Any tips for BOTW

Been playing it lately and I’m wondering what tips anyone could give me for it I know I need around 14hearts to draw the master sword (the only unbreakable in the game lol) but other then that I don’t know what shrines to hit up for the 20 orbs I need

Learn how to tight the Talos monsters. Mark their locations on your map. Farm them after every Blood Moon for fairly consistent Gem drops. Special arrows are expensive.
On that note: mark on your map every time you meet any kind of Mini-Boss or spot where one of your more preferred weapons can be found.

I’ve not met a talks monster but I did kill one of the centaur things earlier was not easy as I’m severely under levelled though I’ve beaten the desert and water boss already but defo looking for easy shrines for the orbs so I can get 14hearts for the master sword i looked up is there any unbreakable weapons and the master swords the only one

Two things you want to become exceptionally good at: shield strike and archery. Better than selling gems from the talus monsters is farming meat in Hebra. It respawns much faster, on the rate of walk away and come back rather than wait for blood moon. You can gather the meat from anywhere, but hebra is high quality stuff. Dump the meat into a wok in big piles, you will make cash like crazy. Headshots on animals is a one hit kill, so practice with those arrows.

You may be wondering how to heal effectively with no meat. One word: hearty. Dump a single hearty truffle, hearty radish, hearty salmon or anything else with bonus hearts as an effect into a wok. Just one, any quality. Full heal plus.

Lastly, perfect block. A good player can use this to assault Hyrule Castle right away, with a simple boko shield. The stationary guardians fire their beam, and you smack it right back. One hit is all it takes to end them. Three for the moving ones. I forget how many for the artillery and flying ones. It also makes the lynels much more manageable.

Lastly, as a bonus tip, after every blood moon, return to any shrine that has a major test of strength. You will find inside some very nice weapons, usually a net gain. Almost all of them have Ancient Axe ++.

Oh, and blow up the rocks. Save your hammers for fighting taluses.

Wait they restock on the moons sweet I can use that right now since I have a bunch of shock arrows to use and the lighting power up move (the one from the desert boss) helps as well (does it increase in power the more stamina you have?) and if anyone knows locations of the easy or free shrines let me know oh and if anyone knows how to do the island shrine big help

[Kiernan]

Which island? Eventide?

[redsopine]

The one that takes your stuff I know throwing some powerful weapons onto it before hand can let you keep them but that’s about it

[Kiernan]

That's Eventide.

Not much I can say about Eventide. Best advice I can give is Cryonis for the beach, bombs for the hinox, Revali's gale and Urbosa's fury for the clifftop. Only way to do it is to just do it. Hard work, but satisfying to emerge from the other side.

And also throwing a ancient axe to bash the hinox

Are there any warp zones in the castle or near it because I’ve beaten the beast bosses and heading for Ganon but was gonna cheese it by stocking up on loads of fairies right before the fight

There's a shrine in the docking bay. If you don't mind the artillery fire, there are some waterfalls that lead up to the top that you can exploit to skip the climb if you have the Zora hauberk. Takes you from the moat right to the don jon.

I saw on a guide about that yer it’s cool but damn it’s a badass treat though hehe I am gonna grab as many fairies as I can to start as well as making hearty foods for extra hearts and buying bomb arrows

The first time I fought Calamity, I was asked how I still had weapons after the lynels, and my response was "What lynels?" Yeah. I wasn't following a guide, but I figured I'd check to see if there was a way up the wall. The tower's on the north side, and there'es a cliff behind it, so Revali's gale plus zora armor means I skip right over everything just by choosing not to walk in through the front door.

Only a idiot would walk into a trap or somone looking to make a good vid but thanks so gale then armour whats the best armour state currently I have 2 8 and a 5

[Kiernan]

5639960
I would use the ancient armor maxed out, barbarian armor maxed out, armor of the wild maxed out. Or whatever your largest defenses are in each piece.

[redsopine]

5639981
Where do I get them all I have high is travelers helmet champion tunic and the travelers trousers

[Kiernan]

5639983
Ancient Armor is from Robbie at Akkala, armor of the wild is your reward for all 120 shrines, and the barbarian armor is in the Lomei Labyrinths.

[redsopine]

5639994
How do I get into akkala? Do I need to activate the tower

[Kiernan]

Just northeast on the map. You can activate the tower if you wish, but it's not necessary. The Akkala lab where you can pick up the ancient armor is right next to one of the Labyrinths, too. The easiest one, actually.

Thanks

Oooooo here’s a challenge you have to do the no power up no armour and no master sword run straight to ganon

[Kiernan]

5640410
I may try that on my next run.

[redsopine]

Remember that also means you have to scavenge weapons and items and fight A 6 boss rush

[Kiernan]

5640525
I thought it was two? Calamity then Dark Beast? Are the four blights drawn in? I'll be honest, I haven't run that course.

[Kiernan]

5640525
Scavenging weapons and items, no problem. That's my signature move. Bushcraft is life.

[redsopine]

5640527
Yup and gaon is at full health because the divine beast’s don’t hit him so mossy of the fight he has the shield on be on your dodging and blocking game as your gonna be 1shot

But there’s a glitch for windblight if timed right you can shoot a arrow into its spawn point before triggering the cutscene and it does during the cutscene
