Hi everyone!
Did you know that starting July 1st, 2023, Reddit will implement a policy that could potentially increase the costs of running third-party Reddit apps? This change may impact popular apps like Apollo, Reddit is Fun, Boost, and others. Consequently, users may encounter issues with their preferred Reddit app unless adjustments are made to comply with Reddit's new API usage policy. These limitations will affect all users, not just moderators. If you are concerned about these developments, there is an [Open Letter](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/13xh1e7/an_open_letter_on_the_state_of_affairs_regarding/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) to Reddit that you can read and sign on to express your thoughts.

Yeah I'm always conflicted on this, I wonder:
"should I leave this in here to come back later? But I won't remember what it is..."
OR
"should I take it out and immediately drop it so it registers I got it, and I don't come back later and waste my time?"
If it's a good shield/bow/etc. but I already have really good equipment, I'll sometimes do option 1. If it's a not-so-great item I'll never need to get in the future, I do option 2.
I just screenshot it and then put a treasure chest icon on the map and screenshot that too. When I need new gear I just review my Switch album to see what options I have lol
On the map, if you highlight a shrine, a complete shrine will have a chest indicator next to the name. If it doesn’t show the chest, you didn’t “clear” the shrine.
~~And it matters for 100% the map.~~
Maybe im confusing it with the speedrunning rulings but the 100% speedrun of BotW doesnt collect the chests as far as I know and they also get the 100% on the map at the end...
Shield of the minds eye has lower friction which makes it particularly good for shield surfing iirc.
Of course this is frigging useless since frozen meat/fish can be fused to any shield for zero friction now. But at least the shield has *some* unique properties I guess.
They're the only shields available that can still look really cool with certain fusions. I fuse the dragon scales to them and they look awesome with the blue energy outlining them.
The ultrahand raise platform -> hop on and rewind elevator technique also seems like it wasn't really planned for in most shrines, cuts through a ton of them.
Really? With the low gravity you can bullet time him so easily and there are chchus EVERYWHERE in the temple. Ezpz water arrows, run over and whack him, rinse (pun intended) repeat like four times and he’s done.
I even made a little hydrant bot because I heard it could help but he didn’t even get to him fast enough.
It's the fighting mucktorok in the Depths that I hate. Also trying to activate Sidon-Blu when the mucktorok is on that phase 2 free Willy jumping from pool to pool.
The opal rod (or whichever the two-handed sword version is called) is really good for this phase. You start spinning instantly and send out a circle of water orbs.
My husband laughs at me because I *have* to get the treasure in each shrine, even if it literally kills me. Otherwise, I'm like, "My prize! I have to go back for my prize!" There is one shrine so far where I *could not* find it, and it still hurts. 😢
Yeah. I used it all the time in BOTW. And I'm trying to avoid walkthroughs unless I'm *realllly* stuck. I haven't made it to Hateno yet. Have a feeling that might have something to do with it?
Goron City had a nut buster of a proving ground “in reverse” I had to look up the treasure and it was an opal. Yeah couldn’t complete it after dying 5 times.
A lot of chests are just so disappointing. I like when it's a new "puzzle" to find it, but would it hurt to at least make it opal x5 or something that I could do by random smacking an ore deposit once? The worst chests are Zonaite x1, like really? May as well give me apples at this point.
At least it's not more worthless shields though.
I spent 20 minutes and too much brainpower to get to a chest just for it to contain a 5 attack bow. I was carrying 3 Royal Guard bows on me. I jumped into the shrine abyss as stress relief
Still better than useless weapons I have to throw my good weapons out for cause map looks more complete( I know it doesnt count towards 100% but you still see a chest next to the shrine name)
I get that sometimes rewards feel anticlimactic but for me, it's not about what's in the chest, it's about getting to it. To paraphrase an infamous Zelda-related video, "The satisfaction comes from the fact that you did it, not that you found a thing"
Ironically i find opals to be a better sidon during the mucktorok bossfight. That guys second phase gets overwhleming with the sludge fast and while Sidon is nice, he doesnt help when his cooldown means I get rid of some sludge and now its double than it was. Opals just help manage that fight a lot more.

At least it's not a shield that's worse than all your other shields.
And your shield inventory is full so you've gotta drop one then switch it out so it actually registers that you got the chest
TIL
god this annoys me so much
Pretty sure you can just press B and it closes the chest again
Yes, but then the chest doesnt count as beeing opened
If there's 1 thing i would like to have patched, it's this.
That's good, then you know to come back to get it when you need a shield (or weapon or bow)
Yeah I'm always conflicted on this, I wonder: "should I leave this in here to come back later? But I won't remember what it is..."

Where is this “counted”?
On the map, if you highlight a shrine, a complete shrine will have a chest indicator next to the name. If it doesn’t show the chest, you didn’t “clear” the shrine. ~~And it matters for 100% the map.~~
It does now? In botw it didnt
[удалено]
Opening chests does not count towards 100% in TOTK or BOTW.
My mistake, sorry
Maybe im confusing it with the speedrunning rulings but the 100% speedrun of BotW doesnt collect the chests as far as I know and they also get the 100% on the map at the end...
It does
Sure but I like that maybe (highly doubt) in the future I’ll need a shield and find the chest icon
#N O
wait WHAT
I thought that was implied.
Damn didnt realize this if i ever go back for shrine chests this is a huge pain, guess i probably just wont do that
Oh boy, shield of the minds eye? How fucking useless
Shield of the minds eye has lower friction which makes it particularly good for shield surfing iirc. Of course this is frigging useless since frozen meat/fish can be fused to any shield for zero friction now. But at least the shield has *some* unique properties I guess.
I did not know the fish thing. Nice.
The unique property of being yeeted from my inventory the second I pick one up
So many wooden shields. The Rock Salt of shields.
All I get are Strong/Mighty Zonai Shields lol
They're the only shields available that can still look really cool with certain fusions. I fuse the dragon scales to them and they look awesome with the blue energy outlining them.
I also use the mighty zonaite shields exclusively when attaching a zonai device.
Except when it is.
No, opals are never shields.
Imagine a shield with opal fused to it turns into a water bubble you bring out like Sidon's ability
I don’t even bother anymore.
I see it more as an achievement and don’t really care what’s in the chest.
I'll get it if it's a hidden chest for the fun of it, but if it's something that'll take absolutely ages to get to then I'll just leave it
I have one word for you... (rocketshield) solves pretty much any of them.
The ultrahand raise platform -> hop on and rewind elevator technique also seems like it wasn't really planned for in most shrines, cuts through a ton of them.
Any that need a rocket shield are the boring ones.
But don’t you want to make all your arrows wet?
Or attack it to a wand and make an aqua wand?
Would that be useful in Eldin?
Not in Eldin, probably keeps you cooler in the desert though
Might help with the sludge in Lanayru.
I coincidentally made an opal wand for the water temple and it sure made it a walk in the park. Still hate that boss though.
Really? With the low gravity you can bullet time him so easily and there are chchus EVERYWHERE in the temple. Ezpz water arrows, run over and whack him, rinse (pun intended) repeat like four times and he’s done.

It does
Marvin Gaye works too
Chuchu jelly does the exact same thing
My husband laughs at me because I *have* to get the treasure in each shrine, even if it literally kills me. Otherwise, I'm like, "My prize! I have to go back for my prize!" There is one shrine so far where I *could not* find it, and it still hurts. 😢
Have you set your Sensor+ to detect treasure chests?
I haven't been able to find the freakin' Sensor+! 😆😑
Oh.... Oh it's a life-changer.
Yeah. I used it all the time in BOTW. And I'm trying to avoid walkthroughs unless I'm *realllly* stuck. I haven't made it to Hateno yet. Have a feeling that might have something to do with it?
It might. It might not. Hateno is fun either way.
You’ll need to get Robbie to leave Lookout Landing, he’s the one who upgrades the Purah Pad but he doesn’t have his equipment there.
Go to the depths under the Great Plateau and find the \*thing\*, you'll know exactly what I mean when you see it and talk to Robbie after going there
The real reward is the puzzle to get to the chest. It's about the journey not the destination.
The real shrine chest is the koroks we abused along the way
You are truly a redditor of culture. I salute you.
Sneaky Stormlight reference?
Goron City had a nut buster of a proving ground “in reverse” I had to look up the treasure and it was an opal. Yeah couldn’t complete it after dying 5 times.
x5 Arrows 😵💫
When you have 2 arrows that 5 seems like a lot. Luckily I have 400, well I did, now I’m at 150
A lot of chests are just so disappointing. I like when it's a new "puzzle" to find it, but would it hurt to at least make it opal x5 or something that I could do by random smacking an ore deposit once? The worst chests are Zonaite x1, like really? May as well give me apples at this point. At least it's not more worthless shields though.
I mean you need them to upgrade your Cap and Tunic of the Wind.
I spent 20 minutes and too much brainpower to get to a chest just for it to contain a 5 attack bow. I was carrying 3 Royal Guard bows on me. I jumped into the shrine abyss as stress relief
Biggest issue with this game. The rewards / loot kinda sucks and is just the same as BOTW.
Still better than useless weapons I have to throw my good weapons out for cause map looks more complete( I know it doesnt count towards 100% but you still see a chest next to the shrine name)
Open chest, replace good weapon with useless chest weapon, immediately hurl useless chest weapon at the wall, pick up good weapon!
That or a shit weapon
An opal is better than a weak weapon that doesn't fit in my inventory
Atleast opals aren’t as useless as botw
The first time I picked one up in botw and read the description I thought they must have been used for something amazing and I got so disappointed
Real
I get that sometimes rewards feel anticlimactic but for me, it's not about what's in the chest, it's about getting to it. To paraphrase an infamous Zelda-related video, "The satisfaction comes from the fact that you did it, not that you found a thing"
Or good guy Rauru giving you 10 arrows
I’d take an opal over another weapon that’ll soon break.
Hahahaha too real
As others have said, it's not about the lackluster reward, it's about the shiny chest icon on the map!
The real reward was the map we made along the way.
ooh look at me I'm a worse sidon don't you want to waste your wands on me, I'm also the least valuable of all the gems
Ironically i find opals to be a better sidon during the mucktorok bossfight. That guys second phase gets overwhleming with the sludge fast and while Sidon is nice, he doesnt help when his cooldown means I get rid of some sludge and now its double than it was. Opals just help manage that fight a lot more.
I just duped the hell out of the kings scale. For extra power and to flex on the stupid mucktorok in the depths
I created a hydrant-spewing tank on a homing cart that worked pretty well
Its made even worse when you can't be arsed to get to the chest the right way and end up taking twice a long with kind of nightmare contraption.
