    Ride upon it so that you may hunt the flesh that is weak! (In all seriousness, that horse is strong enough to kill any animal short of a rhino by running into it, making it perfect for hunting from. It's pretty brutal vs the red and blue enemies too).

    Also good for jumping off and doing slow-mo headshots on things. Or just jumping off to get into platforms you cant easily climb to. Lotta uses, that horse.

    I love how it'll just run forever without you needing to baby its stamina. It's not the fastest horse but Dollop will outrun them all.

    Ya I named it Dollop.

    What I want to know is, am I the only one who dances along with him whenever he shakes those maracas?

    It's the only animation in the game I made sure to watch every time.

    I think I've had the most fun with this game since I moved my dock into my office and played on my second monitor. I don't know what it is.... I guess I'm just more of a PC gamer now.

    Today I just explored and farmed armour mats. Damn hearty bass.

    Now I just need to save up enough for the last fairy. Or sell a bunch of stuff and immediately regret it. Is there maybe a list of what not to sell for those last armor upgrades?

    Trying to get horns from dragons to upgrade armor is awful. I gave up after so many attempts where the dragon didn't spawn or I shot off a scale instead of a horn or I shot something off but got hit by the ambient damage sources and couldn't find my drop after I recovered.

    I just sold a stack of diamonds and other jewels. Once you start fighting silver enemies they're basically just monster parts.

    Speaking of dragons, it seems like each interaction drops just one item, no matter how many times I hit it, is that correct?

    That is correct. Further, though you probably already know this, it never hurts to point out the other major confusion point for neophytes: the first drop you get will always be a scale, no matter the actual impact point of the arrow.

    While we're giving Dragon tips. I believe getting the horn requires a triple shot bow to work.

    I also once had a weird glitch where after multiple runs of failing to hit the dragon I finally figured out the damn thing had somehow become insubstantial. I could see it flying but I couldn't hit it, there were no energy balls and I could fly straight through it.

    Fair enough. I'd heard it somewhere and after a few flubbed runs with a single shot I did the rest with a triple shot rather then risk losing more time.

    Best bows for dragon farming are, Phrenic, Golden and Ancient. The first two zoom and third has little to no arc just a rifle straight shot. Twilight bow might also be good because it is basically a laser gun but I don't have one so I dunno.

    The Lynel bows are kinda junk for Dragon farming because the shots arc like crazy. Those bows are shotguns, not rifles.

    The same kind of places you found the first one.
    All three pieces are in the large Labyrinths. They're distinct and somewhat conspicuous structures on the map once you scan a tower, but if you want the locations they are
    On an island north of the Akkala Research Lab, In the tundra between Death Mountain and Mount Hebra (basically dead center of the northern most part of the map), and to the east of the Gerudo Desert.

    Meat. Always sell meat. Cook 5 prime meats for a meal that sells for over 200 rupees, or 5 gourmet meats for 490 rupees.

    IIRC there was also someone who'd buy it at 100 per, but considering the number of clicks, cooking it is probably easier.

    Hunt in the cold areas, the animals there have better quality meat. But you need to grab it before it freezes

    No, there's a guy who will give you a silver rupee for each gourmet meat you give him, but you have to talk to him each time. Also, he only eats three per day.

    One of my biggest disappointments with BotW was the utter lack of a proper villain. Ganon is merely another monster to be killed, albeit a very strong one. I miss Ganondorf as a character with motivations and meaningful interactions with Link and company.

    Wind Waker was probably the best in this regard and I'm afraid Nintendo will never attempt to top it.

    As someone who had been on media blackout regarding the game until I bought it I was disappointed to read that Ganon was the bad guy yet again. When I actually started the game and saw characters referring to him as "Calamity Ganon" and that he himself primarily manifests as a pig-headed snake cloud I was much more excited and couldn't wait to see what his true form looked like.
    When he finally popped-out as a grotesque cybernetic mutant with a centipede-like configuration and a mangled face I was beyond pleased.

    I really liked the implication that, while Zelda and Link are reincarnated as similar but not identical people, continuous resurrection attempts have basically caused Ganon to become a monster in body and mind.

    BTW, I similarly loved how Mega Man X6 brought in a zombified Sigma whose only lines were things like "DIE! JUSDIE!"

    One of my favorite things was that
    he's like half Guardian. If you looked close you might be able to put the pieces together to make an entire Guardian.

    Another moneymaker is selling high duration elixirs. For example one bug/lizard + four monster guts makes a potion that lasts 10+ minutes and sells for 200+ rupees. I tend to do this with beetles because they really aren't useful to make high effect potions (since cooking their food equivalents is much easier). And also so Beedle will stop bugging me for beetles every time I want buy/sell from him.

    I was always a bit wary of elixirs because alot of Monster parts had crafting purposes. Meat is safe though (except fish. Keep the fish)

    Ended up making my 10000 for the final fairy by selling a crapton of Amber and Luminous gemstones. Still had enough Amber to fully upgrade the Amber necklace and unless your doing it for completion or you just really like the design the armor you use luminous gemstones for isnt worth upgrading. That said you can trade them for Diamonds so that's something to keep in mind.

    If you're looking for money...
    There's at least one good mini-game that should consistently get you several hundred rupees in ~3 min.
    It's north of Death Mountain.
    The Gut Check Challenge on Gut Check Rock

    Faster than farming meat, but probably not than selling meat you've already farmed.

    The fastest is
    snow bowling that's just below one of the towers in the icy northwest.

    There are ways to make sure you stand in the exact same spot every time when you drop the snow boulder so that you get a strike every time for 300 rupees.

    About two weeks ago i decided to start a new game. I set a few rules for myself.

    I would avoid all storyline interactions until i had the master sword.
    I would restrict fast travel usage unless i was trapped, or otherwise really far from my next goal.
    I would try and avoid activating towers unless i had already found several shrines around said tower.
    No upgrades of the slate until after i get the sword.

    I've kept with it for the most part.
    I got my 40th shrine
    over the weekend, and collected the sword. Then i went to see impa for the first time, and i had enough mats from my shrine hunting to then go to the lab and upgrade all the slate abilities. In my first runthrough i got to about 90 shrines...this one ive already found at least 4-5 that i had never found before.

    I'm mostly doing this cause of all the comments the NPC's made when i introduced myself and they were all like 'sure your the hero...wheres your sword?'. This time i hope to get a little more respect :)

    This happened to me twice and I've already said that it will be the last time.
    I know where the sword is, but have no idea how strong I have to get before I can take it out, nor do I want to know.
