I must be one of the only people whose played this without dying that much.
I've only died to enemies like 5 times or something.
Pretty understandable considering you can indefinitely eat food as long as you don't get one-shotted. But it depends on how you play, really. Me, I'm constantly putting myself in really threatening situations just to see if I can do it; plus, I don't have that many heart pieces yet.
@Nicolai Nicolai is spot on. I died less than 10 times at the start but since then learnt my limits and have since been focusing on the Korok Seeds and Shrines. Currently at 230+ 30+ respectively. Mainly because they fix up my three issues with Link at the moment.
@Tsurii Turns out, there's a Traveler's Sword under the waterfall in Kakariko Village. I believe that all (or at least most) weapons have a specific point where they spawn, so you can always get a new one.
I am in love. I only played like 20 minutes last night (I'm not putting my switch on the dock until I get a screen protector) but the game is gorgeous! Zelda games in my opinion have been gaining a stronger narrative each iteration and this is no different. While I guessed the general identity of the old man from the start, the world that has been shown to me so far is suffused with hidden backstory and I can't wait to discover as much as I can. I will admit I'm having too much fun exploring and burning stuff down. It is sorta funny, to me the world feels more alive, mainly because of how barren it is (from a ruins perspective...so far.). I know that this is a kingdom ravaged by Gannon and I want to find out more about its lost history. So much so that for the first time I don't feel compelled to jump into the saving of the world part. I feel sorta like Link, a stranger in a strange land and I want to learn more about it before I put my life on the line.
The music! Oh, I listened to the soundtrack on the way to work today and I am captivated. In general I love the big symphonic movements of the traditional Zelda musical score and I don't like the piano as much as other string instruments (or percussion instruments since it is considered both) but the simple tinkling melodies form a subtle backdrop to exploring this ravaged yet beautiful world. I do hope this score gets added into the Symphony of the Goddesses tours.
I will say that the game has not changed my mind at all about voice acting. However it is a battle I won't win, so for now I am just grateful that the WHOLE game isn't voice acted. Just major scenes and Zelda herself (I don't like her voice actress so far btw...), so I can deal with it, but it does dampen my enjoyment a bit when it happens.

I'm a Dream Fighter. Perfume is Love, Perfume is Life.
I've also struggled with the Zelda voice actress too. Her voice is very jarring when I hear it and it removes me from the game. Maybe it will grow on me as I play more.
Not mine. Except this they work perfectly, didn't have any kind of connecting issue too. I'll just charge them with Switch turned on on the dock. No problem.
Now: i finally started this game and i have to say that i love EVERYTHING. There's really not a single cons to me. Not even the ONLY 2 frame drops i got in the first 4 hours of playing.
In this 4 hours i did everything (of the important things) in the Plateau. 4 Shrines and got the glider and cloth (for cold) from the King. Now i'm on my way to Kakariko. In the Plateau i got 9 Korok seeds if i remember well, i know well i didn't get all of them, but i beat the rock boss! Wow what a fight! I have to say that the survival aspect is really important and you have to swap/find new weapons constantly, and let's not talk about materials gathering and cooking. Died only 3 times: 1 because i fall from top of Temple of Time (wrong button pressed), 2 times because of too much enemies at same time (didn't see them). Killed some moblins outside the Plateau and i found them a little bit difficult to slay but my gear is not that good. After 4 Shrines i got Stamina, not the Hearth because the game is really climbing based for exploration. Next time i'll pick the Hearth. And wow, with the glider exploration is so much faster!
Now i can't wait to discover more. But the world is really huge! It will take ages to see all of it!!! Aonuma-san did really a fantastic job. I can say that this game will be hands down the best one i'll ever played, and from my standpoint it deserves to be called the GOAT. I'm really so happy about it!
@Tsurii I've entered an old shrine to see if they respawn, and they don't.. Knowing Nintendo, there's probably a way to get them, even though it may be very obscure or late game stuff. We'll see, but they usually think of stuff like this. Like how there are no missable quests for example (I assume there aren't at least..).
I wish the music was more memorable like in skyward sword, but the major cities have amazing themes. I just wish they were more prevalent. I went to hyrule castle yesterday for the heck of it. Before getting my butt handed to me I noticed it has very amazing music.
Also I really enjoy how everything you need for all the dungeons and shrines is already in your possession, so if you get stuck it's because you can't figure it out rather than maybe not having the right tools for the job.
Like this first dungeon. Still stuck. Can't figure out how to get the wheel to move. But I refuse to look up the answer
I accidentally just cheated... Wonder if this was intentional. Used the statis rune on a gate locked by 5 terminals. Didn't find all 5 but managed to get through thanks to the rune
Double edit. Nevermind. Maybe that was intentional...
Yes, I felt the same about the music,. (wish it had more) That being said though, was pleasantly surpirsed about the game itself. (I was actually quite worried due to the food cooking mechanism that they'd make this game way too much like monster hunter) but it did actually still feel like a proper zelda game. (and am already well and truly addicted). I actually got sop frustrated waiting for my switch version to come that even though I had already ordered both the switch and wii u versions on disk, the impatient freak in me bought the digital download of the WiiU version on the weekend anyway just so that I could play it before the physical games and my switch console got here. However, now that both disk versions plus the console have turned up, I've now got the dilema of do I carry on playing it on the WiiU due to all the progress I've made, or do I just abandon it and start again from scratch on the switch just so that I can finally test out the new console I've been dying to play all this time!??
Hmmm... decisions, decisions...
(I'm honestly so torn, I it's driving me nuts!)
Help a brutha out someone! What would you do in my shoes?
