I'm pretty sure I was talking about the Muwo Jeem Shrine near the Hateno Research Facility ... which is one of the first areas you go to the in the story. I got to the Hateno Village in only a few hours, and that's including a lot of time fucking around and not doing the story. It's a few minutes walk from the village, but it's pretty close and honestly I felt like it was a deliberate point of interest from where you stand in the research facility (it sticks out like a sore thumb because it's like a big branch formation sticking out at the sea). There you go. Either way, whether you like the example or not the point still stands. 

Oh, so a Modest Test, not a Major Test. Yeah, Modest Tests are not even close to 'the toughest shrine bosses'. How on Earth did you run out of weapons against only a Modest? There are two Bokoblin camps with good equipment on the cliffs leading up to it. If you followed the story, you should've run into Hestu and gotten an expanded inventory too. Honestly, this only seems more suspicious and does not serve as a good example of your point.

Dude, I'm literally describing something that happened almost two years ago. Lay off me. You are trying WAYYYY toooo hard to discredit an example and you're not even arguing the actual point. If a point can stand without an example, trying to deflate someone's example isn't really helping your case.

Ironically enough, you're still wrong. Because the research center *does* have a Major Test of Strength near it, despite the fact that it's one of the first places you go in the story: https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Chaas_Qeta_Shrine

The only reason I had guessed it was the one on the cliff was because when I looked up a a "Major Test of Strengths" guide, for some reason the one I looked at must have linked to another page that featured the shrine on the cliff. But yes, the Chaas Qeta Shrine was the one I was thinking of.

I did *both* shrines early in the game, so I honestly couldn't tell you which one was difficult for me at first, because again I thought I had read they were both major tests of strength. Because like a lot of other people did, when I got to the shrine near the cliff I used it to get closer to the island. 

There's even an entire reddit thread about how easy it is to accidently stumble upon test of strength: https://www.reddit.com/r/Breath_of_the_Wild/comments/95gzpo/when_you_walk_into_a_major_test_of_strength/

Someone even wrote in the thread "Honestly, on a second playthrough it's not even a question of difficulty; I never took any damage during a test of strength in mine, so it's just a question of whether your weapons can deal enough damage before they break". 

I appreciate the fact that you're being honest, but it comes off like you're trying so hard to defend the game to the point of just being rude. I'm not a "liar" and my story isn't "fishy", it actually happened. It just happened a long time ago ...
