If you havent explored the whole map I get why you wouldnt know necessarily. But if you have the whole map explored there are only 2 heavuly wooded areas in the game.

All I remember from my last encounter with him (like 30 hours ago) is that he said he remembered where his forest is. No actual directions on how to get there.

70 hours and you haven't met Hetsu? Jeezzzz.

Err... you really haven't met him yet? You may wanna get on that, it helps immensely.
Maybe you had to talk to him once more to get the info? I remember vividly him saying to follow Hylia River north because that's what I did right after talking to him.
Even Hetsu has to be put in spoilers now lol?
He's on the road right before

Eh better safe than sorry right? It's not like it's hard to tag or click to see it.

I don't know how you miss
unless you took a real roundabout way to Kakariko.
Hetsu
Took me 50 hours to eventually stumble upon him. Super easy to miss if you didn't start out following the roads everywhere.
Also took me ages to finally get to THE forest. Originally entered from a different spot and ended up in some pitch black forest with a shrine and figured that was the extent of it.

Well Zedark here might just not remember the character's name.

You'd be surprised how many people head straight for the yellow marker and parlour it over the mountains instead of doing what the Old Man says.
I missed him early on also. Didn't really follow the main road from the get go.

I'm pretty sure there's a spoiler thread where you can discuss whatever you want. The game isn't even a month old and not everyone who wanted a switch has been able to get one yet.

I think his name is actually
Hestu
Hetsu
No need to feel anxious!
If you absolutely need to encounter someone, you will find them by following recommended paths in the game. Even still, you will find you discover plenty of useful people, places and things just naturally.I didn't meet Hetsu until like 40 hours into the game. Did Gerudo Desert and Zora's Domain first, the only reason I even made my way towards Kakariko is that I found Hateno and its

So this is pretty new information for me 80+ hours in and now I need to find this
I was confused also so I typed the way everyone was spelling it into Google and it brought up BOTW so I thought I was wrong, so I'm glad you said something because I was thinking "oh that sound makes more sense in Japanese, I guess I really did have it wrong." So, thank you for pointing this out!
It's not real, sorry.
I mean... What would that name even mean to someone who hasn't met him yet though?
Same thing for many of the locations, though at least that makes more sense regarding some of them, like a certain island for example.
Well, I scaled the dueling peaks and flew to Kakariko village from there, so I think that qualifies.
I met him, but was like "Screw this side quest for now."
And kept going, i went back like 80 hours later.

Finding out that the character's name is Hestu and not Hetsu and that basically everything written about BotW on the internet is collectively wrong is crazy.
I kind of can't believe it.
I kind of can't believe it.
Oh my...
Seriously. It's not like you spoiled how you meet Medli in the afterlife when Link gets killed by Vaati and the reincarnated version of Zant in the grand finale where you get to play as Ganondorf who turned out to be the true hero after all this time resulting in a 4th timeline where Link reveals that he was pro-Hydra all along! People need to reeeeeelax.
I missed opportunity, no? :|
Especially since every U comes with an SD screen.
You can do it in the OG memory management as well, no? Aren't save states separate from add-on content?
My sorry ass glanced over the fact that I've yet to play SS. Damn.

Just played this on switch and yeah, it's a big improvement I'd say although it is true draw distance might have been reduced even further. Still, happy they patched it.
I didn't run into him for the first 70 hours either. Easy to miss in a map this large.
Well, I completed the game without encountering
Hestu, the Lost Woods or any of the dragons beyond seeing them from a distance

Honestly, with this particular game, discovery is like half the appeal to me. For instance, I was massively blown away when I first found a
great flameblade

Stone Talus
So I'd say give it ~6 months until we can assume everyone who wanted to stay away from any details in this game has played it.
Wait holy crap really?

That sounds pretty fair. It's just so interesting to see a game where literally EVERYTHING seems to be a spoiler. It's like Undertale all over again but x1000000.

Ah, that sucks. I don't think the frame rate is that bad in the game. I don't want more pop-in...

Awful that people are missing him. They get a worse gameplay experience due to
severely restricted inventory space

You can just disable wifi and play the game without the patch.
Glad to hear it. You will be very pleased with his service as the game goes on, though FWIW the cost does increase over time.
FWIW, there is more to that Skyward Sword spoiler than it sounds at face value if you haven't played the game, kinda. So, just try not to read any more and some surprises will surely still await you.
'Hetsu' is upsetting but I can't fault people for getting Kakariko wrong when it's spelled differently in like every game
The Bridge Of Eldin
I scale and then fly...
I missed SO MUCH along the roads at the start of the game.
I couldn't find Hetsu the second time and it drove me fucking nuts.
it's totally possible to use the other entrance to the village and miss the character. I remember that I had a tough time finding him the second time because I used the wrong entrance to the village

Why would that be a part of an iterative patch?

I've noticed now that on occasion when I ride my horse the
starts to play. I didn't notice this pre-patch, but it could be because I beat the game and now have a
hyrule theme
star by my save file.

It's the nighttime horse theme, been that way since the start.
