I saw it. It’s one of the reasons I have high hopes for the next one.
All I can to that is welcome to BOTW.
I just hope they have more dungeon focus in the next one. Open world is nice but the dungeons are still my favorite part of the series. The ones in BotW are good but, like the shrine challenges, felt too short. Nothing quite on the level of, say, Stone Tower Temple or Arbiter’s Grounds.
I just need another forest or spirit temple. they had such great atmosphere
Dungeons indeed.
I love the new game. And the shrines are fun. But they really screwed the pooch by not having dungeons. I don’t want to give any spoilers. But there are 4 situations in the game that would have made perfect dungeons. Leading to a 5th even.
Seems getting Star Fragments got easier
Finally have the entire map on display. Still need Stasis+…
I think I’m going to go for everything (side missions, shrines) before I head to the castle again. Game is still awesome, but it’ll probably be another two months before I get everything done.
You can beat the game and continue getting everything after. It doesn’t seem to ruin anything
BOTW lacks big dungeons, but they got a metric fuck ton of mini dungeons, Shrines, caves with “OMG why so many Wizrobes”, Enemy base camps, ect.
I’d much rather have traditional dungeons than anything else they had in this game. I enjoyed doing the Divine Beasts but even though didn’t have the same feel and they had like no enemies up until the boss. The shrines in general are fun but don’t compare at all to dungeons IMO. There are a few that are very lengthy (and I welcome that) and fun, but then you have a few that use the god awful motion controls I’d rather do with out, a bunch that are “tests of strength” that are exactly the same as the others and repetitive as shit, and then you have a bunch that have nothing but a treasure chest and spirit orb in them. I’m sitting at 102 shrines right now and plan to get all 120 but I would still prefer dungeons.
Also some of the shrine quests though are VERY fun and very smartly done. I did one the other day that took long as shit to just get to the shrine. I could not believe how involved it was and how specific it was. Had I not looked at a guide on how to do it, I don’t see how someone could have figured it out. This game is VERY smart and creative.
Went to Hyrule Castle to look for that Hylian Shield. Holy crap balls that place is HUGE. Mad loot in there though and I was so stoked when I opened that chest and I got the king of all shields! I got the last memory too. If you haven’t gotten it yet, you got a long trip through the castle to reach it. That sucker is practically right outside Calamity Ganon’s front door! Once I got it, I bounced.
And thus, Ganon reveals his next most terrifying form…
…Catlamity Ganon!
That cat is so pissed off 
What catastrophe…
I’m at 119 shrines and I can’t even find the 1 I’m missing by looking at the guide on IGN 
The last shrine is in a special place that you can only access after getting all the others. Look more closely at the map- It’s made very clear where that place is.
Or, you can just look on YouTube…
Also, be prepared to dodge A LOT of Guardian Beams.
You talking about [details=Spoiler] the forgotten temple [/details]? That shrine is always there. I’ve done it and I’m at like 106.
Yeah that is the one he was talking about, and I had already done it as well. And it wasn’t hard at all you just sprint through there and they miss you lol.
Heh, funny thing is … I had all the shrines unlocked. There was one however that I hadn’t completed and I didn’t realize that it had the hint of orange in it until I was scanning everything again with a guide for like the 5th time. It was one where you had to use stasis to shoot objects, and I remember when I first got to it I had like 1 weapon and it was like an axe so those are hard as hell to aim.
Gotta say, the reward for getting all 120 shrines is pretty damn weak lol.
29/42 Shrine Quests.
57/76 Side Quests.
90/120 Shines.
210/900 Korok Seeds.
I’m gonna 100% this game eventually
I have all 120 shrines but I counted the shrine quests I completed in my log and I only had like 36.
