I just checked to see if GameFAQs was still active and thought that Tears of the Kingdom would be a good game to see if there were any active users still making guides.

There's only one...for horse upgrade recipes. I also didn't know that GameSpot acquired them.

I too mourn the lost era of GameFAQs.

I was an active member when GameSpot merged then took over (my account missed the LUE cutoff by less than a year, if you know you know). It was something the owner promised would never happen, and then he repeatedly said it would never go farther then it did. GameFAQers hated GameSpoters. Merging was the beginning of the end IMO, it hurt the community and that was the main thing they had.
