For the first half of the game, you stumble upon a new shrine every 10 minutes or so while you're exploring the world. So you could easily take turns exploring and then doing a shrine, before swapping over.

This is bugging me! I have the ancient saddle and bridle, but how do I equip them to my horse? When I select them from my inventory nothing happens?
Im prepared for the forehead slapping moment once I find out how as Im betting it is something blindingly simple...

@3dg3d3m0n A few stables have someone tending the horses that can change your bridle and saddle. I wanna say Outskirts Stable is one (near the horse fairy fountain), but I don’t remember the others.
Just be aware that “special horses” can’t be changed. (Epona, Gerudo Giant, Stalhorse, Lord of the Mountain)

Pineapple on pizza is a good thing. Just saying.

I went for dinner with some relatives yesterday. One of my nieces had a pizza where the only topping, besides the tomato and cheese base, was pineapple. Looked beautiful.

Please don't tag Octane...

@toiletduck Too late.

There’s a reason the pineapple facsimile in BotW is a Hearty Durian.
Y u no like extra hearts, Octane!? 😂

@gcunit Isn't it just delicious? This is now my preferred play method.

@gcunit @AlohaPizzaJack it seems uncomfortable to play with your hands next to your ears, how is that?

@toiletduck Without a strap, I would suggest the most comfortable way to play is sat at a desk, putting both elbows down on the desk to support the weight of your head and goggles. But have a clear desk (unlike mine) cos when you want to turn to look around mess be happenin.

@gcunit ok thanks, that really doesn't sound like my cup of tea

I've always loved the swimming in BotW, but with the VR goggles it's even better.

The VR gives a real injection to this game for me. The reduced clarity makes distant areas more intriguing, and I just rant to swim in every waterbody in the game again to now get a better appreciation of the variation in depth etc. below the surface of the water and watch the fish.

I've always wanted a follow up game to introduce underwater exploration, but with the VR goggles I need it even more.

I got the game on Wii U again since I had to return my press copies to Nintendo a good long while ago, but while playing a new playthrough, I tried to tackle a difficult shrine about 25 shrines in and had to retreat because my gear was too weak at the time and now I can't remember which shrine it was. Please tell me there's a way to tell if a shrine still has its Spirit Orb without having to enter every single one I've already done...

Unfortunately a shrine turns blue the second you enter it so visually there's no way to tell it apart from the one's that I actually beat and obtained their Spirit Orbs...

Edit: Whoops mega-typo corrected lol. xD

You can teleport to it once you activate it. On your map, it will remain orange until you complete it, when it will turn blue instead.

Hey @LzWinky longtime-no-see! How have you been? @DarthNocturnal Ah! Thanks, I actually thought that they turned completely blue upon entering! Thanks for the info!

It will be hard to find back on your map once you are opening a lot of shrines everywhere. It helps to put a seperate mark it on your map, just to be sure

So I'm finally going to get Breath of the Wild.

My question is this:

Should I buy the whole package with DLC?

Or should I use one of my vouchers on just the main game?

As far as I know, the pack with the dlc offers close to no savings.
