The Goddess in the Ruins

Farther downhill there was a great ruin that I thought I recognized.

But the way forward was blocked by one or more little red piggish-looking devils: bokoblins.

Well, I had an axe.

I went and had it out with them.

And when I came close to the building, it was indeed the Temple of Time.

There were a few chests hidden around inside and outside, from which I took new weapons.

There were also a number of long-dead, rusted old.... things. Four-legged, tendril-legged, can-headed things. They looked like great upside-down cereal bowls.

I looted them too, and turned over several ancient screws and springs.

Inside the Temple of Time was a statue of the Goddess Hylia. When I approached her, the option came up to Pray. So I did.

This gave me simply a very nice view of the statue, and the words, The Goddess smiles upon you.

How nice. <3

I climbed all over the rest of the Temple, up onto the ruined roof. There was another treasure chest in a high chamber, and on top of the tallest spire.... I found a Korok!

The Korok seemed to have been expecting a Mr. Hestu.

I was not Mr. Hestu.

But the Korok gave me a Korok Seed anyway.

I guess I needed to find this Mr. Hestu.

I spent a while at the top of the spire before climbing back down.

David said, “You know what I would do?”

And, pulling out my Sheikah Slate’s scope, pretty sure I knew the answer, I said, “What, run toward that volcano as fast as you DYEAAUUUHHH—”

For I had looked at the volcano through my scope.

It was on the right side. At the time.

Oh my gosh.
