Let’s Tarry in Tarrey Town
As noted in a previous post, we love being a homeowner in Hateno. A place to cook where the fires never go out! A bed to sleep in free of charge!

Here we discuss the necessary preparations to board the flying beast, which resembles a mechanical eagle (or perhaps a chicken) circling the skies over northwestern Hyrule. As with the other divine beasts, this journeyContinue reading “Vah Medoh Pre-Flight Planning”
