Just made it to this shrine in the middle of the desert but can’t get in because this thirsty pum pum blocking the entrance. Can fast travel back to the shrine either smdh that was a hike.
The whole western part of the map feels really ominous compared to the rest. I really enjoy how the atmosphere changes from region to region. It’s really well done.
Are there any clothes for really cold regions? I put on the doublet thinking I was gonna be able to hike up the mountains with it to get to a memory. Hooooly hell was I wrong lol. That temperture meeter dipped aaall they way over. I ate a 4 min pepper dish and barely made it before it ran out with ice keese. Asshole hiding lizalfos and ice chuchus coming at me from dif directions. Had to just run past them cause I didnt have time to deal with their shit.
…I haven’t actually checked out the armor shops since my first day of playing, I’m still sporting the Zora armor (and the warm doublet occasionally). I should do that and see what they have
…side note…
[details=Spoiler]That Zora Armor doesn’t make any sense. When you get the leggings they claim you can swim as well as a Zora now…yet even with both the armor and leggings equipped swim speed barely goes up and you still drown trying to cross a river. Yet you can superspeed up a waterfall with no issue.
I know you guys are nowhere near done, but where would y’all rank BotW with the other Zelda games? Or is it such a black sheep its unfair to compare like when Resident Evil 4 came out.
Spoilering in case you haven’t found the location yet. But if you wanna know then fuck it. Lol

The Rito village at the Hebra region to the north west sells some warm clothes. Be prepared to spend 500+ on just one item of clothing.

I had a lot of orbs that I hadn’t cashed in so I bumped myself up to 15 hearts and that did the trick. Looked like at least 13 might have worked. Basically be prepared to have at least 45-50 shrines completed with all your upgrades going towards health.
This was one of those “major tests of strength,” I think it’s the same one Plaid_Unicorn attempted a while ago; the one on the lone island all the way to the east. That thing had 3000HP and would one-shot you if you had less than 12 hearts. Beat it on the second try once I saw how obvious its tells were. Still a fun fight though and gave me an axe with a whopping 60 power. This’ll definitely come in handy.

Damn. I only have 9 hearts right now, and am only at 3 spirit orbs in stock. So I’ve only completed 27 shrines so far (one of the heart containers is from one of the Divine Beasts and I invested one stock into stamina early on). Guess I gotta just seek out more
