Today's completions (2/2):

Today's completions (1/2). Haven't been able to play much lately, so I actually sat down and played for most of the day.

I feel like the game is nearly over for me, as everyone is guiding me towards Hyrule Castle. At one point, I landed on the castle and a cutscene launched telling me to go find Zelda.

I still have a lot of stuff I'd like to do just yet first, mostly seeing all the tear memories and mapping all the areas. I don't even have the Master Sword just yet. But the end is in sight.

This Week's Fancy Pants Meal: Tamatar Shorba (Garden Tomato Soup)

Dunno if I'd make this again, and absolutely not on a budget. There's a lot of food that goes into this, but you end up wasting the bulk of it. This is less a soup and more a tomato/apple stock so you cook the heck out of the ingredients, then throw the bulk away once it's cooked out.

It's good, though. Really good. And now I know how to make something I order at Indian places. But this is definitely something for when money isn't as much of an issue.

Today's Completions.... (3/5)

Today's Completions.... (2/5)

Today's Completions.... (1/5)

Okay, so yeah, going to the Rito area triggered a ton of quests, many of which (1) already solved, making for immediate completions or (2) technically solved, but couldn't do anything until Penn activated the quests.

Also, finally getting some memories, too, and finally getting some storyline filling in. And I'm REALLY liking the story.

105 Hours into the game so far, and I'm loving every minute of it.

It's not Ganonhorf, but it'll do.

#tearsofthekingdom

Oh, no. HER.

I just realized Penn gets all his news and rumours from "little birdies." As in the cliche, "A little birdie told me...."

It's not the Gerudo veils, but I do like this look, Linkle.
