431 zelda breath of the wild - big weird metal door near the faron stable

Dear Readers,

So far the most annoying Faron Koroks are the ones around the waterfalls that involve a metal block.

I learned you can use Cryonis to make sideways ice pillars. Or maybe I did it before but don't quite remember. I gave up on one puzzle because the metal fell all the way down below and the puzzle was near the top.

I got the puzzle at the bridge waterfall since it was closer to the ground, but all the same it was very annoying and taxing. It was hard to get the positioning right so I could grab the metal block out of the water.

Once I got away from the waterfalls, Things got easier. I had to set a bunch of leaves on fire at the stable for another Korok. Other Koroks in the hills nearby had bunches of enemies in the way, but they were ok to deal with.

For some reason I found a big metal door in one of the ponds? I wonder if it belongs to anything.

430 zelda breath of the wild - faron koroks are annoying

Dear Readers,

I mean every word. It's very annoying hunting for Koroks in Faron, especially around the waterfalls area. Visibility is poor due to all the foliage, the bad weather and just the general murkiness of the graphics here.

The big dragon comes by every day and electrocutes you. It's so big it's hard to avoid it.

The area is densely packed with Koroks as well. They put way too many of them here.

The Koroks at the waterfalls are super annoying if you have to place metal blocks, because you can drop them in the water and it's a massive hassle switching between cryonis and magnesis trying to fish them out.

Lightning elemental wizzrobes are around here too and are very troublesome if they spot you. I just wanna find Koroks in peace!

429 zelda breath of the wild - relaxing at a cave with a korok

Dear Readers,

There are times in this game you just wanna hang out and enjoy it. While I was tracking down Koroks I found one in a very small cave. It provided a little shelter from the rain that was coming. I uncovered the Korok, set up a fire and knelt next to it and just looked out at the rain. It was a nice time with nice quiet company.

It can be found near the big tree in between Loshlo Harbour and Keya Pond. It was a lovely little secluded place to hang out.

The rain lasted until nighttime so I decided to just spend the night here. I'm spending a lot of time in the wilderness lately, so I set up fires to save me a few loading screens that would come with warping and I don't want to fight skeleton monsters right now.

428 zelda breath of the wild - korok golfing

Dear Readers,

I'm in the mountains of Necluda and I'm gathering many many Korok seeds. I've come across a big pool of water with a circle of stones in the centre. The only way I could get a rock inside it was to hit it carefully with stasis.

It was fairly awkward and it took me about half a dozen tries, but there were many rocks here. I had to be at a certain distance, facing a certain way, positioned a certain way, etc. It was very much like I was golfing in a Zelda game.

It's kinda fun, though not so much when it doesn't work out. I've used Stasis very little in the game besides solving puzzles. Last time I used a raft and another time I used octo balloons, but I think I like this golfing thing more than either of them.

427 zelda breath of the wild - koroks in lurelin village

Dear Readers,

I continued the Korok seed hunt towards Lurelin Village.

It was very nice diving in the circles of flowers for seeds. The ones on the roofs of the houses were tricky though. With one I had to pick off an apple that was in the wrong place. With another I had to chase the flower between different trees.

The trickiest of all was the circle of stones on one of the roofs. The stone I needed was on the ground and I had to figure out how to get it up on the roof.

I tried Octo balloons and the Korok Leaf but I was still having trouble. Then I learned that I had to go into first person Korok Leaf mode by using the R button. This let me aim where I wanted to fan the leaf. I had no trouble then.

426 zelda breath of the wild - koroks on hateno beach

Dear Readers,

I went beachcombing for the next new Korok seeds.

It's a lot of fun splashing around in rock pools looking for them. I think my favourite way to find them so far is to dive into a body of water with a circle of flowers.

There was one fairly difficult part where there was a circle of stones in the water that was too far to throw a stone into from dry land. What I did instead was use a map online to find a raft I was able to use to carry the rock nearer to the circle of stones. I also learned(or remembered I'm not sure) that I can make a fire on the raft to change night back to day. That is very handy.

I'm sure it was intended that I use stasis and do some kind of golfing technique to shoot the rock into the circle of stones, but I wanted to use a raft, even though it took a while to sail it over here. There were lots of stones lying around so I could've taken many shots.

425 zelda breath of the wild - korok hunting in hateno

Dear Readers,

I downloaded a map with the Korok seeds filled in and I'm now using it to help me find all the seeds! It'll be very handy. I do not feel like exploring this world without a guide anymore.

I marked off about 8 and already I got attacked by Yiga, water Octorok and got sniffed at by Bokoblins. I don't want to deal with any of them right now.

Why didn't I think of climbing to the tip top of Hateno lab before? I thought I'd at least do that. Anyway, I have it now!

I'm starting close to my house in Hateno and I'm using MS Paint to make marks on the map as I go along.
