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.
Dear Readers,
From the last post I hiked over to the west side of the island. I checked out the summit of the hill as well but there was a Stone Talus here. I didn't bother with it.
On the west part of the island was a pinwheel and a tree stump. I had to shoot an arrow at one target that was jumping out of the trees in the distance. It took a few tries but I got it and earned another Korok seed.
Dear Readers,
From the last post I headed north to the Castle Town Prison Ruins. I had to deal with a Guardian along the way and I smashed it up by deflecting its lasers. There were flying ones as well but none of them spotted me.
I continued and came across three offering statues. In two of them were rusty shields, which made me groan at the thought of trying to find a third one. Luckily I was able to find one with Magnesis at some ruins to the southeast. This place doesn't really show any obvious signs that it was a prison. There are some walls but it doesn't seem any way recognisable as a prison. Anyway I placed the third shield for another Korok Seed. Then I took all the shields. I'll need them for all the Guardians.
