Friday, 5 October 2018

35 night in the woods - the start of miss rosa's stories about granddad

Dear Readers,

I went down into the tunnel again. I couldn't believe they kept this place open. I wondered if it was because it was of historical note or if the old people liked the pierogi stand. I concluded it was the amazing ability of old people to get state funding.

Dear Readers,

I continued north from the Ranch Ruins, looking for apples and maybe a shrine. I detected a shrine to the east. I went in this direction and also spotted smoke coming from the top of a tall mound. I climbed this mound and met a lady named Benny. She talked about adventuring in general and looking from somewhere up high to get bearings. It paid off as I took a look at the shrine from up here and spotted a nearby stable I hadn't found yet! Woo! My hope to find Pikango for clues again was restored! :D

Dear Readers,

I warped back to Woodland Tower and went south instead of north this time. Almost immediately I found the Woodland Stable and its local shrine, Mirro Shaz Shrine. Well! That was embarrassing!

Dear Readers,

Night fell and I stayed on the mountaintops, even when I reached the Thyphlo Ruins. I looked all around and had no idea where to find the Woodland Stable. It was just badlands all around too. The ruins themselves were shrouded in this weird black cloud. When dawn broke I glided down towards them.

131 zelda breath of the wild - searching for the woodland stable

Dear Readers,

Now to look for the twelfth and final photograph memory area in the album! It was another tricky one though, as this photograph was mostly trees.

She also said she was thinking of going south to Lover's Pond to maybe find a partner if she was lucky.

A man named Regan was here too. He wanted to find a new life away from his village, away from fishing to find another career.

I continued along this path to Lurelin Village, a town on the coast, which had its own music! Bring in some gentle steel drums :)

67 zelda breath of the wild - reviving the great fairy kaysa

Dear Readers,

I decided to head towards the tower in the local region from Tena Ko'sah Shrine. I glided over the canyon, over the Guardian Skywatchers to the pillar on the other side. It had a pinwheel on top but it still scared the life out of me when the balloons made a sudden sound when they appeared. Yaah!

Monday, 7 May 2018

61 zelda breath of the wild - mapping out hyrule ridge on ridgeland tower, chatting with bird-man enthusiast branli

Dear Readers,

I got to the top of the tower and there was someone else up here! A man with glasses named Branli. How the heck did he get up here?! He was in his own world, muttering if only he were a "bird-man". I had an option to say "BOO!" but I decided to just *ahem...* as this was a very precarious spot.

Tuesday, 1 May 2018

41 zelda breath of the wild - gliding from the wind turbines in bosh kala shrine

Bosh Kala Shrine was near Proxim Bridge. If it wasn't for Brigo pointing it out to me, I wouldn't have seen it! That was nice of him :) I went inside and started "The Wind Guides You" trial.

Wednesday, 11 April 2018

40 zelda breath of the wild - hanging out with brigo of proxim bridge

Dear Readers,

On Proxim Bridge I met a man named Brigo. He was freaked out about the towers popping up in each region and about shrines and Guardians. He said he was here to patrol around the bridge in order to keep monsters away from it as it was an important route. He also had directions to various places.

Sunday, 25 February 2018

8 radiant historia - my first destiny altering decision

Dear Readers,

Rosch offered me a position in his brigade. If I took him up on it, that would mean I would have to leave Heiss and the Special Intelligence Division. All of a sudden, the White Chronicle started glowing again!

Dear Readers,

It turns out Yian Kut-Ku wasn't defeated but it had retreated to its lair, so we chased after it to its nest to fight again. This time it had an anime pulsating vein symbol on it, which meant that it was extra angry and vicious. It was also able to use the tackle attack again.

Dear Readers,

I had another go at the Darker Side with its increased difficulty. I gotta say it's nice to be welcomed by my in-game fans, the game's theme song and even the Cascade Kingdom theme was nice to return to!

82 super mario odyssey - keeping yoshi alive by eating fruit and not burning to death

Dear Readers,

There's a lot more to the Dark Side than the Broodal boss rush! When I defeated them, the place opened up with more stuff to do, more pictures to snap, doorways opened up to new sections and some more Toad explorers arrived.
