When the trailers for the game came out, showing off some of the story, I had an inking that the story was going into a dark place. The more I play this, the more I think this Princess Zelda story is going into a very very very dark place.

So I knew I was gonna go see the Gerudo today, and I was gonna power through somehow, which is why I ended running through all 25 Zelda amiibo to stock up. Went up the lighthouse in Kara Kara Oasis, and flew straight for Gerudo town.

When I didn't make it the whole way, I took off all my clothes for heat resistance (which didn't 100% work as I still took damage), ate a meal that gave me extra hearts (ate a meal which gave me some heat resistance), and straight up dead reckoned through the sand shroud (which wasn't easy as they put a rift in there now to keep you from, well, dead reckoning).

AND I MADE IT. Nothing's gonna keep me out of Gerudo Town. :)

Tears of the Kingdom isn't easy at all, but it is easier if you remember all your Breath of the Wild knowledge to keep you alive (eat eat eat).

1 - I'm gonna have FOUR Eponas at this rate.

2 - Ganonhorf. XD

Burning off some of my frozen meals to save money on groceries. Today's dinner? MENUDO.

I realize Nintendo isn't beholden to my personal headcanon, but making such a big deal of Link being the only voe allowed in Gerudo town...AND some of the disdain he gets for that...makes me kinda sad.

Almost like being personally misgendered....

I promise, no Tears of the Kingdom posts tomorrow. Gonna go out an touch some grass and enjoy the clear blue skies and sun.

How do YOU pronounce Pokémon?
"Poke-kae-mon?"
"Poke-ee-mon?"
"Poke-uh-mon?"

No stable, no problem. Epona will just go shopping

#tearsofthekingdom .

Two Eponas? No open stables? Well. This is awkward.

#tearsofthekingdom

So I maxed out the amount of meals I could hold. Plus un-degraded weapons? Even once a day, TWENTY FIVE amiibo is not fair.

#26 is on its way.

#tearsofthekingdom

Oh. I can use amiibo, you say? TIME TO LOAD UP ON INVENTORY.

#tearsofthekingdom

One more down before bed.

#tearsofthekingdom

I. MUST. GO. THERE. AS. SOON. AS. POSSIBLE.

#tearsofthekingdom

Link is so TINY. Even for a Hyrulean.

#tearsofthekingdom

Setting them up. Knocking them down.

Mind you, one took all of twenty seconds....

#tearsofthekingdom

Purah's all grown up! I wonder how many years have passed since BOTW or if she's using the runes to correct her age. I love that she still does the finger-eye-gesture thingy.....
