Thankfully, rescuing the princess changed the weather!
EAT FOLIAGE DEATH!
Anyway, let’s head west.
Well, okay, then, it looks like left is the proper way to go to advance the story!
But eh, I’m feeling contrary.
Oh hey, it’s birds! Let’s go greet the pretty birdies! Greetings, my feather-brothers!
Ow.
Well, fine, then! I didn’t wanna be invited to your tree party ANYWAY! Even if it did look like fun…
Okay, lesson learned. Here, thar be monsters! Like that green, uh… dancing sock thing. Well, let’s kill it just to be safe.
Ow.
Okay, lesson learned. Socks are apparently impervious to man-made weaponry, having been charged with static cling from the dryer. Let’s try this again…
Oh look, issa bush bug!
Eh, it probably doesn’t need it all that badly.
Oh hey, in gratitude, it even spits out money!
…And then, suddenly, dead.
So, apparently, a species of bug evolved that naturally has a bush growing out of its back, which, when this bush is plucked from its back, bleeds money and then dies.
…‘Kay!
Eat my greens, sock!
That was the only bush I had. Darn it.
You win this round, dancing sock…
Um… I think that may be a bit difficult to acquire. It may be hard to give the irresistible cute stare to a king whose official status is “eliminated,” according to the intro.
Well, just imagine how it must feel for the tree!
Also, they seem awfully nonchalant about the giant bunny in their midst.
They also look high, so that might explain it.
Wow, the forest sounds dangerous.
That said, next stop is the forest!
Nnnnope. Not really seeing much of a threat from the fog. Except that the humidity may make my fur all soggy or something, I dunno.
Oh hey, issa sword!
I was tempted to post an image of Shigeru Miyamoto, with a trollface overlaid onto his, but nah, I’m too classy for that.
…Oh, hush, gum phoenixes are totally classy.
Though, come to think of it, I may have use for this sword yet…
BWAHAHA! Eat that, laundry!
Anyway, northward-bound for I!
Insert UHF reference explaining exactly why I am wary of this idea.
That, and I don’t even have 100 rupees.
That said, time to explore more of the forest!
Leaping down this hole cannot possibly be a bad idea.
Eat that, common sense!
Well, this guy seems a good enough sport about the random intrusion! Though, given we’re a “monster,” he may just be hoping we’ll take that lead and eat said deserter or something.
I’d say this entrance should be hidden better, but guards seem not to enter this forest at all, so…
Eh, rabbits don’t really eat mushrooms, from what I hear, but I’ll take it anyway. Even though the mushroom is also dancing. So, probably a good idea to not stab it, just in case.
Because who wouldn’t want something that smells rotten?
Oh hey, a bird that doesn’t want to tear my face off!
Oh, and a sword. Also probably worth noting.
Wow, that’s almost as unreadable as my handwriting. Almost.
But alas, I cannot pull the sword from the stone. Guess this means I can’t rule Britain, then.
Apparently, someone took the time to plant an anti-bunny landmine in the area.
And so, I emerge safely, proving that fog is no match for bunny power.
Ah, the fortune-teller.
He might have difficulty reading the palm of a bunny paw, though, so nah.
Anyway, onward we go!
…I think you may need to be a bit more specific.
Anyway, while we’re in town, let’s go ahead and rummage through peoples’ houses, because this is the 90’s and we haven’t invented penalties for theft in video games yet!
Then how do you know it’s me?
Not much of a secret plan, apparently. I guess this explains how Link’s uncle knew so readily who turned Link into a bunny.
Like an Easter Egg hunt, appropriately enough.
I wonder what the Master Sword dreams about.
Next house!
Not enough to put up some drapes, though, apparently.
I am an awesome bun.
I DIDN’T FULLY THINK THROUGH THIS IDEAAAAAaaaaaaaa…
Well, at least it turned out alright.
This can only end well.
Death via cave-in in 3… 2…
When I think on it, in the context of the game world, what is this thing? Like, when someone in the game world sees this and asks what its function is, what description do they receive? Are the people of Hyrule aware of life bars?
Am I overthinking this? I may be overthinking this.
Like, I could store a soldier in it or something?
…Whaaat? I’d put air holes in the lid!
Given that, from what I hear, vinegar is used to prevent rabbits from chewing on stuff sometimes, I think you should try a different selling point.
Wow. 100? Really? I mean, as a note, a common bottle in this world is barely cheaper than a dose of magical potion strong enough to heal all wounds, and a blue rupee was enough to warrant a chest all to itself two times now.
Well, he’s the only seller, so…
He knows a good company mascot when he sees one!
Magic how? I don’t think I have seen any use for it that requires it to be magical instead of normal, unless the magic is how one explains how the bottle can hold fairies. I guess that would explain the price tag, at least.
Why isn’t he trying to sell me the pottery, though?
Um… I think someone may have goofed a bit, on the rom hacking. I don’t even REMEMBER the arrow graphics being a thing that exist anywhere in the game. That, or something went wrong with the patching process or something.
Even friendlier than grass-stained dancing laundry?
Oh dear. This wall is really cracked. Someone should really correct that.
There! No more cracked wall!
Come baaack, I’m too cute to be afraid of!
Oh well. Let’s go into that upper-right house!
Don’t sleep in, you’ll miss the bunny!
Evil causes the common cold, apparently.
Proof that being adorable can get people to trust you with their stuff!
Not goo, though. I’d need a bigger net for that.
Next, let’s enter the building below, back door first.
Someone apparently stuffed a chicken under this pot. Somehow.
Well, at least it’s not springing some “Roof Repair Charge” thing on me.
Larceny is fun!
Anyway, let’s head in through the front next. Even though I am underage (I think) and should not be let in, because this is clearly a bar.
Does she give free belly rubs?
Also, I am surprised. He is clearly drinking wine in an SNES game.
Okay, I know one person in here has the excuse of probably being drunk and the other is barely awake, but given that only three people in the entire village seem alarmed by Link’s presence and only two actually contact the guards (telepathically, apparently, given how instantly they show up), I do not think Aghanim’s plan is working very well.
Anyway, let’s continue exploring the village!
I think whoever lives here may have some yardwork that needs doing.
I can see why it would be overgrown, considering this guy is apparently so lazy that he has six beds.
Yes, I can understand why someone might have difficulty visiting if they happened to have left their machete at home.
This building can only be entered via explosions. Is this Princess Pitch’s house?
…Perhaps not. These pots are still intact.
Well, they were, at least.
Though I found four bombs in the pots, so maybe my theory holds water after all.
Dancing laundry is one thing, but a child sitting in one spot being quiet and well-behaved for this long is just plain absurd.
It’s always lovely to have recognition of my talents.
You must be quite the attention-seeker if your hiding spot is in a palace.
“Curses! This impenetrable bush hath halted my progress!”
Don’t worry; there are plenty of fish in the sea.
Anyway, let us head to the southern part of the village.
I’m beginning to think they were getting lazy when time came to make this part of the village.
Must the village’s collection of knowledge be so out-of-the-way?
Sure, there’s probably no printing press in this setting, but this is the only library in the entire kingdom, apparently, so you’d still think there’d be more books in here.
Whoever chose to live way out here must wish to be left alone. Let’s barge right in uninvited, shall we?
That’s an odd name for him. Is he a bunny, too?
I shall not stand for a fellow bunny being sealed away like that!
But that’s not a bunny…
Rabbit, actually. Yes, there are differences between the two. For example, I am genetically superior when it comes to racing tortoises.
*scoffs* I am my own rabbit, good sir!
How did you get here, lass?
“For no apparent reason and free of charge!”
I played this game so much as a child, I still remember the route decently well. Not that it’s difficult, mind, but still.
Considering that it increases the health of the user and is exceedingly rare, that is incredibly generous, I must say. A nice reward for exploration, mind, but still.
Anyway, now to head east.
Nope.
Alright, time to head off to the palace! Though, first…
