The proper way to deal with any Hinox with an orb is to glide onto him, pick up the orb, and just run. Avoid battle. Just steal it, and then bolt while Yakkety Sax plays in your head.

Is it possible to tell the Shrines that you've activated vs Shrines that you've got the Spirit Orb from somehow? They appear to be the same on my map though I may be missing some little detail somewhere. I know they show a Treasure Chest next to them if you got all the treasure inside which I guess is a close enough metric.

Also is it only possible to tell what % you are at after you beat the game? Mostly just curious to know how much I've done already but it's not a big deal.

Uncompleted shrine icons are orange.

I don't know if everyone saw this, since it's in Zelda's room in the castle, but I really like the cute explanation for why Link never talks in any of the cutscenes. It's not that he's mute, it's that he's nervous and worries too much about what people think of him/what he might say.

Silently taking on the burdens of the world around him is really apt.

So I have 75/76 side quests completed, and according to lists on the internet, the one I'm somehow missing is the original Find the Fairy Fountain quest. I apparently can't activate it anymore? Is it missable somehow?

Of course it is. Welp, I have no idea what I'm missing then. Time to travel forever!

While we're on the subject of Amiibos, there's no system that ties them to a particular console, right? So if I wanted to I could go to my friend who has a million amiibos and borrow the ones that affect the games I own?

Amiibos have "Mii owners" and that's it. My roommates and I trade around amiibos all the time.

How are so many people having issues with the Gerudo Stealth Mission™? I didn't even realize there was major penalties for getting caught, because I went across the top of the room and then shot an arrow at the ground to move one of the last people out of the way. It seemed really really easy.

EpicNemesis posted:

I just scaled the outside one shotting guardians. Is there anything noteworthy I missed? I was a little bummed out about how anticlimactic the castle was. I was so decked out with my gear that everything was a joke.

Mostly lore in the form of documents, powerful equipment, and the Hylian Shield. It's an incredible experience.

Damnit, now I need to figure out a way to hide a $70 purchase for a new controller from the wife :ninja:

And then figure out a way to have the kids not immediately rat me out for purchase of said new controller...

I saw the IGN recommendation of turning HUD to pro mode, which I did and I do like the full screen feel to it and it really does draw you more into the game I feel like.

Some colored DS4s were retailing at $65, and the Switch ProCon is a million times better than any controller I've ever used. It's a good investment.

I looked up the last two shrines I was missing and I feel bad because one of them was in a place I was gonna check out anyway, but I never would have found the other one because it was buried in a place I thought I had fully charted

There is something amazing about having, like, 116 shrines, suddenly having your Sheikah Slate point to one, and going "HOW AM I STILL FINDING AREAS I HAVEN'T EXPLORED?"

So more subpar dungeon's with subpar bosses? But we have the little shrine's to keep us going in between garbage everything breaking after 2 hits combat.

Calling it "open air" to make it sound like it's something different while it's not is so digustingly Nintendo it hurts. The retconing of Hyrule Historia is really funny though.

Freeze them, and then push them into water. They will drown and drop everything. It takes no effort and is great for farming.
