You know there is another thing to do...enyoy the old mans company you will never see him again after the great plateau

First hour of the game? I spent about 4 hours on the plateau before leaving. Lol. I explored everything I could and defeated all the bokoblin camps.

hey fun fact! ure nr 2: instead go to the cabin where old man lives, and cook "1 spicy pepper - 1 raw meat - 1 hyrule bass fish" and he gives you the coat right away! just read the diary on the table, the recepie is written in it =)

Fun tip: early on keep a wooden shield or two and let archers shoot at you. Fast and easy way to stock up regular arrows since the enemies seem to have an unlimited amount until they are defeated

If something looks weird, there's likely a korok seed there.

I felt so dumb for buying a Warm Doublet when I returned to the Great Plateau and found one in a chest.

Carry a Flamesword in the cold regions, carry a frostsword in the warm regions. You dont even need to use it, just equip it.

Also, behind the smaller waterfall (towards the inside of the Great Plateau) of the River of the Dead, there are 3 chests, containing 5 normal arrows, 5 fire arrows, and a soldier's broadsword. (Just in case there are still any newbies watching this ;) lol)

Get as many hidden koroks that you can, you will be glad you did if you can manage to figure out who the guy is that uses them and how to reach him when he gets home.

[kingcheerio]

lol, yeah arrows are scarce, whenever I'm short, I seek out some Bokoblin archers, dodge the arrows, then gather up like twenty loose arrows each time

[AbhorrentUS]

Hey fun fact, if you cook 5 peppers you get 12:30 of cold resistance instead of 8 with recipe mentioned in the video!

[tronjavolta]

had the hardest time going through the cold sections of the plateau early on in the game. this game definitely doesn't hold your hand, in a good way.

Step 1: go to the ruins in front of the temple of time
Step 2: find the chest in the ruins
Step 3: open the chest
Step 4: enjoy your Hylian trousers right at the start of the game.

Just started my 1st playthrough of BOTW. I can definitely say there are tons of things i need to do and explore in the opening area. Thank you for these helpful tips.

Thank you

You can also get the Warm Doublet by mixing raw meat, hyrule bass, and spicy pepper, and giving the resulting food to the old man at his cabin.

Recommend getting used to marking points of interest in your sheikah slate map. By doing this you can make your way around the plateau without doubling back on yourself. I must have spent an hour going between the old mans hut and the lake looking for fish. 🐟

My friend was Kind enough to buy me one and let me play Zelda so now I have like 100 hours on the game and I am gonna 100% percent the game

Tip for fighting Stone Talus (and its variants): Just throw bombs at its arm/fists. The bombs destroy the arms and it hunches over from the shock so you can either throw another bomb on the ore deposit on it's back for damage or hop on. If you successfully take out both arms before it regens the first, it completely gets immobilized as if it threw both of its arms at you. The only real benefit of using this strategy is that you won't ever be attacked by the boulder tosses because it won't be able to toss any to begin with, otherwise, proceed with caution if you are doing it the normal way.
