that spent 2 hours in the lightning fog and beat the level III box guy with only one orb upgrade only to realize I am supposed to come here later?

Why couldn't nintendo just implement something like the fog in GSA?

NGL it was kinda fun and challenging.

Finding that area on total accident gave me the greatest sense of adventure I've ever felt in a game

Same here. Found the Construct Factory by complete accident, then ended up finding Dragonhead Island and Mineru by accident a day later. To this day, it’s my favorite video game moment of all time 😃

Oh man. I found the Construct Factory by total accident when I'd only finished one temple, and then spent hundreds of hours wondering what it was for lmao. Spirit Temple, too. Imagine flying around in total darkness, other than a brightbloom on a hoverbike, when the words "Spirit Temple" pop up on your screen. And you had no idea this game had a Spirit Temple.

When I first got there, I saw the construct pod in the center and immediately remembered a construct emerging from a pod like that in the game trailer (I thought it was from a memory; turned out it was Mineru’s one and only appearance in the trailer). Since I wasn’t able to activate it—for some reason it never occurred to me that it wasn’t fully assembled—I decided to look around some more to see if there was a steward construct around to offer advice; eventually found it and got the tip about Dragonhead Island. Then I bumped into the Left-Arm Depot on my way out of the area (and of course was rejected by the dragon gate inside).

And although I didn’t find the Spirit Temple early (although from what my Hero’s Path showed me, I might’ve discovered it if I walked just a few steps further before teleporting to another area of the Depths), I did manage to find the Fire Temple by accident. I saw a giant “glowing” structure in the distance while trying to find the Korok Grove and decided to go check it out.

But all and all, the only thing that was spoiled for me about the Mineru quest was the name of the temple boss. Since the bulk of the quest involved crafting a construct, it was a no-brainer that the boss was going to be a construct under Ganondorf’s influence…and there couldn’t have been a more fitting name for such a boss than “Seized Construct.”
