588 zelda breath of the wild - hyrule castle town wall balloon shooting challenge

Dear Readers,

On the wall east of the gate to Hyrule Castle Town was a pinwheel with a balloon shooting challenge. There were a few balloons circling around and at one point they lined up, which may suggest I'm able to shoot more than one at a time, but I never did. I popped them all eventually and got the Korok seed.

587 zelda breath of the wild - racing to central square

Dear Readers,

On the west side of the gate to Hyrule Castle Town was a platform with a timed race to reach the ruined structure in the central square. I just went for broke and ran.

I ran through sludge and eventually made it to the structure — I dunno what it was maybe a fountain? Anyway I got the Korok seed.

I thought I'd be zapped by many Guardians but just the one came after me. I took it on and made short work of it.

586 zelda breath of the wild - hyrule castle town gate korok

Dear Readers,

I headed north to Hyrule Castle Town Ruins, fully expecting to be targeted, and I was. It was from a decayed Guardian a good ways away. I was going to avoid it but I was looking for the Korok around the front gate so I decided to deflect its laser to smash it up.

It took me ages to find the Korok at the front gate. I even went inside the walls to look for it. Eventually I got fed up and looked up a guide. The guide said the Korok appears when you shoot the shield above the inside of the gate and that the arrows already stuck in the shield were supposed to be a clue. I groaned after all that searching in such a dangerous place but I won't complain too much as it only took another arrow for it to appear.

585 zelda breath of the wild - sacred ground ruins korok

Dear Readers,

From the last post I headed northeast to the next stop, the Sacred Ground Ruins. I was here before but I didn't get the Korok seed so I came back. I was attacked by the same Guardian as before but I'm much more confident in dealing with it now. Three shield deflects and it was gone.

The Korok itself was on the northeastern pillar, under a stone. I uncovered it for another seed.

584 zelda breath of the wild - tree balloon in passeri greenbelt

Dear Readers,

From the last post I headed east towards another wooded area. I found one of the Korok seeds that were here but I came back to find the other one. I thought it might be another apple tree matching puzzle but it wasn't, thankfully. Up in one of the thicker trees was a balloon and I struck it with my double axe for another Korok seed.

Also I was attacked by Stalkoblins on the way here but they were easy enough to handle.

583 zelda breath of the wild - tree hollow in west woods of passeri greenbelt

Dear Readers,

I hung around in the same bit of woods as last time because there was another Korok seed to find. I found it in a hollow of one of the bigger trees in this patch of woods.

582 zelda breath of the wild - korok sprite in west woods of passeri greenbelt

Dear Readers,

From the last post I headed northeast to a small patch of woods. It was dark, it was rainy, but it was peaceful, thankfully. When I got there I heard a Korok fairy flitting around the ground and caught up to it for another seed.
