I don't recall anything about it that was particularly difficult -- some of the terrain on the way is hard-going, but it's fine if you stick to the roads and in any case you have a horse, right?. If you keep your eyes peeled the journey will reveal a lot of shrines, so by the time you get there you'll have powered up a bit. You can wear your warm coat that you hopefully picked up from the Old Man on the Great Plateau (or it's in Hateno Village to buy). After that, I don't think it matters which order you do them in. If I could go back I would probably do Gerudo next though, as it's a really interesting quest. The risk is that the remaining two might feel a bit underwhelming if you do that one second, but I think they're all fun in their own way.
I did Zora, Goron, Rito, and Gerudo in that order, but that's just because I was committed to the idea of starting in the south and then working my way around the map counter-clockwise. Probably not optimal but it felt like a pretty epic journey!
Cheers Karl, Im looking for the shock arrows, and I've been assaulted by a horse/monster hybrid who literally mashes me with on hit, even the slo mo dodges i do, do nothing to him
Those centaur things - Lynels - are really hard. Have you done the
Rito yet? By the end of your journey there you'll probably have picked up enough
shock arrows from random encampments and chests, so that
you don't have to do the Lynel if you don't want to. If you still have trouble after the
Rito, there is actually a vendor in
the Gerudo city that sells
a good selection of elemental arrows, including
shock arrows.
A good tip for Lynels is to get
the Stasis+ upgrade from
the Hateno Research Lab. Between that, head-shots, and elemental arrows, you can deal respectable damage without giving them a chance to retaliate. Potions and foods that
boost your damage output help you get past their large health pool, too.
Youve just reeled off a list of stuff I havent even done
Excuse my ignorance, but what is the
rito
That's what's great about this game.
When you go to your Adventure Log and click the Divine Beasts entry, it should put four quest markers on your map. There's one in the far north-west. I've seen a broad consensus that, if you're finding the game kinda difficult at first, that's a great one to start off with. It revolves around a race of people called the
Rito, who are basically like
birds. You can just ride a horse there, do some exploring, check out some shrines, do the quests up in that region, and then come back to the
Zora later.
I would even recommend doing the south-west one before you do the one you're currently at, because I think it's a better & more fun quest, and by the time you're done with both north-west and south-west Divine Beasts you'll feel much more powerful -- that Lynel won't be quite as scary (though it'll still be a bit scary!).
If you don't know where
Hateno Village is, it's a good place to visit early on. It's quite close to the first village, which the Old Man tells you to visit,
Kakariko. There is a character there who can give you certain upgrades and
Stasis+ is pretty useful because
it lets you apply Stasis to monsters, not just objects.
