For all the dire online warnings about how hard the quest for the Flame of Din would be, and our own general distaste for All Things Eldin and Lava Related, we admit with only a hint of humble bragging that the Fire Sanctuary dungeon wasn’t that bad. The Sanctuary’s “trick” is a green plant withContinue reading “Drinking Demon Rum in the Fire Sanctuary”

Din’s Power and Eldin Volcano
After fighting the Abyssal Leviathan Tentalus, Link’s sword was upgraded with the Flames of Nayru and transformed into the Goddess White Sword.

Crying Tears for Nayru
We may have mentioned in a recent post that, allegedly, Faron’s Silent Realm is the easiest of the four in the game.
