Tears of the Kingdom Log – Day 12
Completed the Great Plateau quest. Unnecessarily tedious to teleport back to the same shrine, but the Container was worth it. Helped the horn player, then went to Hateno. Starting to just ignore diversions and am sick of caves. Don’t care for this Cece plotline either. Going to take a break from playing; no longer having…

Tears of the Kingdom Log – Day 11
More side questing and shrines. Finally got climbing gear. Great Plateau has some annoyances; chasm quest had no way to Ascend back up, and Shrine of Resurrection is somehow a natural cave now. Noting the lack of new mechanics being used meaningfully in a lot of these quests.

Tears of the Kingdom Log – Day 10
No story progress, just filling out the map (Hyrule Field and Faron) and side quests. Realized I’m completely bored of regular-paced climbing. Warping is a necessity by now. Got another Great Fairy.

Tears of the Kingdom Log – Day 9
I had a feeling returning to the Hyrule Field hub was key, and damn was I right. Started by digging out a passage from the emergency shelter into Hyrule Castle. You’re given materials for hammers so it wasn’t annoying. In fact, it was the most engaging cave yet. Got the full Knight armor set. Annoyed…

Tears of the Kingdom Log – Day 8
Went to the nearby tower and was surprised by how close I was to Zora’s Domain. Decided to go and handle the quest there. Wasn’t anything special. A lot of back and forth, A to B. The sludge doesn’t do much to hold you back. I pity the player who doesn’t get the Zora Armor…

Tears of the Kingdom Log – Day 7
Turns out the sky labyrinth was dead simple. My “reward” was getting to access ANOTHER labyrinth in the depths. It’s guarded by a tier 3 Zonai totem that can kill me in one hit and constantly teleport its weak spot out of reach. I bailed. Went for one last romp around Hebra, finishing a quest…

Tears of the Kingdom Log – Day 6
Spent the brief session today trying to get to that maze in the sky. Turns out you’re expected to fly there from the islands by the tower. A little annoying for a minimum-warp style. Almost got screwed over by the block ride dissolving out of nowhere. At least got some interesting devices out of the…

Tears of the Kingdom Log – Day 5
The back lowlands of mountains are boring as ever. Another itemless shrine; this one was a bit better, since I had to sneak my way to decent weapons, but combat stays a bit boring. Had to retrieve a crystal from a Frost Talus for another shrine. They freeze with every combo you land, it sucks.…

Tears of the Kingdom Log – Day 4
Not gonna have much time on work days, so started my circuit of Hebra, beginning in the southwest and ending northwest. It was one of those less interesting BotW sessions, trudging through terrain with no dedicated attractions, just a Korok here and there. Hebra’s beautiful in the rare sunlight, at least. Ran into a blue…

Tears of the Kingdom Log – Day 3
Climbed Hebra and completed the Wind Temple. Getting through Hebra was easier than expected. NPCs made it clear this was intended as the first major quest, and it showed with a far lower count of dangerous enemies along the way. Caves have failed to excite me; they’re visually drab and a bit annoying to navigate.…
