538 zelda breath of the wild - symmetrical metal puzzle around spring of courage

Dear Readers,

Around the Spring of Courage is a big structure. On one side of it I found a metal puzzle. I didn't see any metal block so I assumed it was on the opposite side of the structure. My assumption paid off when I saw it on the other side!

I took great care carrying the metal block from one side to the other so I could get the Korok seed. I didn't want to upset any enemies in the area, even though I'd say I'd be well able for them now. The structure was in ruins and footing was uneven, but I managed it well in the end with both Magnesis and bare handed carrying.

537 zelda breath of the wild - knocking the boulder too far in damel forest

Dear Readers,

East of the last post was a place called Damel Forest. I never explored here much because I was always nervous of the place after all the enemies I had to deal with on the way to the Spring of Courage during a much earlier stage in my adventures here.

In the northern part of this forest is a puzzle where it looks like I need to make four boulders symmetrical. However, I knocked the mismatching one too far down and couldn't get it back up on the platform I needed. It looks like I'll have to come back later when the puzzle resets.

In other news, I marked off a ton of Korok Seeds I had found before in nearby areas. The map I'm using is looking better and better!

536 zelda breath of the wild - matching trees east of lake hylia

Dear Readers,

From the last post I headed up the hill and hiked southeast towards a hill with three trees on it. It was nighttime and I had to deal with at least two sets of Stalkoblins annoying me.

When I got there I saw that it was a simple make the trees match puzzle. I picked the hearty durians I needed to make the trees the same and the Korok appeared.

535 zelda breath of the wild - boulder golf on east lake hylia bank

Dear Readers,

I swam north along the shore from the last post in east Lake Hylia. I did a Zora armour attack on an Octorok that was annoying me too. I continued along the shore until I spotted a boulder shaped hole on the embankment.

From there, I climbed up the hill and spotted three boulders that were ready to be rolled down into the hole. I pushed the middle one down the hill and didn't sink it straight away, but I got it close to the hole. It was night time so I smacked a Stalkoblin that was annoying me before going down to the boulder. It was right next to the hole so I just pushed it in and got another Korok seed.

534 zelda breath of the wild - shooting balloons in east lake hylia

Dear Readers,

I swam over to the east banks of Lake Hylia from the metal crate island from the previous post. I mostly ignored the Octoroks shooting at me along the way. I found a pinwheel on the shore that spawned a few balloons that were easy enough to hit for another Korok seed.

533 zelda breath of the wild - metal crate island in lake hylia

Dear Readers,

In east Lake Hylia I found a little island that was surrounded by metal crates in a square pattern. When I used Magnesis I saw that the pattern was incomplete and there was a stray crate nearby. I used Cryonis to reach it and Magnesis to place it in the square pattern for another Korok seed. I note that I wasn't able to move any of the other metal crates.

532 zelda breath of the wild - ring of flowers in east lake hylia

Dear Readers,

I glided out to the east side of Lake Hylia and found this ring of flowers in the water below. I simply put the paraglider away and dropped into the circle, obtaining another Korok seed. Lovely and easy! The ring is found at the tip of a spit of land jutting out from the edge of the lake.
