There are enemies on horses that can shoot arrows and you can pick as many as you want.
They placed a cap. Up to 20 before you can't pick them anymore from the same bokoblin

What happens if you try to pick up more?
Interesting. Well, it's not like it matters, by the time you're halfway through the game you're flush with enough cash to buy as many arrows as you want (or even earlier).
This cap has always been in place. From my experience it's far less than 20. They only leave a few arrows before they start disappear on impact.
It's not that uncomfortable at all though. At least if your intent is just running of course, if you want to use it in middle of combat it's certanly trickier

Oh really? So the patch changed nothing in that regard?

Were the enemies on horses? Sunday I collected over 100 arrows from two horseback boboklins so idk

Nintendo pioneering Placebo Patches. They do nothing, but people convince themselves the game is improved.
However, they didn't count on the digital hypochondriacs, who in the absence of notes insist things have worsened.

theres probably a faster way that involves
go to the little island next to eventids, theres a chest in the water. Open it to get 10 arrows, save, reload the game and the chest will be back in its spot with 10 more arrows in it. Rinse n repeat

That's not pleasant at all.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
How can it get any more pleasant?

Did they fix the moblin falling over stutter thing?

I think that fix is inevitable, but I hope they don't do anything to make that area look less beautiful because good lord, it looks like concept art come to life.
For those looking for arrows I actually found a way to get a decent amount of arrows fairly quickly very MINOR spoiler.
On the climb up the mountain to zoras domain you can combat a ton of lizard men and they all drop 5 arrows a piece or more, I always came away from this with a bunch of arrows. It's also a great fishing spot.

I found that chest a few days ago, hope it's not patched.

I just mine everything and end up with so much cash I buy arrows from every shop when I pass lol.

Smash hasn't exactly gotten a patch recently for there to be a change in how they do notes.
My guess would be that Nintendo has no company-wide standard for patch notes, so different dev teams are free to write however much they think is necessary. The Splatoon team in particular seems to understand what players of competitive multiplayer games need from patch notes, which is essentially everything lol.

But the main towns don't restock quick enough and it's a pain having to go see Beedle at all his different locations.

I'd rather then get rid of some of that grass if it means we'll get a smooth frame rate. I purposely avoid that forest because of the lag.

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
A lot of this is probably adressing C and D category bugs. Stuff only .5% of people playing might experience

NO. NEVER GET RID OF THE GRASS. It's ART!

This. The grass is just gorgeous to look and run through.

Performance is worth it to me.
I'm playing inside the Link to the Past art in the Korok forest. It's magic.
Huh, I've been playing through the game without using tricks for arrows and have never felt like it has been hard to get arrows if I need them.

Patch brought the game back up to a 98?

According to @NWPlayer123 on the twitters, all the update did was tweak
's AI, and something about save tracking.
Here's the tweet if you wanna see for yourself. Nothing interesting tbh

Overall yeah but I don't think it'd matter much if they just removed some from that forest.
I hope they at least fix the freezing by the time I pick the game back up/when all the dlc is available.

Yeah, same here. Currently got around 100 regular arrows on me, no tricks involved. Never ever felt difficult to get arrows.
I do this, its more entertaining anyways.

Booted it up and yeah, it feels way more pleasant now.

In my game, after clearing Eventide island, all I did was teleport to Hateno in order to leave a weapon in my house and teleport back to the island. I was surprised to find out that all the enemies (except the Hinox) and chests respawned. I never saved and reloaded during this. I wonder if this was a bug/glitch and if this was fixed in the latest patch. Will try it again when I get home to check.
The hills north of Kakariko, man. So good.
Yeah, I found it pretty easy to stock up also. I generally don't get the complaints about weapons breaking to easily, or arrow stores not restocking fast enough(spamming arrows maybe?). I feel like I'm always having a huge surplus of weapons, including several I left hanging around the map, marked by stamps.
Maybe years of survival games instilled in me the importance of conservation and making every item/weapon count. I would drop weapons during battle, just so I can pick up nearby weaker ones for the sole purpose of throwing for a critical hit. Admittedly, another reason for my ample supply is because I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to my battle strategy. I don't hesitate to reload a save file if I think a my strategy went haywire and caused me to use waaay too many items, weapons/strikes. Sometimes it makes some battles more challenging than they need to be, but the end result is quite gratifying. I even spoil myself from time to time and "let loose" on hapless baddies, so I can deplete some of my stock. I never imagined playing a Zelda game in this manner before, so it's really incredible that the game allows us to play pretty much how ever we want.

Encountered some Moblins. They still cause the game to hang for a second or so when you knock them down.
Come on, Nintendo.

My method too!
People are saying just buy them but I find the shops take a looong time to restock, so it's not that great. Well, I guess when you've unlocked/been to every shop it's decent, but when you don't have that many to buy from yet, not really.
