Only problem; I want to talk about general spoilers but it won't really be about said spoilers. I'll mainly be stuff like dungeon names, cool moments and more so I think a simple warning at the top of the post should do.

There are so much bittersweet side stories in this game. The one in Kakariko is my favorite.
Seemingly everyday, one of the kids in Kakariko village
goes the graves in the back to cry by herself because she doesn't want to upset her dad by letting him know that she knows her mom is dead instead of just somewhere else.

I discovered that by accident and it broke my heart. I only did the first "food" quest with her earlier which seemed super cute and innocent. Running into her in the graveyard totally put it in another context. It gets deeper when you finish all of her food quests as well as when you find out how the mom died. The younger daughter can be found near the shrine on the hill every morning looking for her mom.

Whaaa? I'll have to go investigate this. This stuff always gets me.
Hmm... as long as it's daytime they should be chilling in front by the fire place. They go to sleep at night though.

Definitely agree with you there and also for me personally it surpassed Ocarina of Time and Bloodborne. At the moment I'd rank Breath of the Wild my #3 favorite game of all time but I also still haven't finished it.
Super fuckin neat those options. I almost went with the torch myself but I couldn't get it across the water (before I decided to go around) and I was worried it would break.
How do you do the
old man quest for the cloth?
Yeah, at this point, if someone wanders into a BOTW thread (especially this one) and goes off because they see a dungeon or town name, maybe they need to just play the damn game and avoid online forums for a while.
I got several things "spoiled" before I got to them, but it didn't diminish their impact since they were of such high quality, and the context surrounding them also made a huge difference. Even clicking on spoilered comments and seeing stuff I haven't yet experienced doesn't really matter since odds are I won't remember specifically what I read by the time I reach them.He stays in Tarry Town (I assume this is Taburasa for you?) after the wedding until you talk to him again.

Yeah I think the biggest flaw in the game so far (by a huge margin in my opinion). 20 hours in, was the lack of a proper cooking tutorial. Maybe I missed it?

The other kid always references that his mom is playing hide and seek and he'll find her eventually. You can play games with him to pass the time. He's the brother of the kid who visits the graves.
The game makes me enjoy visiting the towns and villages. They did a great job with the characters.

I don't think there is ever one that outright tells you what to do via the menu like the ones for parrying or gliding but there are a few NPCs that explain it. There's a hut with a diary in the Great Plateau that tasks you with cooking cold resist food but you can completely miss it.
That said, there's not much to cooking. It's fairly free form and based on what the ingredients say outside of a few strict recipes.
Yeah, that's not the case after the
wedding
Thanks. I'll go look for him. The mission marker was set to

Is Pika go in any other village than Kakoriko?
I just traveled to every single stable I've found and still have two more pictures to go. I found three more stables along the way but no sign of the dude.
Knocked 10 pictures out like it was nothing and now I'm clueless.

I don't think he has hints for all of them. One of the pictures is in Hyrule Castle, he doesn't hint for that one.

I got a hint for the one in Hyrule Castle. Not that I needed it given that the picture is obvious enough, but...

Went into
to
and it looks like it's just as big as disappointment as the shrines and dungeons. Looks like you can't even cut loose with the damn
in there and all the secret stuff can be picked up one straightforward path. Hopefully I'm wrong and when I go back and it's actually got something interesting to do in there.

Just finished the main story and beat Ganon. The final battle was hilariously clumsy on my part, and I managed to run out of meals so Link had to eat a ton of apples throughout the fight. Incredible game overall and my favourite since Bloodborne. Definitely the best open world I've experienced. I didn't really touch most of the sidequests (despite exploring a lot) so I'll definitely go back to BotW in the future.

Played close to 25hrs, done zero story missions after completing the great plateau, but now I've decided to progress and finally made it to
I also just found out about the parry thing you do where you hold down the shoulder button to bring up your shield, then hit A...... I was like woah!
I was just exploring, doing shrines, collected stuff etc.

Funny, I was stuck on these as well for quite a while. Probably nearly a week? I had to get some hints for the last two. Really wish I would have just kept searching.

Owning Guardians with

I was struggling with them. I was just shooting them in the

deflecting th laser beam with the parry?
Yeah. If you do it right it becomes really easy and they arent nearly as intimidating.
Correct. I'm not too good at it myself
Anyone offer any advice on what I should do next, I'm not sure where to go?
so basically I've found my first memory and reported back to kakariko village. Now my main quests are just to find all memories and to kill all 4 guardians. I found a man in hateno village you mentioned gerudo and some other place, am I supposed to go there next?

I'm not sure if has hints for every picture (I think he might) but I know he has a hint for the one in the castle.
There's no "supposed" to at this point. World is your oyster. Good early dungeons are Zora and Rito. Hit the road, follow your muse.

He did to me. I was near the sea.
Wait what? The three trees were all puzzles? I skipped like a hundred of those.
Good idea, and it fits on the game's tiny character limit!
Huh I never found the tip for the Hyrule memory. Also... I have 111 Shrines, nearly 300 Korok seeds, and almost all gear fully upgraded; and I only JUST wandered into the
feeling village. Dunno how I let this happen lol what a stupid-huge game.
Oh shit. Thanks.

I'd just pick a direction and go; you'll stumble into one of the dungeons eventually and it'll be fun. Or you can go to the menu and activate the story quest pings.
If you want suggestions:
Go East for a skill that will help you
live longer.
traverse the terrain easier/faster.

Can I make a seperate save file on the same account? I wanna try some special runs when I beat the game (only 4 shrines, all beasts, no beasts, speed run, etc) but I dont want to lose my current main playthrough.

That accordion-playing Rito guy is one of my favorite additions to the game. He's got a cool design and it's just a great idea to encounter this traveling bard all over the place who introduce you to puzzles through old songs rather than, like, a stone tablet or something. I always get hyped when I hear that song.
In the photograph album, I think.
This is not a tutorial-based Zelda. Test stuff. Talk to NPCs. Look around for spots that mentions dishes or potions. Analyze the stuff you get from NPCs.
