I farmed Naydra's drops by standing on the mountains by the East Gate near Mount Lanayru around midnight, while I got Dinraal by waiting at the ridge outside the Forgotten Temple on the west side of the map at about 03:00.

Is that not the hardest one?
Rito and Zora seemed the easiest to me.

My order was

Zora, Gerudo, Rito, Goron. I found the Gerudo one to be the easiest actually. The Rito one was the easiest I found.

Does anyone know how much Zelda for switch is on Eshop? I'm buying a switch tomorrow but GameStop here and Argos haven't got ZeLDA in stock

nairy hipples · 21-03-2017 6:22pm

Its €69.99 unfortunately.

Its $60 on the American eShop if you wanna buy it there... Just be careful re downloading from American eShop as I think that means you'll have to purchase the DLC there too (if you so choose)

Edit: You can buy it on CDKeys for €65

I regularly sell gems to Beedle, where he has all that cash on him to pay out is beyond me.

I don't buy arrows anymore, I warp to Zora Kingdom and glide down that winding road until I reach the Lizalfo sections. Going through there regularly nets me 50-60 arrows easily (and sometime a bit more) with almost no effort as they are all looking the other way.

I read a good glitch to earn as many arrows as you want. When you see a bunch of bokoblins on horseback, turn the camera so it's overhead. They keep shooting arrows at you but bizarrely feck all hit. I racked up 400 with a heart taken from damage!

So I emailed about my missing Zelda, and Amazon are sending out a replacement on the 24th (maybe they have to wait until then for it to be back in stock first). To arrive between the 25th and 27th, so only one more week. But going by the comments on this thread alone, it should be worth the (extended) wait.

*sniff*. Finished it. *sniff*

Irishbrick · 22-03-2017 12:35am

Is there somewhere to buy or mine ancient gear?

Banjo · 22-03-2017 1:14am

There's a merchant on the way to Hateno who sells them, but you usually run into him in front of a bunch of scavengable wrecks

There are loads of wrecks that give gears and screws. You'll end up with loads anyway once you get strong enough to take on guardians and once you go through shrine quests.

Thats my problem, I'm over a 100 shrines in, two beats done and still a shortage of ancient gear, have loads of the others (screws, shafts) but gears are elusive as hell for me!

Have you taken down many of the guardians around the Hyrule Castle area? They have loads of gears generally. My shortage is for cores generally. They only seem to drop one in four.

Star Lord · 22-03-2017 9:03am

The mobile guardians seem to drop gears way more than the stationary ones, in my experience at least!

Irishbrick · 22-03-2017 9:40am

Yeah I've taken down a few of them, ill go back hunting at the castle later
What an absolute gem of a game, it's amazing!

chrislad · 22-03-2017 9:57am

If you can, hack off their legs. Each leg drops some ancient gear too.

RobbingBandit · 22-03-2017 10:21am

God damn just used toon link got the Boomerang and got hacked down by a moblin before saving, damn amiibo has been used now so tomorrow I need to try again.

Pee 'd off I passed up loads of cheap zelda amiibos in the past 6 months am going to Argos to pay €15 for ganondorf and he's €5 in smyths or €8 in cex but none near me, I know 2 people with the full zelda sets bought as dust gatherers on top of their wardrobes or on a shelf.

RobbingBandit · 22-03-2017 10:24am

Do the smaller guardians respawn in the shrines, there is one right beside the stables where I got a spear gear and shaft from the guardian I killed. Haven't been back yet but if these items are so few and far between it might be worth going back.

They told me that BOTW is unavailable from their suppliers. Ended up getting a refund.

I have a copy on the way from The Game Collection now. Tenner more expensive but such is life.

fixXxer · 22-03-2017 10:30am

I've been playing for ages and I've just got my Sheika slate repaired the weird little old lady girl. Must be about half way through by now?

Banjo · 22-03-2017 10:36am

in walkthrough terms, I think you're about 3 steps from completing the tutorial and starting the main game proper. Welcome to Hyrule!

Amazon told you that? That's crazy! Yesterday it was on the website as "in stock on March 25" in orange, and right now it's "in stock" in green.
Edit: my re-order has been updated to Dispatching Now.

Yes they said it was available from 3rd party suppliers but they were unable to source it from them directly. Strange one alright.

wexdevil · 22-03-2017 11:39am

Finally got the last piece of the twilight princess clothing from the link amiibo, now to see if I can get the others

fixXxer · 22-03-2017 11:40am

Is there a place people can get amiibos from without paying through the nose?

I believe they respawn with the <eerie voice>BLOOD MOOOOOOOOOOOON</eerie voice>

So, finished the final fight last night. Over 65 hours of play time and loved every minute.

I decided to load up the post final fight save and check my complete perentage, after doing:

All shrines
All divine beasts
All memories
maybe 100 korok seeds
Not sure how many side quests
All story quests and Ganon

And my completion percentage is... drum roll...

25.6%

For the remaining percentage,

the 900 kook seeds are worth about 72% of completion apparently, and a few percent for visiting some locations

:eek::eek:

Yeah, it's a big f-no to all those

seeds

from me.

END FIGHT SPOILERS SO DON'T OPEN IF YOU HAVEN'T CLEARED IT OR DONE ALL SHRINES ETC

I found the end very, very easy. I had the master sword, full hearts, and stamina, as well as all the divine beast, and I upgraded fully the whole Tunic/Cap/Pants of the Wild set (which was 94 armour in total). I breezed through Hyrule Castle, killing at whim. Ganon was a pushover, especially when the Divine Beasts took half his health. The last part was cool, but really, really easy to beat him. Don't get me wrong, I loved the game, but it probably would have been a challenge if I hadn't collected everything else!!!

Yes, I agree.
