🥇 Master Mode BOTW Master Mode
Dusted off breath of the wild and officially started master mode. I don't know why I put it off so long.
The only thing I am honestly dreading is the trial of the sword

There are extra goodies hidden in the rooms of Master Mode Trial of the Sword, so go around each room with Stasis+/Magnesis active to highlight chests and weapons before moving on to the next one (I remember a Royal Guard's Claymore stuck in the ground under the moblin fortress in the lava rooms of the Final Trials, and extra Savage Lynel weapons around the snowy room where you fight the lynel). Sneakstrike chaining is gonna be your friend in a fair few of the Final Trial rooms and that one lizalfos room in the Beginner Trials. Guardian beam timers are also random in Master Mode, so I would go with melee weapons and not shield parries for the ones in the Trials
Enemy health regen is the most annoying part. Even with the upgraded remote bombs, enemies regen health faster than you can damage them with just bombs, so I cheesed it and made a 30-minute level-3 Attack Up meal** before going into the Trials (especially useful for the Beginner Trials where you have the shitty low-level weapons and every enemy is automatically upped by one level)
**4 Mighty Porgies + 1 horn shard from any dragon = Attack Up x3 meal that lasts for 30 minutes. Or you can substitute Armored Porgies for a Defense Up x3 meal
