Lol. I was tempted but when I was in Kakariko I put an apple in to get the korok seeds and then I took the apples. Every now and then when I go back to that town I'll take the apples again

The clue was 17 of 24. What has 24 of something?
17th hour of the day is equivalent to 5 o'clock. The chest was located at the same spot a 5 would be on the clock if you look at the map with the pillar Kass was on as the center of the clock.

Now this is some next-level tactical banana placement.
Glad I was able to help a little.
I still don't know what to do with those circular rock formation thingies in the water. I assume you have to throw a rock on a raft and cart it over there, to which I say; screw that. I only care about koroks I come across incidentally.
Also someone mentioned a puzzle regarding three trees, I can confidently say I have never completed one of those. lol
Usually the small circle rock formations in the water have a ledge nearby with rocks on it. Just get up there and toss a rock in the circle.
Are the three trees the ones south of Kakariko Village? There are 3 trees there perfectly lined up between 2 hills. I chopped them down but nothing happened.

Oh yeah I was only thinking about that special room. I didn't even know gerudo lady could make it. I guess that may be only because there's no permanently losable armor in the game: if you accidentally sell the one you find you have to be able to get it back somehow.

Is there any way to survive Death Mountain without wearing armor? I'm doing a naked run and I have some fireproof elixirs but they are not powerful enough for certain areas.
Elixirs + Iceweapon ? Try that.
You should make the pattern same on all three.

That's what I'm doing but I'm still burning up whenever I approach the lava lake. Might have to skip this dungeon.
There was clearly a suction effect around the boss. That's why Daruk tells you to look at how he's charging.
Also, as with everything in this game there are multiple ways of solving things:
you can also parry the fireball back at the boss.
Rocks:
Throw another rock into the center.
Trees:
Look at the fruits on the trees, 2 should be the same and 1 is different, make odd one out match.
It should be possible to make medium-level fireproof elixirs but I'm not sure how. You might need good RNG with critical cooking (try cooking during a bloodmoon for better effects) or maybe using boss parts/monster extract might help. Just a guess.
I don't think you can get the required 2 Flame Resist without armor, so you'll have to skip it.
That or you need a very special recipe for 2 Fireproof Elixir but I am unsure if that is a possible recipe.
Whats up with this orange altar thingie with a round hole in the middle near the kakariko
?
I tried dropping all sorts of things in the whole including a bomb but nothing :/
And I see no round rocks around to pick up either.

Look around the inside of Impa's house.
Part of a quest
Part of a long sidequest chain in Kakariko.
Oh that makes sense but the
shy lady wouldnt give me the ball, I guessed I had to come back later when I did the 4 guardians or something
Also, that moment you realise you
cooked the honey comb the little girl wants for her sidequest

I have six shrines left and I've been roaming around endlessly looking for them. I've done all the Kass ones and pretty sure I've done all the Shrine Quests in general so now it's just a matter of stumbling upon them. And I refuse to use the Shiekah tracker.
Any other game I would have just given up and looked up the locations by now but this is one game where I'm still enjoying just aimlessly wandering over 110 hours into it. Plus, I'm making bank with Korok seeds in the process.
But yeah, I'm thoroughly convinced these last few shrines don't actually exist.

Nope, there are others.
No. Others do it too but they are rare. I got a couple of them before the Lynel bows. I think there is a Rito bow that does it and maybe forest dweller as well

Thanks for the help! I haven't tried blood moon cooking yet so I'll give it a shot and if it doesn't work, I'll just skip Death Mountain.

I take it the lack of response means there isn't a stats page or whatever on Wii U?

I don't have these metrics on the Switch version either, I'm guessing it's a post game thing.

I have the game on Switch and I don't see statistics other than what you see on the loading screen (hearts, shrines, korok seeds, beasts, etc.)I take it the lack of response means there isn't a stats page or whatever on Wii U?

I haven't played my Wii U version yet, but so far I only see those kinds of stats at the loading screen.
Hero's Cache is the 17 of 24 one right? If so it meant 5pm.
The Hebra one, if you look out from that spot, a big snowy area in the distance is shaped like a bird. If you glide towards it, your perspective adjusts to let you see into a small crack in the mountain where a shrine awaits. Unless you have the sensor on, it'd be extremely hard to just stumble upon.

Ow, hmm, I suppose I've been misinformed then. Nevertheless, too bad Nintendo didn't put in a stats screen.
Also, it's a shame that they didn't give activated -but not yet beaten- shrines a different colour. Now activated shrines -regardless of whether or not you've completed them- have the same colour, which can be a pain in the ass later on when you're not sure which ones you've already done and which ones you haven't.
I'd have preferred black, yellow and blue (or any other three random colours). Black for discovered but not yet activated shrines (no fast travel option), yellow for activated but not yet completed shrines, and blue for completed shrines.

+1I need that DLC asap
Somehow I ascended the dueling peaks without knowing I was there. I went up a gradual incline, passed two bokoblins on horseback toward a shrine in the distance. Got near to it and nearly ran over a cliff, into a huge ravine. That's weird, I thought. There were no signs that the mountain I was on had been broken in two. Grabbed two shrines, then hopped over the break and climbed to the one I had intended to reach. Only then did I realize where I was.
Flew down to the tower, warped back up, and floated to several shrines by repeatedly warping to the higher peak and paragliding to red spots in the distance. Accidentally landed in Kakariko village at one point. My first time there40 hours in. Left immediately.
I landed in a jungle area after one of my descents, but didn't open the paraglider in time during an intentional fall. Ended up dying. As I hit the ground, I saw a big stone carving of a dragon's head. That place looks interesting. I will be back soon.

Uncompleted but activated shrines stay partially orange, they only turn fully blue once you complete them. Both on the map and on the overworld.

I spent about 75 hours playing The Witcher 3, and that was my favorite game of all time.
I don't know how many hour's I've been playing Breath of the Wild, but my God it's such a good game. I can't even stop thinking about it. I've done one dungeon and a bunch of shrines but that's what I love, it's so non-linear you basically tackle it at your own pace. The world is so full of INTERESTING things to explore. It's incredible. It really is.
I've been thinking about TW3 a lot lately in this context. The narrative in that game was incredible, and I loved the story, characters, and world, which also felt alive and rich.
Both are without a doubt the two best games I've played.

Man, I'm having some serious relapse right now after I finished the game last week
I need that DLC asap

I know that in the overworld it's half orange half blue when it's activated but not yet beaten, but I could've swear the colour is identical on the map. Maybe it's because of my colour blindness, but that's usually with orange/red/green and not with blue...
There are some corny puns in this game.
Hebra:
Well, bowl me over, kiddums! A snowing like that deserves an ice prize. How's about this snowball-making doohickey?
I was gonna ask if color blind people had issues, the map symbol will be blue with an orange middle if incomplete. We've had a couple folks miss the same shrine (?) because they didn't notice the orange incomplete.
I hate feeling out of the loop. I mean I think it's a great game but seeing everyone say how amazing and fantastic and one of the best games ever makes me wish I could feel the same way. The mediocre dungeons and boss fights and limp finale really soured the complete package for me. I'm having a lot of fun with it but it didn't really scratch the Zelda itch for me personally.

You need a lvl 2 Fireproof Elixir, going to see if I can recreate it; forgot what was the recipe
I didn't play it like a Zelda game, go where they told me or follow the story, and it's genuinely my favorite in the series, with Majora's Mask right behind it.I hate feeling out of the loop.

I'm in the same position. I thought it was in the "best game ever/ Nintendo finally perfected open world design" discussion but around the 100 hour mark the faults really started showing and the limp finish left me really cold. I'm still onboard on the overall direction but they need to refine it with less copy paste rewards and actual worthwhile dungeons/bosses/primary story content. The framerate, controls, and z targeting/camera issues could also use some real polish. Its still a remarkable first draft, unlike oot, but it certainly has room to improve.
Go to the stable at the South base of the mountain.

I'm having the same complaints so far, except for the ending (because I haven't done the final fight yet, but I did went to explore a little of
Hyrule Castle
All four dungeons are painfully easy, not to mention extremely short, and their bosses are uninteresting and boring from a gameplay perspective. I've beaten all four bosses basically in the same manner, and honestly, I can't remember their individual traits. They're almost, if not entirely, identical.
But on the other hand, the huge vast and absolutely beautiful world Nintendo has crafted with everything in it, the immense sense of discovery and sense of awe, is incredible. And it's kinda funny that the numerous shrines have scratched my "Zelda itch" considerably more than any of the four main dungeons. And all of that makes the mediocre main story stuff sting less, and as a result still a very enjoyable experience for me.
I feel like I just got randomly screwed when doing the
korok trial where you have to trail a korok to a shrine. A wolf randomly spawned on right as he said "I'm almost there", made the korok start running and yell for the hero to save them, so I shot the wolf (still crouched and hidden), the korok stopped and just stood there for 30 seconds, then spun around, looked right at me asking if I was a ghost, and Link stood up like an idiot. Luckily it's not too long to redo, just tedious.
And that's fine. I totally understand this being people's favorite in the series. I can't deny it's a great game. I'm just saying I personally am pretty disappointed in the dungeons and boss fights. The dungeons were always my favorite part. The main series Zeldas are only like every five or six years so even if they return to good dungeons with the next game it's still a long ass wait for what I crave.
