Does anyone else enjoy the chrysalism aspect of the game? My favorite thing is sitting just inside the doorway of a shrine and making a fire to cook during the rain or storm and just listening to the rain while staying dry and safe. Beautiful.

I grew up on NES, and really haven't enjoyed a Zelda game since A Link to the Past. I tried most of the main entries to the series, and the only one that kind of kept my attention for a bit was A Link Between Worlds, but even that I don't think I even finished the light world palaces. I played back through the first 3 games again recently and then was surprised by my wife with a Switch 2 so after seeing so many positive reviews I grabbed BotW and last night beat Calamity Ganon. All I can really say about the game is wow. Definitely one of the finest games I've ever played, and I know I barely even scratched the surface in the 61 hours it took me. Zelda notes shows me visiting 20% of map locations 🤣 I have 52 shrines left and a whopping 874 Korok seeds I didn't bother looking for, but I needed to finish the main quest so I could put the game down and spend more time with my family... It was getting bad. I'd find myself still playing at 2am when I had to work in the morning...

I haven’t unlocked all of the map yet but I’m keen to experience the lost woods / korok forest.
Please can someone guide me in the general direction from Zoras domain?
Thanks!!

Edit: thanks for all the directions! I wanted my horse with me so I’ve made a stop at Serenne stable… going to make some food and then head East 🙂‍↕️

My friend has recently started playing BOTW and I’m always around when he plays to help him. (I’ve beat BOTW & TOTK). I’ve been acting as sort of a guide, trying to steer him in the right direction when he gets stuck without giving him the answer. I do this because I don’t want to ruin his learning of the game because it could be detrimental later on. However, he finished the early main quest involving kakariko village and impa telling you to go to the divine beast. Promptly after finishing this, he heads to the Lanaryu region. “Perfect, this is the same route I took in my first playthrough!” I thought to myself. 15 minutes later, he gives up because the creatures along the road to Zoras domain were too difficult to beat and he starts heading to Gerudo desert. He’s still struggling with enemies and the Gerudo story quest, and there is absolutely no way he stands any chance vs Thunderblight Gannon, undoubtedly the hardest boss in the game. Should I tell him to go somewhere else or let him perish?

When I first started playing the game, when I got to the top of central tower there was this guy on top who challenged me to glide as far as I could. I had to erase that file and start over, but now he never appears. I have checked at all times of the day and tried googling it, but I can't find any information.

So I hit the max inventory limit for outfits. I'm at 100 outfit items right now

What are the items I should sell to make room for the DLC and Amiibo armors? Can I sell the Gerudo Clothes and still enter Gerudo Town?

I just found out that the Xenoblade DLC bonus consists of 3 more armor pieces and I'm maxed out, so I can't pick them up. Help me figure out what to get rid of? I've obtained everything except the Xenoblade quest items.

I already ditched the following but need to free up 3 more slots.

1. Old Shirt
2. Well-Worn Trousers
3. Warm Doublet
4. Nintendo Switch Shirt (DLC)

Hi all! As many, I have been thinking about getting the DLC. At this point, I'm about halfway through the game (2 DB, ~500 korok seeds, about 80 shrines and half of the map unlocked).

No spoilers please!

I try to be very thorough when exploring, which makes me wonder how exactly the extra content is implemented in the game. For example, I read there are a couple of new treasure chests and shrines. Does this mean I have to backtrack and revisit parts of completed regions blindly until I stumble upon something? I'm guessing stuff like "the trails" will be pretty obvious, but still.. How "difficult" will it be to really get all of the new content? Perhaps the new chests will have a different appearance?

This subreddit already convinced me of the added value of the DLC, but I would like to know what I'm getting myself into before doing a lot of stuff again :)

Thanks!
