Dang, I'm enjoying taking pictures of each one, and now I regret posting a random youtube video in the first post, for Katosa Aug shrine...

59. Shrine Quest: Master of the Wind (Kass)



Kass quests are a good example of World Riddles: quests or riddles that make you think about the world or environment, and therefore, make you roleplay a little bit. You have to read something, and then actually understand what the text said.

Games have drifted away from this, sadly. These days, they give you waypoints, and compass markers, and worse yet, they highlight the things in the environment that are important. You barely have to use your eyes!

Kass is one of several clever ways that Breath of the Wild has world riddles, in a way that fits the game's lore...kinda. (But also, he kinda does not make any sense. Why is there this bird, with these 4 line songs, that give puzzles to our hero?? That's ok, I'll give him some Joke Factor points.)

Unfortunately, as much as I love Kass, a lot of his quests are a bit disappointing, in hindsight. It's usually pretty obvious what you have to do, and you're done in like 10 seconds. Or you just have to be somewhere at a certain time of day, and it's just irritating. (Some are good though!)

I think this Kass Quest is pretty good, because of the Confusion Factor. What Kass said makes some sense...but what the heck are we even looking at? This structure of rocks in the area, require some studying, and some bomb placement, to figure out how it's supposed to work. It's fun!

I'll throw in some Multi-Solution points, because some of those rocks are actually hard to bomb, because of all the wind blowing your bombs around!
