Some while ago, after downloading the BOTW expansion pack, we set about to obtain the Master Cycle Zero, which, we submit, sounds a lot like a piece of exercise equipment that we avoid in real life. But Itzal hankered for this motorcycle. And since he had been understanding (if impatient) of Demelza’s desire to have a completeContinue reading “Zelda and the Art of Motorcycle Attainment”

Urbosa’s Song: Thunderblight Battle
The long slog of the Champions’ Ballad – are we getting a motorcycle at some point in this game??!!! – continues after the three Gerudo shrines are solved. Once again, there is a battle in the Illusory Realm: a battle for which Link is poorly dressed and ill prepared, his weapons and foodstuffs having mostlyContinue reading “Urbosa’s Song: Thunderblight Battle”
Sing Along with Urbosa: The Shrine Edition
We unashamedly admit that, in undertaking the Champions’ Ballad, we left Urbosa’s Song for last due to our utter distaste for the Yiga Clan Hideout, which, Demelza had read (on the Internet, cough cough), would therein make its return. We loathed the Yiga Clan Hideout in our main game playthrough; we did not expect anyContinue reading “Sing Along with Urbosa: The Shrine Edition”
Mipha’s Song, Part 2: Waterblight Ganon in the Illusory Realm

Mipha’s Song, Part 1: Activating and Solving Shrines
After the fire and heat of Daruk’s Song in Eldin, it was time for Mipha’s Song and a cooldown in watery Lanayru. Lanayru was home to our first Divine Beast when we played the main game, oh so long ago, and we were curious about how it would feel to return for the Champions’ BalladContinue reading “Mipha’s Song, Part 1: Activating and Solving Shrines”
Daruk’s Song, Part 3: Fireblight Ganon in the Illusory Realm
When last we left our heroine Demelza, she had gathered all three Vah Rudania emblems and, channeling Bilbo in front of Smaug’s lair on the Mountain, was sitting on the doorstep of the fiery Divine Beast.[1] Like Bilbo, she was waiting to think of something. Also like the hobbit, she was wondering about the prospects for secondContinue reading “Daruk’s Song, Part 3: Fireblight Ganon in the Illusory Realm”
