I did use the hoverbike in the Fire Temple but only because I was on the verge of throwing my switch into a blender. Fuck that temple

What? Zora dungeon was my favorite. The Goron dungeon was trash

It's just due to the combat slowing to a crawl in the Zora dungeon. Like it's already slowed down by the low gravity, but when you add in poor framerate it almost feels like trying to play a sideshow.

Thankfully it wasn't so bad in the upper right area and the boss fight.

Lightning Temple down. Why did they make the temple have a room right above another that allows you to skip the whole basement?

It's because it's a traditional Zelda dungeon.

I just finished the fire temple, that was a disappointment. Was expecting a whole bunch of cool cart puzzles, I got a few simple ones, and then a whole bunch of frustratingly finnicky puzzles using the goro roll power thing.

This game doesnt sound fun, but I might be misreading comments
I'm basically agreeing with the others, but it's only if you're trying to absolutely 100% the game. You don't need to and judging by the completion rewards the game doesn't expect most players to do so either. It's just a grind.

That said, the game's extremely fun if you play it at your own speed.

All but one shrine to go.

I actually stumbled upon the "5th" temple after only doing wind and fire, so I was waaaay ahead of the game when I got the one shrine near it, but there's a second one that I was gonna wait for until I got there the intended way.

Also I went to the sky sphere with the weighted button and spawned a bunch of zonai wings to weigh it down lol

Just tried it, and yes it causes the enemy to be affected by whatever element the shield has when they hit your shield. The gem doesn't break when the shield gets hit either, so you can use it until the shield itself breaks.

I don't think it really matters? If you're using the horse a lot to get around, it might be good to keep it on just so you can put koroks on it when you run into them.

I did it in a cheap way too. Went through most of it normally, but once the 2nd silver Lynel came out I just used an ancient arrowhead arrow on it.

Gleeoks are tough at first but you learn pretty quickly how to manage them.

I suggest practicing on the Frost Gleeok by the Hebra stable. Keese eyes and wings are super helpful in these fights.

Do Ancient Arrows penetrate armor? Or do you have to get rid of that first?

They completely eviscerate whatever you shoot, but you don't get drops.

Other than it looking stupid as its flopping about while riding the horse, it seems like leaving it on is generally most practical. You can attach Koroks directly to the wooden bar for a very easy and boring way of doing most of those puzzles. Also I don't think it actually decreases the horse's speed or anything.

I can't find some shrines. I've got all the light roots and I can only find 1 surface shrine that I haven't gotten yet. I should be missing 3 surface Shrines total but I just can't seem to find them on the map. This is annoying me to no end.

Found 1 more, just one to go

Finding all of the last caves was a massive pain and it was basically the only shrines that I had left. My best "non-spoiler hint" is to just look for any spot anywhere close to where the shrine is where there is a dip in the geography because it's almost assuredly a bunch of cave nonsense that has you stumped.

Yes. There are a couple of them that are off-center from each other, but they all have one.

RIP. I know that feeling. My actual final shrine was the one just to the left of the tutorial island. I felt so dumb realizing that I hadn't gone to that spot yet despite doing everything else.

When it comes to the towers with the flickering terminals, how are you even supposed to fix the terminals, and use the towers? I've seen maybe 3 towers like this.

Also, how are you supposed to get into the tower in the Wetlands area, with brambles over the entrace?

Figure them out, they're puzzles in the form of obtaining access.

If the Wetlands one is the one I'm thinking of - it's raining, maybe do something about that.

That wetlands one required a level of real world thinking I was quite ready for when I first came across it. Figured Id come back whenever the rain was gone and then it never let up
