We haven't beaten any of the four Beasts, but we have entered into two of them and then warped out. We have revealed 100% of the world map and have about 13 heart containers and 1.6 stamina rings. Character is decently upgraded, wearing the "suit of armor" upgraded 2x by the great fairy to give +36 defense total. Lots of good meat and elixirs in our satchel. We have a bunch of Korok seeds but can't find where the big Korok seed-taker guy has run off to currently. We haven't beaten the Lost Woods yet or braved much of the Gerudo Desert.
I'd say my least favorite thing about the game so far is that the weapons break. I get a cool flame sword, use it to kill a few Moblins, and *ting!* it breaks. It makes me just not want to use any of the cool weapons we pick up. We have a few weapons with 45 attack power and we hoard them, terrified to use them lest they shatter.
Is there any weapon that never breaks? Is there any way to make weapons more durable or last forever?
The Master Sword never breaks, but it does lose its power if you use it too much against normal beasts instead of Ganon.
I beat the game this weekend when my son dared me to go to Hyrule Castle to find a cookbook on a side quest. And I have only been to about 60% of the shrines. I did beat all the divine beasts first. I think the puzzle of getting to all of the terminals is harder than the bosses at each one.
I finally figured out how to use the korok seeds after I beat the game, but I cheated with a google search. I had never found the big dude outside of town before. Not sure how I missed him, but I did power up my stamina wheel quite a bit at first so I can jump up mountains and glide most places... Not a good idea if you want to explore everything. I guess that is why I have only found 75 shrines or so.
I have 18 hearts, 2.25 stamina wheel, and imagine I have nearly all of the armor you can get. But there is another Great Fairy that wants 10,000 to help, and I haven't committed to that yet. I also haven't found the Gerudo tailor to send up north to help with the town.
