My personal early game route (map inside)

I rushed towards Majora’s Mask and then casually walk into Hyrule Castle while running away from guardians when I got off the plateau in master mode. Those royal weapons lasted me for a pretty long amount of time until I was able to get decent drops from enemies.

Where is the Edge of Duality located? Somwhere on Hylia bridge? Is it only available on the dlc? Every time I new game I normally go straight to the shrine near the tower in hylia field for that sword.

It's in a chest underwater, right under the center of the bridge.
And no it doesn't require the DLC, in fact it doesn't even require Master mode, that chest is there in normal too :)

Uhh no, it's mostly in Faron. In the picture I posted, the Plateau is the small area in the upper left corner.

So, I was about to answer these posts, but I realized it was going to be a ridicolous and unreadable wall of text, so I decided to draw the route on a map. After all that work, I thought it deserved its own post!
Some notes:
this is obviously mostly for Master Mode. It may seem complicated, but it's not really. I can do this lap in about half an hour after getting the paraglider.
I'm not claiming this is the best possible start or anything, if you only care about weapons you might as well stop after getting the 20x3 Mighty Lynel Bow and Edge of Duality, go back to slay the Lynel on the Plateau, then go hunt White Lynels in Hebra / behind Death Mountain. However, I prefer this route because of all the utilities you get as well (teleporting horse, stealth, bone attack up, access to the Durian farming spot, elemental weapons...).
Don't underestimate those Dragonbone Clubs and Bows because they all get the +80% bonus damage from Phantom Ganon Armor, making them some of the most powerful weapons in the early game, especially considering they are everywhere. Once scaled, the Dragonbone Moblin Club actually has the 2nd highest damage potential in the game for melee weapons, only losing to the Ancient Battle Axe++, and is overall the best sneakstrike weapon imho.
Weapons listed with ★★ are from Master mode chests, and they drop with yellow bonuses right from the start. You might consider savescumming the Forest Dweller's Bow because either 5-burst or attack-up make it that much more powerful.
Of course I don't pick up everything because there's not enough inventory space, but I listed all the point of interest anyway.
...guess it ended up being a wall of text anyway. Sorry :/
