Weeeeell...
Not sure if this is needed, but this is a completely unneeded summary of my recent progress
I recovered two of my memories and am now on the other side of Kakariko (that's how it's spelled, right?) Village in the Lanayru Wetlands. I am terrified of the Guardians, my goodness. Idk why. :/ Anyhoo, i just covered the first shrine you see closest to you just inside the  wetlands, and I'm headed to another one on the other side of the wetlands. Just found out it's covered in thorns, and I broke my fire rod a bit ago. Foo. Fire arrows work on the thorns, right? After this shrine, I've got another marked on my map that's behind some hills & right next to a tower (also marked). I talked to this person(?) in the wetlands who was swimming around in a small pool (name Talu?), and they said Prince Sidon is near the tower and wanting to speak to a Hyrulian. Provided I'm not thrown into some other adventure, I'll continue making my arc through this area on the map, hopefully eventually reaching the village to receive more info on the Divine Beast there. I've been practising the strategy of shrine-hopping in hopes that I can establish a method of fast-travel throughout this area, as I have not yet obtained the map from the tower.

Getting distracted is frustratingly easy

So I was doing the shrine quest on eventide island and I suddenly got a game over out of nowhere while trying to get the third sphere (I managed to kill the hinox without dying but somehow I die anyway...) and it transported me all the way back to the shrine in gerudo that you can't do because someone is blocking the tray thing
Great way to make me turn off the game right there

 You can warp all the way to the island before that island you know

 Also, you dying is hardly the games fault. Save often and git gud

The fact that it didn't autosave at any point during that
Man, I rely on that feature

I'm so OCD about saving, so I don't have to deal with it that much. Also, I forgot to mention I found a fairy in the wetlands :D

I figured I'd eventually chime in about BotW lol so here I am!

I am absolutely loving the game so far, it's definitely one of my favorite Zeldas, if not my favorite. It does have a few annoyances but they're pretty minor overall. I love just how open and free the whole game is.

Anyway, as far as progress goes, I have taken care of all 4 divine beats and somehow found 93 shrines lol. Maybe I've been playing too much, who knows lol. I have not beaten Ganon yet though, I'm probably gonna save that for later, after I get a lot more stuff. Also, speaking of fairies, I recently found one in

the Gerudo Desert, although it's pretty tricky to find.

Having your little brother constantly ahead of you does have its perks.  I found all 4 fairies and he told me where the hylian shield is

Also, my complaints about breaking weapons is no longer an issue.  Weapons that you find respawn during a blood moon so you just Mark it on your map and it's all good

I mean, that right there makes a better tip than "cook food lul" right

I thought I was making decent progress on the game, then when I beat Ganon I saw that I was apparently only 19.89% done with everything in the game.
RIP my free time...

I'm also really addicted to the Hinox and Talus battle themes xD
But so far my favorite boss (aside from Ganon) is probably
Spoiler
Master Kohga because after sneaking through the Yiga Clan hideout (aka Forsaken Fortress 2.0) I was expecting a serious boss, but nope I get a fat evil sheikah dude

I'm in the Mirro Shaz shrine rn (Tempered Power), and I got to the place where Mirro Shaz is, but the part after that, where you can try a more difficult version of the initial challenge, is driving me CRAZY. Is what's in the treasure chest even worth it? (Please no spoilers, but I want to know if I need to keep trying)

EDIT: On second thought, if you happen to know before I look it up, please tell me; if it's opal or some chintzy crap like that, I'll be leaving that shrine RATHER quickly.

EDIT^2:
For those who want to know...
...It's a Giant Ancient Core. What the heck do you even do with those???

I don't know if the chest is worth it unfortunately lol. I tried that second room but it frustrated me to no end, and I didnt feel like breaking all my club-like weapons so I just kinda left the shrine without the chest.

Definitely one of the hardest chests to get in the game.

You need to pick up the orb and set it down a bit to the left giving you a clear shot.  Then you charge a spin attack and if it's aimed properly it should fly right into the hole.  Took me a few tries for sure.

Please don't remind me of that torture! I think I spent half an hour in that shrine and wasted about 5 weapons...

It loses its novelty quickly.  All the divine beasts are more or less the same
