Waking of Friday, October 12, 2018 ~ 2
Eventually I floated down all the
way to the Afromsia Coast.
I had reached the sea. At last I
could switch out my one defense point
Warm Doublet for something stronger.
There were more Koroks down here,
hiding beneath huge stone slabs on the beach. And it had already been quite a
fruitful Korok hunt up on the mountain! I was on a roll....
I started southward along the
shore, using my Zora Armor to swim for it whenever the beach ran out and gave
way to rocks, until I came to a certain Mapla
Point.... and its resident Talus.
I recognized it. This was the first
Talus David had ever defeated. I had helped him that time.
Now I took my own turn killing it,
after which I continued to scare up a mess of Koroks, as well as a lot of new seafood: crabs, fish,
porgies.... Lizalfos....
Following the coast, which bent in
a general westerly direction now, I swam across Deepback Bay—which I’d always
thought was a cool name whenever I saw it on my map—to reach Hateno Beach,
which I traversed, and traversed, scaring up Koroks and killing baddies all the
way, until I finally came to a
landmark I recognized: the Hateno trailhead.
But I saw something else that
piqued my interest, even further west.
Way up on top of a lone spire of
rock standing out in the water.... was Kass!
So I swam out to meet him—killing
an Octorok, in the water, along the
way! Felt so boss.... Its Lizalfos pal proved to be a bit more trouble, though.
Never mind him then! I swam out to the
rocks, the Lizalfos buggered off, and I climbed up to visit with Kass.
He sang me a song about a Hero’s Stash, located at 17 of 24....
and said that this rock would show the way....
Well anything of twenty-four had to
be a time of day.... and it was half past three! An easy wait.
And when five o’clock rolled
around, the rock spire’s shadow pointed to.... Eventide Isle.
Well.... I knew what was over
there.
I’d seen David do it.
Hadn’t done it myself yet! But....
Well.
Soon.
Before I took my leave from Kass’
rock I wanted to check if there were anything Magnesable in the surrounding
waters. I took out a Bomb instead on accident.
“Wah!” Kass jolted with a start! XD
I put the Bomb away, switched to
the appropriate Slate function, and swept the area.... but could see nothing.
Well.... no worries.
I paraglided back toward the shore,
coming up short and splashing down almost on top of that pesky Lizalfos I’d run
into before. And this time, I killed the beast—in the water! In its
own element! Excellent.
For old time’s sake I hiked up to
Hateno by the grassy seaside switchbacks. I even considered the house. But once
again I left it alone. I didn’t have the money for it at the moment anyway.
I’d picked up an awful lot of
Luminous Stone in my travels thus far. Breaking from the Korok hunt for a
spell, I warped to Cotera to see about my clothes. I had her do up my Radiant
Suit, but.... not the Climbing Pants yet. I still wanted to show Siara all the
funny animations, especially that fourth
one. Later.
As long as I was in the
neighborhood I paraglided across Kakariko Village and headed out the back door
to the Sahasra Slope—and had the easiest time I’d ever had killing all three
Guardians out there—and got a core
for my trouble!
Life was just a bowl of cherries today! ^_^
From thence.... it was just a big crawl around the Dueling Peaks and all
the western foothills and surrounding regions looking for more Koroks. It was,
once again, pretty fruitful! Though the Silver Bokoblins down in that silty
monster-nest did give me a bit of trouble. I thought I should see Hestu again
soon.... maybe....
But before I did, I decided to warp
over to Gerudo Town and check on Pokki.
She was in the canteen.
“I ask you, Furosa, is there
anything better than a taste of Noble Pursuit?” she asked as she leaned against
the bar.
“You were at death’s door and you
ran all the way here for that! Good grief... You’re in incredible shape,” said
Furosa in response, “Does that mean you don’t plan to investigate that shrine
anymore?”
“Definitely. I never dreamed that
kind of work would be so dull...”
Dull.
Hah....
“I’m not surprised you found it
dull,” said Furosa, “That sort of thing isn’t really “you”.”
“Yeah, you know what really is
“me”? Drinking.”
HAH! XD That made me laugh! It
was.... a little bit refreshing to have conversation so uncoddled from the
NPCs!
While I was there, I went to see
what those three gossips—Heh, Three Gossips—in the other room had to say. They
spoke of one Perda, who had gone to find the Lover’s Pond.
Hmmmm....
Maybe I would make it an adventure
for another day.
But for now....
It was time to head to Korok Woods.
And Hestu. I’d accumulated an awful lot of Korok Seeds since I’d last seen him.
I wanted to see what he might be able to do for me.
“Shaka-kala!” he exclaimed as always. With music notes flanking his
speech.
“Weapon please,” I asked. And he
obliged.
And when he had finished, “Dah-na-na-na-naaaaaaaa!” OH YEAH HE SANG
THE SONG! With more music notes flanking! XD I’d forgotten!
Ah! Delightful times. ^_^
Well I’d had 99 Korok Seeds on me,
and that expansion had cost me 45. And I asked, and the next weapon expansion
would cost 55. And I only had 54 left.
Rats!
Heh.... Guess
I cut my Korok hunt only just a
little too short....
Did I want to get another shield
slot in the meanwhile? I could afford it. But.... only one more Korok Seed and I could get the weapon; it’d be a
shame to let the opportunity go to waste.... Besides, in normal play I felt the
need for expansion more in my weapons inventory than in my shields.... Still,
maybe if I expanded my shield inventory some more, well, maybe it would run out
of upgrading room, like my bows had. Why
not....?
Nah.
Not right now. I decided to wait.
It’d been a great hunt, but.... I
was done for now.
I went to Pepp’s, and slept.
Good
night.
