I get the Travel Medallion, place it near the Dias where you need, then go off and do other things. As soon as a Blood Moon starts I teleport back to the Medallion and strip off!
Well, the horse problem is just that you didn't train the horse yet. When you first catch a horse, they're disobedient because they're still wild. You need to soothe them with L when they misbehave. Once you register them at a stable and max their friendship (this process is super fast if you feed them apples) they will stop misbehaving.
As far as shrines and puzzles go, you just need to practice, I guess? You can start with any Zelda game in the series so BotW is as fine as any as a place to start. I'd just say take your time to learn the game's systems. Look for armor and experiment with cooking and ingredients. You'll get the hang of it in time.
Yea Botw doesnt like telling you stuff to do...You see, this is what I'm talking about. I got the soothing part, but for some reason it didn't work, but the registering thing and apple feeding I had no idea of. I don't remember being told this info during the game. The same with my progress during the game, I have the impression it's slow or that I'm skipping some steps without wanting it.
That's why I was saying I feel a bit downbeat about everything after the initial enthusiasm, I get the feeling that things don't fall into place or maybe it's just that I'm not made for this game.
If I were you I'd keep at it without restarting. By this point you've probably got a stash of materials and stuff and some map points to work with, so learning might be easier with that rather than just starting over. Just my thoughts tho.So you guys are saying I should just go ahead with it from the point I am at or maybe restart it from the beginning and do it with more patience and attention to all the elements around?
Or should I try Link's Awakening or Skyward Sword before returning to this?
If I were you I'd try skyward sword instead
it's a much more straightforward game with access to help and direction when you need it and also being a bit more indicative of what "normal" zelda games play likeThank you! Any reason for this recommendation?

That's completely dependent on how many shrines you do and what you get from them. In the run I'm currently doing, I did Vah Ruta with three hearts. There's no measure of how many hearts you "should" have at any given moment, since it's entirely up to you where you go and what you get out of it. You don't have to do Ruta first, either. BotW is a game where you make your own steps. You aren't lacking anything.Thanks!
There's one more thing I forgot to mention when I wrote that the way the game went so far lacked something for me and made me realize I am far from where I should be: after the first elephant, I have only five hearts and from the various YouTube videos I've watched, by that point of the game people have much more. This made me think that there have been many steps I have missed along the way.
