TRIAL OF THE GODS

 

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD - https://youtu.be/OJMsULUhvA8

 

Luc's getting launched at a lot of walls during this adventure.

 

Normally, I keep the names of characters to their defaults. I think it just fits better. It might make for slightly less interesting Pokémon playthroughs, but especially for Final Fantasy and Zelda, keeping it on the default usually works better for me than inserting names. Especially in this instance where I used my own. (Well, my username. If you follow my writing, you know my real name's not Luc.) However, I did rename him this time for lore reasons. More on those reasons when we do NGP.

 

I really like how the statue gets ready to explode - and Luc notices and flees - but it only actually explodes when he's there to be launched. Convenient that we end up where we want to be. It's worth noting that the Triforce shown here isn't the only one: I tried to point it out earlier when we were in Zelda's room. The islands where we were supposed to get the pearls (that is, using Dragon Roost, Forest Haven and Greatfish) form an outer triangle, and the midpoints of those lines are where the Triangle Islands sit. So the Tower of the Gods sits at the center of that larger Triforce symbol as well. And then Luc hits the stone wall face-first for the second time on this adventure, but thankfully this time doesn't drop his sword because the only place it could fall would be the water.

 

I forgot that the Queen of Fairies won't see you prior to Forsaken Fortress 2. When I thought about it on-stream, though, I did realize that it would let you do things very much out of order (those Triangle fragments I'm picking up do diddly squat until you have all eight, so it's not a concern for the developers) and the devs wouldn't want that. Also, yes, it's a required item. So yes, Cyclos is required. It's not often that fast travel is required to obtain in a game, but I have been doing a bunch of required things at least a little earlier than necessary.

 

Finally, when I say 100% in the stream/video series, I mean that I'm getting all hearts, all  inventory items and all figurines, and filling out the whole map and getting all treasures from treasure charts. I am not doing all side quests, or more specifically, anything that only rewards you with rupees. There are plenty of rupees without bothering to do those.
