I had issues with the gyro puzzles at first, I found that exiting them and starting the Game pad flat (or the same position as I left the puzzle) helped me a lot, they were super quick and easy after that.

I am sure it is the same thing on the switch, might not help you, but found it did for me.

Edit: Finished the second dungeon, it and the boss were far easier than the first.

I just hit 100 shrines and I've done both the Zora and Geruda dungeons. I'm doing the prep-work for the Goron dungeon, and I'm rapidly running out of unexplored space for shrines. Given how close I am I am definitely going to do all 120 before I do Ganon, but that might mean I find a map of all the shrine locations (so I can focus on solving whatever puzzle triggers them). Almost all my gear is at least level 2 (my Ancient Armor still needs me to do another couple runs of Ancient Gear farming) and about half is level 3. I haven't actually eaten anything for health recovery in ages; it's mostly Mipha's Grace and the occasional fairy that's keeping me going, not to mention all the shrine full refills.

Have you got the Master Sword yet, Popo? Or can you only get it right before facing Ganon?

The Master Sword works just like in Zelda 1: master using it and you can have it.

You need 13 hearts (food bonuses don't count) and to find your way through the Lost Woods.
Other than that, though, you can get it at any point after the Great Plateau.

I really wish I was better at finding shrines. I could really use the knowledge of another 10 shrines as I want that sword. Fed up with the breaking stuff. I'd just straight up use that thing and when it needs a recharge I'd throw down with a secondary for the time being.

I just noticed, does the shiny sparkle for items in the menus mean you haven't used them yet and they're still brand new?

I can probably see what you guys are getting at with the shrines a bit. It doesn't seem like I've discovered much at all in the NE area.

Also if you guys are low on arrows per usual... I've been going the path to the Zora dungeon and have 140 arrows now. lol

Nice, thanks for the tip. I have 13 hearts... :D

I think I'm finally getting Elixers down. Is it best to NOT mix up the monster parts among one another (as in only mix up one type of monster via various parts)? And do crabs not count as critters?
