Yeah the 900 korok reward is great. I do have a coworker who went ahead and got them all. I tried to stop him, I said "didn't you hear what the reward is?? nintendo is begging you not to do this!" but he was like "yeah yeah, I can't resist though, I can't help it." He used a map too...come on man, it's just work at that point!

OK well that arrow korok is less good if there are multiple, so I will now write another entry to clear my palate. One more shrine after this one!

17. Shrine: Hawa Koth Shrine: The Current Solution



For some reason I find the first room of this shrine extremely aesthetically pleasing, so I made that the first image, above. (Beauty points.)

There's also a pretty funny middle section of this shrine, where you carry an electric orb across bridges, and if you carry it too close to some receptors, the bridge gets activated and flips over and you fall. OR you could do it on purpose, from a distance, and make the tiny guardian enemies on the bridge get flipped instead! It's a pretty silly section.

But the real beauty of this shrine is this extremely Legitimate Puzzle at the end:



I'm not sure what to say to analyze it, it's just a really good video game puzzle. You have to use your powers, but that's not all there is to it, you also have to use them smartly. I think I would rank it as the #2 best legitimate puzzle in the game, off the top of my head (#3 would be "Passing of the Gates" from earlier in the list, and #1 is still coming up later).

Even more impressive is that it manages to have Multiple Solutions, some being a bit cheaty, but multiple are pretty elegant. That's really hard to do, usually having a "good puzzle" means it has just one elegant solution. This is Breath of the Wild magic right here.
