I've been playing through Breath of the Wild again, this time on the Switch. I started this playthrough about two weeks before Age of Calamity was announced, and now I'm determined to complete it 100% before AoC releases next month. On the Wii U, I completed the main story, beat every shrine and upgraded all armour sets, but I only did about half the sidequests and about a third of the Korok seeds. I didn't do many of the DLC quests either.
In this current playthrough, I selected Master Mode. My first goal was to get Revali's Gale. Afterwards, I went straight for the Hylian Shield in Hyrule Castle, then unlocked all the Towers to fill in the map. I completed the remaining three Divine Beasts & Calamity Ganon while not doing any of the shrines outside the Great Plateau; I solely used them as teleport points. The entire time, I only claimed one Korok seed as well, because I wanted to beat the game with an extremely limited inventory. It was a great fun going this far with only seven hearts (four Heart Containers from the bosses) and one stamina upgrade (from the Spirit Orbs acquired on the Great Plateau).
My next aim was to finally beat the Champion's Ballad for the first time. The Final Trial was trickier than I anticipated, but I managed it in the end. When that was done, I went back to each non-DLC shrine and walked away with 116 Spirit Orbs. Upgraded my Stamina Wheel all the way and filled in 28 Heart Containers, then grabbed the Master Sword. Next was the Trial of the Sword, which I had also never completed before. I defeated the Beginning Trial after about 20ish attempts, the Middle Trials on the first attempt, and the Final Trials on my fourth attempt. The Lizalfos room in the Beginning Trials was by far the most frustrating challenge in the game.
As of now, my playthrough has been a lot more sporadic. I have all the armour, and I'm working on upgrading all of it; I mostly only need Star Fragments at this point. I've done every sidequest too. I have 3 Korok Seeds (I got two of them by accident), and I'm planning to get the remaining 897 seeds as the very last thing I do. I thought it would be funny to ignore them until the very end.
