Just noticed this:
I beat Ganon. It took me a while longer than it should have because I forgot that I could parry his laser attacks (and Iād been avoiding guardians so I never had a reason to really learn it).
That was a good game! Itās easily in my top three for game of the year and will likely stay there for the rest of the year. (Snake Pass and Prey are my other two, if you were wondering)
Note to self for master mode: Learn how to parry consistently in general combat.
this game is like, the best open world game ive played, it actually feels like, lived in

On Eventide Island, I accidentally knocked the highest orb off the cliff with a bomb intended for a monster. I spent a lot of time trying to get it back up using various methods, with no luck.
A targeted bombing got me the closest, but the blast was much too strong and the orb ended up in the water on the other side of the island every time.
This eventually gave me the idea that the orbās position might reset based on distance, and I blasted it way out into the water. This worked, but it felt cheap since I probably could have got it back up there eventually some other way.

Playing master mode. Doing the thing where you kill the three bokoblins to get the Maracas back for tree boy. Ran in with my horse, let horse be a distraction while I take out two of them. Horse kicks the third bokoblin off a cliff butā¦it doesnāt die.
I spent the next 5 minutes dropping bombs on it to try and knock it into the nearby river so I could open the chest. I actually thought it was great.
Bleah, I had blasted an orb way out into the water by accident, couldnāt see it anymore, and just reloaded to the beginning of Eventide instead of checking to see if it had respawned in its original location.
i blasted an orb too, but resting at a fire fixed it
Random NPC dialogue is just so good in this one. Up there with Dragon Quests.

When I reached the Yiga hideout, I remembered that someone in this thread had said something about an annoying stealth segment. I was surprised to get through the area with no problem. I even discovered that after reaching the end the place became deserted and I could go back and pick up all the treasure I had skipped.
Tonight I learned that I had been mistaken in assuming that was the annoying stealth part. As for the real thing, I donāt think Iām going to bother trying to finish it. One thing I appreciate about it, however, is the āHalfway there!ā comment that just has to be an attempt to infuriate the player.
Edit: Okay, I might as well admit to myself that of course Iām going to keep at it until I finish it. Though I canāt say the same for that golf shrine (the only one that remains orange on my map).
oh man I loved the golf shrine even though the touch controls were a nightmare in cemu
I did in fact finish the game without doing the gerudo stuff tho
Stealth trick: bombs are as good as bananas
Oh, what I meant was that I had no problem at all with the Yiga stealth part. It was quite easy. What Iām having trouble with is following the Korok kid through the forest. He always gets me when the wolf appears.
Oh nvm I had wayyyy more trouble with the part you already did
The next time I tried that Lost Pilgrimage part, I beat it with no problem. I guess itās just like some levels in R-Type that you have to learn before you can get through them, only without the appeal of an R-Type level.
I think Iām right on the verge of finishing the game. Iāve explored most of the world and have just one of the four beasts remaining. I realized last night that after being intimidated by the free-roaming guardians early on, I had never bothered trying to fight them. They really arenāt all that tough.
I guess I will try the golf shrine one more time, since itās the only thing Iāve come across but left undone (other than a few shrine chests that I just had no idea how to reach).

I finally tamed the sweetest dang horse thing, the Lord of the Mountain/Satori; our time together was brief but magical
There arenāt really any good gifs of it Iāve found by either its English or Japanese name, but it is beautiful, would recommend following all mysterious lights

Have you tried any of the other languages? Latin American Spanish has the ebst set of voices out of them all I believe
I like the Russian voices! I didnāt try until after beating the game so idk about the cutscenes, but I really like the reads for when ur abilities are ready.
