• got off the floating island
• rewound a falling block to get onto another floating island… and then had no way off. so i built a DOPE-ASS GLIDER with a FLAMETHROWER IN FRONT and somehow managed to launch it well enough to not die
• was killed by bokoblins; killed bokoblins
• befriended a dope-ass horse
• went south and a gerudo lady was like “maybe you want to go north”. i did not want to go north i wanted to go to the temple of time (hylian edition)
• made it to the temple of time and got a sidequest which sounded metal as fuck but not horse-friendly. retreated because it was a blood moon and i didn’t want to have to kill all the enemies in there again
• went to the dueling peaks stable and the BRIDGE WAS DOWN FUCK
• did a loooooong detour over a mountain and into the faron province. saw a giant whirlpool and what i assume is a gleeok on the great bridge in the distance
• FINALLY made it to Highland Stable and boarded my dope-ass horse who LOVES me now after we have suffered through so much together
• have not completed any shrines or spoken to any main quest characters since arrival on the surface. this is fine

• made it to my (and Zelda’s?? fucking tiny bed lmao) house
• did a bunch of things in hateno
• travelled up north to kakariko
• did a bunch of things there too
• there was a zonai hot air balloon contraption so i launched myself into the sky and then had to get very creative solving the shrine puzzle there
• SO MUCH “move the platform where you want it; move it back to you; use Rewind”
• finally tried doing a shrine on the surface and failed at it because it requires the paraglider which i STILL don’t have
• i do have lots of paraglider fabrics though
• rode my horse to dueling peaks stable FINALLY

• i heard impa was doing some cool stuff so i went and visited her
• impa: “it's true we are high up in my balloon, but you can just float down with a paraglider” me:
• thankfully there was a river nearby and i just lept from the balloon into it
• went into the forgotten temple
• time to find all the geoglyphs!!
• marked them on my map, which of course is not filled out because i can’t get in the towers
• Journey Into Hebra
• found two geoglyphs but not the one i was looking for?? explored a bunch of caves
• finally found it
• hmm these rito folk need help i should assist them
• MURDEROUS BOUNCY BOATS
• (barely) made it to the top of the storm!! but i used up all my balloons and have no other means to get inside
• that’s right kids i still do not have a paraglider
• i will try again while saving a balloon tomorrow, i BET i can make it
• this would be a lot easier if i had rockets lmao
