You mentioned both paragliding and climbing in these eps, and I gotta tell you, once you get used to it you will wonder how the gently caress you ever went anywhere in a Zelda game without them. (Well, a Zelda game not containing the Pegasus Boots.) I hit this weird state of simultaneously wholly internalizing it and not realizing I'd internalized it pretty fast. I found myself spending a good 20 minutes clambering up the side of a canyon and paragliding from outcropping to outcropping, and then realizing just how unprecedented that freedom of movement really is. (Judging by the examples of, e.g. Skyrim or Ocarina, I mean.)
I wonder which is worse: coming to this game and forgetting there's no autojump, or going from this game (or Wind Waker) to one of the others and forgetting you can't glide.

Yeah, something about his unnecessarily chipper attitude has me worried that I might not be the first one to "help"...
Wasn't there a Traveler's something-or-other near the start? I guess it had to come from somewhere...

 It's an interesting change having the Hyrule Field equivalent be one of the most dangerous places in the game.

Yeah, there's some issues with those who choose not to automatically embed Youtube videos on the forum.
...huh. I had no idea there was an option for that.

So, uh, thanks for mentioning that.

I was wondering if that'd work, but then I remembered that one door in Vah Rudania. Seems like you could skip about half the lanterns with a good enough shot.

Did they explore half the map at this point or are there just one more rear end Creed tower to climb?
About three or four towers left, I think, based on the chunks of unrevealed map.

 ...I just did Ridgeland Tower yesterday and I never noticed that guy up there. Probably because it was raining and the middle of the night, but still.

Part 123: "Fresh from the Trash"
I like to think that Link's expression after that memory was him mentally kicking himself for leaving all those Lynel weapons just lying there.

 I'm still a Camelzord short of being able to do this stuff, but that last section of Stop to Start looks like the toughest part of the whole thing to me.
