Never should have doubted me.

"Dear Zelda,

I’m back, baby! Who’s the hero? I’m the hero!


Did you know the Master Sword can be tempered to be more powerful? One of the dwarf blacksmiths were trapped, as a frog, in the Dark World. I freed him and brought him home. As thanks, the two of them made the Master Sword stronger. It’s also red, so rad.


Tonight I marched right into the Ice Palace. It’s in Lake Hylia and is filled with ice dudes who melt from the wall. The Fire Staff makes quick work of them, though. There are more mobs I’ve already dealt with before, so who cares? I hate traps, though. Things that shoot fire at me hurt. And I really hate spike balls. There are frozen floors scattered about down here, but the hookshot allows you to zoom across them. The boss was pretty...chill. Hehe. That Fire Staff really makes quick work of him. One of the maidens tonight told me that all of the big guys were Ganon’s loyal servants. I wonder why they keep such items in their hideouts. Disloyal servants, after all? I also found a new armor tonight, so I can finally take off my uncle’s armor. ...

Next, I went to Misery Mire. It’s where the desert is in our world. To get in, I had to climb Death Mountain again. West of Hera’s Tower is an ancient tablet. Rising the Master Sword above my head imbues it, and me, with new magic. I now have control of lightning! That’s Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, and steel at my disposal! I may need you to reign me in, Zelda.

Inside the mire is more of the same mobs. I once again have problems with the fireball shooting tiles. Why am I so bad? At the bottom of it all was some weird goopy thing. It shoots eyes at you, but my new Master Sword made quick work of them. It also shots lightning at me, but I just tanked it and kept on fighting. Eventually, one eye remains, and it bounces around the room. It may panic, but I didn’t. The last maiden told me Arngrim works for Ganon, the real evil in this world.

Zelda, I love Hyrule. I don’t know if I do as much as you do, but I recognize that I’d be nothing without having the whole community behind me. From my uncle, the dwarfs, the Great Fairy, and so many more. And you. I’m coming to save you!

The game is super fun when you’re not struggling at every step. It’s still hard, but I feel like I’m on equal ground. Tomorrow may be a shorter update since there are only two more dungeons, and one is the final dungeon. We’ll see. This is a strange blog, though, so it may be worth the break from tradition.
