So...I accidentally beat the game. I was messing around the castle looking for a certain shield, and I stumbled into a room called the "sanctum", which kicked off the final fight (plus the blight form that I hadn't fought in one of the dungeons yet).

Feel free to AMA about ending spoilers. Obviously I started from the prior save and will be completing the game at a normal pace. I think Verb would consider even my impressions of the fight to be a spoiler, so that's what I've included below (and nothing else):

It's actually a lot of fun once you can tackle guardians pretty easily. There's a ton of great loot around.

Can confirm that

I think this game is further proof that there's no real Zelda timeline, and that it was an attempt to loosely connect the games, completely unnecessarily. Besides the few specifically connected games, it seems apparent that the games are only thematically connected.

I had this idea going in that the game would actually "converge" the three timelines somehow.

There is a reference to Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, and OoT in one of the memories, so the leading theory is that this is the future of TP, but the 10,000 years time gap and the Sheikah being some highly advanced civilization don't match anything in the previous timelines.

Okay so I did Zora's Domain first since it was closest. Since you're told to go to Hateno village before that. Then I thought maybe Death Mountain or the desert. Well the game is substantially harder now. Like I get destroyed constantly. Enemies take nearly all my health in one hit. What gives?

Invest in more hearts is all I can say. How many do you have?

Yeah there's one kind that gives you extra hearts right? Still. Maybe I need to buy better armor before anything else. I should also point out. And I just found this out. If you kill enemies a lot you'll see less of the regular colored ones and more of the tougher ones. And those are the ones I've been seeing in random spots. I can barely manage to take two out before everyone groups up and kills me.

Hopefully it's not a spoiler to say that the Rito village is the best place to start the journey.

I was about to tame a skeleton horse that I liberated from a skeleton Bokoblin, but it immediately perished when the sun came up.

Weird. I didn't notice a damage spike at all.

I couldn't stand that one because her VA is so awful. I'm surprised you tolerate it, since they're very anime-y and you seem to really dislike those voice actors too.

i mean yeah the VAing wasn't great, but that was whatever for me

i just love the characterization, especially of link, who is generally as non-character as you can be
