I went there early and actually succeeded in navigating through it to the end, despite the weather. Took a long time. Then later I had a conversation that revealed I did it out of order. "Oh, you've already found the spirit temple? Well then, next you need to find the master sword." Cool bruh.
Ooofff, and it even cost you multiple fairies. Those thunderstorms can be a real pain...
Spoiler: The earliest you can theoretically clear this section is directly after obtaining the "Regional Phenomena" quest, but you would have to find the right spot in the raging storm without any guidance (hint: map coordinates greatly help here) and then glide under the chamber that contains Mineru's mask and ascend into it, to bypass the "10 heart container" door. You can also reach the chamber without even obtaining the Paraglider, but then the mask will say something like "now isn't the right time" and won't let you pick it up / progress the quest.
If you happen to have the Sheikah Sensor, there is a trackable shrine very close to the door. ;)
good idea I was just mostly winging it
Boooooo
Also spoiler: spends several minutes looking up syntax only to find out kbin doesn't support spoiler tags yet, along with some Lemmy apps 😣
You can also get there...
... by Recall riding one of the many falling rocks under Dragonhead in Faron.
I swear half of my conversations with Purah and Josha were non-update placeholder text, followed by 5 minutes of "here's something else to- oh you did that already" at endgame.
Went there and got fucked up constantly in the nonstop rain and thunderstorms. Stressed me immensely.
I explored this area early too. But, I had the thunderhelm and the froggy set already. So, it was kinda sparky and slippery, but doable. I found the final big sky Island first though, with its shrine and not much else until I unlocked the quests properly. There are so many treasure chests here though that you might be able to navigate pretty well just by sensor alone. By the way, monster fights in the rain are MUCH more fun with the thunder helm. So is fishing with lightning fruit.

1. Stay Civil
This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won't be tolerated.
2. Mark Spoilers
It is okay to post about "related games" (such as Age of Calamity and Breath of the Wild) but please use the spoiler "censor" and do not put spoilers directly into the title, as the censor doesn't work this way. Posts about other Zelda games might be suited better in general Zelda communities, like the ones listed at the bottom of the sidebar.
3. Offtopic Posts
Anything not related to BotW, like politics, religion, non-Zelda games etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.
4. No Advertisements
It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those "design your own merch" sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn't Etsy.
5. Provide Sources
If you're going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)
6. Suggestions are Welcome!
Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)
