512 zelda breath of the wild - the korok in the shrine of resurrection

Dear Readers,

There was a Korok in the Shrine of Resurrection! Right where I first opened my eyes! On the map I thought it was outside but nope! It was right in here! Apparently it only shows up once I do all the main quest stuff on the plateau. I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to find it outside. I'm glad I looked up where it actually was.

511 zelda breath of the wild - river of the dead golfing puzzle

Dear Readers,

I went to the bottom of the waterfall at the end of the River of the Dead and found a golfing puzzle where I had to knock a stone into a circle of stones using Stasis. It took me ages and I had trouble hitting the stones with swords because the ground was uneven. I had to use jump attacks. I was able to get a stone in with exactly 3 jump attacks of a sword. I got a Korok seed for my trouble. It was fairly annoying but I'm glad I got it done.

510 zelda breath of the wild - bridge of the dead

Dear Readers,

I hiked down towards the River of the Dead and over to the bridge that I crossed so many years ago when I first started the game.

There was a sparkling spot under the bridge and I couldn't reach it on my own. When I tried my health went down rapidly due to the fast flowing icy water.

I had to cross to the other side to gather a big piece of metal with Magnesis and place it as close to the sparkling spot as possible.

509 zelda breath of the wild - ice block northwest of keh namut shrine

Dear Readers,

I warped back to Keh Namut Shrine and went northwest to a big icy block on the wall. I melted it down for another Korok seed. I had to smack some Keese along the way.

508 zelda breath of the wild - two koroks outside mount hylia

Dear Readers,

Southeast of Mount Hylia summit were two Korok seeds very close to each other. I found them on the outside of the wall on narrow ledges. Each of them were under stones and one of the stones was under a big slab I had to knock away with Stasis.

507 zelda breath of the wild - mount hylia stone circle

Dear Readers,

I'm moving back to the Great Plateau where it all started so I can get more Korok seeds. I warped back to the shrine on Mt Hylia. Somewhere near the summit I found a circle of stones with a handy stone nearby. I placed it for another seed.

506 zelda breath of the wild - nephra hill's lone stone

Dear Readers,

From the stone circles on Nephra Hill, I went down east towards the water and parachuted off the cliff to a ledge below that had a lone stone on it. I picked it up for another Korok seed.

505 zelda breath of the wild - nephra hill's stone circles

Dear Readers,

I went back to this area to take care of a couple of Korok stragglers before moving on.

There were three circles of stones in this area. I cleared the area of wolves and then had a look at it. One of the circles was missing a stone in the very centre. I used Stasis to find the stone and put it in place for another Korok seed.

504 zelda breath of the wild - korok between mount hylia and stalry plateau

Dear Readers,

I headed south from the last puzzle and glided down to a barren plateau that seemed to be there just to separate areas. There really wasn't much here except for a pinwheel Korok on a mound. I had to shoot a few target balloons for another seed. This one wasn't difficult at all thankfully.

503 zelda breath of the wild - wall metal block puzzle south of keh namut shrine

Dear Readers,

I warped to Keh Namut Shrine on the plateau, just east from my last Korok seed find. I headed south and scrambled along the walls, searching for a Korok that was on the map I was using. Eventually I found a metal block puzzle that I solved for another seed. This one was really tucked out of the way.

502 zelda breath of the wild - digdogg ring of flowers

Dear Readers,

I'm really beginning to migrate away from the Gerudo area now. I made my way to the Digdogg Suspension Bridge area. On the largest of the islands here there is a ring of flowers in the water south of it. I dived in for another Korok Seed.

I had to deal with some annoying Octoroks and the raft but I got it in the end.

501 zelda breath of the wild - ball and chain in gerudo valley

Dear Readers,

I glided across the canyon from the cliff in the last post to the one on the opposite side of the canyon, though it's not really the canyon anymore as I'm making my way out of it. Anyway, on top of this cliff was a ball and chain puzzle. I hadn't seen one of these in a long time. I put it in the hole for another Korok seed.

I had to deal with a Yiga attack as well. I beat it up handily.

500 zelda breath of the wild - metal puzzle near the lone tree in gerudo canyon

Dear Readers,

Slightly south from the lone tree from last time on some scaffolding, I spotted a metal block. Below the metal block was the puzzle to which it belonged. It was obscured by a tent. I put the block in place for another Korok seed.
