Think I got all towers finally at lunch today. Still a lot of underground map to complete but I'll just air bike that. Still need to visit Tarrey Town and the beach village. But I'm thinking about getting lost in some woods since some of you made it sound fun...
Anyone have a spare Tears of the Kingdom Link Amiibo they want to part with or are able to grab one out of a store without extra effort? I don't live in a place I could hit stores to get it. Online seems to be bleh still Amiibo-wise. Glad I have tons of Zelda Amiibos. The unlocks are pretty cool. The Twilight Princess paraglider is the best so far unlocked by Wilf Link and Midna.
I would pay list price plus shipping USPS to get one.
You can buy cards that apparently work as amiibos on ebay. I ordered them today myself actually. 32 Cards for like $20. Shipping is like a week. I obviously don't have them yet, but it was worth a risk for $20 to get Epona and the cool gliders. The Amiibos are just too damn hard to find. I searched for "Zelda Amiibo cards" and found them that way.

Like most iterations of the Lost Woods, you have to know the trick to it to not get, well, lost and kicked back to the entrance.
Vague hint:
Try to approach the problem from a different angle.
Specific hint:
Find the area right below the entrance in the underdark, and you'll find a place where you can use the elevate power all the way to the surface.
Yeah if you want a fake NFC amiibo, I can point you in the right direction, in private.
I've made my own collection of amiibo copies that I already own because it's much easier to scan and travel with. Took a stack to the beach with me last week. Even when I'm playing at home on the Fixture, most amiibo won't scan between the system and controller without big adjustment. So I am using my copies every day for Zelda.
But I assume he wanted the real thing? Good luck and going by the past, there will be restocks
If you have a phone with NFC capabilities, you can easily buy NFC cards/tokens and write Amiibos to them.
I buy the Amiibos I think are cool / can find. But don't have a lot of patience for game content locked behind buying a collectible I can't find or don't care about.

Thanks. I tried flying in while I was mapping the area and that didn't work. And I didn't see the normal southern entrance, so I was going to go back and explore all the sides...
Yeah, I just want a real Amiibo to add to the collection. 
Don't need it that bad, and I have enough Amiibos for plenty of extras. All the meat they give you is good to cook and sell.
Literally buying gold with real money. Nintendo, you sly dog.
Wish I would of known earlier. I saw a decent selection of Zelda amiibo when I visited the Nintendo Tokyo store last month and I totally would of picked up spares if I knew people wanted them. I got these three for myself (plus the lamp)
If you want more of my Zelda Japan pictures, you can find them here
I'm still missing Link's Awakening, Young Link and 8 Bit Link amiibo. Haven't used them in Totk yet since I can't be bothered to take them off the shelf and I like the early game feeling rough. 
I felt really stupid in the tutorial area since I spent around an hour trying to find a way into the cold area only to find out there was a way through the cave right there. I've also forgot I could fuse and use ascend multiple times so this bodes well.
Still really early game since I've only gone through 8 shrines and found 2 Dragon tear memories but I'm enjoying it.

I did the same exact thing, and now I'm ready to finish the game.
After completing the 4 temples, tracking down Master Kohga ended up being a great idea.
I'm really interested in watching a speedrun after finishing.
I am here taking photos, coming up with new recipes and cooking up a storm, handing out mushrooms to people and talking to everyone about their carrot growing.
How do you give mushrooms to people?

Keep playing, you'll get there eventually.
There's a side quest that involves giving mushrooms to specific people.
I took the tip from upthread to track down an ability to help with my bomb shortages, and got that next ability. I now have a couple of them, and now I'm trying to learn how to actually juggle them and use them at will. But the early returns are that it seems really useful.
And I'm finding myself spending a lot of time on sidequests; I've spent more time than I would have expected on the one where you do small beats at each Stable as a reporter, and the one where you are trying to take photos of ancient hylian notes for a dude in Kakariko Village that are just glimpses in the lives of the ancient kingdom. These pay well which helps a lot, but I find them all oddly compelling.
Yeah I can't stop doing stuff for everyone. Even though I have 10k rupees after the diamond duping. The money isn't the point, it's just fun and I have to complete stuff

With careful consideration given to set and setting, then chop them up and make a tea.
Wait..... wrong thread....
Bought a house yesterday. Then I had to build the thing haha.
How does Hudson construction build houses for people without magic gloves?
I had a good run this weekend in the southeast section of the map. Fought off the pirates who took over a town by taking full advantage of the drowning mechanic by knocking large enemies into the water. Made the whole encounter much easier than it should have been. Then I went to Eventide island, which was less interesting in this game than it was in BotW. Same strategy worked there as with the pirates, so I knocked enemies off high places to fall, or luring large enemies near the water then knocking them in.
But then something interesting happened when I was wrapping up the island:
I went into the depths there and did the coliseum challenge there, and got a Midna headpiece which reduces Gloom damage. I'm not sure what that has to say about the lore/timeline of the series. Or if it matters.
Anyway, now that I’ve gotten all but the western most sections of the map visible on the map, I’m going after the water temple next. I have some world-wide side quests I’m working on (Stables! Pictures of ancient text! Dragon Tears!), but I figure it may just be best to do them once I can see the whole map and have all the abilities before continuing so I can focus fire down the tasks later.

This was incredible.

I think:
It means nothing to the timeline? Seeing as there are armor and weapons, and paraglider skins from just about every Zelda game in here. I think it's just fun cosmetics.
I've stuck my nose in a couple Zelda discussion corners of the Internet lately. Near as anyone can tell, BotW and TotK don't actually fit in any of the 3 timelines. The only theory that seems to make sense is they're in an otherwise unexplored timeline created by the time travel that happens towards the end of Skyward Sword.
My take on it is this: whichever game I'm playing right now is true. If there's a reference to a game that's earlier in the series, the contents of that game are the legend or folk tale that sprang from whatever the real events were. (Obvious exceptions for games that are explicit sequels to other games, like Breath>Tears or Wind Waker>one or two of the DS ones.)
My take is that trying to introduce a logical timeline was a dumb idea. It is enough to just say they are all stories that take place in a world called Hyrule. The fact that they didn't decide to use a different name each time like Final Fantasy did was a bit of a mistake but trying to make a unified timeline is just impossible.
As I have been playing I keep hoping a story thing will happen - and maybe it will but I haven't seen it yet. I will spoiler just in case.
I wish we controlled Zelda in the past and she had to get the things in place in each kingdom so Link could find them in the future. It could have been a neat time travel parallel thing.
This all terrain unicycle looks amazing. It can cross mountainous terrain and water all while staying on the ground to observe details if you are looking for koroks and such instead of flying ever higher or faster if you try to get close to the ground.
That's funny, I tried the exact same thing minus the fan and couldn't get it to work... Must have needed that tiny extra bit of lift to keep it moving.
Wow it's a boat too

The original poster followed up talking about how the specifics and the finicky bits, so there's that, too.
Just finished the Fire Temple, which is a much more traditional dungeon than anything I've come across in either this or BotW, and it made me realize something: dungeons are the worst part of Zelda and have been for a long time.
I just do not care about this intricately crafted clockwork contraption of switches and tracks and levers, and I'm very grateful that large portions of it can now be bypassed by strapping a rocket to my shield.
All four temples down! I liked water best, fire least.
Last night, I encountered a quest that was very, very obviously a
Yiga Clan
ambush. Well, before taking the final step and triggering the ambush, I built a Zonai war machine (construct head + 2 beam emitters + homing cart chassis) and set it up on overwatch nearby. The results were outstanding. >:D
I can't remember the last time I felt so pleased with myself in a game...
I've played like 50 hours...
... I built a Zonai war machine (construct head....
The what?

and the WHAT?
