618 zelda breath of the wild - melting ice in the east passage

Dear Readers,

From the stream with the ring of flowers in the last post, I had to jump off the east ledge to go down even further to the road below, which had the entrance to the east passage.

Along this passage were some lumps of ice. I had to melt the largest one to reveal a Korok for another seed.

When I finished here I continued through the passage, dodging the Stone Talus and hurried up into the library, shooting the goopy eye thing. I backtracked through the library and all the way back to where I was near the second gatehouse. I'll continue from there next time. Glad to get that much out of the way at least.

617 zelda breath of the wild - ring of flowers near the east passage

Dear Readers,

I was looking for a Korok in the east passage of Hyrule Castle, which meant I had to go all the way northeast, having to deal with annoying Guardians along the way. I tried to go in through the library, but it was blocked because of those goopy eye things blocking it from the other side. It was very annoying.

Anyway, on the way there I found a stream with a ring of flowers on it below a waterfall. I dived in for another Korok Seed.

616 zelda breath of the wild - korok after the second gatehouse

Dear Readers,

The road after the second gatehouse is horrible and full of Guardians on either side of it. I had to go here to find the next Korok seed and I had to deal with so many of them, including the flying ones that take ages to destroy. I had trouble timing deflections on some of them too and I ended up having to use Mipha's Grace and everything. I fell off of cliffs and everything. It was not a good time.

Anyway, on one of the walls on the east side of this road was a stone with a Korok underneath.

615 zelda breath of the wild - acorn in small room near the dining hall

Dear Readers,

I climbed back down to the entrance to the dining hall. I went in and straight through the door ahead into a hallway. I used my guide to navigate my way to a room with a statue in it. It also had a Korok hiding in an acorn that was hanging from the ceiling. The guide I was using said I had to bomb a wall but it was already bombed? Maybe I already did that on previous excursions to the castle.

614 zelda breath of the wild - climbing the second gatehouse

Dear Readers,

From the last post I used Revali's Gale to get back up to where I was and climb up to the top of the second gatehouse. On the spire here was another Korok waiting to be found. I got revenge on a Guardian that zapped me earlier too.

613 zelda breath of the wild - below the waterfall near the dining hall

Dear Readers,

From the last post I headed northeast towards the entrance to the dining hall. From the waterfall nearby I had to drop down to a ledge that had a clump of bombable rocks on it. Under them was a stone with a Korok under that. It was a very murky area and I would never have come down here otherwise. I relied totally on the guide I was using. I got zapped several times by Guardians and I had to recharge both Revali's Gale and Daruk's Protection.

612 zelda breath of the wild - coat of arms after the front gate of hyrule castle

Dear Readers,

I had to stay in the area with the two pinwheels from the previous two posts in order to find the next seed. I had to look it up again and it turns out that I had to shoot the coat of arms that's part of the balcony. It was very annoying because it just looks so unremarkable and I'd easily miss it. Anyway, I shot it for another Korok seed.

It's also getting harder to come up with title names for these posts. There are a lot of seeds in Hyrule Castle
