Master Mode, 100% completed.
- All main quests, shrine quests, side quests
- All shrines and Divine Beasts
- All key locations visited
- All Korok Seeds collected
- Full Hyrule Compendium
- Full upgrades of every piece of armor
- Every Stone Talus, Hinox, and Molduga defeated (and Lynels for good measure)
- All DLC completed

This was likely the biggest undertaking I've ever taken on in a video game, and I have no regrets. I've played this game through a couple of times now, but never to this level of completion.

I adore this game. The simple act of exploring and getting lost / distracted is a treat, and the world itself is so rich with things to see and do. Combat is fun, rewarding (usually), and has lots of room for expression. The story and characters are loveable and engaging.

I really don't have any complaints with this game. If there is anything to say even slightly negatively, it's that I prefer the pace of exploration, puzzle solving, and making your own path when compared to following the main questline. The game gives you so much freedom to make your own choices that I never found that at all cumbersome.

This is a game I'd consider easily within my top 5, and I can't wait to see if they can improve on it in Tears of the Kingdom. I'm expecting a very different game feel in most regards, but I'm optimistic for this, as well.

You're so crazy for this but mad respect... no game comes close for exploration

100% Master Mode club! I made the truly awful mistake of getting all the Korok Seeds before getting the Master Cycle. Coulda been scoopin' poop in style.

Definitely agree that the exploration and wandering is the highlight.
