I'm still pretty new to the game. I just kind of did a Skyrim thing and started heading North. I am getting my ass one hit K-O'd by the big baddies and it feels bad.
Other than that, I love the game. Super happy I bought the Switch. I do wish I could remap the crouch controls though.
As a bit of advice, you can start off by going pretty much anywhere, but you may have a better experience if you let the game guide you for a bit. There's some stuff to unlock that can be very helpful, and some tutorials that aren't clearly covered anywhere else.

I really like how you can judt play in short bursts if you want.
Now if I could just get more rupees... and arrows
For rupees, the best thing is hunting. Go to the stable in the north tundra, grab a horse, and go hunt some animals. Cooking max quality meat sell for a pile of rupees. It's how I financed most of my gear.
I didn't ever find something I wanted to buy where I didn't have enough random crap in my inventory to liquidise there and then to easily cover the cost.

For arrows, go back along the path to Zora's Domain. The enemies there drop a ridiculous amount.
There's a chest in a pool on a small island next to Eventide Island. It has 10 arrows, and the chest reappears whenever you either teleport or save/reload. If you have the DLC teleport medallion you can set it right next to the chest and start farming. It's the definition of a grind, but it's also probably the fastest method.

If you'll excuse an unprompted bit of assistance:
1) For rupees, kill every animal you see. It's worth the arrows to pick up any amount of meat you can get. Meat is one of the very rare crafting materials in the game that doesn't have any alternative applications besides eating it and selling it (except for one guy who wants a Gourmet Meat, and he'll barely give you above market price for them), so you can comfortably throw five meats in a pot (for rupee generation, it doesn't matter in the long run if you mix grades of meat) and sell the skewer without worrying about whether you're really going to need it later.
2) For arrows, find stables. Beedle will always sell arrows in his top two slots, and his stock refreshes every in-game day for each stable. That's also a good opportunity to cook and sell your meat, since every stable has a cooking pot nearby.
My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.
Beedle does overcharge for his arrows through, so you're better off trying the shops in towns first, assuming you've reached them.
They won't always have stock, but it's usually enough to see you through.
Also, try smashing/bombing the barrels and crates around enemy camps, arrows are a pretty common drop.

That's probably a good idea. I just got the basic runes and ran off hop scotching between shrines, mostly. I haven't run into anything I couldn't do, but yeah, some of those dudes hit hard. It's like Dark Souls with Elf Ears in some of those areas. Which is good and bad. I mean, I like Dark Souls. Also, I know I *can* technically kill those guys, but it's hard when they one shot you.
But you're saying I get new abilities from following the story stuff? I thought it was pretty open world in that "Well, here's the basics. Fuck off over the rainbow, Link."
Edit- One minor gripe I have is that the stand alone controller with the Zelda emblems and all on it doesn't have motion controls. So on several shrines I've had to sigh, get up and undock the switch and do the puzzle, and then put it back.
I guess I should have bought the Pro controller. I was too gung-ho on the Zelda front and didn't check for feature differences. I just thought the Pro Controller was wireless as the only difference.

There's a camera you have to unlock, that comes with the ability to register things that you photograph into a sort of guide thing and then track instances of them.
There's also an NPC who lets you upgrade the number of weapon/shield slots you have, who you can find much earlier than you normally would if you go that way.

Well, you get an ability from each major dungeon you complete. They make shrines and some open world things easier to complete, but they are not required.
They do not but the Guardians from the "Test Your Might" style shrines do return, which means you can pick up some ancient weapons and maybe an ancient shield from defeating it again. Also a few Guardian parts.

I'm still new since I've just bought a Switch and this so I'm just very casually and slowly making my way through the world, the way Zelda games are meant to be played for me, doing shrines, exploring, seeing what I can cook up, who I can meet along the way. I saw some wild horses and, not knowing how the mount system worked in this game (just assuming there was one), I sneaked up on a horse and held onto it while it tried to buck me off. I rode it around for a while and had to get off to go into a shrine, expecting it to leave, but when I came back it was just there waiting for me like we were best friends already. I rode around some more and eventually stumbled upon a stable, and saw that it was as easy as just registering him and making him permanent. That was fun and what I loved is there wasn't anything along the way telling me about the system or how to go about it.

The thing about the game is, there actually is a tutorial if you follow the path the game sets for you. Not really that much of a spoiler, but just in case you want your experience to be completely unknown:
If you head due east from the plateau and pass through the mountains, you'll immediately run into a stable. In addition to finding out about all of the horsey stuff by talking to people, there's a guy there who will give you a reward if you can capture and return with a horse quickly enough, giving you the opportunity to practice until you have it down.

I tend to go off the beaten path a bit so I must have approached him from a different direction or something. I'm glad it worked out that way, it was a mini-adventure and a bit of a self-contained story. Nonetheless, I like how the game is tutorial-light, and apart from the major (I assume) doesn't tell you where you have to go.
DLC pack 2 horse armor, can anyone give me a hint of where it's located? I don't want to just look it up, but it seems important enough that I don't want to stumble on it late in the game. I already found the
horse sprint boosting item on the big mountain under the cherry tree, but I could use a hint on the other one, regarding some horse spirit.

Rough directions:
Search around the south of the map. If you've unlocked the tower so you can see the map, it shouldn't be too hard to find.
And general advice for finding treasure if you think you're in the right area; using magnesis makes any hidden/buried chests easy to spot.
That area and the Akkala (spelling?) region in general is pretty good for getting a lot of things that can get you some rupees.
Lots of luminous stones and ore clusters to be found. There are also a lot of animals about in some areas that can get you a lot of prime meat real fast.
Zora's Domain is also really cool looking so its fun to explore. You will likely notice its easy to stock pile on something else while you are there too.

I only just now realized that the Master Sword did this:
Beedle does overcharge for his arrows through, so you're better off trying the shops in towns first, assuming you've reached them.

Also, try smashing/bombing the barrels and crates around enemy camps, arrows are a pretty common drop.
If you want 100+ arrows in 20 minutes or so, just take the route up the mountain to the Zora Kingdom. Each lizard drops oodles of them.

They patched that, actually. I think only the first five or so shots will actually stick in the ground for you to collect.
Damn. Which game was it where you could collect the arrows off your shield? (Stupidly open question, I know)

If you equip a wooden shield, take a few hits of arrows while blocking, then put the shield away the arrows stuck to it will add to your inventory.
