You talking about Link's classic green tunic from the old games? If so, I've got some bad news for you.

Not so spoiler spoilers on where to get them:

Spoiler

they are Amiibo exclusive

Not necessarily

Spoiler

You get the Tunic of the Wild for completing all the shrines, which is the canon green tunic for this game

 

[tenderbrew]

Yup, 900 Korok Seeds will do that

I am actually kind of stunned that Korok seeds count towards it.

Oh damn, had no idea!! That is AWESOME.

 

[graffix13]

I am sure this has been asked already but is it possible to just buy the Wii U base console (without the Gamepad), buy a Pro Controller and play this? Looking at the cheapest way possible to play this game.

 

[Akuun]

I got my first tablet tilt puzzle shrine yesterday. It sucked.

It's funny how I found

Spoiler

I could just flip the tablet over and bypass the whole damn puzzle using the underside of the arena, though

.

 

[Firemind]

oh man I loved Vah Medoh, much more than Vah Ruta

I keep thinking "Man this next puzzle is going to be awesome, right?" but it never came. Like seriously two of the panels are reached just by gliding. Great atmosphere though. The way you can see the landmarks moving around you. I don't know how they did it. And the Rito warrior > Zora lame ass prince.

No. You need the gamepad to operate the OS.

 

[J3ffro]

I stood on the top one (the horizontal one) then used the magnet to set the chest as high as it would go on the other side of the top see saw, then jumped right as it landed. Took me a few tries to do correctly.

That sounds like fun. I may have to spend an hour this weekend trying that out.

The physics in this game lend themselves to just messing with shit, and hoping it works. I've yet to have that GRRRRR moment where I just give up and move onto something else.

It's not possible to even operate the Wii U with the Gamepad. Eventually you'll hit a menu that requires it.

Also not really sure who'd sell you one without a Gamepad.

Is it even possible to buy a Wii U without the gamepad?

 

[dock]

So, there is this shrine on twin mountains with all the balls in the holes and a sign saying "the solution to this shrine is in another shrine". Haven't found that one yet. Anyone got a tip?

I used the Switch's screenshot feature to help me solve these two.

 

[Thud]

I am actually kind of stunned that Korok seeds count towards it.

Man, if the Korok would fight Ganon has no chance.

 

[Pastry]

Spoiler

Have you finished all the sidequests in the village?

So that's how you get it?

I guess I'm missing one somewhere in Kakariko

Some side quests require the gamepad so if you want to play unhindered you will need it. Can't comment on main quest as I haven't finished it.

 

[DecoReturns]

I feel like a real winner when I complete a shrine the way it wasn't intended.

A shrine wanted you to use the wind to guide a ball to the slot, but I just got to a high point and used stasis to knock the ball in.

Ebay

 

[tenderbrew]

There is no way I'm going for 900 Korok seeds.

GG Nintendo.

Amazing game but no thanks... unless you sweeten the pot a little with a reward???

This sounds familiar lol. Is it a shrine in Hebra?

 

[Stalwart]

Ebay

Well no, you still need a gamepad for certain functions.

I completely beat this the entirely wrong way as well, but my way was different.

Spoiler

I used the block by the ramp as a step to throw the ball into the hole (while blocking the wind with the metal block), and while it was circling the hole, I quickly made my way over the elevator.

Only today did I realize that wasn't at all how it was "meant" to be done. You were supposed to put the metal box on the extra step block and just let the wind guide it lol

There is no way I'm going for 900 Korok seeds.

GG Nintendo.

I think they did it this way so you could skip literally half of them and still fill your inventory. After the 400ish mark, they don't even unlock any new slots.

 

[tenderbrew]

Man I got a real hankering for this Cave of Trials and Hard Mode ... like right now.

Summer, grrrrrr.

 

[Weebos]

Tons and tons of inventory slots?

Tell me about it. I can't wait for the DLC to drop but it's so far away.

 

[h0tp0ck3t]

Is it possible to target

Spoiler

drone guardians?

I have the laser deflection timing down pat, but I can't seem to lock onto these things. Very frustrating when I'm up against one on the ground and another one or two in the air.

If you use

Spoiler

Guardian Arrows

one shot to the eye will kill it

 

[Pastry]

Is there any way to re-sort your gear in the inventory menu? I got the climbing pieces spread out over time so they're not grouped together in the menu.

 

[Firemind]

Tons and tons of inventory slots?

It maxes out in 400 or so I believe.

 

[Darkman M]

Love the music in Rito.

 

[Valus]

It caps out at 441 seeds from what I heard.

Press Y.

I think it's Y

Hitting it once sorts by sets, hitting it twice sorts by type (head, shirt, pants). Or the other way around. I don't remember.

 

[Fallout Phoenix]

So how do you reach

Spoiler

the island in the bottom right?

 

[Hazzuh]

I wonder if you get something special for getting every Korok seed, does anyone know if you do?

 

[Weebos]

That's a shame if true. Weird that they would put more than double what you need in the game.

 

[Timeaisis]

Wait how do you check completion %?

 

[Stalwart]

I highly doubt anyone has gotten 900 yet. Maybe the guide says something about it

 

[blame space]

OK so I'm trying to collect

electrified

arrows so i can do the dungeon. but this fucking

Minotaur

destroys me on sight. i have six heart containers and I've tried a few different strategies.. he one-shots me instantly.

Do you have to fight him head on to get the arrows?

 

[tenderbrew]

Haha - according to the parental app I've put about 90 hours in and I have 37 seeds.

I'd literally be poring over a map to get anywhere near 400.

I guess it's smart to have a bunch knowing most people will only get a fraction of that, but then why include in completion %?

I don't mean to sound like I'm talking down, but you're using the sneak function in the game, yes? (Click left stick)

If so, then just try to stay on the opposite side of the area from him, and walk slowly to make less sound.

Sneak around the area, there are lightning arrows littered everywhere.
Just make sure to keep your distance from him.

If you've beaten the game it's in the lower left of the map screen.

I've heard that the reward is

Spoiler

an item that lets you summon Hestu for a dance whenever you want.

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

I am actually kind of stunned that Korok seeds count towards it.

900?!!!!!!!

Here I thought it would be around 100 or so.

 

[Rixxan]

Wish I had turned on the parental app before starting - would love to know my play time

Consider the pot sweetened!

 

[Jailer of Hope]

That's a shame if true. Weird that they would put more than double what you need in the game.

It's a relief for me that I only need the ones I find naturally through exploration.

 

[J3ffro]

I've only experienced a couple blood moons in 30 hours (color me lucky) and each time was right before I ducked into a shrine, so I'm not well versed on their nature.

Does a blood moon bring back all enemies that you've killed throughout the world, or just in the zone that you are in, or just in your direct vicinity/anywhere you go while the blood moon is up?

The music change, and mood shift is unnerving for sure.
