It tracks main quests and side quests, not sure where shrines are tracked.

Also good luck finding 900 korok seed puzzles!

It's not worth tracking them all down what you get isn't worth the effort, unless you are a completionist.

I've got all memories done, 2 of 4 divines down and one the third...and I bought the house.

I see the end coming and I don't wanna reach it, last few plays have just been me running around gathering materials and wrecking shit.

The korok seeds are the cure to running out of weapons.

Killed my first Lynel last night. Holy shit those things are hard. Was doing the Zora quest thingy. Burned through most of my weapons and destroyed my knights shield. :/ Was pleasantly surprised on how difficult this game can be. The fact that if I missed my block even once that thing would kill me in one hit. I realized after I killed him that it wasn't a requirement for the shock arrow quest...

Beat this earlier today but didn't really complete it since I only found 92 shrines and had some side quests that I didn't do. Kind of wanted to not do the castle until everything else was done to make the game last longer but my curiosity got the better of me and the castle can be completed a lot quicker than expected. With 91 hours and 34 minutes of play time this is probably my most played Wii U game and I feel like there is still a fair amount left for me to explore in it too. Great game!

Yeah, I died a lot before I realized I could just pick up the arrows and ignore him. 

So far for me, the Lynel is the most intimidating enemy in the game.  I've ran into 4 so far and I've avoided them all, but it's my goal to eventually take them out.

Problem with Lynels is they are easy to flurry rush, but they have such a high health pool that you better have some good weapons with you.

I've only killed the Gerudo and Zora Lynels so far. I hear the one in the Collisseum is the hardest/most durable.

I killed the one in the Collisseum, then climed to the top of the Collisseum and was scouting where to go next, and then the blood moon hit and he respawned before my eyes. It was pretty danm discouraging.

This game is a marvel in game intuitive game design, have you guys done the lost woods yet? I had a hard time initially, and almost googled the solution; but the success rate of experimentation in this game up to that point encouraged me to try new things, and surely enough a couple experimental attempts lead me to the solution.

Still consistently surprising and fun.

I didn't realize the blood moon respawned the mini bosses.  I thought they stayed dead and only the regular enemies came back.  Good to know.  I once had a blood moon hit me during the middle of a battle with a group of enemies in their camp.  I had killed about half of them, but I was under powered at the time and in a little over my head, so that wasn't much fun. 

I received my 13th heart last night, so I'm headed to the lost woods tonight.  So far I'm going without a guide, but I've been picking up hits and tricks in some of the forums (such as knowing I need 13 hearts for the Master Sword).  But it's my goal to get through the forest without help.

Yep, same here. I haven't looked a guides, and have avoided spoilers my best, but the zeitgeist discussion of discoveries in this game has been a fun element, so I've involved myself in discussions on the forums I frequent. I also heard of the 13 heart thing, so I followed up and went to lost woods when I got my 13th heart. Fun stuff so far, enjoy the woods!

Blood moon respawns everything in the world, including loose weapons (not in chests).


From what I can tell, manandtaurs can respawn at different levels. I killed one that was blue, after a blood moon, I went back to farm it, and it was white.

Thanks.

While I'm avoiding guides and spoilers, I actually enjoy the forum discussions and reading about how people have accomplished the same thing in different ways, so I don't mind picking up on a few hints that way.  Also, the fact that there are so many different ways to accomplish the same thing is probably my favorite aspect of the game so far.

A guy on NA basically beat the game with just 4-8 hearts (each divine beast gives a heart) because he didn't do any side quests or exploring, just followed the main quest log. Didn't even expand his weapon/bow/shield inventory slots. Made the game way hard on himself

Are the divine beasts actually required to beat the game? I've been loosely following the quest log (just found a memory picture place) and have been making wider and wider circles of the general area around Karikaiko Village looking for shrines.

No, you can go straight to Hyrule Castle to fight Ganon if you want. Completing the Divine Beasts makes the end fight easier.

I got the master sword last night.  The Lost Woods wasn't too difficult.  I made it through with only 3 mistakes.  The funny thing was, that I never did actually figure out what I did right.  I just kind of guessed my way through.  But I unlocked the shrine in the forest which will allow me to fast travel in and out of the forest.  Anyway, with 13 hearts and the master sword, I'm going to focus more on the main quest and start finishing the other 3 Divine Beasts.

This game has been so good that I have been putting off finishing it. Luckily, there is plenty of stuff to do when you stray from the path. Many of the elements that make the game great are things that annoy me elsewhere, like the cooking and breaking weapons. Nintendo has done it again.
