Yeaaaaah I agree the shrine titles are a problem. "Dual Purpose" for example, would have been a better shrine if it did not have that name.

Yeah I can understand not getting the Lost Woods, feels like a thing where you can just get unlucky and don't think of the idea. I have a friend at work who solved it simply by turning around whenever the screen went white. Pretty impressive actually.

OK here's one nobody remembers

35. Minigame: Hebra Mountain Shield Surfing Through Hoops (Champions Ballad, DLC Pack 2)



I love shield surfing in this game. The physics and controls are great, the feel of the speed is awesome (Beauty points)...but it's hard to have reasons to do it, because usually, you can just glide to wherever you're going.

The shield surfing minigame from Selmie was okay, but flawed: it takes a lot of dialogue to retry, it's kinda just a basic straight path, and also, it's better to exploit it by gliding straight to the end.

However, Champion's Ballad forces you to do this new surfing challenge, down a narrow cliff on the southeast side of the mountain.

This time, there are tiny glowing "hoops" you must surf through. The hoops are on short timers, so if you lose control and miss one, or if you go too slow, you'll fail and have to start over. I thought it was really well timed, so that you'll barely reach each hoop on time, and it excitingly feels like you're on the verge of failing. I loved the Legit Gameplay here, and wish it let you do the challenge again after beating it.

They also work in some rad Surprises you have to think fast for, such as putting a gap in the path that you have to jump across, enemies on the path, boulders falling, etc.

My #1 biggest dream for BOTW2 is for them to just cover the game in movement-based and vehicle-based challenges like this. It would be so easy to add more content like this, and so fun to master. (One of my other favorite video games "Steep" is basically an entire game of this... it doesn't have a motorcycle though!)
