Yeah there are, I actually learned about that earlier from this thread (I think).
You only need to not have a shirt on to be considered "naked".
Oh, that probably explains it... I'm at 450 now, still finding those on a regular basis, but I can see myself running out of ideas soon.I said at least one, because I only remember one needing it. I might have not come across the others you speak of yet. I have found around 115 seeds. Almost 800 more to go
And I still haven't seen the ones where you need
a horse

Does anyone knows a person with all Korok seeds? im asking because as i gater more and more i tend to see less of the bird flocks flying in a V formation. So i wonder if they have something to do with Korok seeds near an area or is just coincidence.
Btw, in case anyone is interested i kept updating the post i made in the previous page. Have various other ones to add but my memory is a bit hazy with the details, will do so when i have some free time.
Oh and about the IGN list, yes, all those details are listed in this thread in one place or the other. Including the Egg one Naked Snake was wondering about XD

My co-worker got all 900. I actually watched him get most of them, including the last one.
I don't think he looked for birds, though.
I have all 900. Birds are for Shrines, not Korok Seeds. Since there's like...
22-24
I hate the 3 Tree ones since the Apples take forever to respawn.
Whoa, it's creepy!

Not what i meant. Let me try again...
Some times when looking at the sky, you' ll notcie birds flying in V shape. For example, like the migrating ducks in real life. As i have been progresing through the game i notice them appearing less and less.
So i was wondering if they work as a signal to indicate that there might be unsolved Korok puzzles in the area they are flying. Just like Rainbow birds marked a temple spot or a flock of seagulls marked a fish bank in the sea.
This is why i wanted to know if a person with the 900 Korok seeds sees the V bird formation in the sky in it 900 Korok complete file. Is weird that you can even mark them with the Sheika slate and the pin will be in mid air. The birds on top of temples can't be marked for example.
Hope i was more clear this time.

I have been paying attention whenever I see the V formation birds (since I read about your speculation regarding them earlier in the thread). Like I would check the map to see if I found a Korok seed in the direction they are flying, and on some occasions there was indeed a korok seed marked on my map, so I assumed they still show up for discovered seeds (if they are indeed an indication to begin with). But you saying you've been seeing less and less of them points to me likely being wrong... Or the whole hypothesis is wrong
Wait, rainbow birds? Temples? What?

Since i' ve only enter shrines once the names elude me, with that said:
i think the shrine is in the thunder thundra the place with the dragon blood trees.
the temple where it's always raining and you need to find a way to transport the orbs
As for the other temples, it is known that usually there are flock of birds flying on top of some of them. However, these birds are not interactive, they just seem like sprites. The Rainbow birds on the other hand are rather delicious, remember doing a Revalis gails and going all matrix with them in mid are. Dozens and dozens of bird sticks, some much i opened the first KFC franxhize in Hyrule/.

Oh ok so by temples you meant shrines. I thought you were talking about something else.
I haven't been deep into the thunder tundra yet, just got the tower on its outskirts and then got distracted and went somewhere else.

Eh? I thought sneak attacking was the ONLY way of clearing the Yiga clan hideout? How did you pass that area? Lol

You can stealth your way through tbh. That's lots of rupees there though. Killing them is a better idea.
W H A T. This was something I wanted to do many times through the game. How could I have missed this!?

I kept on getting noticed on purpose, roping all of the combatants back into the opening area, and killing them all without getting hit once. Worked great!
No, but there's no reason to believe they're different from any other enemy.
Unless you never figured out you could sneak attack enemies as a whole.
I would just expect the weapon throw button to throw whatever you're holding if you're holding something.
I haven't read the whole thread but here are some things I haven't seen posted:
If you kick a treasure chest open while barefoot, Link will stub his toe and grab it in pain.
You can chop down a tree and push it into a river for a log ride. If you want to stop it, just use cryonis under it, or you can use cryonis to easily tilt or push it in directions you want to go. While log-riding, you can easily grab fish and find treasure chests. Some rivers are faster than others.
If you have a ton of octo balloons, you can float extremely high (basically as high as possible) on objects by using balloons on them. Someone mentioned floating on objects, but I experimented and got higher in the sky than I thought I could. Balloons don't last very long before they pop so you have to keep dropping new balloons on the object. To keep the object flat, first use stasis on it, then place balloons around it so it stays flat. While it floats up, keep placing balloons. You can do it on a tree trunk, black stone slabs that cover koroks and chests, boulders, rafts and other stuff. And yes, you can blow them around with the korok leaf, but you don't have a lot of time since the balloons don't last very long. For me, boulders are the easiest to ride on, and you can basically float as high as you want if you have enough balloons. I know you can use a mine cart to fly too, I just thought this was interesting.
After chopping trees, you can freeze them before they hit the ground, and then place balloons on them. They will float up with all of their leaves and branches on them. They won't lose their leaves and branches until they hit the ground.
You can carry bokoblin heads into towns where enemies don't normally appear to scare villagers.

a sword has no health.
zelda rule: not at full health = no sword beam / at full health = sword beam

Just you.
mentioned on the last page and ancient discovery anyway
sneak attack is a basic game mechanic. does it need to tell you?
what you need to know is either in the main UI or in the load screen tips.

Got to 110 shrines so far, without the sensor or any help outside the game. A few about-to-be shrine pedestals are head scratchers.
200+ hours of play. 0.o A first/most for any game I've played, at least of recent memory.
My main goal was finishing the main quest, and as much side quests and shrines without a guide/walkthrough.

Hey, you probably want to post general Zelda talk in the OT which this is not.

Woops sorry about that.

argh!!
damn this meta game.
but thank god for this thread. making my zelda experience an immediately three dimensional one. and of course thank nintendo.
edit: oh that post? I saw it. he uses a torch. I'm talking about if your torch is foolishly tossed away for a burning kurok spear instead. even if you're in the dark, you can still follow those little white floaters.
i was panicking and just happened to look up and the sky actually made the whole lost woods thing seem serene. other than the invisible witch that was going to eat me.
You don't have to 'dive', you can just glide into the circle.

Heh, while Im sure some of you know this I just found this out today when talking to paya. The whereabouts of her birthmark are eventually revealed.

Not really.
And while I like the load screen tips it's also not a good idea to bury the explanation for your game's systems there.

I personally believe (and this is probably the popular opinion as well) that the game is designed in such a way as for the player to organically find all the information they need in order to progress. The whole mechanic about throwing stuff instead of merely dropping them in front of Link's feet is not that important or useful anyway. Besides that, it can lead to some interesting experimentation with the mechanics (stasis on items, hitting them with a sword, un-stasis them and there you go! stuff flying towards the enemies).
To me, it's a very difficult - and very rare - achievement and Nintendo managed to deliver on that front (as well as in many others of course).

Yeah over-tutorializing was what made me stop playing Zelda (at Twilight Princess)... I even completely dismissed BotW until a couple of months before release because I assumed it would be the same old Zelda formula that I'm tired of, and was very delighted to learn that Nintendo have fixed everything I hated about the series.
Awesome. Yea, I thought it was amazing how they're just there. I first encountered one in the southern region. Thought I was seeing things when I was scanning the area for Shrines.
Useless reply.

Speaking of Yiga Clan, after the stealth section is done, go back into the hideout. In the second room (the one which had most guards) there are some nice orbs, but also an entrance to a secret room. You have to burn down one of the big "flags" on the wall (as in the entrance of the hideout). 600 rupees in there

Oh, something I found out last night, I haven't seen it here yet: Wherever you leave your horse in the game, you can have any stable bring it back in an instant!
