Thankfully, you can buy armour that makes you resistant to the cold! Unfortunately it costs an arm and a leg. You can always gather some Spicy Peppers and cook 5 at a time for some excellent cold resistance.

I actually bought some cold resistant armor back in Kakariko Village, but it doesn't work against cold cold.

Am I missing a rune? I got the bombs, magnesis, statis and cryonis but the Sheikah Slate indicates there's another space for something but I'm not sure what.
 
When/how can you increase your capacity for carrying weapons?

Spoiler

You'll get that rune progressing through the story quests, and not far in either. It's less useful than you might think, fair warning.

Inventory space upgrades are done by collecting as many Korok seeds as possible and meeting Hestu. If you follow the path past Kakariko Bridge and up that hill towards the village, you'll find Hestu quite easily.

You'll find some later on that will do just that, don't worry. Although technically you just need two pieces of armor that have the "cold resistance" modifier, no matter what they are.

Finally snagged a copy today, using some money given to me by my brother to repay a debt.

 

I've only completed the Shrines on the Great Plateau and kind of started on the path the story directs you to. However, one pertinent question (probably not spoilers in the answer), but can you generally finish a shrine once you find it?

 

Also, this might be spoiler-ish...

Back to non-spoiler stuff, I also found my first Korok seed purely by accident. I'm going to try and not be consumed alive by this game, but we'll see how that turns out.

Yes,

You get the camera rune in Heteno Village. You can also unlock the amiibo rune in the settings. You can use your Wii U/Switch amiibos for extra items that fall out of the sky.

 

and as far as inventory:

 

Spoiler

You'll eventually find this weird broccoli guy. He wan'ts you to find Korok seeds for his maracas. When you find enough, you can get a few inventory upgrades for weapons/shields/bows.

Thanks for the info! I'm also kind of starting to wonder when I'll get something other than the basic outfit; but I guess I'm just not far enough in for that yet. The main area looks bigger than it feels playing it for whatever reason.

 

Spoiler

By far the funniest thing that's happened to me so far was the reaction of the lady on the sandbar who doesn't want you to step on the flowers if you fail her quest too many times. Even though it left me near dead, it was still hilarious.

 

One final note... nothing is quite as satisfying as

 

Spoiler

whipping out a fire arrow and detonating an explosive canister at a distance, decimating an entire horde of enemies at once.

 

I'll probably be getting back to it again tomorrow.

You should be close to more outfit options at this point.

[Nicholas Steel]

In regards to Shrines, none require anything that isn't also found in the Shrine it self. Some Shrines may involve hitting stuff with a weapon and these Shrines will not provide an infinite supply of disposable weaponry so you may end up having to leave them if the provided weaponry breaks, in order to seek out some easy to find disposable weaponry to complete them.

 

In regards to where to get Cold defense:

Spoiler

Rito Village has a clothing shop.

Is it just me, or is this game remarkably stingy with actual rupees? I'm reluctant to sell my goods, since I don't know when I might need them.

 

I also have been using a technique I call freefall-paragliding to make it down from heights I might not necessarily be able to otherwise. Basically, I'm putting it away while gliding, falling a bit and bringing it back out. As long as I'm gliding before I get to the ground, I'm okay.

Actually, you don't need anything but food in the materials area (Except monster parts for the very few elixirs you'll need to make.) I find it easy to get rupees from selling a crap load of low-value items (Like chu jellies or boko horns.)

You'll want to keep materials if you plan on upgrading your armor though. That's a thing you can do, but if you haven't discovered it yet, I won't tell you how.

[MarinaraSauce]

Just realized I basically dropped off this site completely for the last month-ish 

 

I'm finally at a point (in the post-game now) where I'm actually looking at information about the game because I feel like there isn't really anything left to spoil anymore. I gotta say, this game feels like it hits a sweet spot that very few games have been able to get even near. Every inch of feels like a player was meant to go through it, but the whole thing feels natural. Normally, game worlds fall into one of two camps; there's the Skyrim camp where the world feels natural but exploring it isn't especially interesting, and there's the Skyward Sword camp where the world basically just feels like an obstacle course. Breath of the Wild totally nails the middle and you can tell that every second of its year-and-a-half delay was put to good use.

By far the best way I've discovered to get money is hunting lynels. Their materials all sell for a decent price and there's only one set of armor that uses them for upgrades, and they'll usually drop a full weapon/bow/shield set as well. My map is dotted with stamps denoting the locations of every lynel I've found and whenever I get bored I go bash a few of their skulls in. Only problem is that they're kinda tough, but once you learn the perfect-dodge windows for their attacks they actually become pretty fun to fight.

Finally in the Yiga Clan base. Man, they like bananas. Also, In the week and a half I've been playing, I've played a total of 65+ hours.

[ywkls]

I've still not invested in any armor, though I have run across a few places that sell it. Mostly because I feel I'm still too early in the game to bother. The other reason is because I seem to have nearly infinite space for materials/ingredients/food. If this isn't so, please tell me.

 

Also...

 

Spoiler

Exactly how far away can the Guardians detect you? I was a fairly good distance and one still managed to see me. I ducked behind a pillar, waited for it to get bored and move off; then went on.

 

I'm actually finding it easier to get around on foot than a horse, since I have some trouble turning them.

 

Final thought...

 

Anybody else get chills when they started the game and heard that opening melody before you even start playing?

Food has a 3 page limit but the Materials are unlimited in a sense where you can hold 999 of every material in the game if you wanted to. Armor also has a limit of 5 pages I think. Just fyi.

 

You'll want to buy and upgrade your armor too. Without decent armor a good majority of enemies simply one shot you and don't give you a chance to heal.

Good to know. I'm aware of how the weapon capacity upgrades work, but what about armor? Or is it always the same (you can always carry the max amount)?

 

On food, at the moment I usually run out unless I stock up ahead of time.

On armor...

Spoiler

If you discover a Great Fairy, she'll upgrade your armor pieces for you using certain materials. There are four total, and you get to upgrade to another tier per Great Fairy found. Make sure you have lots of rupees though...
