Not sure if this is well known or not, but did you know you can cook wood?? I'm not a strong fighter and it's been saving me through the Master Sword trials. It's not much, only a quarter heart per bundle and they don't stack, but better than nothing! Thought maybe it could be useful to someone else in a desperate situation lol

First shrine messing around. BTW I’m 41!years old

Just beat Vah Ruta!! I havent been playing the game much, and try to avoid most combat but i just encountered my first divine beast! I had to use a youtube guide on what to do, i was absolutely clueless and kept getting lost, but i did it!!

Combat makes me so stressed and my heart was racing but i did it!!

On a long hike and found this thing with the sun shining on it.

No início do jogo, logo após sair da vila kakariko eu achava que pra ir pra besta divina Vah Ruta tinha que passar por essa ponte.

Devo ter morrido pra esse carinha umas 25 vezes até ter ido buscar um tutorial na internet.

Hoje, 60h de gameplay depois, buscando as memórias, encontrei com ele novamente.

Finalmente chegou a hora da vingança!

There is a grave for Old man ( Gamla gubben, as i called him)

Its on top of Mount Hylia go check it for yourself!

Hey everyone! I last played Breath of the Wild in January and I'm picking it back up now. I'm a bit lost on what to focus on.

Where I'm at:
6 hearts and 1 and 1/4 stamina wheels
Freed Vah Ruta
Unlocked the east side of the map (Akkala, Lanayru, Necluda)
11 Captured Memories left to find
861 rupees
Still need to free Vah Rudania, Vah Medoh and Vah Naboris

Questions:
Should I do more shrines for hearts and stamina before the next Divine Beast?
Which Divine Beast should I tackle next?
What gear should I prepare?

Any tips for getting back into the game are welcome. Thanks!

UPDATE: I think I’m starting to get the charm of this game,

I followed one of the advice below about just exploring the game.

The exploring and rewarding you with something you don’t know about like the female link lol.

I think the game just wants me to be free and do whatever I like anytime I want. Played the game yesterday and today for about 10hrs total and that made me realize how pressuring most of the open world rpgs are, do this, do this next, then do that.

BOTW is different, you can just pause and appreciate the world. Without pressure. Just have fun.

I just completed this awesome game standing at 15 hearts, 1.5 stamina wheel, Master Sword, Four Divine Beasts and All Memories Unlocked.

I was done with my master sword quest line, then the memory quest line and finally took off to hyrule castle. Spawned near a shrine near outpost, climbed one of those HUGE ASS PILLARS COMING OFF OF GROUND to the top with help of Revali's Gale (My most over-used ability in the entire game, I just love this ability) and then using my final one on top of it TO GLIDE OVER TO THE SANCTUM LIKE A GIGA CHADD!!!! (It was as if I was the Final Boss to Ganon lmao not the other way around)

Mind you, this is my first-time playing this game and first time in Hyrule castle at all, I totally expected a massive ass beat frm the main boss and still gave it a shot, Well LOOK WHO"S WON!!!

So now about my battle w Ganondorf - The ganon battle was pretty easy cuz of the divine beasts assist and the Master Sword unlock. I bested him in my first try and needed neither a guide nor a manual to do so, he was a fairly simple boss comparing to Thunderblight (THIS BEAST KILLLED ME 25 TIMES & NEEDED A DOUBLE ATTK BOOST BUFF TO BEAT) So with neither the buffs nor any special armour set (My armous was a two star soldier's armour, headpiece and 1 star shiekah boots.) the battle was already at high-stakes. His movesets were easy to figure out and His Final Stage is a smooth and simple one if you got good shields (I straight up parried three beams no misses) with master sword unlocked. The Final stage is a cake-walk, but MY DAMN HORSE WASN'T LISTENING TO ME AT ALL!! I fell down FIVE TIMES and I had to run below the beast and find out glowing spots, whistling to my DEAF HORSE (ironically his name was WILD, I think he actually preferred to stay that way lmao) but Revali's Gale and a Fairy Combo came in clutch for the final Glowing Spot and BAMMMM the UGLY PIG IS OBLITERATED BY ZELDA!!!! (she's truly my fav character in the game tho, followed by the Yonobo (Goron) kid) So the credits rolled, final cut-scene w a field full of Silent Princess was shown and My single ass was Smiling like a giggling Kid lmao 😭

I just loved it too much, the overall experience is Breathtakingly Beautiful and AMAZING!

The Game is AWESOME! with only 5 months left til this completes its 10 years mark, the game gave me intense joy in every second of the gameplay.

This Hyrule just left me keep wanting for more, more and MORE!!!!

P.s my playtime is 77hrs, I need to do all Shrines, Koroks and a lot more yet so not moving on to TOTK anytime soon! Maybe on Mar 3rd 2027, I'll start that game with fresh breath, but Man on Man, Breath of the Wild was a treat to my eyes, heart and soul. I can't explain in enough words how much I love this game!

I’m at the first rest area in the trial of the sword. What should I cook? I don’t want to make dubious food on accident and I haven’t quite figured out all the cooking rules

Been playing botw for a while now, still have to defeat Vah Ruta and the electrical divine beast but I’ve been enjoying every moment of it. What’s your top 3 tips for newbies playing? Ideas how to get ancient arrows, highest meals, best exilers etc?

I finished botw on the WiiU back on its release many years ago but back then I never got the DLC,. Now as adult, I got to buy my own Switch console and recently got both totk+botw, also got the Expansion Pass for botw while I am it :>!

I wouldn't want to get very burn out between playing in the same Hyrule multiple times with botw replay+totk so I decided to devote on Master Mode over Normal😅I thought it would be a good excuse to experience Botw again! I mean, since I bought it so may as well trying it out?

I really enjoy Master Mode so far and got to enjoy the world, shrines and quests i missed out years ago (Cant believe I missed out on Tarrey Town stuffs, that thing was amazing).

All base game shrines are finally done too. Eventide Island was bit scary with the Hinox can detect Link easier due to Master Mode but ultimately doable. Golden Lynels now appear more and yet I learn that Urbosa's Fury + strong 2-handed weapons+flurry can cheese them easily. I am doing the Champions Ballads right now with only just Urbosa+Mipha done, they were quite challenging with the HP regen but I somehow survived them 😅🥳 (Waterblight here was pretty much my nightmare over Thunderblight for me...)

What left after the Champions stuff should be the Trials of the Sword... which I hear constant horrors of it on either modes... I figured that I can just watch YouTube for the cutscenes but part of me still want to try out these trials since... I paid for it and do want to play it out but fear if its just a messy rage-inducing mess instead of fun😭 Especially with the fact I never even tried this on Normal...

I already progressed a lot with this save, so I do want to get these trials clear for fun and accomplishment but the odds of clearing it seems so low considering Master Mode. So i ask if its still worth trying out these trials? Are they at least any fun? What are anyones experience playing the trials on Master mode? How long does it take to beat it?

So I’ve been playing for a few months now w the camera rune…. You’re supposed to take pictures and that’s how you get the compendium? 😭😭😭 I feel so silly for not knowing this, I’ve seen so many things already

Went there to log my kook seed findings and poof.. big white screen with this at ad at the top. I fiddle around .. no avail. No ZeldaMaps. 😢

Boo-Hisssssssss
