this playthrough and came in through the hole in the wall straight into the cells area where the shiled is. Without having a clue where I was going.

Easily his most unexpected form.

I do think Ganondorf is a much better villain in his human form than as a pig or as a cloud. As a human, even if he was portrayed as one-dimensional, he has a charisma that's pretty captivating. Honestly, I would go as far as to say that Ganondorf is likely Nintendo's most charismatic villain.

Some of you mentioned how Ganondorf was barely characterized in TP and was much more developed in Wind Waker. I beg to differ IMHO. While he was better characterized in Wind Waker, he was BARELY more characterized. A lot of people say that Ganondorf was a lot more characterized and understandable, but there's literally just one sentence in the entire game that makes people feel that way. The rest of the game he's the same as he's always been. So I don't understand why people point to Wind Waker and say "developed Ganondorf" when he literally just said one sentence different than the other versions of Ganondorf in other games.

@Dezzy I was hoping someone would make that connection lol.

Ocarina Ganondorf is easily the best imo.

He looks too cartoonishly evil in most of the others.

Where do I get better armour? I’ve done 16 shrines but never looted any. The only merchant I’ve found selling them has basic armour and stealth stuff. Have I missed something? Also where can I get more bomb arrows?

@Roamer Find a shop in a village.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

Except for the giant maze shrines, there's rarely armour in any. Most in the village shops.
Lots of bomb arrows in Rito Village. Also around Hyrule Castle outer walls.

I think the Barbarian set in the 3 giant mazes I think the only other set is the climber set, one piece is in the shrine between the dueling peaks.

Thanks all! I bought the Hyrule armour for now. Just found the castle!

Question... this DLC that is coming out, can you play it if you haven’t beaten the game yet? I beat the game but unlike other Zelda games in order to replay it you have to start over with a new save file. My son likes to replay after my wife and I have beaten the game. Pretty dumb on Nintendo part for this to be the case.

Yeah they haven't made it clear. The best thing would be if it just merges into the main game so you can do it at any point and all of your gear and stats are carried across.
That'd be great for replay value.
Another option is that they'll just have it gated like the master sword is. So you have to get maybe 16 hearts before you can attempt it. Something like that.
Or it might just be entirely separate that you can only access through the menu.

I think the best appearance wise is the one in Hyrule Warriors, gotta love the long badass hair.

@Qwertyninty I think Nintendo expects everyone who uses the Switch to have their own profile. It's not a brilliant solution but can have advantages like if for example you can share the online subscription benefits between all profiles on your Switch like with Xbox Live Gold.

Man, I sort of forgot just how great the Hyrule Castle Theme was until hearing it again. I wish I had a good understanding of music so I could better appreciate it, but it’s still such a nice piece to hear.
