Watching some of the memories, and can't get over that the Old Man sounds like Trey Parker doing a purposefully bad authoritative British accent like he sometimes does on South Park.

Diamond circlet makes that armor x100 better looking, you still retain the guardian resistance but obviously loose the set bonus :/

There really isn't much story to miss.
As for gerudo town it's honestly the only area that feels complete. Most fleshed out town and side quests, themed shrines that tie into the beast, most substantial lead-in to the beast, the beast actually had a second layer to its puzzle design, and an actul payoff for for doing everything in the town.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
He's actually a named VA with some experience...was in Trails of Cold Steel, and is gonna be in Persona 5.
I actually left that area whrn I could not find it last week. Yesterday I stayied exploring a different mountain and ended up finding the entrance to that one shirine in the end somehow.
if you tap on your icon on your switch home menu you can see it, after having played it for 10(i think) days that is
Same goes for Urbosa and Riju's VA. She does work for Funimation.
Urbosa and Revali are easily the best when it comes to VA. Hell, they're two of the best characters in the game outright.
Set bonus is the only reason to wear it
Considering that the game is fairly easy I'd say looking cool is a top priority.

so there are 900 seeds around the world. i seriously doubt i am gonna be able to find them all. i have 9 so far. do i need all 900?
no, over half of them are useless since you can only upgrade so many slots until the game don't let you anymore. I wouldn't bother actively hunting for them, not really needed IMO
I finished the game with about 100 seeds.
You learn to spot the places you can find them, then just keep an eye out, and you'll likely find a lot. I'd absolutely not go for all of them. I got 130-140 by the time I beat the game.

that's good to hear. was dreading the thought of collecting them all. thanks
Holy shit, I found it after searching from the other side. That answers my actual goal of exploring Hedra in the first place, actually. Inside was....amazing. Getting goosebumps.
Dammit game, I've played over 100 hours. You should be over!
No, just like 400-ish. And even then, once you get to a certain point the upgrades you get from them are diminishing returns.
after playing it for 10 days? thats...a weird system. Fucking nintendo man.
Got the full Barbarian set. Can't say no to attack power.
It takes a lot of guts to wear that.
Ill see myself out.

What's the criteria for a Blood Moon?
I need one to trigger for a Shrine Quest so I slept for a month (31 separate times) and had to travel back each time and wait for midnight with no Blood Moons.
I hate randomised bullshit like this.
Are they truly random or only come after killing a certain amount of enemies or after certain weather conditions or you need to be at a certain level of health or what...?
Frustrating.

I was exploring the southern part of the map which has the jungle/rain forest terrain when I suddenly saw a
which scared the shit out of me.
This game man.
giant electric dragon firing balls of lightning flying towards me
This game man.
Just warp to the nearest fast travel point when you notice it come up. Much less tedious that way.
Yeah I love that region (save for the frame rate issues in the dense forest, handheld mode to the rescue). A real nice change of pace especially after exploring the snowy mountains.
im using that knight armor, so I guess im playing Dark Souls now
(thats a joke / compliment, dont get triggered)
its noisy as shit which is another in a endless line of small details I really apreciate. I dont do much stealthing anyway.

You have to go to his cabin. It will be there. (I got it after 80 hours of game, lol)
Medal?
Killing
minibosses and lynels
Would that screenshot be considered a spoiler? I can see it on mobile and it gives a relatively clear hint to where a certain character can be found.
Meh not really. If you don't wanna look at screens and read details about armor or see views of areas then I wouldn't go into an OT.
I was on 100% blackout (disabled images on gaf even) and if I ever read a detail on here I didn't wanna see (which happened a couple times) that was my fault for coming into the thread.

I keep seeing people mention medals related to killing minibosses. But I don't know what they're referring to. Whatever it is seems to be extremely under-documented and not widely known.
From what I've gathered, you get medals for killing all the minibosses of a particular type. I don't know what they do. Maybe nothing?
just wanted to share a little slice of adventuring ive had just now, about... I dunno, 10 hours in? Something like that, stupid Nintendo's weird ass time recording system wont tell me yet.
So im half main lining the game / half exploring and getting sidetracked. Like I'll try to main line, but then I go "ooh whats that over there" and off I go.
Anyway, story wise I need to
Im not one for hyperbole, so I wont get into any "goat" talk. Hell, im not even sure the game will be my GOTY, as 2 other big games this year already failed to knock Hollow Knight of that spot for me. Ill give it this tho.
The game is special. It really is something you need to experience for yourself, its very hard to explain it, on paper it sounds like any other videogame tbh. Its the first time I feel the "you can go anyware" tagline is true. Will that hold up once the feeling of "oooh whats that?" is gone? Probably not. But until that happens, man this is good.

get my first memory to progress. That plaza overlooking hyrule castle seemed like it would be back in the grand plateu, so I ported to a nearby shrine to see if I could find it. I didnt really see anything that looked like it at first glance tho, but then I saw a tower that seemed close enough, so I ported to a shrine enar it. Its the shrine that is up in a snowy area and overlooks the desert area. I could see the tower from there, but then I looked down, and saw a new shrine. Obviously I had to go down to it. After doing it, I got back to try to reach that tower so I did some climbing, I did some camps, I did some korok seeds, and as I walk to a cliff, still not at the tower, I look back to where I came from and it was a huge trek, it was kinda crazy to think I did all of that in like an hour, completely in control of where I was going, how I was getting to where I was going. Am I going the right way? I dunno. I dont care.

I finally revealed my very last tower in the game. Kind of a bittersweet moment since I don't want the game to end. At least I was delighted to have met with
at the top.

Kilton gives you a medal if you kill all 40 Hinox, another one for all 40 Talus, and another one for all 4 sand fish.
i dunno, im 100 hours in and beat the main quest 10 hours ago. i still finding myself addicted to exploring new areas. makes no sense because there's no loot worth finding anymore. its exploring for the sake of it and i can't stop playing.

I have 107 shrines. All dungeons. The sword... I don't want to finish the game yet
Ive avoided using the run button the last few hours to prolong the game. Helped take in the sights as well. I dont want it to end either

How do you see how many shrines you have done?
Serious question: What did you do with all that time?^^

Permabanned.
the loading screen tells you i think
The shrine count on the loading screen shows how many you have finished.
While that section of the game does have some of the soundtrack's better pieces, like the Molduga and Kohga boss theme and the music for the Naboris chase, the main Gerudo theme is underwhelming. It's definitely not comparable to Gerudo Valley; and while it's not as much of a gulf when compared to the Pirate Fortress or Gerudo Desert music, it's a little disappointing that their town theme is one of the game's weaker efforts, when considering that it's their first major appearance since OoT and the first time they've been fleshed out to this extent.

I think so...I'm a little annoyed that I saw it since I had no idea it existed and would have been a pleasant surprise if I found it on my own and saw it for the first time. Same with the fairy. I say it belongs in the screenshot thread.
Oh well...this seems to be one of the more unsafe OTs with all the talk about last bosses and stuff.
