I was off it for a good long while, then I got the bug and bought it from Steam. All the good advice in this thread has made it a whole new game for me.

I love all the features on the Steam Workshop. I’ve modded the game mostly in its aesthetics. Now I can build pretty little villages AND raze them to the ground!

Overall, I think it's one of the better games I've played.  I love some of the character scripting-- how when I walk near a camp, the boss will grab his club and run to the fire to light it up before attacking me.  I also love (hate) how the walking guardians kite me-- I run up to bash them, and they scoot away just at the last moment and zap me.  Also. . . how the flying guardians kind of wobble in the wind, making it very hard for me to 1-shot them with an ancient arrow to the eye.

For the fliers I usually jump off something to get that slow-down effect. Much easier that way.

Soon you’ll be having Guardians for breakfast and Golden Lynels for supper.

Savage lionel bows with multishot and shock arrows, time dilated off horseback, into a two handed stasis ww.....everything just snowballs from there, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Ooh.  My son has been using that effect whenever he flies out from a tower, just cuz.  But it hadn't occurred to me to use it for that purpose.  Will definitely try that today!

It takes -some- of the fun out of it, like figuring out "the move" in any other game.

I just finished my first Divine Beast quest-- the big camel one.  I went in there with too little food, and not many arrows, and only a couple of good weapons.  The puzzle took me a long time-- like more than an hour for sure.  Then, I think I'm finished, and this freaking lightning dude comes in.  It took me about 20 tries to realize that the way to beat his 2nd stage was to bust his shield by throwing my best Ancient Weapons at him (I cried a little) and then doing that flying aim trick and nuking him with bomb arrows.  (I didn't have any ancient ones).

I gotta say-- the shrine quests in general are freaking amazing.  Like. . . you could make a game with nothing but the shrine quests lined up, and it would still be one of the best games I've played.

About those ancient weapons, whenever there’s a blood moon the shrines with tests of strength get reset—you can badically farm them for ancient weapons. I have all the Major ones marked on my map so I can sweep through them whenever I need more ancient weapons.

Zelda thread ftw!

There are also decent farmable weapon spawns either on top of towers or within glide range of towers.  The royal claymore on top of woodland tower.  The gerudo tower cache under the mountain to the west on the plateau directly north.  The great thunderblade on a similar n/w glide off tabantha tower.  The great flameblades in the labyrinth, to the island in the lake west of hyrule tower, and at the great skeleton west of gut check rock...where you can mass rupees with a fun minigame and the climbers gear/stam build/stam consumables.

My usual reset run, from scratch, is farming durians off faron tower to make mighty and hearty fruit, then looting the weapon spawns above and using those to start the shrine guardian chain farm or lionels. When I've crushed all of that, I farm rupees and ancient arrow mats, sometimes hitting the streams for stamfish, until the next reset.

If I want to do something for the lelz, grab the hyrule shield and reflect the guardians stupid eyebeam, and/or hunt for the perfect horse.
