Jeremy will soon be finishing Horizon Zero Dawn and wants to play Breath of Wild next. This is problematic since I’m not even nearly done.
HOWEVER, I could ask him to get it for the WiiU…

I have both 37 shrines and Korok seeds but only did the Zora domain so far. Then I went and fucking fought Gannon. I can’t believe I actually made it to him! Got 1.5 forms down. It only took uh… 50 shock arrow.
I then explored the entire map. And by that I mean I went from the southeast corner and swept west through the lower third of the map, exploring every nook and cranny until I hit Gerudo town. I didn’t tackle the beast there yet, but will maybe tonight. Took a pause to go unlock all the other towers and get full map, which was a bit of a challenge at times.
The game feels like it is def designed for Zora first. Based on the Goron NPC in town I figured they wanted you to go Goron next? But this shit really does feel truly open world.
All I gotta say is… Eventide Island. Holy shit that was cool.
Yes Eventide was so good. I accidentally blew up one of the orbs and I couldn’t save. I was about to cry because of the potential lost effort. Luckily it respawned.
Before I encountered any Divine Beast, I went to unlook all the Towers, I died, died, and died some more. However, thanks to the shrines that I found along the way I was able to get extra hearts, and stamina to unlock them all. You really don’t have to worry about how hot or cold you get since you can always find a stable where you can make food or elixirs. I have gone to defeat the Zora’s beast, then the Goron’s beast, and my latest one was the Gerudo’s beast. Will take my time with the last one before I go an defeat Ganon.
So far it is lot’s of fun and I Nintendo has sold me with the season pass if I can get a hard mode.
I’m pretty sure the Gerudo heat resistant gear is different from the “oh my god I’m on fire why am I hanging out this close to lava” gear.
You can buy not being on fire elixirs from the stable just before you head up the volcano, and there’s a quest to get a free piece of gear about half way to the main Goron town. (You’ll still need elixir(s) to get that far though.)
