Please dont post spoilers! You may post spoiler free tips.

I finished the Plateau yesterday, I was having issues finding the last two (the ice one, and time stop) and explored the overworld. I got three Ancient Shrines done, thats about it. Also got the tree guy to upgrade my weapon carrying capacity x2. I got into Kakariko Village, and decided to stop for the evening.

It is fun, but I hate the durability system.

I think my main tip regarding the durability system is to just ignore it and just USE ALL THE WEAPONS.

Seriously, don't bother hoarding weapons in this because they hand them out literally everywhere.

I found that my enjoyment of the game increased immensely once I got out of the mindset of "gotta save this weapon for something stronger."

And that some of my most memorable moments were when I DID run out of weapons during a midboss/boss fight and had to improvise.

The durability system gets better. By better, I mean it gets to the point where youll have too many weapons. So, I wouldnt worry about it... Technically, it can be like that now. Though, all the weapons you get early on break quick. Oh. Read books and stuff if you see them. They have tips. Also, look at posters and stuff. Also tips... And talk to people. And have fun!

Blind playthrough means first time playing, knowing nothing on the game. I have managed avoiding spoilers and anything about the game.

Thats what I have been doing. I will sometimes use a weaker weapon on weaker weapons. But i always pickup and keep my inventory full. I am holding a torch, pretty much all the time, not sure if there is a super dark place that might need it. Also been keeping an axe for trees. I just killed my hammer, and found out i should have held it for ore farming.

Depends on your age. Kids my son's age just watch the "we play" on youtube first and then immediately turn to internet when they get stuck

It is coming more common.
Also blind playthrough, at least to me, are for games that have been out for 1 or more years, and you know little to nothing on the game. If the game is new, i dont consider it blind, as everyone is on the same level.
Also some games people do research of that is the optimal way to play.

so my blind playthrough of botw doesn't count as a blind playthrough because i played it within the first year of it coming out?

It depends. Blind usually means you know like nothing about the game. Some people research the game. Or know a little about it. Or have seen some of it...

Technically it would still be a blind playthrough, but the concept doesn't really mean as much when the game's brand new and there simply isn't that much information available on it yet. When everyone's blind, nobody is.

So I didnt really do much last night. Talked to Impa, got myself another heart container. Got myself a horse, named him Dusk. Didnt look like Epona, so didnt feel right naming him Epona.

Im not sure if its a spoiler, but Ill tag it and let someone else decide if its a spoiler or not...

With a certain Amiibo, you can get the real Epona... AFAIK, that is the only way to get her...

Epona has 4 stars for every category

Has Gentle personality

And her gallop is 1 second longer than regular horses.

Also, forgot to ask, do you have the season pass?

Nah, there's no horse with full 5 stars in every stat.

The generally accepted best horses are

2 Health
5 Speed
3 Stamina

5 Health
3 Speed
5 Stamina

4 Health
4 Speed
5 Stamina

And then there's 2 (maybe 3) special horses. Like the Giant horse, and Zelda's Horse. And there's also Link's default horse.

Check it out if you're interested.

It comes with a lot of pretty neat stuff.

Like a bunch of stuff to improve the QoL while you're playing the game.
