Great thread there are so many dam things to do. True openworld feel.
If you use the high jump blessing to get to the labyrinth on top right of the map, you can float directly to the top platforms of the maze. I jumped across the top platform while stealthily avoiding the drones and made it to the center of the maze. I just got super lucky that i chose the correct entry way on the first try
probably already mentioned but you can melt ice cubes/iced objects by equipping a fire weapon and simply standing next to it. You can even have the weapon sheathed and it will still melt the ice.

the bottom left entrance

Gonna spoiler this just in case but they're just responses to your questions/concerns.
- Weapon durability definietly gets better a enemies carrying better weapons and more likely to be have special abilities like Durability Up)
- The Korok guy moves to the woods north of Hyrule Castle. You can go there at any time.
- Gyro puzzles can generally be cheesed.
- Moblin frame rate drop is a problem on Switch too. It's really weird.

I've only been able to do it with Guardian Shields, might be a timing difference for other types of shields though.
Really? I've been doing it with potlids. It's a visual cue, you hit A the second the eye flashes blue.

Wat?

Yay! one that hasn't been mentioned yet that i've found:
If you ever run into a Blupee, find the high ground (without scaring it) and trigger the slow-mo arrow mechanic. With that triggered, shoot the blupee as many times as possible.
If you have a quick shot bow+high stamina you can get a good haul of rupees
This is actually the best way to kill guardians i've found. Every time you destroy a leg you get an extra ancient part
edit: they can tip over but i don't think they die? just makes them much easier to kill when they can't move

The blue flash works for me with Guardian shields, but not the other ones I've tried. I must just be timing it wrong
It also interrupts their movement and attack, you can basically chain stun them. I've never had them instantly die from tipping.

You can do a quick 180 while dashing by hitting A as you change direction.
Shooting a bomb arrow into a flock of Keese is one of the best things I've done in this game. So satisfying.
I think he will give you a hint about this one if you run into him at Lurelin Village.

For people not confident with their shield parry for guardians I'm also sure that Daruk's Protection can do the job for you. While i'm on about champion abilities, Urbosa's fury has a strong stunlock period that even toasts Guardians for a significant amount of time, save their legs for when the stun wears off to keep them helpless.
Also some armour dye jobs add a little more than just colour changes, the barbarian armour war paint patterns change slightly depending on the colour, the skeleton armour takes on a more traditional luchadore look with colour changes.
Building up pace with a raft using the korok leaf can have a humorous side effect if you send the raft crashing into land at high speed, it'll launch Link clear off and deal damage.
Rito village has swell music, we all know that. To add to it there's at least two sidequests that upon completion can add an extra touch to the theme.
Lastly for something that's probably obvious to some but overlooked by others, certain stables have a stablehand that will let you modify the look of your horse to a degree, even if you don't have any extra saddles or bridles you can still stylise your horses manes.

Upon completing Warbler's Nest the Rito kids will be up at the takeoff point overlooking Warbler's nest adding birdsong to the theme.
Completing all of Kass' sidequests has him return to the village, accordion in tow of course for that extra layer to the theme.

I only have the helmet and the boots, guess I need to check the mazes again...thanks for sharing!

In this case just check the maze on your map that doesn't have a shrine marked/completed yet since they're all shrine based chests.
At step #1, you can also just sit down in front of the dog to get the love thing to appear. And meat and probably other kinds f food work at step #2.

Pretty sure that instruction says "take our your bow" and then press right on the d-pad to select a bow (and left to change arrows). No bow to take out = can't follow that instruction.
I beat one shrine in every maze, do you mean that one of the mazes has 2 shrines?
Also, if you complete a combo the guardian will flinch and stop it´s current attack sequence. For example, if it´s preparing the sword and you manage to hit him with a full series of spear attacks, a special sound will trigger, the small guardian will get pushed back and it won´t launch the sword attack. So if you can keep up your offensive you can completely shut down their attack (except when they jump backwards to prepare a spinning charge or laser beam).
Another tip: Look at the floor of the shrine when fighting guardians: you can use magnesys and cryonis to lift/create pillars to stop the charging spinning attack if there are no pillars in the room.
You did all 3 mazes?
Well I mean it's a game, so can be read as "press the 'take out your bow' button", right?

I figured this out only by accident during
the final boss fight. Isn't this the only way to beat Calamity Ganon? If there's another way (especially when he's "invincible" during the final quarter-health), I would LOVE to know because he was ruining me.

There are 3 mazes? I've only done the ones
on the northeastern island
in the Gerudo desert
lol I thought there were only 2. I´ll look for the last one, thanks!
Or, shoot in eye, when stunned, mount it from behind (haha, not like that) and start spamming attack.
You can also let it get close and back flip multiple times in a row to get flurry rushes in.

anyone know why a swarm of flies are in one spot near water?
They're all at least visible as soon as you open the map for that respective area. No underground nonsense.
Although the island one actually has an underground...
Awesome, thanks for the helpful tips! I'll try them out tonight.

You can also parry most Lynel attacks, if your timing is good. I can do it about half the time or better for most encounters. Dodging or flipping for flurry rushes is pretty good too.

This was me when I learned about cutting their legs off. It made fighting them a breeze from then on as I could basically stun lock them until dead. All those shiny gears!!!!
I was at the tropical town just off of Eventide, and he took a look at my Hyrule picture - not sure why it was so far though.

After you finish the shrine, just drop down into the pit where the updraft is coming from.

Legitimately feel sorry for anyone who didn't know this but may explain why I saw people saying their hard to beat because in my experience they're really easy to beat, just stun them with a arrow to the eye, chop of a few legs with a broadsword, run away, repeat.
Not sure...that's why I'm asking. Saw it on another forum, but no one had confirmed it. Normally I wouldn't give it a second thought but this game has so many secrets that it wouldn't surprise me.
Edit: Here's where I read it (5th post): https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/189707-the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/75062418

Also, Stasis+ works on Lynels. Helpful to get away from their attacks.
Unless that's a hard toggle, I'm saying no. I had all but four memories and it still took 13 for me.
(Also, good luck getting to the memory inside the castle without the Master Sword. Sheesh.)
It was quite the surprise when I was having trouble taming wild horses then I accidentally hopped on a bear while exploring the woods and rode it around. Almost got the stable guy to accept it.

Wrong thread? lol
Yeah thats one of the worst parts of the game.
Since we're in this thread, I found out afterwards that you can use your kinesis to pick up boxes and destroy the stupid drones.
what? just tell him to stop walking and kill the drones and then come back for him
