Having just seen how many Korok seeds there are

Seeing the reward for getting them all

I'm at about 240 now. Hardly looked at probably a 3rd of the map. By the time I feel I've had a decent look at the whole map I miiiight have reached half way.

Am I missing some of the Korok seed locations because I can't understand how there are so many. Here are the obvious places I look.
Rock circles with missing rocks.
Underneath rocks in funny places (Mountain/treetops etc.)
Boulder puzzles
Flower arrangements (1,2,3,4,5)
Fly through goal challenges
Balloon pop challenges
Burning odd piles of leaves

Try....
odd lines of trees with fruit
Shrines with fruit
Rings of stones in water
Rings of lillies in water
Square block puzzles
Probably more but my brain has stopped

Forgot to mention 3, 4 and 5 but the others I've not seen.

I'm at 113 and am finding them a lot less regularly.

Up to 81 Shrines and 120 Koroks.

I've just done some stuff with the Dragons and I'm a bit disappointed with it. I absolutely loved seeing them and thought there might be some epic mini plot line with them but to just shoot them and have them disappear is a bit dissatisfying, not just because I like having them in Hyrule. Made everything a bit more magical

I've only done the 3 shrines with them (you need a scale for each) and they keep reappearing. At this point it feels like doing Lanayru first made it an anticlimax. The set up and the Ganon spunk made it more epic.

Zoras's Domain has to be one of the most poorly written dialogue areas in the game so far. NPC's in sudden surprise and amazement that I'm the great Hylian saviour from a 100 years ago. Like every one you go up to says pretty much the same thing. Then you have the history of the Zora's which is randomly dotted around the path leading to the main domain, though you actually have to go completely off track to find them all. Spent like an hour distracted looking around the area to find each of them. The history itself seems so simplified, like they just had to make something up for the sake of it without much effort put into it or as if a child had wrote it.

The level 3 clothing upgrade animation

The character and creature design in this is absolutely phenomenal. I honestly didn't think Nintendo had it in them.

Just when I think I've seen most of the world and think about just pushing the story until the end I rediscover the wonders of a little visited previous region. Utterly mesmerising

You can't go any farther

Worse game ever

Think I just cheesed the "A Delayed Puzzle" shrine. was going to shoot the ball in the air so went into slow mo but miss timed it. Went to do it again and the ball was on the floor. Maybe the slow mo messed the physics up.

Gerudo Town stuff. I have now retrieved the thunder crown thing from the Yiga tribe. Enjoyed that. Was a little creeped out by all the Toad statues. It was all pretty simple tbh. The stealth bit was as well. I slipped into my ninja Shiekah outfit. The bananas Just perfect sounds and animation. The boss fight was fun. Again very simple but at least this one made use of Links abilities.
The following story bit was probably the strongest in the game so far. Not that this says a huge amount. I really like Gerudo Town. Feels like we've been waiting ages for a proper settlement for them.

Also did a bunch more shrines. Including one where I had to shoot a cliff face with a shock arrow. and another that needed defrosting. I think that's 80 done for me.

East stuff

Fought my way to the Zora's Domain. Sid <3, the area is beautiful! Can't wait to see it when it's not raining on my game.

I havent had as much time to play this as I would have liked but being sick for the last 2 days has given me the oppertunity to put some proper time into it. Parked the story for a bit and decided to explore, I have climbed every tower and done a bunch of shrines, the ones that were between the towers I was passing between and I love the variety in the landscapes of the game. I had no appreciation for the scale of the map at the start, I was tagging places halfway across it and thinking it cant be that big, if I can see it Ill be there in no time. I quickly learned my lesson on that one! I probably wont be able to play much this weekend but when I get back to it Im going to push on with some story stuff, Im also going to try and not fast travel too much, theres loads of stuff I havent seen yet and Im looking forward to discovering it.

The motion control shrines automatically disqualify this game from ever being a 10/10. They're so bad I have to remove a point from the entire game because of them.
