I've been playing the Wii U version. The only performance problem I've had is slow load times when I'm traveling very quickly, e.g. when I warp into a settlement and run up to the general store, sometimes the game will freeze for a moment when I open the door, or I'll open the door and none of the objects will be loaded yet.

I do feel like there's a lot of control scheme issues, as well as some quality-of-life issues when you're in combat and break a weapon. The game could benefit quite a bit from auto-equipping the next weapon or shield, or at least giving Link the ability to punch a blin in the face to finish them off.

There are a couple other gripes I have with the game as well, but gripes aside, it's honestly an intensely fun game. It's gorgeous in ways it really doesn't have to be, fun despite every little flaw, and they've managed to include a fair bit of nice anti-frustration and anti-boredom features.

... do have to wonder. Any one know if someone's stocked themselves with stamina food, told the old dude to stuff it, and climbed down the side of the plateau? Haven't seen someone try it, yet, but it seems at least conceptually possible. Least from the perspective of someone that hasn't watched someone go over the edge.

I don't know about that.
I know I did something similar to get to the 2 shrines in the snowy region : went directly there without cold resistant food nor clothes, but simply ate apples and shrooms when I was low on health, and got to the shrines "easily".

Trying to climb Dow the starting area just auto fails you.
You might not even use all your stamina before you fall

Also stupid stealth mission.
There hard enough when I get an over head view. I might ditch the geroduo devi-wait could that considered be a spoiler? Well I think I might go see what the gorons need.

I just now ordered the game for the Wii U.
Might not get it before the end of this week or around the beginning of the next.

I fear I at the moment cannot afford a Switch just yet.
But I suppose when I eventually get the console, I will buy the game for it as well.

... will just kinda' throw it out there, but I'm pretty sure this'un has the best octoroks in the franchise. Possibly the most annoying and/or dangerous ones, too. Maybe not the best looking, but the fighty little artillery bastards are just kinda' great.

Forgot that was a thing.....

Also crazy thing happened last night.
Let me grab that post I made off discord

Here we go.

I fought a skeletal monster rideing a skeletal horse.
I was delighted to find that after slaying the rider the steed bore no hostility to me. I was like "wait can I ride this? I CAN!" so I run to the stable hopeing that a. the sun doesn't rise in time to kill it/it's immune to sunlight, and b. I can register it.
It seems like it's working, with the sky starting to glow but the horse no less undead.
Then I talk to the stable guy and he's like
"Looks like you got a new steed, wana register it"
And I'm like "YES"
And that's when he realizes I'm rideing an undead horse and says they can't board it because it might eat the other horses.
And I'm sad.
Then the sun rises just high enough to kill it and it squeals, throwing me off it it boefor fading away.
And I am amused.

Pro tip:

Hot damn! I will have to try that some time!

All this time, I was letting them suck in bombs and blowing them up instead, because I sure as shit was NOT going to waste shield durability on reflecting the rocks!

Shit, I am gonna dump a bunch of broken stuff in front of the eldin ones from now on!  :P

Now if somebody can figure out a way to get copious amounts of inexpensive arrows, I will be thrilled.

Does the Master Shield lose durability? Is there a Master Shield?

No. Link typically carries a hylian shield for most of the game, and Mirror Shield in games that have it in the last leg.

I have not found a mirror shield in the game (though I might later, only about halfway in), and there does not seem to be a good mechanic to use it anyway if there was.

Given that the special items from the divine beast quests suffer damage (and need replacement at absurd costs-- which I will never do again now-- I will go feed and destroy octos instead. :P )

I suppose I shoud share a neat discovery:

Elemental weapons have atmospheric effects when equipped.  EG, grand flame swords greatly reduce effects of cold on you when worn, and will even melt nearby iceblocks if you stand next to them with it equipped.  Similar with icerods and sources of heat (but death mountain is just too damned hot even still. needs flameproof effect.)

Hint: taking out explosive arrows on Death Mountain has a cool secret effect.
