I discovered a new one tonight, which is when you find a set of 3 isolated fruit trees. Two of the tress will have a single fruit on in the same spot of the tree, and the 3rd will have lots of fruit. You need to remove the fruit that don't match.

Discovered another one a while back that I know I've missed is circles of rocks in the water 0 you need to throw a rock from the shore into those. There's normally plenty nearby.

Yeah, that one made me smile as a reference to getting the Quake Medallion in LttP. There's also the flower circle variants where you dive into them.

The ones that really got me were the statues with offering dishes, I did not realize til about twenty hours in that those are korok spots.

Wow, and all the strangely placed bundle of tree's I've seen in the game up to this point haha... at least now I know.

Honestly I feel pretty content with my inventory size as is. I think I have almost a full screen worth for weapons and then upgraded shield/bows a few times. At first I actually thought the Korok seed requirement was global across all inventories, if that makes sense... instead each specific inventory is its own limit, so it was really cheap to upgrade shield/bows a few times, even if it doesn't really feel necessary. I've been rocking the 40 Hyrule silver shield for ages now and often stumble upon a new one in a chest, so I swap them. Now that I'm getting unique bows though it's cool to have space for more.

If you're talking about the shrine that seems like it is under a mountain, the entrance is surprisingly far to the east.

The other shrine you might be talking about is indeed underneath where you're standing with the entrance extremely close by; it's a case of "too obvious".
Hm... I think it's your first hint for the one I'm looking for. I'll check this area again. The Shrine radar does seem a bit weird sometimes, so I figure it's not quite where it seems it should be.

Like I said, the entrance is shockingly far away from where the shrine radar makes you think it is. The radar is correct, as that's where the shrine itself is. It's just an extremely long cave.

Is that the one you can see through a crack in the wall, near some piers?

Speaking of the radar, that's one of the best features in this game in my opinion. I love being able to track down weapons and food stock just by logging them into the compendium. The Witcher 3 could have benefitted from this feature.

Nope, but I found that one yesterday. I've been using the diamond-esque stamp for shrines and it was kind of funny how much clean up I did last night on a few I couldn't find originally. Sometimes you just need to re-track some old areas and you instantly spot some peculiar paths or whatnot haha.

Also found the one Popo gave me a hint about. It's another one where you have to snowball a big boulder down some hills to bang down a huge door. I'm assuming that's the far off east entrance that leads to the shrine that looks like it's in the mountain in the NW. I actually ruined all the snowballs, so I marked the area and will go back. I'm guessing the snowballs will be back.

Okay so I have a Wii U concern, I don't know if it's this game or what but I've had numerous issues with the pro controller lately. Is there anyway to recaliberate the controller mid session? I've had the issue of the sticks "sticking" in some direction, usually turning the system off will reset it. But now... I just did another gyro dungeon that was very painful and when I went back to the pro controller, Link kept running backwards. So that became a puzzled trying to get up to the pedestal for the orb. You'd think I could have just hit the Wii U gamepad screen again to switch back to that, but it wasn't registering. Luckily I got the orb but I had to save and quit after that.

Yup, that's the one I'm talking about. And yes, the snowballs will respawn. I ruined all the snowballs from the other shrine that needs to roll (where there's a bunch of paths) because something I did caused all of them to start melting so I only got one try and picked wrong. The one you just got to was the first one I found and I thought it was the easy one, since there's just the one path.

@Xeogred
I use to have this problem all the time. You just hold A, B +, - all down for about 3-5 seconds and it should reset the calibration
