The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (contains spoilers) (2025)

Whooo!

Got those last few Luminous stones! Radiant Armour is all upgraded.

Also made it to the Lakeside Stable, so I was able to also get another bit of my Stamina Wheel updated. One more upgrade (which means another four shrines) and I'll be able to get another full wheel, then I can switch back to hearts.

Now I'm gonna see about gathering some Ice eyeballs, and then it's another run through the depths on the way to Kohga.

One Strip! One Strip!

Puffshrooms and Muddlebuds are so busted, especially Puffshrooms. If they were in the last game, I guarantee they would be removed in this game like the Hearty Durians.

-Witty line-

Hearty Durians are still around, just harder to find.

The Protomen enhanced my life.

Oh. I thought they were completely removed in the game. Was there a food item that didn't carry over from Bot W?

-Witty line-

Hearty foods are less busted in this game because if you have bonus hearts, but are then effected by Gloom long enough to reduce your max hearts, you IMMEDIATELY lose all your bonus hearts.

I love Muddlebud flowers. Fun fact: In a competition of a swarm of Bokoblins and a Boss Bokoblin, the little guys, in my experience, usually win. The attrition is too much for the Boss to handle. Though the Bokoblins do suffer casualties and those remaining are almost dead by then.

I know the devs decided no DLC, but just a Master Mode update would have been nice.

Then again, "JUST" is a little unfair. Changes and additions to the world in BOTW's Master may be minor, but the devs still had to go through and place them (not counting monsters that already exist being able to level up once more, which probably just requires a changing of a variable in the code or something). And for Tears, they'd have to do so for 3 layers of map.

Actually, I'm curious from the artbook: Are there any concepts for level 5 Soldier and Captain Constructs?

I'm starting the Josha quest. It's crazy how dark things are in the Depths, you think things are miles apart, then you light the area up and it's all "Oh, there's the statue."

I'm glad Gloom Froxes are not a thing. Gloom Taluses are annoying enough.

-Witty line-

I haven't fought the Gloom Taluses yet. Though I've dealt with two froxes so far. I'm also glad they aren't covered in gloom.

I've made some Sundelion based meals to deal with Gloom myself, though I haven't used them yet.

One Strip! One Strip!

Double post: Made it to East Akkala Stable.

I'm just a short bit away from the Akkala Tech Lab and being able to get the Travel Medallion. I'm debating if I want to go for it. I got twelve hearts, and my current armours are upgraded to level 2.

Also, I'm still grinding for Ice Keese Eyeballs in the North Biron Snowshelf Cave (where you find the Vah Medoh Divine Helm), so I'm trying to kill a bit of time while I wait for them to appear in the cave again.

It's two Yiga archers and a blademaster defending the lab, a fight you can probably sleepwalk through

Bite Down

I would have food just for healing and a few spare weapons just in case some break.

"May your heart be your guiding key"

So like, do they attack together, or individually?

One Strip! One Strip!

The Blademaster uses wind attacks while the two archers jump around and fire their bows or attacks with their blades.

"May your heart be your guiding key"

Yeah. I remember that. So they do attack as a team then? That's gonna be annoying. But I do have Ghost Tulin, Sidon, and Yunbobo with me. Not Riju yet, but that'll come.

But you guys say I got this, so I got this.

One Strip! One Strip!

I completed the Josha Quest. Wasn't hard following the statues and thankfully they didn't have annoying enemies all around. The Grove of Time sounds important, but its an infestation of Gloom Evermeans. Nuts to that.

The Kohga fight was easy. I find it funny how Link just appears in the battle area for the fight, either meaning that Kohga telepoeted him there or Link just casually walked up to it to do the fight. My Kilton figure pose for Kohga will be him stuck halfway into the ground.

I also thought as he flew away that his wing would hit the side of the wall and he would lose a fan.

I'm not going to chase after him until I do the Gerudo region later. Now I'm trying to decide if I start Robbie's quest for Hateno, do Central Hyrule or start Death Mountain.

-Witty line-

Alright. Got the Travel Medallion. Even managed to nab the upgrade that lets me set a second gate.

That'll be useful. Think I'll work on getting more Ice Keese Eyeballs next, and then finally, it's back to the Depths.

Man, it's taken me a long time to get to this. There were just so many other things I wanted to do first.

One Strip! One Strip!

I was surprised that Kohga is not a statue picture. Aw, I got him in a funny pose too. I went with a Depths Evermean, though, because of the design.

I'm at Hebra trying to farm some Ice Keese Eyeballs. They aren't as common as I thought.

When I get the travel medallion, one spot is automatically going to be Tarrey Town. How there's no shrine there baffles me.

-Witty line-

I didn't know the Travel Medallion was in the game. I went through the entire damn game without it.

Once Upon A Time.

Really? You never went to the Akkala Lab?

Robbey didn't mention it when you met him at Hateno?
