247 zelda breath of the wild - zora pants obtained

Dear Readers,

I hung out in Zora's Domain for a while. I had a picture of a Lynel that someone here asked me to get. I don't remember her name. I showed her the picture and she gave me Zora pants! Just what I needed for the full set! I was wondering where I was gonna get it!

I then went to where the Divine Beast was. It wasn't hard to get there. Sidon was there waiting for me too. Maybe I'll just go ahead and do the story quest.

246 zelda breath of the wild - reading the texts on the road to zora's domain

Dear Readers,

I wanted to head to Zora's Domain. I wanted to read those texts they carved into walls along the path to the area. Before when I headed there I was trying to be careful around enemies.

This time I ploughed right through the enemies. I snuck up on them whenever possible and I lost quite a bit of health to the shock arrow archers. I got through them and the Moblins too.

I saw three or four of those inscription thingies. Are there more? I'm not sure. I might look it up someday.

For now I'll head into Zora's Domain for a while.

245 zelda breath of the wild - saving up to plant trees around my house

Dear Readers,

I wanted to grow some more trees around my house. Bolson offered to do it for 100 rupees.

I ran up to the tech lab and picked apples off the trees up there. I grabbed 10 and cooked two big lots of simmered fruit. I sold them at the general store for 100 rupees.

I then went back to Bolson and gave him the money for the job. They planted trees near the house. I don't know if they're apple trees but they're only saplings so I'll know soon enough. Might get a sign with my name on it sometime.

244 zelda breath of the wild - trotting along the beach and visiting the desert

Dear Readers,

I felt like doing more horse-riding, so I decided to head to the beach.

I went all the way to Lurelin Village and trotted along the sandy beaches. It was a really nice experience. I turned around and kept going west along the beaches, meeting a Guardian and dodging its beams.

Eventually I left and then I decided to head to Gerudo Desert. I got all the way to a block in the road. I moved the rocks by using magnesis on the metal one and using that to push the other rocks out of the way. I passed by the stable and when I got to the entrance of the desert, the horse wouldn't go any further. I can't take Spotty further than this, unfortunately.

After this I rode all the way home to Hateno.

3 dark void zero - final level beaten

Dear Readers,

I played through the entire third level/final level of the game. Very similar in structure to the previous two levels. This time it was all about blowing up a central control thingy by obtaining keycards at the ends of mazes.

It was all very doable and there were replinishing hearts everywhere. They were badly needed because there were just as many enemies that had to be taken down with multiple hits.

The extra thing to find this time were these little monsters in incubation tanks. It was nice to destroy them

At the end of it all was the same boss again, though just that little bit harder. It had all the previous routines plus another one where it took turns shooting in different directions. I had a good gun so I blasted it handily.

The end cutscene was nice, being glorified as a hero and all. 

All in all this was a very simple game but it worked so well as a game and had some very nice fun presentation behind it. Playing as a little fella flying around enemy mazes with a jetpack and a gun is pretty cool.

243 zelda breath of the wild - a horse ride through hebra

Dear Readers,

I took a notion to go horse-riding through the Hebra region. It was very doable, but the journey there was eventful enough.

I tried going through Hyrule Field but it was just crawling with Guardians. I decided it was better to stick going through the more southern parts of the area.

Riding through Tabantha I was surprised those floating guardian thingies didn't notice me. I was just lucky I suppose.

I drank an elixir for the weather on entering Hebra and I continued going until it ran out, which was just before exiting the other side of the region. That's kind of good to know. I should look for warmer equipment if I can find any.

I tried going into  Hyrule field again through the northwest road but there was a Guardian smack in the middle of the road ahead. I turned back. I did activate a shrine around here. It was called Zalta Wa. I'll complete it later.

I had fun with the Bokoblin mask by wearing it. They didn't show any hostility while I was on horseback so that was nice. I even gave some of them apples. I gave apples to Spotty too of course!

I rode all the way back to Hateno before calling it a day.

242 zelda breath of the wild - cooking ham and eggs

Dear Readers,

I got a notion to have some ham and eggs, or at least cook what this game's equivalent of it is.

I recall spotting boars in the region where Tarrey Town is so I rode all the way there and hunted some for raw prime meat. Then I rode to Hateno Village where I could buy or obtain eggs. I decided to buy some.

Cooking the meat with the egg gives you a meat skewer. Not the most accurate but it's still good food. Cooking an egg alone gives you an omelette.

I also discovered that you can have too many meals to store, which is pretty weird. Well it's not weird but I wasn't expecting that.
