Shrine 77 found behind a waterfall in Faron. I'd actually guessed this one ages ago, but was too lazy to go look for it. The Faron region might be the least exploration friendly in the map. The shrine radar gave me the extra nudge I needed to beat the laziness.

I went to the castle. Spent a while farming guardians (can't believe that's a sentece I wrote) then got close enough that the game showed a cutscene with ganon flying around, and EPIC music started playing.

After a couple minutes, I just stop. it feels wrong. The music is epic, but I'm arbitrarily sneaking in before the right time to steal a memory and some royal guard items or whatever. I'm very invested in the plot at this point, and I want the attack on the castle to be the real deal. This ain't it. I teleport out.

Shrine 78 is gotten on death mountain, from a quest about finding a hungry goron lost in a tunnel, then carrying a meat-shaped rock uphill to feed him (a classic from majora's mask). The game tries to make this difficult by spawing more moblins than logic should allow and have all of them spam fire arrows while fire chuchus attack

But...

Is it just me but getting the full flame set and upgrading it twice trivializes the whole region. Link just casually NOPEs all the fire attacks and takes the rock all the way to the top.

Well, at least watching the happiness with which gorons "cook" a piece of rock then chew it is pretty amusing. And the shrine is a weird one, with a slope that drops both endless deadly boulders and endless money. Greedy Hill or something. Cool theme. Shrine 78 down.

Akkala is really beautiful when you jump from death mountain and look at the region from the top. The NPCs say it's empty, but it's really full of landmarks, like a platformer game or something.

I challenge a blue lynel. One mipha's grace, 2 fairies and a broken guardian axe ++later, I realize this isn't working. Gotta start with the red one first, I guess.
