Greens alone are not nearly hearty enough for a vegetable curry. Although now that I think about it there aren't any potatoes in Hyrule, what the gently caress?!

The Hylian conquistadors haven't discovered fantasy Peru yet, I guess. Someone update the timeline.

I never used the sword, but presumably you could use it for good respawning base weapons? I also never used the pot, but you could use it for rare ingredients like truffles? And I also never used the chest, but I guess that would work for respawning chests? Or maybe I should have marked caves with chests instead of stars...

Person = stables where I've already helped Penn and found the wells (and wells outside of stables), and also occasionally to mark quest people I needed to return to

Diamond inside diamond = I used this to mark unpaired shrines/lightroots

Heart = catchable fairies

Star = star islands in the sky, and rare critters on the ground (stealth trout and smotherwing butterflies, for example), so I knew which areas to revisit to find more later. I'd also switch pins to stars when marking caves after using cherry trees.

Skull = bosses and minibosses (in early game to avoid, in late game to hunt)

Leaf = travelling koroks that I am not doing right now

Ore = gold ore deposits, plus big walls of zonaite in the depths and clumps of luminous stones in the sky

I can't use them except for categorical uses like this because my brain is a sieve and I absolutely will not remember anything otherwise. I still occasionally do mark purges when I realise I've been using a mark too 'broadly' and no longer recognise what most of them are actually marking on the map.

Huh, it never occurred to me to look at the embers, I just watched which way the fog was blowing.

I looked up at the clouds, and if I remember right there was a musical/audio cue that told you when you needed to change direction so I got through by racing forward, abruptly staring at the sky to see which way the clouds had started moving, then abruptly changing direction and racing off again.

I thought it was a very nice evolution from OoT, which had the mist and the musical cues to lead you through.
