The Game Informer feature story suggests to me that Aonuma wants the player to run up to the Calamity Ganon fight early and die to add to the build up of facing him later.
I did it on my son's character because he wanted me to go straight to the castle for him. Beat the first two forms of Ganon, then ran out of weapons and arrows, so I had to die, and then died a lot again trying to escape from the castle.
To those who have successfully navigated the Lost Woods,
what is the trick to finding your way through to the Korok Village(?) where the Master Sword lies? Is it tied to torch flames/embers somehow? I noticed I get to a point where the trails of torches stop where there's two, but I keep ending up getting sent back to them no matter what route I try.
I'm not sure how long I've been playing, but so far I've only completed one dungeon and done a bunch of shrines. I'm loving everything except the weapon degradation/breaking.
I have the yiga clan after me 24/7 when I'm out exploring now. That's really, really annoying. They just keep appearing and attacking. They follow if I run away too. It's killing my relaxing exploration big time.

see which way the wind blows your torch and which directions the embers are going. Basically run and stop every once in a while. From that "checkpoint", start going left. Its not much further.

Arrow them to the face. They used to body me before but I make sure to keep my distance from them. Theyre slow and easy, just try not to get hit. If they throw that underground bomb at you, just glide away towards their back and attack.
Final boss was coolies. Spider Ganon was a tough lil' fucker (I couldn't figure out whether or not the Guardian Eye in the second phase could take damage or not), but I'm surprised it took me two tries. Learning how to dodge paid off.
Then fucking Beast Ganon shows up and then my horse shows up and I'm like "Shea, how did you get here-- oh shit, we need to book it!" After all of that I hadn't expected a third phase for some reason, and the scale of Beast Form was quite glorious. However, it was over too soon. I wish it had required more damage, or perhaps even some SotC-esque climbing. We had already been doing something similar with the Divine Beasts, so it would've been a nice thematic bookend to that plot point.
Was hoping and praying that after 100 years Zelda wouldn't be a spirit. I was bracing myself for the worst, but then she shows up just fine and so I went yay! Really glad she and Link can pick back up, and that she can chase after being a NERD. Seriously my favorite moments of her are when she's dealing with Sheikah tech or Hyrule's flora and fauna.
It's hard to kind of get my brain around the ultimate conclusion of playing this game. I'm still in kind of an adrenaline high. But just as well, I think it was unforgettable, and I'm excited for the next one.

They don't kill me since I have pretty decent gear but it's really hurting my fun having to enter into combat every few minutes. I just want to go around exploring and only engage in combat when I feel like it.
This thread is flying fast and I love it. Lol can you imagine how fast the Pokemon mainline OT for Switch is gonna go? Lol man its gonna be a blur of posts.

was there a correct way to beat the shrine that I missed? I just used a combo of stasis and bombs to awkward my way through. I'm not even sure what stop the boulders from falling.

Go slow and then if you see the fog coming go the other way quickly or it'll overtake you and reset. Follow the embers and wind. It isn't too far from the two torches.
I'm at 11 hours, with no dungeons beaten. I keep getting distracted.

sounds about like what i did. stasis bombed it off, waited for it to pinball around.. regular bombed it off the right angle and then stasis bashed it right before it fell off. super satisfying shrine IMO.
I beat a moderate combat test shrine before reaching Hateno village. There's a major combat test not too far from that either. It's definitely possible.

Thanks, everyone! I'll follow your tips and make my way to the sword of evil's bane.
I've been hearing that you have to have so many heart containers to be able to pull the sword from its resting place, but I guess there is a shrine in the area too, so that'll give me a nice fast travel to return when I'm ready.

Without giving any spoilers, can anyone tell me how the game progresses if it's so open once you leave the plateau?
If you can go anywhere in the world from the beginning, how do they handle progression of the main quest line? Or is there no story outside of, "Kill the final boss."?

Is there any better way to do the rock freezing/stabbing puzzles? I seem to always get the wrong angles, especially on korok puzzles its a big pain for me.

I fought and killed one, though I can't remember where exactly I came across it other than it was in a wooded area. Took 20 or so arrows to take it down.
