Welcome to !botw_scavenger_hunt@lemmy.world! In this community, you post pictures of interesting locations you find on your journey throughout Hyrule, and others try to find where they are!

Posting a new picture

• Take a screenshot of your location using the Switch's screenshot button. Make sure you have the map disabled by changing the HUD mode to Pro.
• To upload your picture, you could either:

1. transfer it to your smart device by following this guide,
2. post it to a social media website, and link the image directly in your post, or
3. use a microSD card to transfer it to another device, and upload it to your post.

This article explains both of these methods.

• You could include a clue in your title or in a comment to help the Scavengers looking for your picture.

Hunting

• Try to find the exact location of the picture linked in the post, and take a screenshot there. Make sure you have the map enabled by changing the HUD mode to Normal.
• Upload your picture to Imgur, and post the link in a comment.
• Even if the picture has already been found, you can still participate in the hunt and look for it.
• If you were the first to find a picture successfully, you will receive a point. Points will be tracked internally, and until a "user flair" system is added, there will be a public leaderboard.

Other Guidelines

• If the picture is a spoiler (e.g., a major boss, or DLC content), please mark it as such.
• Don't post any off-topic content. This includes generic BOTW content that isn't necessarily a location picture to be found, memes, META posts, and other content that does not relate to the game.
• Be kind. Remember the human on the other side. Offensive content will not be tolerated.
