We had a little discussion about whether to write this post, given that there’s plenty of information available on the Internet about the various horses one encounters in BOTW. We generally don’t try to gild someone else’s lily, especially when what we call gild might be likened more to rust by the original maker of theContinue reading “Horses of Hyrule”

En Garde, Guardians!
A prime point of contention in the Demelza/Itzal Alliance to Defeat the BOTW Bad Guys is the Guardian, that evil-incarnate remnant of a happier day in Hyrule. Demelza’s always wanting to go Guardian hunting, like it’s a family fete on Easter Sunday. Itzal’s always giving her idea the big Thumbs Down. It’s a Thing weContinue reading “En Garde, Guardians!”
Barbarians at the Gate
As discussed in an earlier post, armor in BOTW plays an important role in Link’s success and in some cases, his survival.

And before you ask, no, it doesn’t auto-parry, like the Ancient Shield. Nonetheless, we love the Hylian Shield, and we think you will, too. You just might not loveContinue reading “Hyrule Castle and the Hylian Shield”
Of Dragons and Springs
In an earlier post, we shared our love (mostly Itzal’s love) for dragons (mostly Farosh and Dinraal) when describing the quest for the Spring of Wisdom. Here we take a turn back to dragon farming and highlight the Spring of Courage and the Spring of Power. (The Spring of Sarcasm and the Spring of CripplingContinue reading “Of Dragons and Springs”
