Except you can take a regular weapon and leave it in water to make it a rusty weapon. This resets the weapon degredation as part of the transformation. So being able to make that now repaired rusty weapon unrusty lets you repair any metal weapon in the game.

Son of a bitch...
You can also use Cryonis when there's a puddle under them, which is often.
I still find it easiest to use a torch and hold Y. Also, fire weapons can ignite fires (ex. campfires) with the fire clouds they generate, without actually touching them, meaning no durability loss.
That's awesome, I have to try that.
Wait, like, skeletal lizalfos arms? They come back at you? That's neat!
Holy crap.
If you think any of these are "wonky" or "unintentional", you're doing the game's devs a huge disservice. Especially since:
Nice! Another one to try.
Oh, so you need to kneel...
Oh wow, that's going to be useful!
ice arrows plus regular arrow (to the frozen body) works really well. I think just that kills them. no more lightning storms from the sky from them.
And <== to change arrow type with bow in hand.

Though I haven't tried wolves, you pull out a piece of meat and put it in front of them and they glow pink for a moment like when you soothe a horse. Then they like you enough to follow you and even point things out to you (or so the loading tips menu says. I've never had a dog point things out to me. Just follow me)
Edit: YOU COULD USE STASIS ON THE YIGA CLAN SECTION?! ARGH. I wish I had thought of that. That section was so frustrating for me. I should've used stasis

Well, I'm going to try this ASAP.
If true, it sounds more like a bug than an intended feature -- I wonder if it keeps any related affixes, like Attack Up or Durability Up.
First time I saw those mini Talus there were Lizalfos nearby and they grabbed the Talus and threw them at me lol.

I can't believe I never thought to try this. Well, now I have. I put on the Sheikah suit and became a literal Stealth Bomber.
This also goes way farther if you have more total hearts.

That and all of the Yiga guards die in one hit if it's a stealthstrike. The segment is painfully easy with a high level stealth potion or the Sheikah armor.
You can make a campfire instantly on Death Mountain by just dropping wood.
You can stack armor effects and cooking effects past three stages. I used a haste elixir at night while using upgraded Sheikah armor (with the night speed bonus) and I was running so fast the animation looked like a cartoon.
You can tell when the Lord of the Mountain is at Mount Satori if you see a glow at night (there are tons of Blupees there as well, and the mountain is always filled with crows or goats for meat).
If you open a chest other than from the front without pants on, then when Link kicks it he grabs his foot and winces. The same happens if you're crouched down and open it, even if you have something on (he punches it).
Being in bushes or tall grass actually increases your stealth.
If you drop or throw your weapon (like a boomerang) and have lost it, then use the Sheikah Sensor+ to find it. You could also do the same if there's arrows everywhere. In case you missed it also when you got the Sheikah Sensor+, you can buy Compendium entries (it's random from selected categories, and each one costs 100 rupees) from Symin at the Hateno lab. You can also take photos of treasure chests and the different kinds of ore deposits to track them.
You can burn the leg guards off of Hinoxes to attack their legs more easily.
Frozen enemies will take increased damage.
You can destroy Guardian's legs to immobilize them or destroy the flying one's rotors to send them into the ground.
There are five types of monster disguises in the game; four are from Kilton (the Bokoblin, Moblin, Lizalfos, and Lynel masks, though Lynels will only be fooled temporarily) and the other is from the secret club in Gerudo Town, which at night will glow in the dark and act as a lure for more Stal enemies to spawn, and if you have all three it will disguise you from them. It also increases your bone weapon damage.
Traveling merchants sell better stuff on rainy days.
What?! I didn't know that you can kill the guards. I just avoided them or threw bananas. No wonder the last section took me few tries... :|

Heh, I thought the same thing when I forced my way into Hyrule Castle after leaving the plateau. I was getting ruined constantly by the mini boss and figured why not see what those arrows I had found in the castle did.
I did not see that coming AT ALL! lmao
lmao. That's gold

I'm proud that I found a lot of these on my own but I've also learned some great stuff from this thread too. This game is absolutely incredible. One of my all time favorites. Totally unexpected too.

I didn't even use any stealth potion or gear in the Yiga section.
First guard, wait till he passed by, glided to the rock middle. Climbed up. Let him walk around. Glided to the left of the door guard, stasis'd him, walked in.
Take ladder to banana room just to take the bananas for myself. Go back to the opening on the balcony, glide to boxes in front of door guard, stasis him, then run inside.
Only took me two tries cause of accidentally climbing things i didn't want to climb and didn't beat my stasis timer.
Hell even going into the Yiga area I was on the top of the cliffs the whole time. Whole segment was dirt easy

The painter dude you (probably) first meet at Kakariko village will also be at the stable nearest to those locations, and point you towards them. Though I don't think there's one for the hyrule castle location.
You can do that by holding the flame sword too
If there's an ice block near you you can melt it by literally just standing next to it if you have any flame weapon equipped.
I remember trying this because I saw it in the trailer. The timing isn't very hard so it actually makes them very easy to beat. Same with the major test of strength enemies
Are you shitting me
whoa.
WHOA.
As metal weapons conduct electricity, you can actually circumvent certain shrine / dungeon puzzles by simply bridging the current with a weapon. - don't forget to magnetize the weapon and not carry it yourself, though.
There's a fairy that can bring it back to life
Yeah, kills octorocks instantly
I'm surprised people are making a big deal out of the shield parry. They show it being done in the trailer.

I froze enemy horses last night it froze in the air mid jump and I could push it around in the air for a while then it fell to the ground when the physics kicked in

Campfire tricks:
Start a campfire to make the wind go up. User your glider to shoot in the sky. Good for supprise attacks.
When it rains and you dont want to wait find a dry spot. Start a campfire and just choose wait to skip the rain.

I did the yiga section by luring them all with bananas. Very mgs-esque that section

You can also sneak up to them from behind and 1 hit kill them.
Collected a bunch of this kind of cool stuff for an article this week. Some of my faves:

Don't want to read this thread for now but I can't tell how much I agree with thread's title.
So many "omg", "wtf", "this is so cool" moments in this game !

- When you see a Korok circle of stones where one is missing walk to the center of the circle, then start walking towards the gap in the circle where the rock is missing. You´ll always find the rock a few steps ahead.
- You can feed bombs to Octorocks, then detonate them to easily kill them.
- The stealth attack will OHKO almost all enemies in the game (haven´t found any who survived) WITH ANY WEAPON. I killed a bunch of Yiga Blademasters this way using a not lit torch.
- If you shoot an arrow to a Lynel´s eye you will stun it. Run to his back and press A to mount it, then spam Y to get some free attacks.
- All mountable animals (including Lynels) can be easily mounted if you glide on top of them.
- Feed 3 times any dog at a stable to make it guide you to a buried chest. Can´t say it works with all dogs, but so far it´s worked with every dog I´ve tried.
- Hinox will start covering their eye when you shoot it twice. try jumping and gliding from anywhere (even a small rock, box, or whatever) and shoot mid-air to trigger slow motion, this will allow you to hit it in the eye before it has time to defend itself.
- All Shrines have at least 1 secret treasure chest. Once you beat a Shrine an icon next to it´s name will indicate if it has any chests left. Note that if you open a chest but don´t take it´s content (because you have a full inventory) the chest will not register as opened, the map will show it accordingly and you can go back and get the contents later. Edit: As Kain-Nosgoth pointed out below it´s actually the opposite: The Shrine will only show the chest icon when you find and get the contents of all chests inside the Shrine.

it's actually the opposite! You will get a chest icon next to the shrine's name only when you found all chest in it!

Wait, people didn't know this? It's literally on the screen as a button prompt.
Oops yeah my bad, going to edit it now, thanks!
OMG this will be incredibly helpful!

Did the same, I was so happy... until I sprinted.
Subbing for future reference later. Funnily enough, I didn't know that guardian shields could reflect their beams until I had already wasted all my best weapons on fighting them, despite the fact that I had two guardian shields in my inventory.
If it hasn't been mentioned already, setting stuff on fire and then throwing food into the fire cooks it.

I am sure most of you know this already but you use the Korok leaf on the raft Boat:

Might seem obvious but a lot of people don't know. Also you can get more Korok leafs by cutting trees.

Yeah and they explain it to you too with a window pop up the first time you get a bow. /Facepalm
You can also just stasis him and shoot his eye.
Another post in the thread mentioned flocks being above shrines in the open but I haven't actually confirmed that. Really cool if true though.

You go faster if you press rhythmically. But don't press so quickly that you enter the combo. Every stroke should be the same.
