Got the last guardian, so am ready I guess to go into the castle.

Currently trying to do as many of the shrines as I can, I'm at 95 or so and I think there's 120 of them.

Interesting discoveries.

If you hold a fire weapon, it increases the temperature around you even if it's just on your back. So you can equip a flame sword, then use some climbing gear and/or snow boots to make getting around the really cold areas quicker.

This also works for ice blocks! Instead of building a campfire next to a block I want to melt, now I just equip a flame sword and stand next to it. This was useful after I went through a series of quests that took like 100 wood total. Bombs work well for clear cutting forests.

If you're not great at reflecting guardian lasers, cutting off the seeker ones' legs works well too, you can usually manage to flip them over so you can bash them down without risk if you manage to get all the legs. The master sword works well for this.

Hearty Durians are the best food, cook one for a full hearts + 4 extra hearts buff. Cook more than one and you get more extra hearts buff. I cooked some with like 20 or something extra hearts buff but I really haven't used them yet.

Max out your stamina sooner rather than later, it does make the game more fun.

The speed buff from the stealth armor also makes the game more fun, I hardly use horses.
