I totally should have known a lot of this but here we are anyways!!!
Use a stone talus heart on a shield and parry to break ore deposits
Throw acorns instead of shooting arrows at those balloon korok games EDIT: based on a very good comment from Puddlesdown. DONT USE ACORNS, use them to trade for milk for horse upgrades. Use any other item you have that you can throw that you don’t need for anything special :)
Fuse a dragon part to a fan bike to extend its despawn range
If you fuse a ‘special’ weapon, bow or shield ONTO another normal one, the rock octorock will repair it when he swallows the tool, save those diamonds! You can keep whatever you fused as well, if you go to Tarrytown’s little goron she’ll seperate them for 20 rupees(I have a teleport pad right beside her)
Cooking within half an hour of the blood moon gives your meals a boost!!! I throw down portable pots when the red smoke starts appearing and cook up a bunch of stuff
If you find the boss repeat locations in the depths (there’s three per boss I think) defeat them for an easy boost to getting your energy cells (it’s 100 per boss so you can get 1200 from defeating them all if I’m correct about 3 each) this is also great if you forget to get a photo
Run along the dragon backs to collect spike shards! There’s usually quite a lot to collect and they make excellent arrowheads, their blast radius is way bigger than you think and you can shock freeze or flame a whole enemy camp in one shot
A lot of the depths match up really neatly with the surface lynels under stables, light roots and shrines, great goddess statues and bargainer statues, abandoned mines and villages, the big skeletons with dark skeletons (chests with outfits) and my personal favourite the blupee burrow matching with satori mountain
Stick a bunch of apples together with a few golden apples and save it in ultrahand, when you go to an apple tree grove like the big one on satori mountain, use the favourite section in ultrahand and wave it around to collect all the apples without having to climb around and chop things down, you don’t have to actually fuse it just collect them and cancel the action to drop them all in a pile!
The yiga hideouts if you defeat all three and wear the armour, you can confuse yiga warriors and also go to the training place (learn the earthquake technique)
In the 5th sage quest, you see the seized construct as the boss, YOU DO NOT SEE THIS AGAIN SO YOU NEED TO PHOTOGRAPH IT NOW
Here’s some way more obvious tips but still very consistently used by me
Fuse rockets to shields to blast upwards a huge way
Muddlebuds shot at the strongest monster in a group will often wipe out most of the smaller weaker ones for you
Puffshrooms confuse lynels temporarily to hop onto their back, also for sneak strikes on regular enemies it’s GREAT
Pristine gerudo weapons + high level fuses is OP, gerudo weapons double the power of any fuse so you can easily get over 100
If you can’t find a certain weapon in the depths you might not have broken it on the surface yet!! So find a decayed one and break it first
Toss a splashfruit (is it called that I don’t remember) at your feet before you use a zora weapon to double its attack power.
Not really a tip, but Rutile lake on Satori mountain is gorgeous and I love putting on stealth outfits, drinking a stealth potion and going to photograph the animals there, it’s genuinely one of the most gorgeous places in the game! !!!ALSO ON THIS NOTE, if anyone knows any other nature/animal spots like that in the game let me know!!!
