What game did you last play?!?!?!?

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of The Wild

Like I'd planned too, I'm doing a completely blind run of the game and as a result everything is surprising me because of the level of detail Nintendo has made this game with. Currently have 8 hearts, 1 stamina boost, 3 memories, 25 shrines, and 47 korok seeds. Currently have maps for the plateau, necluda, lanaryu, and central hyrule (many deaths were had trying to get to that first memory but i havent gone back since)

And I just cleared Eventide Island and I feel like elaborating on my experience with that place in the actual BoTW thread because so far it is the greatest part of the game.

I really am lost though, aside from clearing any shrine I come across and marking my map with pots and ore locations as I find them (there is a particularly good one just northeast of rodai lake behind some bombable rocks) do I just pick another Divine Beast and go for it? Or do I head to that other professor, robbie, asap?
 
You can basically go wherever, but I did the first few objectives then started going to whichever region had a tower that was close to where I was. As a result I've gone right from the starting area and made my way to the top right and now I'm making my way to the top left.

It does almost feel like this is the 'intended' way with the progression of the enemies and objectives.

That's also the exact same way I'm going

Except I made a detour to the very top of the map

yeah I got that feeling from the levels of the enemies and the difficulty of the divine beast that east was the intended starting point

Welp I'm in luck then, because I've only explored the south east and east parts of the map so I can just keep going anticlockwise and visit Robbie to upgrade the Sheikah slate then hit the next divine beast in the region over.

4/12 memories recovered, just got the one where
Zelda and Link are running in a forest after the divine beasts have killed the champions and Ganon has won
powerful stuff

Unrelated, but I keep thinking about Eventide Island and how amazing that shrine quest was like holy shit I'm so glad I got to it early

So, question. Do I have to get all the memories to advance in the story at this point? I feel like I got to the point where the game really opens up. And now my only story objective is to get the 12 memories.

no, you can advance the story any way you want from now on. Memories, either of the divine beasts, go straight to ganon, do sidequests, shrines, just fuck around a lot.

you're free.
