Current Status of my Breath of the Wild File on Nintendo Switch

Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch is the best video game I've played so far in my years of gaming. I started playing it in September 2017 and I am still making strides towards becoming better and finishing more of the game. I will probably not do everything that can be done in this game.

This is the status of my file (what I consider worth reporting) as of 10/7/2018:

Time: 310 hours

Main Quests Cleared: 20/20

Shrine Quests Cleared: 42/42

Side Quests Cleared: 89/90

Need to complete the Final Trials

Memories: All Recovered

Master Mode: Not Yet Attempted

Maxed Out Armor Sets:

BARBARIAN

CLIMBING GEAR

DESERT

FIERCE DEITY

FLAMEBREAKER

ANCIENT

HYLIAN

RADIANT

RUBBER

SNOWQUILL

SOLDIER’S

STEALTH

ZORA

The FLAMEBREAKER gave me a lot of trouble, due to the difficulties experienced trying to obtain Smotherwing Butterflies.

The FIERCE DEITY and BARBARIAN were also difficult, due to needing dragon parts. You need to gain an intimate understanding of where and when each of the three dragons appears, along with the best place to take shots at the dragons in order to get the parts you need.

Currently working on upgrading armor sets that require Star Fragments, which are exceptionally difficult to obtain quickly.

Korok Seeds: 442/900

After obtaining roughly 380 korok seeds, I used the map included with the Official Guide to help me locate enough to finish adding all the inventory slots. Inventory slots are maxed out at 441 seeds. I tried to find the seeds by just running around with the KOROK MASK, but even that was a very slow process. Even the guide barely sped things up, since you still have to solve the puzzle once you get in the vicinity of a seed.

Completion Percentage: 62.10% (out of 100%)

I would need to find the remainder of the korok seeds, along with the Talus and Hinox monsters I have not yet found. I only have the Molduga Medal in respect to monsters eliminated. There is no Lynel Medal, which I find strange.

I have defeated Ganon. Once you beat Ganon, the game ends and a Star is placed by your file. Everything you have done is saved and you're free to continue playing the game, except that Ganon needs to be defeated again. This is tremendously awesome, as it gives players an opportunity to discover more of the game without needing to start over completely. Due to the open world nature of the game, Ganon can be defeated rather quickly, without having experienced much of what the game has to offer. People that regret having rushed through the game are thus able to start over without losing any progress, should they decide to make a more thorough investigation of what the game has to offer. This is Very Smart game design.

About Me

I am made of particles, known as quarks and electrons, that are at least 13.72 billion years old. Although my body is very young, the constituents are very old and come and go as they please. It's astonishing that individuality exists when each one of us are made of the same basic parts. It's even more astonishing that self-awareness exists, since even objects as simple as paper clips are made of the same parts as human beings.

My body was here before I was born and it will be here after I die.

So while I am in this brief configuration known as life I try to learn as much as possible, since my personality enjoys it. My first fascination in this short life was dinosaurs; I won a Dinosaur Expert Award in kindergarten. For most of my childhood, I read about the Animal Kingdom. I also read more than 100 Choose Your Own Adventure books and numerous other young adult fiction from my school library. Since age 5, I have been reading at a sometimes voracious pace. I didn't start seriously reading science fiction until age 19, though.

My interest in politics is as great as my interest in professional sports and I drink alcohol as often as I get lung surgery. I am heterosexual, but I rarely date women and prefer to read a tale, rather than chase some tail.

Qool Quotes

"The brain, knowing that a person can't live forever in this world, rationalizes a future, or other-dimensional, world in which immortality is possible. In other words, religion is the earliest form of science fiction."
-Philip Jose Farmer (1977)

"Forget Jesus, the stars died so you could be born."
-Lawrence M. Krauss (2009)

"When you ask what are protons and electrons I ought to answer that this question is not a profitable one to ask and does not really have a meaning. The important thing about electrons and protons is not what they are but how they behave - how they move. I can describe the situation by comparing it to a game of chess. In chess, we have various chessmen, kings, knights, pawns and so on. If you ask what a chessmen is, the answer would be that it is a piece of wood, or a piece of ivory, or perhaps just a sign written on a paper, or anything whatever. It does not matter. Each chessmen has a characteristic way of moving and this is all that matters about it. The whole game of chess follows from this way of moving the various chessmen."
-Paul Dirac, Nobel Prize in Physics, 1933

"You will be astonished when I tell you what this curious play of carbon amounts to. A candle will burn some four, five, six, or seven hours. What, then, must be the daily amount of carbon going up into the air in the way of carbonic acid! What a quantity of carbon must go from each of us in respiration! What a wonderful change of carbon must take place under these circumstances of combustion or respiration! A man in twenty-four hours converts as much as seven ounces of carbon into carbonic acid; a milch cow will convert seventy ounces, and a horse seventy-nine ounces, solely by the act of respiration. That is, the horse in twenty-four hours burns seventy-nine ounces of charcoal, or carbon, in his organs of respiration to supply his natural warmth in this way, by the conversion of carbon, not in a free state, but in a state of combination. And what an extraordinary notion this gives us of the alterations going on in our atmosphere. As much as 5,000,000 pounds, or 548 tons, of carbonic acid is formed by respiration in London alone in twenty-four hours. And where does all this go? Up into the air."
-Michael Faraday (1860)

"In modern war, one individual can cause the destruction of hundreds of thousands of men, women and children. He could do so by pushing a button; he may not feel the emotional impact of what he is doing, since he does not see, does not know the people whom he kills; it is almost as if his act of pushing the button and their death had no real connection. The same man would probably be incapable of even slapping, not to speak of killing, a helpless person."
-Eric Fromm (1955)

“Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that people don’t have to experience it."
-Max Frisch

I may not seem like it, but I am a human.
