My biggest gripe with the breakable weapons is that once they're gone, they're gone. I have a handful of special weapons that I don't want to destroy, I don't really have a place to store them either. At least, not this many...
@teamladd Visit Kakariko Village. If you haven't been there yet, don't worry, you will soon.
@teamladd Well the first settlement you come to has a clothes shop. Beyond that, I haven't found much. Just an item of headwear in a chest.
On another topic, has anyone bodged/cheeses any of the shrines at all? There's a lot more scope for it, seeing as it's more physics-based problem-solving that explicit puzzle design. I've just beaten Mezza Lo Shrine (I don't think that's a spoiler - it's not as if the shrine names have much significance) without really making use of the laser, and I'm still a bit curious about that the 'correct' way of solving it is.
Oh, and for spirit orb exchanges, I went HHSS, and I'm thinking of going for another heart next. I'm surprised anyone went for stamina first, as three hearts just seems to fragile. Also, when it came to the choice, I had a whole inventory full of food that healed over 3 hearts that I refused to eat because it would be wasteful. So I've been able to justify eating some of them now.
@Ootfan98@Vee_Flames - You're too kind, I just chalk it up to how slow and careful I was at the start. When I saw one of those Bokoblins take off all but a quarter of my life, I booked it!
...And as I was reading the forum just now, I came across this woman near a shrine. I did what she told me not to do accidentally when trying to get something and well... she freaked out and let's just say I'm glad I was at full health...
@Maxz I went the opposite way SSHH, I wanted to explore first, before taking on enemies (unless absolutely necessary). I also found that I was getting wiped out so easily, I thought the hearts would not be much benefit
I probably.would have gone stamina for the 3rd time, but I found some head gear.
I think I will be going hearts going forward
@Vee_Flames You are gonna want to stock up on a lot of things!
One of the main bosses is best to use arrows on, ran out of normal ones and had to use ice, going out into hot and or cold places need food/potions that reduce the hot/cold, even strong weapons are needed, at least bombs are endless
I've had so many giddy moments in this game like when I've just accidently discovered the dragons or Fairy Fountain or boomerangs or the Fire Rod. The funny thing is these are perfrctly normal for Zelda games but now that it's presented as something to discover it's so much more exciting.
@rk3388 I went SSHH. I want the extra climbing distance. Got me into a few areas where maybe I shouldn't be. I probably would have continued on Stamina, but I found some clothes that helped.
Sinse I worked out how to upgrade clothes, I will be choosing hearts going forward
I have one more gripe about this game... It is really annoying when you're trying to get somewhere, and you devise a plan that absolutely depends on climbing, and then it start raining. I don't know if there is some kind of rain-resistant gloves, or something, but if you have your heart set on climbing somewhere, you have to either wait it out or leave (Most of the time I just wait it out, and it takes forever! )
It's weird how the game goes from breathtakingly gorgeous to weird looking just depending on if they put grass on the ground or not. Cuz the grass and plantlife is beautiful, then you walk off of it and it's these blurry green and gray textures.
@Tsurii Almost did the exact same thing. Looks like I'll have to come back later.
Anyone came up with any good ways to make money? I don't know if there are items that are only good for selling or not. I've heard not to sell diamonds, but what about other gems? I really want that set of stealth gear.

You can always make a campfire, anywhere. I've gathered lots of flintstone and wood and never had to buy any, definitely comes in handy when you have your heart set on a climb. Obviously you need a sword or some other metallic melee weapon for that, but that shouldn't be a problem.
Although there are places where it's raining by default - when you sit at the campfire and let the time pass, the weather will be beautiful for 2 or 3 seconds, then it starts to rain again.
Are you forced to shoot and arrow when you're aiming? Or can you cancel your action?
Don't know if your answer has been answered or if you've figured it out already, but you can cancel. You just tap X to lower your bow and X a second time to place back on your back.
My biggest gripe with the breakable weapons is that once they're gone, they're gone.
Apparently, there are special weapons that can be repaired. I've been pretty conservative with the weapons I like most, but eventually they all break at some point. The good news is: so far it wasn't that hard to get the same weapon again from other enemies. So just go ahead and use them, you'll find another copy of it soon.
Has anyone got any tips on where to find some decent clothing.
Apart from the clothing shop in Hateno (where I never bought a single piece of clothing): main and side quests. Although it's not like I have tons of pieces of clothing now, maybe 6 or so. Three of them have special abilities and almost all of them got already upgraded once or even twice. So I don't need new clothes since my current ones have some nice buffs.
I think I have been playing for 18 hours or so (switch version). Only completed 16 Shrines. I was wondering what people were choosing as priority with hearts & stamina? I chose Stamina the first couple of times
Regarding the upgrades: So far I went Hearts, Hearts, Stamina, Hearts, Stamina. Wow, 16 shrines in only 18 hours? I've played for 40 hours and have only found 18 shrines so far. My priorities were definitely elsewhere.
Although I have been wandering around for nothing (although not really, I still did explore a lot and got lots of great weapons) for too long in the Illumeni area once (don't know for how many hours), searching for a memory location, because the description that the old traveler at the staples - the one who's also a painter - gave me after seeing the picture in the album was wrong, he said something about a cliff in the south but it was actually in the west and I had already been there before (but didn't know he meant that place).
I can't remember his name anymore and he's not at the staples anymore, so I tried to Google it and found nothing. He's not mentioned by name anywhere, in any guide. I only found this picture of him. Does anyone know his name and am I the only one who was encountered him? ^^
I love this game so much, it's full of tiny details, it seems like they've thought of everything.
Breath of the Wild is bringing back huge 90s nostalgia, there was a PC game I used to play back in the 90s. Professor Tim's Incredible Machines and BotW's shrines really remind me of that game.
Shaping up to be the best game I've ever played. Stayed up all night playing it last night, with no idea how far into the story I am, but I don't care. I'm taking my time with this game and enjoying every second of it. The fact that I can put the Switch in my bag and play this wherever I want just blows my mind.
@Octane Well so far all the weapons that I got from chests or NPC weren't unique, in other words: I got them multiple times on other occasions as well. Mostly from enemies, that's my - or the - main source for weapons.
There was only one truly 'special' weapon that I got today after finishing a very important main quest and that weapon can be repaired in the workshop in that place where you get the weapon.
IIRC, I was able to make a campfire when it was raining. Not too sure though, my mind has been clouded with tons of details and bits of information in the last three days and I haven't slept much, so maybe you're right and you can't make a campfire in the rain - which would be totally logical, but I distinctly remember 'beating' this logic at least on one occasion. Have to try it again tomorrow to confirm or deny it, I'm too tired now.
@shani About that special weapon, you mean the Zora Trident or whatever it's called? Yes, I was talking about that one. It can still break, right? Anyway, I got another complete weapon set that looked pretty exclusive, maybe I should just Google them. I've stored the most important weapons so far, and I'm hesitant to use the others. It's pretty annoying, if I knew for certain I could get them again, I wouldn't even bother. Wouldn't want to loose an exclusive sword or shield though..
And I'm pretty certain you can't do it in the rain, I've tried it today. It didn't work, at first I didn't understand why I didn't work, but it's only logical. My advice is keep an eye out on the weather forecast, if rain is coming, make a fire and rest for a while. That's my best solution so far.
