Those things I said "clued me in" to something to solve. From there, I did solve those problems. You're perfectly fine saying the hints weren't direct enough, and there we may just disagree (perhaps there should have been a telepathic glyph in the dungeon for Sahasrala to remind you of that secret in a cave south of Lake Hylia), but unless you are arguing that I did NOT actually solve those puzzles the way I said I did, then yes, they WERE clues.
Blast symbol? Are you talking about those 3 medallions? Yeah, there are 3 stones hidden across Hyrule and you need the book of mudora to read what they say, then you solve the riddle they give and get the medallion.
The blast symbol itself was rather obvious, in that it perfectly matched the symbol on the Blastos medallion. If you had obtained at least one of those, you might guess that you're missing one with the right symbol. As for the monoliths, that's tougher. The monoliths themselves are all in plain sight in 3 locations. Was Blastos the one hidden on top of Death Mountain? Perhaps that one should have been switched with the monolith by the desert, as it would be much easier to see on your way into the desert/swamp and when you switch back and forth exploring that area. Again, I'd say I figured it out well enough, but it does take a desire to explore the areas you visit instead of just plowing on through from one "objective" to the next.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
