[pujlibiq] botw ng+

proposals for things that should be included if Zelda BOTW were to have a New Game Plus mode.  the general idea is shortcuts for things that are tedious on the first playthrough, e.g., travel.

warp points for shrines that you solved in a previous game.  but you still need to solve a shrine again to earn its spirit orb.  if a buried or blocked shrine, teleports to only near its location; you still need to complete its shrine quest to get inside.

Revali's gale (or its Plus version) is available early somewhere, if you had gotten either of them previously.  beating Windblight gets you a heart container and great eagle bow.

other champion abilities?  you will be overpowered, but maybe that's the point of NG+, a sandbox.

paraglider immediately after activating great plateau tower.  (or when first meeting the Old Man?)  you can then leave the great plateau without needing to beat the tutorial shrines.

master cycle zero, if you had gotten it previously, is available somewhere early, maybe Hateno ancient tech lab.  after you beat Maz Koshia again, he gifts you a full tank of gas, maybe in the form of bananas.

Epona waits for you in a stable.

early master sword if previously obtained?  already upgraded according to previous progress at trial of the sword?  what do you get if you redo a previously completed sword trial?

bow of light?

of the wild armor set, if previously obtained.

Kilton inventory as full as previously achieved (the max of the number of divine beasts beaten on any previous playthrough).

skip more cutscenes.
