Despite being about 60 hours into the game, I had never visited Kakariko Village yet…until now. An archaeologist wouldn’t let me near the largest of the Ring Ruins, the one that hovers in mid-air. But I did get to meet the new village chief, Paya.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Paya:<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Outside of town, I ran into Garshon, who made a good point about being alone. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Garshon:<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Nearby, I finally activated a tower that had me stumped when I was in this area previously. That’s the main reason I never found Kakariko Village sooner. The guy out front kept talking about mushrooms from a cave, so I thought I had to bring him some mushrooms before he’d open the door…but that didn’t work. But at least I finally got it activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing a shrine on a floating island, I dropped down into the Depths. I did some serious exploring and roaming down there, especially after I found an area with parts to make myself a new car.<\/p>\n\n\n

While climbing a slanted wall underground, Link’s hair swung forward as the camera awkwardly zoomed in. As a result, it looked like Link had a beard for a moment. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Link's<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I activated a whopping nine <\/em>new lightroots before I came upon an odd platform in the middle of an underground lake. When I used the Ascend ability, I found myself in a house with two Yiga Clan members. I was back in the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After defeating them, I teleported back to Lookout Landing. I redeemed some Korok seeds for new weapon\/bow slots, bought some arrows, and prayed to a goddess statue.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Praying<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Because I’ve found four “Sage’s Wills,” I was able to redeem them to make my bond with a sage stronger. I chose Yunobo, since his attack comes in handy during battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just outside of Kakariko Village, I ran into Beetz the drummer. He’s another member of the “Stable Trotters” musical troupe.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Beetz:<\/a>
They don’t allow you to have bees in here. \ud83d\udc1d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

First I helped him out by giving him some honey, and then I helped the entire troupe cross the river.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Crossing<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

They performed some music for the Great Fairy Cotera, and she popped out of her plant bud to enjoy the show.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"The<\/a>
She’s their biggest fan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I can now enhance my clothing to a second level, which should really help protect me from enemies (and those pesky one-hit kills).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I made my way over to Hateno Village for the first time. It wasn’t on the map, so I had some trouble finding it initially. Half the people here idolize Cece, the famous fashion designer.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Cece:<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Of course, the other half of the town is sick of the town being known only for Cece’s fashions. So there’s a bunch of political drama between Cece and the current mayor, Reede. He thinks her art installations…keep the vegetables awake at night? \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Reede:<\/a>
You could probably make a better argument than this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

They’re planning on having a mayoral election, and both sides are asking me to help spy on the other. Oof. That’s one side quest I’m not interested in right now. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I continued on to the research lab, but it was empty. So I couldn’t get my Sheikah Sensor thing here either. Oof. At this point, I figured it’s time to wrap up this entry. Here are my latest stats:<\/p>\n\n\n

See you next time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
