Speak for yourself! I'm broke and have wasted my diamonds on upgrading the Diamond Circlet, which I will never even use .

The builders buggered off to their mate's wedding and now they're not at my house! How do I upgrade it without them?

I missed so many Koroks in the Central Region. They're packed so tightly together especially around the Colleseum / Satori Mountain area, compared to the coasts where you barely get the, within sight distance.

You go to the wedding.

I did and it was lovely, but they've not come back since!

You need to talk to them afterwards

93 Koroks to go

54 in 100 hours!

Have you been wilfully ignoring them

Well, I certainly haven't been seeking them out, but lots of people seem to say that they can't help but stumble across them - but that just isn't my experience!

The ones I have found are pretty much exclusively the ones hiding under single, isolated rocks, with a few from diving into circles of lily pads, a few from giving apples to statues and a few from completing rock circles. Oh, I've done one or two of the metal box structures, same for the 'fly through the circle in the time limit' ones....and that's it, I think

I just........don't see 'em, and I feel like i have enough swords, bows and shields anyway so.....I don't worry about it I suppose

Yeah, I didn't find many more on my initial run through, but now I'm seeking out the last shrines I'm finding them a lot more as I head to places that are more out of the way and at the peaks of hills/mountains

Yeah it's fantastic that the game is never constantly reminding you of your quests. The log is there but never rammed down your throat . Every play session is like a mini adventure which is one of reasons it's so compelling and why people are putting in 100+ hours playtimes.

Just went to see Robbie, gooseberry fool that armor is pricey !

Not sure where tonneau next, i enabled the tower in the desert, might go shrine wandering for a bit, only done 4 between beast 1 and 2....

Trying to farm star fragments to upgrade my amiibo armour drops and the bloody fragments keep falling into water.

Well after about 100 hours of play time, 90 shrines, 62 Korok Seeds, 4 Divine Beasts and a whole load of fun, I've finally beat Ganon.

Easily one of the best games I have ever played even surpassing Orcarina of Time at that.

Pretty much spot on.

I'm still dipping in almost every night, looking for more shrines, exploring areas I missed previously.

It just has so much to offer.

I felt the same after beating Ganon, the music in the castle though.

Im probably in a very good position to take on Ganon now but from Ive heard you cant just keep playing after you beat him, you have to reload a save which is something that drives me nuts in games like this. I dont know why, it just really annoys me, so Im going to hold off on giving it a go for another bit.

Not quite Rax, the game does save after you beat him, it just places you back to the moment before you enter the boss fight when you load it. But you get a star on the save file to indicate you beat ganon, any photos you took during the bossfight remain on your camera/in your compendium, and you can see your percentage completion and total number of quests completed in each category.

Oh, that aint so bad then. Looks like Im heading to Hyrule Castle next time I get a chance to play.

Finally got the Knights Sadle, bloody hell that was a challenge. Not a chance I could have done it without the motion control. Loved having to keep returning to it and now getting to trot around Hyrule in full boss mode
