Fireproof (icon with the little flame) is for Death Mountain; Heatproof (icon with the sun and a down arrow) is for the desert.

Wow, nice! Any news on the DLC?

Ok that explains it.
Just grabbed the game and I'm loving it so far. I don't know if it's the most amazing thing since sliced bread but I know I'm having a blast.
I had a question about the area I'm at now. I just got to the Zora area and had a few story points trigger and I was wondering if I should go climb the tower to reveal the rest of the area. It seems at this point in the story
I had a question about the area I'm at now. I just got to the Zora area and had a few story points trigger and I was wondering if I should go climb the tower to reveal the rest of the area. It seems at this point in the story
it's always raining which is making it feel a bit difficult to get to the tower. I haven't checked all angles of approach yet but at least from where I'm standing it feels like it would be less hassle to stop the rain (assuming you can do that) and then reveal the rest of the area. Anyone have insight?
I really cant recall if I got the tower before or after the story mission. But
finishing the story mission will stop the constant rain.

This game is a masterpiece.
I concur, sir. It's not without its flaws, some pretty annoying, but it's still the best/favorite game I have played. No other game has captured me like this in generations.
Edit: I said I was going to Death Mountain to tackle the main quest a few hours ago, well as has been the case almost every time I've played this game, I got distracted by the seemingly endless things to discover and was sidetracked for hours with no end in near sight. No wonder I've played 120 hours so far and still haven't visited 3 of the 4 main cities in the game, nor have I uncovered the whole map yet. <3

The motion controlled shrines where you have to rotate stuff around are the absolute worst. I don't know what they were thinking including this stuff, it's way too difficult to do in handheld mode. I wish they would patch in right stick controls for it or something.

Detaching the joycons should help.

I finally hit the first time in the game where I tried to do something, and it didn't work. After hours of every single random idea actually working, I finally found one that didn't.
I hate octoroks, so I was hoping you could cryo under them to pull them from the water and kill them easily. No dice.

I've taken over 3500 screenshots so far... What do I win?
Agreed. It's easily my favorite game this gen and definitely one of my all time favorites.
Is there a way to tell how long you've played the game? I have it on Wii U, btw.

Check your Daily Log from the Wii U main menu.
Ah, nice. I didn't know Wii U had this. I bought it recently for Zelda and other games.
I played Zelda for 61 hours so far. 45 hours in March, and only 16 hours in April, but that's because I took like a 3 week break from gaming in general.

Fire proof and heat resist are two different things. Heat resist for the desert. Fire proof for the volcano.

Kinda dumb if you ask me
At least both should be needed in Death Mountain, or have Fireproof work both ways. Can't have fire without heat, so the way the game separates the two is illogical.
Does fireproof effect also prevent your wooden weapons from burning up?

Nope. It just stops you from burning.

How can you tell how many you have collected (assuming you've been spending them as they come along)?

Loading screen will show you overall totals for stuff like shrines and koroks.
I picked up a Switch with BotW and Mario Kart last Friday.
Opening of the game (plateau) I had already seen on a stream. Still loved soaking in the environment.
Started along the Eastern Route, got my ass handed to me a couple of times, even by the basic enemies (is there anyway to switch enemies once in targetting mode while holding zlp?).
Got the basic functions up on the sheikah sleeve. Then got to the point where I was told:
"Go and find the locations on those pictures."
Kinda wandered around and got my ass handed to me by higher level enemies or groups of lower level ones. Found some combat shrines that were also too difficult.
Almost got to the point where I was like fuck this shit I'm gonna leave this game alone for a bit.
Then last night I teleported to one of the shrines I finished earlier and decided to go North East (had to evade some guardians on the way) and managed to get to a tower that's on top of a hill/mountain with a lot of enemies. Made my way up (took me an hour, fighting the enemies, finding items and taking pics) and once up there I found a fish dude standing there telling me to go meet prince Sorin.
Have been going towards the Zora area ever since and I'm loving it!
Got some lightning arrows that I used to fuck up groups of those lizalfos and I'm slowly making my way towards Zora.
I'm totally hooked on this now. The atmosphere and all the little gameplay elements make it just so immersive. It's funny how the world seems "empty" at first glance (especially seeing how freaking huge the map is) but it's the opposite. It's alive and feels natural to most other open world games and the possibilities are endless!
Loving it!

This puzzle with the statues in the desert is probably my favorite so far. I enjoyed getting to and uncovering many of the shrines in the Gerudo region. I have one question:
the shrine that is blocked by a Gerudo woman, does she want a drink I have to figure out how to create, or is it an item I buy once I am inside the city?

Those are post-game items you get for killing every instance of one of the boss type enemies.
LOL I arrived at an area, heard kass's accordian playing decided to go to where he is. I got there I unintinoally already solved his shrine quest without even speaking to him.
Anyway two more shrines left for me, but one of the last one that involves the moon..yeah I can't get the moon to trigger fuuuuck

before you lose all your hair,
just play the game as usual and if you see the signs of a blood moon, load a previous save (5min before you notice the signs is more than enough), teleport to the shrine nearst to the equest a run to it.
Kill some world bosses, like 2 or 3, then get to the shrine before the next full moon. That should trigger it, the game doesn't like too many world bosses being dead at once.
Going slow is the answer, make sure your horse has space on the other side to land, only use boost for closing gaps for jumps. On the jump next to the mountain, make sure you're turned in towards the road, the tip of the mountain is stopping the horse, who needs complete clearance or they won't jump.

The horse controls are fine. Approach jumps from a distance to line them up properly, if this means veering away from the jump to give yourself room to approach then do it. Don't try to adjust your angle right before you jump, that will cause the horse to balk. Even if you are at a bit of an angle the horse will still jump so long as you aren't trying to do a last second adjustment. Also, don't rush the jump. Gallop if you must to close distance to a gate, but don't try to speed up right before the jump, just canter and you'll be fine.
The one annoying jump is the fence next to the cliff because a tiny piece of the cliff juts out and intrudes on where the horse would land. You need to back off and give yourself enough room to approach this that allows you to angle away from the cliff so you have a clear landing area. I would like to see them patch this one jump, because it is a pain in the butt. Either smooth the cliff or move the fence away from it a foot.
You could try running the course backwards. This will make the course a little bit harder over all but it eliminates the cliff problem spot.
Man......
I don't want to kill all of the Lionels ;_;
Or the Talus...or the Hinox
Moldugas I've done already
I need to know what that Horse Birdle with the Feather is gotten from
This game just keeps going...
Do yourself a favor and do the feather first, you'll need to know how to handle your horse for the next one.

Lynels are the most fun to fight. I can handle them relatively easily now.
Hinox are a cakewalk.
Talus can be annoying due to the small target.
I forgot (or haven't seen) what Moldugas are.
There's no Lynel medal.
It's only about the 3 types of world bosses that have the health bar on top of the screen - Stone Talus (40), Hinox (40), Moldugas (4)
When killing those beasts, you realize how useful Urbosa's fury actually is. those 3 charges are basically an insta-kill of a Hinox / Molduga - even a Stone Talus.
I just don't want to find them all, honestly. I spent over 175 hours doing everything, and now I find out there's even more stuff to do.
Next people will tell me there's a Special Prize for getting a hole in one on the golf mini-game.
It seems to be trigged by putting the game in Sleep mode, instead of closing it after a session.
Quoting for new page, thanks

Not sure if it's the same one you're looking for, but there is one that can only be seen from a high vantage point on the mountain looking back down. It's like "underground" and can be seen from cracks/gaps in the ice.
I had a similar hard time finding a shrine in Faron region I think. Sensor kept beeping and I tried hard to find it but couldn't. Still need to go back there for it.
thanks... you are not talking about the one surrounded by ice water right?
I will take a look; my sensor starts beeping once I moved east from the very
top left
