In defense of the blessing shrines, they kinda _are_ the whole reward for completing a lengthy world quest, usually after a pretty large-scale puzzle in the overworld.

[@RNCM_Philosophy]

Lol apart from the one near serenne stable

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

@@RNCM_Philosophy Hey I've seen people wander around there going "uhhhh guys where's the shrine" and just never finding it OK that was just Gab Smolders but still

[@Iaconacoalsaurus]

To be fair to PBG, sometimes the blessing shrines appear after doing a really simple or small task and sometimes you do a huge quest and get a normal puzzle shrine. They're kind of all over the place.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

@@Iaconacoalsaurus I feel like most of the latter cases were either Champions' Ballad, or thematic, like Greedy Hill being after the rock roast quest or the Spring of Power being a Major Test of Strength. Plus the Thundra Plateau one, which was more of a catharsis shrine than a puzzle shrine, it was like "here, take out your frustration by smashing all these blocks to bits." In terms of the former, yeah there were a couple that they just put in caves with rocks in front of them and said "hey this is pretty hard to find right?" when the Sheikah Sensor exists. But at least in most cases where the quest was actually very difficult and involved, you got a blessing shrine, which I think is the most important thing design-wise. If they actually had all been puzzle shrines that would have been frustrating imo.

[@shadowcelebi3595]

sometimes i find them by pure accident even though i never started a quest relating to that blessing shrine

[@isaiahzabell1320]

Those flat rocks are where Divine Beast Vah Naboris perches after you beat it, but MORE IMPORTANTLY, it's Spectacle Rock from the first Zelda game! And I think that's a really cool easter egg.

[@gokuss9999]

Actually, the "Blessing" Shrines are only behind challenges done in the overworld. For Example, Eventide is a challenge, and you get a blessing so you don't have to do ANOTHER puzzle after already completing the other challenge. 3 more examples are the Mazes. Once you complete the Mazes, you get a Blessing Shrine.

[@ajfrommillay3766]

Except some are after things that aren't really challenging. Like "Oh, you blew up some rocks to find this shrine?" Way to go! Here's some stuff.

[@scarffoxandfriends9401]

@@ajfrommillay3766 I think that happens twice. And the one in the desert loses any reason once the devine beast is gone. It's wierd because their where actually a handful of shrines that had both external and internal puzzles. I almost felt like those shrines should have been move to the "blew up some rocks cause my shrine radar went off" shrines.

[@nicocchi]

Yeah it's inconsistent. More often than not, blessing shrines are hidden behind an overworld puzzle. Sometimes is hard, sometimes it's simple. And if there's an overworld puzzle, sometimes is a blessing shrines sometimes it's a puzzle shrine too. I don't really mind it honestly since again, 120 of them, and also they're quick satisfaction when you want to upgrade your stamina. I'm very intrinsically motivated so just finding stuff is its own reward.

[@JulesThePsion]

A puzzle is a reward unto itself, though. I would have felt more rewarded with the chance to explore and solve another unique shrine.

[@sirtacovi3262]

@@JulesThePsion Yeah, that's how I felt about them too. In the world of the game, it makes sense that the monks wouldn't need you to prove yourself again after a big challenge, but as a player, I would have liked to cool off after the intense experience of completing Eventide with a relaxing, combat-free puzzle.

[@thelastwindwaker7948]

14:21 Pretty sure that flat open mountain area is where the camel divine beast will sit once you clear that. There's a massive pool of water up on top of a mountain in Zora's domain that I had the same issue with. Turned out it was where the elephant one goes.

[@TheBabaloga]

Just a small note: the "blessing" shrines are for when the puzzle is outside the shrine, like the mountain one where you have to roll a snowball down a hill to open a door to the shrine. There's no puzzle inside because the puzzle is reaching the shrine.

[@TheRealBlazingDiamond]

Eh, sometimes the puzzle is so mundane that it just feels like free stuff

[@maxminton7861]

That’s true, but too often it feels as though the challenge is non existent. I remember blowing up a super obvious rock and it revealed a cave with a shrine, and that was it.

Yeah, I'll be playing BOTW again when Tears of the Kingdom comes out since I'm unable to buy it on release because "reasons" (Saving for a PS5......and I passed my "games I'll buy at full price" for the year with Octopath Traveler 2, FE Engage, Etrian Odyssey 3 HD, Front Mission 2 Remake and Pikmin 4! So my ass is broke till next year or Tears gets a major price drop sale which I doubt anytime soon this year) so since I bought the Expansion pass AFTER beating it on the WiiU all those years back (100% that) for my Switch version on MASTER MODE (As I said 100% it, so I'll be 100% it again WITH the expansion stuff as I never got to try any of that back on the WiiU) Right Now I'm finishing up Xenoblade 3, going to play the Future Redeemed likely tomorrow, Finish up my 5th Fire Emblem Engage playthrough AND my Silver Snow playthrough on 3Houses before I do so (Cause I want to 100% Master Mode BEFORE July when Pikmin 4 comes out!) But yeah, you never "complete" forget everything, but you forget "ENOUGH" that you still get that sense of "New" from when you first played it! Especially as I pointed out, 1st run was on normal, now second run is on Master Mode! (I'm only using the "Tips" document I made for myself when I played the WiiU to give myself "hints" as I made it back then EXACTLY for the day I play anew to keep things fresh, whatever I benefit or fail to understand my own "Vague Hints" is on me!

Yeah the flat mountain near the desert is where the Camel divine beast sits after you beat it. I can see how it's confusing beforehand. I thought the same thing about the giant puddle atop a mountain in the Zora's domain. (Where the elephant goes afterwards 😅)

14:31 I played botw 100% and unfortunately I have to tell you that there is no korok there

[@davidfisher9252]

If I remember correctly, it's where Vah Naboris goes once you clear the shrine.

[@Kwerple]

bro I havent watched pbg in a while. glad to see hes still uploading the same fun and positive zelda content

[@RobinDJoker]

6:55 Actually, with the Blessing Shrines, most of the time the puzzle is getting to them in the first place

[@bluelfsuma]

Peebs calling Koroks assholes is so validating. Especially those stupid river stone circle ones, I hate them so much!

[@kirkenstiensmonster]

Use cryonis! I'm telling you, as someone who's been playing BotW since release cryonis is your friend. Set up one or two in front and even one behind if you need then line up the shot and throw.

[@bluelfsuma]

@@kirkenstiensmonster Oh, yeah, I always do. It's still frustrating.

I freaking loved the Katamari hammer bit from back then. I believe it was in the Top Zelda Items video. Love that you remade it!!!

The world will go nuts once PBG finds out all the methods to fly everywhere. (Double minecarts, Guardians on rafts, Wind bombs, etc.)

[@MulinaTheAngelWolf]

the absolute delight of PBG still being so himself just as the past... is like being able to quietly step back into being young again. thank you

[@itsjustr0wan]

6:46 LOL i def did this, honestly the funnest part about doing shrines was seeing how i could cheese them

[@fakemccoy1116]

3:15 That is very accurate on how I feel after a bad review on some of my favorite games.

[@GingerBradMan21]

The shrines weren't bad but the fact that there were almost unlimited ways to complete them made it easy more than it made it interesting in many of them.

[@dolamskudoiski306]

1:18 - I like the lil text spin you did there

[@ashdroidgamer3878]

Yee

[@phykoha]

I’m really glad you gave the game another chance, and actually like it now. I absolutely adore the game, but I haven’t played it at all in the past few months, and this gives me motivation to go back and start a new game hdgdj

[@Levacque]

@7:00 it's kinda nice though because the free shrines normally invoice something complicated to reach them. And then sometimes you do something in a completely non-linear fashion and get to one of those shrines really easily and it's such a pleasant surprise.

[@grimm7001]

Dude Hyrule always needs cleaning up, glad Peebs is finally the one to stand up and do it.

[@owencrown4167]

As someone who has played the game for a very long time, I've found that some of the most entertaining parts of the game are the glitches. Like any other big, open world game, there are a ton of fun glitches that completely break the game, such as launching from one side of the map to the other in 20 seconds, moon jump, and duping items(I have 7 hylian shields in my inventory).

[@reigjinokou7035]

@6:50 One thing I will mention about the blessing shrines is that most (I do believe there's at least one exception) require a puzzle/challenge to encounter them in the first place (Eventide Isle, for example). So while the shrines themselves are boring, if they weren't, it would be "Hey! Congrats on completing that puzzle/challenge. As for your reward, you may attempt ANOTHER puzzle/challenge," which would be, at least a little, disheartening. So the couch comment is misleading or something like that.

[@majoraborne403]

“The Katamari hammer edit that no one probably remembers.” Please…along with the goofy run and laugh from the Wind Waker hacking video, that Katamari edit sticks out in my mind when I think about this channel happy to see it back!

[@that_g3_obsessive]

My favorite part about this game is how people are still finding new stuff in it even 4 years later. Like you can feed the cows! Or the big circle-shaped hole in Mt. Hylia was probably caused by a Divine Beast laser! Or all the Zonai shit! It's *insane* how much stuff they packed into one game

[@picklerick920]

You can feed cows⁉️

[@GameHopperME]

That edit no one remembers lol... I literally think of it every time I swong that hammer in WW. Have done for the last 10 years since I was 12. Thank PBG I come back every now and then to check on you. So glad you're going harder than ever. Much love.

[@DefenderofHyrule]

Haven't finished the video but had to pause it to say I REMEMBER THAT HAMMER EDIT BIT! Loved that bit of that video and laughed SO much seeing it re-done here :)

12:20 HEARING PBG CURSE WAS A LOT MORE JARRING THAN I EXPECTED.

[@dragamation3266]

Yeah I pretty much had the same reaction about Botw that you described at the start of this video and actually have been meaning to go back to Botw myself. Its good, but like, it's not what I come to a Zelda game for

yes

can’t believe it’s been a certain number of years since the first botw vid came out

Tingle does exist in Breath of the Wild. One of the cookbooks in Gerudo Town has a part about using fairies in cooking and the last page of it says "I am 35 years old now, and no fairy has come to me yet."

[@voidoflight2420]

BotW is a pretty solid game, but not my favorite in the series. However, it was a solid first attempt, and I'm excited for what BotW 2 could end up being like.

[@pixelvapour1960]

[@voidoflight2420]

@@pixelvapour1960 The ost didn't really bother me, but the lack of properly themed dungeons and lack of enemy variety hit me harder. I'm hoping those are improved upon in BotW 2.

[@kylelord_8573]

Weird that he called the blessing dungeons freebees where the developers ran out of ideas when you can only get into them by doing a puzzle in the first place. They aren’t free, the puzzle is just outside instead

[@About100kburner]

thank you for lowkey making my childhood my guy 🙏

[@MattMoore83]

I totally agree with Peebs critique on the game but still worth playing. The next one needs unique dungeons and kickin boss fights and the classical Zelda items.

[@bradencosier80]

I do hope the sequel will be the return of classic dungeons, bosses and items. Those are the things I missed the most in BotW. Oh, and the ability to swim underwater would be good too! It would actually give me a reason to explore the vast ocean along the entire East edge of the map.

[@BrendanJSmith]

I would really love to see them add a recipe book and the ability to play fetch with the dogs

[@qunt100]

Yah i would love this to. And extend the durability of the weapons. Durability is fine, but they break way to easily in my op. Not really a fan of durability in general though. Man and i am not a fan of the stamina meter. Hated it since skyward sword. But i definitely miss the classic dungeon tropes the most in this game.

[@Vivi_9]

@@qunt100 I do think the durability mechanic isn't ideal but there are so many opportunities to find new weapons + having the Master Sword really makes it a very small issue

Watching this video was like checking up on an old friend. Glad to see you're still doing well. Hope you're still having a great time making content.

[@lizardguyNA]

Not gonna lie, I really don't care where or how you'd rank it on any list, I'm just glad you gave it chance. Even impressed you grew to like it after an initial bout of apparently not quite liking it. Game on man, enjoy things the way you want to. And never stop these wacky videos... unless you get to a point where it's physically not good for your health, then maybe dial it back a bit.

[@imhaddanitattaxx4172]

Just wanted to say as a fan of your channel for about 6 years now, it's incredible how much your content quality has increased, thanks for bringing me laughs for so many years. Also you were the first KZbin channel I ever subscribed to and the reason I even made a KZbin account in the first place. Love ya man.

isn't the idea of the "blessing" shrines that the puzzle was figuring out how to get into the shrine in the first place?

[@TimberJackEB]

If you see a korok spot way out of the way, try marking it on your map, and coming back to it later when you're actually headed in that direction. That way, you don't follow a massive trail of korok distractions and completely sideline your current objective.
