There's no final boss as far as I saw. Search the floaty part of castle.

@NintendoByNature The final boss isn't in the castle, so you're fine.

@VoidofLight @WoomyNNYes perfect. I got the master sword last night. So I'll do some castle exploring later today.

Yeah, so what hell is the master sword's damage? Why is this the only sword without a damage point value? Why is the the game's flagship, iconic weapon treated like they forgot to finish the game? At least give me an NPC saying, it's a mystery, or SOMETHING. It just looks like something is broken, or forgotten, when everything else in the game is self explanitory or explained.

@WoomyNNYes Think it’s the usual 30? But yeah it’s pretty weird that they left it out.

Anyone know any interesting side quests/adventures to do? Wanted to take a break from shrines, been doing a lot in order to take on the final boss.

Also I completed the last temple (gerudo) and got the master sword yesterday 😃. Pretty happy with my progress so far, currently 60 hours in.

@Breeze23 I'm in a similar boat. Im going to work on the Gazzette horse stable quests next, you know, with the white pelican bird guy (new paper reporter) standing at every horse stable. This news paper quest rewards the frog armor, which I really want, it lets you climb in rain or wet caves.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, the horse stable nearest to Rito village is now a news paper, and if you go to that stable, it will trigger the news paper/Gazette side quest with the white pelican bird guy.

@WoomyNNYes Yeah I’ve done a couple of those. Really want that frog suit too. It rains a lot whenever I go to the south east region of the map, so climbing is practically impossible… Never thought that I would come to miss Ravioli’s gale, or any of the champion’s abilities for that matter.

@Breeze23 Have you gotten access to put your hylian hood down yet? You can do that Cece/Reed election side quest in Hateno. It's like a few missions, and after the election, the CeCe lady in the clothing store will recommend putting your hood down.

All the TOTK marketing is link with his Hylian hood down. I just completed that recently.

@WoomyNNYes Ahhhh so that’s how you get your hood down, thanks! Completed the Cece quest a few days ago but I haven’t spoken to her yet.

I got to a point in that Cece election thing where townspeople kept saying the election is soon, but never happened. If you happen to get stuck like I did, look for the Hateno labels in the quest log.

I liked the election quests. Something very different and not expected.

Am I the only one who really dislikes the whole Yiga popping up out of nowhere thing? Really disliked it in BOTW, I guess it’s slightly better now that they are all (mostly?) NPCs instead of just randomly appearing.

60 hours in and just got my first added cell, hero’s path, and auto build last night. I’m really enjoying everything (barring the above) about this game. I’m trying to avoid the main story and focus on side/shrine quests and exploring, but it’s more difficult to avoid main quest items this time around, I think.

Favorite weapon combo, arrows with a shock element added. Makes it pretty easy to take out a monster encampment (and even bigger enemies) from afar, which is by far my favorite approach to combat in this game (picking off one by one from afar, or sneak attacks one by one). What are other people’s favorites?

@Pirate1 I actually had a random Yiga appear on me yesterday, in 50 hours, it’s happened once.

Which is still better than in BotW, where they appeared every 15 steps, but it makes me worry that I maybe “unlocked” them by completing the Yiga story in the Depths.

Personally, I prefer Purah's appearance in "Age of Calamity" more than in this game.

So i fully explored hyrule castle. Ngl, it's probably the only thing disappointing so far in this game. They have daunting music, a dungeon-esque map, and then not much else. Other than common enemies of course. There's great loot to be had though. Just stinks I had to give up some decent stuff to get the newer stuff. It couldve been so much more than loot and a single shrine, so imo, it was kind of a let down. Felt like a dungeon at the start, but was nothing more than enemies, loot, and a shrine.

@NintendoByNature
I felt the same way ( although I know there is a late game quest there) about Hyrule castle. But it has an amazing theme at the very least.

@blindsquarel ok cool. I'll head back there with the quest then at some point.

How far has everyone gotten into the well side quest because honestly it might be my favorite part of the game now. It's gotten to that point where everytime I see one I audibly shout "WELL," rush towards it and dive in headfirst

@N00BiSH
Do you mean the guy who pays you 10 rupees for each well? If so I’m not too far into that quest i really wanted the kakrioko village well to be a dungeon or something scary at least.

@WaffleBoat nothing scarier than an unattended child inside a well
