I've progressed quite a bit since I last posted.
The Silent Realm for Death Mountain nearly got me. The last tear I collected was on a hill with a bunch of those pools that wake the guardians if you touch them. I narrowly avoided touching the pools as I slid down the hill.
The escort mission right before the sixth dungeon was fucking miserable. It had no purpose other than "fuck you".
The sixth dungeon itself was okay. The boss, while a lazy rehash, was still pretty fun. I originally found it disappointing because I was expecting something new, rather than just
Ghirahim all over again.The
second Imprisoned fight wasn't as tough as I remembered. Still not very fun, though.
The cutscene with
Zelda explaining how she's Hylia reborn, and then creating the Master Sword, was actually really good. I used to think it was kind of thrown in, but it held some weight for me this time. I don't know why.
The Levias miniboss was pretty great.
The Death Mountain part of the
Song of the Hero quest was fucking annoying. I don't have an issue with a change of pace in a game, but only if it's fun. This straight up wasn't. Same with the Forest part. In the Forest, the
third Imprisoned fight was by far the hardest fight yet. I nearly died against it. I found a video after I beat it showing how to do it with zero damage. Probably should have done that method instead. Also, with the rest of the Forest part,
the Water Dragon admits that you've more than proved yourself as the hero, yet makes you do a long, arbitrary underwater fetch mission? That makes zero sense. Somehow, it wasn't as bad as the Death Mountain part, though.
The Desert part of the
Song of the Hero quest was the best of the three, but still nothing special. Right now, I'm at the part where you can play the
Thunder Dragon's minigame to get the Hylian Shield. I keep dying after like 3 rounds though, I'm pretty rusty with The Horde boss and Ghirahim 3. I might give it a few more attempts before I say "screw it" and just finish the game. I know there isn't much left to do.
