I've been playing Breath of the Wild from the start, and I was able to beat Ganon within a few weeks (without using a single cheat, guide, or tip sheet, tyvm). I was disappointed that it didn't automatically return me to Hyrule to finish out my side quests, so I just went back in through my last save. I never got my accomplishment star, which I had later learned other players were getting. That star unlocked things like the Elite photo category and a visible percentage of map completion. I continued playing, though, and started focusing on all of the tedious stuff like Korok hunting and mini games.
After the DLC started rolling out, I had accomplished a lot more, and I wanted to fight Ganon again. I beat the game again (now with all my memories and such, for the bonus ending scene), made sure to take photos of Calamity/Beast/BoL, and still didn't get my star. I missed a few White/Blue Lynel weapons that I needed for my Compendium, but at that point of progress, those guys only appear in the Gatehouses; after ten or so battles against them with those items never dropping, I surrendered and went to buy them from Symin. I had originally missed my Blight Ganon pics but got them during my second chance in Champions Ballad, so yay, but, I still needed Master Khoga, Calamity and Beast Ganons, and the Bow of Light. I learned that they were in the Elite Enemy category that unlocks after beating the game (which I did two or three times already), but it never unlocked for me.
My boyfriend still had three Divine Beasts to restore when he first fought Calamity, and he took end-game pictures (Ganons, BoL), and he got credit for those after he beat the game and resumed from his last save; he also had the elite photo category unlocked. I sat and watched him, he did everything like I did (except with less finesse and strategy than I demonstrate), but he got his star and the perks I was missing out on.
Another glitchy thing that happened during Champions Ballad was that my Shrines never appeared after clearing the four monster camps with the One-Hit Obliterator. I was running around all night murdering bees and boars, trying to figure out what I missed. My adventure log said I was done, but the shrines never rose. I rebooted my Switch, nothing. I closed and reopened the game, and they finally showed up. I stayed away from the Internet for a while to avoid spoilers, but when I realized that there was clearly a problem, I looked for help. I saw that some people had that shrine issue. and that it was driving them crazy trying to resolve it.
Still, no matter how much I look, I cannot find any explanation for why I'm being denied my star. I took Screenshots each time I beat the game, so I can prove what I did, and when. It's just bumming me out to think I might have to scrap my game by starting a new file, and losing my old file under a string of Autosave sessions. I suppose I should back it up onto my computer before I do anything risky. Any help? Anyone else know this pain? Is there an active, responsive, support E-mail address to direct my issue to? I really don't want to have to use my warranty credit to ship my entire Switch off to the abyss so it can be checked out.. I can never get any straight answers from the Best Buy employees and I had a really rough time getting my Joy-Cons replaced, so I just don't feel safe trusting them with my baby.
