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
Dear Readers,
I climbed back down from the last pinwheel to find another on a balcony. I had trouble looking for the balloon so I had to look it up. It turns out the balloon is in the distance to the south, hovering above another part of the castle structure. I shot a few arrows into the air above the balloon so I could reach it eventually, earning me another Korok seed.
Dear Readers,
I headed through the front gate of Hyrule Castle and ran up the road until I got to the point where it turns to the left. Then I climbed up until I reached the top of of this part of the castle. There was a pinwheel up here and I had to shoot a couple of balloons that went back and forth behind some goop. I also had to smash a decayed Guardian on the way up here. I finished the pinwheel archery challenge for a Korok seed.
Dear Readers,
The last Korok seed at the front gate of Hyrule Castle was on top of the gate itself, under a stone. I was delighted to finally get it. After all the Guardians I had to deal with, including two that spotted me while I was climbing on the gate itself, I made sure to bop the Korok on the head with its own stone.
Dear Readers,
The next Korok seeds at Hyrule Castle front gate was under the bridge in a tiny nook that seemed custom made to hold the acorn that was inside it. I shot it for another seed. Seeing that little nook made me annoyed. I would've preferred it if the acorn was hanging from the bridge instead.
Dear Readers,
I have over 500 Korok seeds now! It's now time for me to look for the ones in Hyrule Castle!
Things did not start well. The moment I tried to run through Castle Town Ruins, I was targeted by two Guardians and Stalmoblins sprouted and Yiga started laughing... it was too much at once. I reloaded my save and took care of them one by one, inching towards the front gate of Hyrule Castle.
While there I was attacked by the flying Guardian, which takes longer to smash than the regular ones with shield deflects. It took ages and it went out of range now and again, which was annoying but I finally smashed it for a bit of peace and quiet.
There were three Korok seeds around the front gate. The first one I did involved having to go under the bridge for the sprout and chase it by climbing along the bridge until I got the seed. I'm glad I finally got it over and done with. It also reveals a nice way to get inside without having to open the gate. I'll mention the other two seeds over the next two posts.
Dear Readers,
From the last post I headed south and climbed to the top of the dome that had the shrine. Up here I found a stone with a Korok underneath for another seed.
