434 zelda breath of the wild - back out through faron woods for more korok hunting

Dear Readers,

After the waterfall puzzle, I headed west along the main road to collect Korok seeds littered all along the way. I say littered, but they were of course hidden well enough, and I wouldn't be able to find them if I didn't have the online map.

I got attacked by Yiga constantly. At one stage I was attacked by a big Yiga and a regular Yiga at the same time. I'm experienced enough and strong enough to hit them head on without much hassle, thankfully.

Besides them, I encountered red Bokoblins and green Lizalfos and it was lovely to beat them up quickly. I hope to see many more early game difficulty enemies! I'm getting tired of getting tangled with silver enemies that take forever to beat up.

Anyway, one of the puzzles along this road involved metal balls that were chained together. I had to use stasis to keep one in place while getting the other into place.

Dear Readers,

The metal block went back to its original position after that time I dropped it down the waterfall. I assume it was because of the blood moon? I wasn't sure though.

This time when I made the cryonis ice block emerge from the waterfall, I stood on it myself instead of placing the metal block on it. From there I was able to reach both the metal block and its destination to solve the puzzle. Very glad I can mark it off this time.

432 zelda breath of the wild - beachcombing for koroks at faron sea

Dear Readers,

While I was in the area I decided to continue west along the coast to collect more Korok seeds.

I got attacked by Lizalfos and Octoroks but I was well able to handle them. Most of the Korok puzzles here were metal block and under stone ones. There was the odd diving one which is still one of my favourite types of Korok puzzle.

I'm not sure but I think I can use the Zora attack to deflect Octorok rocks? I might have done that by accident. If that's the case then it's a game changer.

It is nice to walk along the beach looking for seeds. Sometimes it gets murky and I have to use Stasis to make the stones visible.

I finished up on the beach and fetched the Nautelle Wetlands Korok Seed. I spent the night in the tree, watching the blood moon pass by.
