Once I did, everything changed colors. There is an eerie atmosphere and a surreal look. The first trial, Farore&#8217;s Silent Realm, has begun.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-152 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss96.jpg\" alt=\"Farore's Silent Realm\" width=\"310\" height=\"154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss96.jpg 310w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss96-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/>Apparently to achieve spiritual growth, I have to collect 15 glowing seeds&#8230;oh excuse me, Tears of Farore. The look of this area and the collecting objective reminded me of Twilight Princess, which I wasn&#8217;t a huge fan of. This area has a catch though; if you get hit by an enemy even once, you fail the trial. The good news is that collecting a Tear of Farore freezes most enemies for 90 seconds. On my third try, I completed the trial. My reward was the Water Dragon&#8217;s Scale. It allows me to swim and dive underwater (finally).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-153 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss97.jpg\" alt=\"Receiving the water dragon's scale.\" width=\"310\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss97.jpg 310w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss97-300x152.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/>My next task was to use my newfound swimming ability to explore a new area of Faron Woods and find the first sacred flame. Water shows up on the map, so it wasn&#8217;t hard to get started on my way. It eventually led to me climbing up the Great Tree. Here I&#8217;m encountering a very large new enemy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-154 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss98.jpg\" alt=\"Whoa, you go, big guy!\" width=\"310\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss98.jpg 310w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss98-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/>Once I reached a bird statue, I stopped and saved my game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After exploring a nearby island, I headed down to Faron Woods.
