Phew, this one took a while! But it's done!
Enjoy! ;)
Chapter 8: The Tower of the Gods
"Ganondorf's curse has been broken by the power of the pearl and star piece that Jabun gave us, so morning should come soon." the King of Red Lions spoke to the heroes. "It is well that we have gathered all of the pearls."
"What about the star pieces?" Link asked.
"There are still more star pieces remaining, but let's not worry about them right now."
"If you say so…"
"So, what do we do now?" Peach asked.
"I have marked the places where you must set the pearls on your Sea Chart. Once you have placed each of the pearls in its proper location, the proving grounds for your courage and willingness will become apparent. Clearly, the search for Jabun has shown that Ganondorf has begun to make efforts to block our path forward. It is certain that the perils ahead will be greater than any of you have faced thus far."
"Oh, I'm sure we can handle these perils just fine, right?" Luka smirked to the group.
"Yeah!" the rest exclaimed.
"Then let's go and set those pearls!"
By zipping around the seas thanks to the Swift Sail's fast travel, the heroes placed the first two pearls on the statues at Northern Triangle Island, where Din's Pearl was placed, and Southern Triangle Island, where Nayru's Pearl was placed. For the last one, Farore's Pearl, they went to Eastern Triangle Island.
Once Link placed the last pearl on the statue, whose eyes region was constantly flashing green, while the others waited for him on the boat, nothing seemed to be happening at first.
As Link kept staring at the statue, beams of light suddenly sprouted from it as Link yelped in surprise and jumped down… only for the lights to die down. Bewildered, Link looked back at the statue and climbed back up to it.
"Oh, here comes my favorite part~!" Luka exclaimed quietly with anticipation, as she knew exactly what was going to happen next. The Mario cast heard her and looked at her with confused looks.
"What favorite part?" Toad whispered.
"Just so you wait." Luka directed back to Link, who had approached the statue again and leaned closer to it. "Three… Two… ONE…!"
*KABOOOOOOOOOM!*
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" the statue suddenly blows up, and poor Link was caught by the blast as he was sent flying away while screaming. The Mario cast looked up at him in shock… while Luka was bursting out laughing:
"Pfffffft… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" she spluttered. "MAN, how I love this part!"
"…I'll never understand that girl's sense of humor…" the King of Red Lions thought.
From the statue's explosion, a green ethereal figure meant to represent Farore held up her pearl before a beam of green light shot out of it, traveling all the way to Southern Triangle Island as it struck the statue on it. A blue ethereal figure of Nayru showed up and did the same thing as Farore did, and her blue beam of light zoomed towards Northern Triangle Island, blowing up the statue to reveal a red ethereal figure of Din. Finally, Din's red beam of light went all the way back to Eastern Triangle Island, and all three beams were connected.
The connection of the beams together created the shape of the iconic Triforce before it spun to create another heavenly light in its place at the very middle of where the Triangle Islands were. From this light, a towering structure began to rise up, as the Mario cast watched in awe due to how tall it was.
"Woooow…" Peach whispered.
"Wooowie zoowie…" Luigi's eyes widened. "Are we going to climb all that…?"
"Yep." Luka nodded.
"Where is Link, by the way?" Toad wondered.
"Hey! I see him! Over there!" Yoshi pointed to where Link was, as the young hero was surprisingly still flying. "He's heading straight… to the tower…?" he blinked once he took notice of where Link was heading to.
"Oh, not that again…" Mario trailed, remembering back about Link faceplanting on the wall at the Forsaken Fortress.
*SPLAT!*
For the second time, Link faceplants straight into a wall, this time on the still-rising tower, before falling all the way down to the water. Once the tower finally stopped rising, the King of Red Lions and the others made their way to where Link landed, and he climbed on, before looking up at the massive tower, known as the Tower of the Gods, in front of him.
"It's so tall…" he breathed.
"Everyone, your trial awaits." the King of Red Lions said. "This tower, which the pearls of the gods have caused to appear, is a place that the gods of the ancient world prepared so that they might test the courage of men and the willingness of the destined. Only those who are able to overcome the trials that await here will be acknowledged by the gods to be a true hero and true destined people. Only then will that hero be permitted to wield the power to destroy the great evil."
"So that means I'll finally be able to defeat that Ganondorf and save my sister?" Link thought.
"Link, that which you must obtain now lies before you! And the rest of you, your willingness to protect and lend your power to the hero is about to be put into test! You all must believe in your courage and willingness, which has led you to triumph over the many hardships you have faced…and you must triumph once again! You must rise above the trial of the gods!"
Link and the others nodded, ready to face the trials up ahead as they guided the boat to the interior of the tower.
The Tower of the Gods is a sacred tall structure that the gods built in order to test the courage of men, where only one can be considered a true hero like the ancient Hero of Time. Most of the interior was flooded with water as it was coming out of a statue that stood in front of the heroes, the level going up and down periodically. The walls and columns were made out of stone with some golden details on them.
"Hmm… it looks like we must find a way to get rid of that water pouring out of that." Mario stated, pointing at the statue. "I just know there's something from behind that."
"Right." Link nodded. "I'm seeing a few platforms over there, so we'll start there first." he steered the boat to the rightmost corner of the room, while having to deal with the water level constantly rising and lowering. "Sheesh, what's wrong with the water level?" he questioned.
"We have no idea." Toad shrugged. "Hey look, there's two available platforms on both sides." he noted.
"Sooo… We're splitting up?" Luigi guessed.
"Yup." Luka nodded. "Even though there's seven of us, I suggest having lesser people going to the room on the bottom right corner."
"Then that means three of us will go there, while the remaining four will head to that one." Mario said before they all started deciding the groups. In the end, Link, Peach and Yoshi opted to go to the bottom right room, whereas Mario, Luigi, Toad and Luka went to the upper right room.
First starting with the group of three, the door led them to a room with three boxes, there was a chest on the other side… and some Yellow Chuchus. Before the group could wonder what to do with those boxes, the water level rose up again, and they noticed that the boxes rose up as well, floating into the water's surface.
"Oh, I see it now! We can move those boxes in order to create a bridge to the other side!" Yoshi pointed out.
"Hey, that could work!" Link replied. "But we have to wait for the water level to go down again."
When the water went down again, the group proceeded to push and pull each of the boxes in a position where a bridge would form. However, Link was unaware of one of the Yellow Chuchus heading towards him as Peach noticed that.
"Link, look out!" she called out, but too late; the Yellow Chuchu leaps onto Link, electrocuting him in the process.
"YOOOOOOW!" he yelled before getting thrown back.
"Ooh, that looked painful…" Yoshi winced, and then he tossed an egg at the Yellow Chuchu to defeat it.
"Uh oh, I can see more of them!" Peach pointed to the two remaining Yellow Chuchus in the room.
"I got them!" Yoshi tossed more eggs at the Yellow Chuchus, and soon the room was cleared out of Chuchus.
"Thank goodness…" Peach sighed and then she went over to Link. "Are you okay?"
"Never… better…" Link groaned before shaking it off.
With that, the trio focused back on moving the boxes until they were perfectly aligned with each other. The trio climbed on the first box as soon as the water rose back up and hopped to the other boxes to reach the other side that had a treasure chest. They opened it, taking out the Dungeon Map.
"…Not exactly what I had in mind, but at least it will help us navigate around the dungeon." Link remarked… and then they heard plopping noises as even more Yellow Chuchus suddenly dropped down from the ceiling. "Oh great, more of these guys…" he grumbled in annoyance.
With the other group…
"Whoa…" Luigi awed as they just placed a box on a glowing switch to make a rainbow-colored bridge of light appear from above the gap they were in.
"This is basically the main concept of the dungeon, light bridges." Luka informed. "They may be made out of pure light, but they're actually solid, so we can walk through them."
"Well, that's good to know." Toad said as they climbed back up and crossed the bridge to the other side, where there was some sort of statue at the end.
"I believe this statue is important." Mario inspected. "It doesn't appear to be attached to the floor, so that means we can carry it around." with that said, he picks up the statue and holds it above his head.
But when they turned around in order to cross the bridge again, the water level rose back up, causing the boxes to float up and the bridge to disappear.
"Oh, come on…" Toad muttered.
"Yeah, even I found this water level rising and lowering to be a little annoying…" Luka admitted. "Still less annoying than the entire Water Temple, though." she thought as they waited for the water to go back down, and once it did, they crossed the reappeared bridge and went back to the main room of the dungeon.
There, Luka directed the others to the portion where there was a hole on the ground, so Mario went over and placed the statue into it. The statue emitted a blue light, and eventually, a gate on the further right portion of the room lowered down, granting access to the other side.
"That takes care of it." Luka said. "Now let's go meet with the other group."
They hopped on the boat and went to the bottommost room, where they met with Link, Yoshi and Peach… but they were covered in soot and Link and Peach had a few strands of their hair sticking up.
"Uhh… What happened to you?" Toad blinked.
"Yellow… Chuchus…" Link groaned, before also coughing out smoke.
"Oh… It's the electric variant of the Chuchu family." Luka explained.
"Yikes…" Luigi trailed. "So, what did you find in that room?"
"The map." Yoshi showed it to them.
"Well, now we know the full layout of this temple." Mario spoke up.
Soon, the group cruised to the newly opened area, where they stopped at a platform and placed two Armos statues on the glowing switches in order to open the door.
The next room had many boxes scattered around, and on the other side were two torches. Link looked to the side and saw some Deku Sticks in a pot, so he thought of using one of the sticks to light the torches on the other side by using the fire from the lit torches on his side.
But as soon as he lit the Deku Stick, he saw that Mario had already made it to the other side and just lit the torches by throwing a fireball at them, causing a treasure chest to appear that held a Small Key. Link was left with his mouth agape.
"There was no need to do that! You have friends with powers!" Luka said to him with a teasing wink as they waited for Mario to get back before exiting the room.
"They can make all things in the dungeons so easy…" Link thought before snapping out of his shocked trance and quickly followed the others.
Back to the main room, they sailed all the way to the left, where cracked walls stood at the end. Loading the boat's cannon, Link blasted the walls with bombs, revealing more of the area to them. They got out of the boat and swam to the stairs, and then another Yellow Chuchu showed up to greet them.
"Not a chance." Link sternly said, having had enough of Yellow Chuchus as he tossed his Boomerang at it before slashing through it. At this point, the water level dropped down, revealing a locked door down the stairs, but there was still a door on the level our heroes were on.
"So… which door we should go first?" Yoshi asked.
"Let's go for this one first." Luka directed to the door right in front of them. "There's an important item for us to get there."
The others nodded and went through said door, which only had a treasure chest and a Red Bubble. They took care of the Red Bubble first before going for the chest, pulling out a Compass. After that, they left the room and immediately went down the stairs, dealing with another Yellow Chuchu before unlocking the door.
Even more Yellow Chuchus showed up as soon as the heroes went into the next room. Groaning in annoyance, they quickly dispatched all of them, and that caused a stairway made of light to appear, leading to the statue above. They went up these stairs and Link picked up the statue before they all left the room.
By placing the statue into another hole that was next to the door from above, it emitted a purple light as the mouth of the statue that was pouring water eventually closes, revealing a passageway underneath it.
"Mario was right; there was something behind that statue being obscured by the water!" Peach exclaimed.
"I had a sneaking suspicion about that." Mario replied sheepishly and then they made their way to the new passageway and went through the door.
There was a Beamos statue at the center of the new room and three glowing switches behind it. Since they were already in large numbers, the heroes just made their way around the Beamos, avoiding its laser and then three of them stepped on the switches to activate the moving platforms from behind.
Going through another door, they found themselves in a circular room, where several frowning statues with horns sticking out of their heads circled an altar at the center. At that altar, there was a stone monument that caught everyone's attention, so they went up to it and checked it.
"These markings…" Link mused. "Could this be… a new melody for the Wind Waker?"
"You guessed it right!" Luka nodded. "Go ahead and take out the Wind Waker and conduct left, center, right, and center again!"
Link did just that, pulling out the Wind Waker and conducting it in the directions shown at the monument. Upon learning the new song, the Command Melody, all of the three blocked doors in the room opened up.
"Congratulations! You just learned the Command Melody!" Luka exclaimed. "With this, you're able to control all sorts of objects not unlike how Mario will one day do the same with a possessed hat!"
"Uh, what?" Mario raised an eyebrow as everyone looked back at Luka with weird looks.
"…Forget what I said at the last sentence!" Luka dismissed nervously while erratically waving her hands in front of her. The others then shrugged it off before Link spoke:
"Three available doors… I believe we should split up again, but I'm not sure what we have to do…"
"I can inform you on that." Luka interfered. "We need to bring three statues, each of them lying somewhere at the other side of these doors. Once all of the statues are brought back to this room, the path to this dungeon's boss will open."
"Got it. Now let's see…" Link pondered, thinking about who's going to which door. After some seconds of thinking, he eventually decided, "Okay, so Luigi, Toad and I will go to the door on the left, Peach and Luka will head to the door on the middle, and Mario and Yoshi will take the door on the right."
With the new groups decided, they all split up and went into their respective doors.
With Mario and Yoshi…
They took care of even more Yellow Chuchus in the room, both before and after crossing to the other side with the help of a moving platform, and then they went into another room, where they saw a large light platform hovering over a very narrow and twisted pathway.
The duo used the platform to get to the other side, which had a pillar with a statue at the very top of it. The pillar was way too high up for the two to reach up to the statue. That is, until Mario noticed a tablet standing beside the pillar as he went over to read it.
"Seeker of the goddesses' guidepost… Call me and guide me to my place of truth." he read. "…Call who?"
"Hmm… Maybe the statue?" Yoshi guessed with a shrug.
"I guess so… But how do we call it?"
"Uhh, I dunno… Come on! …Or something?"
Just then, as soon as the words of 'Come on!' left Yoshi's mouth, the pillar and the statue began to glow as the former began to descent, much to the duo's surprise.
"Oh… It actually worked!" Yoshi exclaimed.
"Odd…" Mario mused… and then they nearly jumped when the statue suddenly began to move on its own towards them. "Whoa!"
"Hey, that's so cool!" Yoshi chimed. "Luka said that we need to bring it back to the circular room, right?"
"Yes, but we have to careful in guiding it back, especially with this narrow path."
With that, they began to slowly guide the statue around the path, making their way back to the circular room to hopefully meet back with the others.
With Link, Luigi and Toad…
"There it is!" Toad pointed to the statue they found up ahead. They made their way to it by Link swinging above a ravine with the Grappling Hook while Toad conjured up a mushroom for him and Luigi to launch themselves off to the other side.
As soon as they approached the pillar, Link called out to the statue to make the pillar it was standing on descent. However, the trio realized that there was no way they could cross the large ravine by just throwing the statue across.
"Um, how are we going to get the statue to the other side?" Link wondered.
"Hold on, there's a switch right here." Luigi said and went over to step on it, causing a light bridge to appear. "Oh!"
"There's a problem, though." Toad interfered. "My mushroom conjuring magic has very limited range, so once I and Link cross to the other side with the statue, you'll be left stuck in this side, Luigi."
"Well, that's just great…" Luigi muttered.
Link then remembered about Luka explaining what the Command Melody does, and, looking back at the statue, he thought, "Unless…" knowing exactly what to do, he told Luigi, "Luigi, keep standing on the switch. I know just what to do."
"Really?" Luigi and Toad replied in unison, and then watched Link taking out the Wind Waker and conducting the Command Melody.
Through Link's point of view, he suddenly felt weird as his mind literally shifted to the statue, and he now was the statue itself!
"Whoa… weird…" he thought as he used what strength the statue's body had to cross the light bridge as Luigi and Toad watched all that with eyes open wide. As soon as the statue was at the other side, Link somehow managed to shift his mind back to his own body again.
"Link, what did you just do?" Toad asked. "How did you get the statue to the other side?"
"I used the Command Melody to take control of it and then I made it walk to the other side." Link answered.
"Wait, you actually possessed the statue?! Golly, that's a bit… freaky." Luigi commented.
"Yeah, I know." Link replied while rubbing the back of his head before they made it back to the other side using the same methods as before.
Before heading back to the circular room, however, the trio got curious about the locked door on another side of the room, so they placed the statue on the nearby glowing switch to unlock the bars blocking the door and then they went in.
They found themselves in a circular arena-like room, where a massive armored figure holding up a sword facing them on the broad side stood in the center. Seeing that there were intruders in the room, the figure, being none other than a Darknut, suddenly started to move, his eyes angrily focused on the trio as he roared at them and swung his sword in front of him a few times before taking a battle stance.
"Uh oh…" Luigi gulped.
"Looks like we got ourselves a battle." Link spoke with a serious expression, drawing out his sword and shield. "We're locked in, so we have no other choice!"
"You said it right!" Toad exclaimed.
Link began by immediately rushing towards the Darknut and jumping in the air. "HIYAAH!" he yelled as he swung his sword down, but the Darknut clashed his sword with the hero before they both fought for control.
Link was trying to at least equal the Darknut in strength, but he was too strong for a kid like him, so he jumped back and spun his sword in a circle, hitting the Darknut's sword. It wasn't enough to knock the sword out of the Darknut's hand as he merely just shrugged it off and swung it back at Link, knocking the poor kid away.
"Link!" Luigi cried. "Toad, we've got to do something!"
"Hmm…" Toad pondered as Link sprung back up and clashed with the Darknut again. "His armor is definitely made out of metal, and metal conducts electricity… That's it!" he turned to Luigi, "Luigi, use your thunder powers to stun that beast!"
"Oh, of course!" Luigi replied and used his Thunderhand powers as a lightning bold struck the Darknut, paralyzing him in place as Link looked at it in surprise.
"Now, let's see…" Toad then rushes to the stunned Darknut's back, and saw that his armor was strapped to his back by ropes. "Aha!" Toad exclaimed, taking out an axe and using it to chop off the ropes, removing the armor covering the Darknut's torso. "He's vulnerable now, Link! Strike him!"
The hero did just that, landing his first clean hit on the Darknut as he snapped out of his paralyzed state. The Darknut, now mad, tried to swing his sword at Link, only for him to jump up and knock off the Darknut's helmet, revealing a dog-shaped head underneath it.
With the Darknut completely exposed and vulnerable to almost all attacks, Link took this advantage to land a few more blows on him until he finally collapsed to the ground while roaring in agony before exploding for good.
"Phew… that takes care of it." Link sighed. "Thanks for your help, guys."
"No problem!" Luigi replied.
Then, a treasure chest appeared in the middle. Link went over to it and opened it up, taking out the Hero's Bow with a few Arrows.
"Oh, neat!" he exclaimed.
"The bow and arrows, huh?" Toad smirked. "These will definitely help us out!"
"You bet they will!" Luigi nodded. "Now let's get back to that circular room with the statue."
Later…
At the circular room, Mario and Yoshi were the first ones to come in, and they watched the statue they brought along make its way to its respective pedestal.
"That's one statue down." Mario said. "We'll just have to wait for the others now."
"Hopefully they're doing alright." Yoshi hoped.
Soon, the trio of Link, Luigi and Toad were next to come back, and their statue moved towards its pedestal before they saw Mario and Yoshi on the other side.
"Big bro! Yoshi!" Luigi called out as he and the rest rushed over to the duo.
"Guys! You're back!" Yoshi chirped. "How did it go for you?"
"Nothing much, we just saw Link using the new melody he just learned and we all fought a big armored guy." Toad summed it up.
"I also got these!" Link showed the bow and arrows.
"Neat! You got yourself a bow and arrow!" Mario exclaimed. "He feels more like the Hero of Time now!" he thought.
"And now we just have to wait for Peach and Luka." Link said.
They waited for a few minutes, but the girls still didn't show up.
"Sheesh, what's taking them so long?" Toad asked.
"Should we go check on them?" Luigi suggested.
"Maybe we should." Mario agreed.
But the moment they were about to head to where the girls went, the door suddenly opened up and Peach and Luka came out as their statue began to move to its pedestal.
"Hi, boys!" Peach waved. "Sorry we took so long… There were tons of puzzles, enemies, and all sorts of shenanigans on the door we went into."
"But hey, at least we did it!" Luka winked before she and Peach high-fived.
With that, all three statues were back at their respective places as they all shot a beam of green light from their chests, creating a column of light in the altar. Looking at each other in determination, the heroes stepped into the light, letting it carry them to the third floor of the dungeon.
Once there, they found a wall of lasers blocking a chest from behind and there were three glowing switches in front, so three of the heroes went to step on them. This deactivated the lasers and then Link went over to the chest to grab the Big Key. Now they were ready to face the boss of this dungeon.
They went through the door that took them outside. A staircase was on their left, so they wasted no time in heading up… except that the entire stairway was being guarded by LOTS of Beamos. In a panic, the heroes made a mad dash all the way up to the Boss Door, barely avoiding the lasers from the robots or getting their clothes slightly burned. After they rested for a bit to regain their lost breath during the rush, they inserted the Big Key at the door's lock. The door opened up and they all went inside.
The Boss Room had an air of holiness in it, as there was a faint blue light lightening it entirely. Link and the others gazed around before shifting their focus on the large carvings pressed against the wall up ahead, and once they reached the center portion of the room, a strange disembodied voice spoke up:
You have done well to find your way to this place. Oh, chosen ones… Accept this final challenge…
Just then, blue light illuminated the carvings from the hands and the head, with the addition of glowing green eyes on the hands and red eyes for the head, and all three of them detached themselves out from the wall to float above the heroic group as the boss Gohdan.
"Okay, so what should we do, Luka?" Link asked.
"You need to shoot an arrow at the eyes on its hands first!" Luka instructed, but then she saw the two hands going down on either side of the arena and closing in together as she gasped in alarm. "MOVE!" she yelled, and everyone quickly moved out of the way before they were squished by the hands.
"That was close…" Luigi trailed.
"Alright, time to shoot those hands!" Link took aim with the bow and shot the first arrow at the right hand's eye. "Got one!"
It was then that the right hand closed itself into a fist and attempted to slam down at Link as he was trying to focus of the left hand.
"AHH!" thankfully, Link noticed that in time and quickly ran out of the way. "Phew…" But when he went to focus back at the left hand, it responded by going down to Link's level and attempt to sweep him off the arena. "Whoooooaaa!" he yelled and rolled away to avoid being swept off in time. "Urgh… Hold still!"
With Luka and the Mario cast, they watched worriedly as Link was having trouble aiming for the left hand as it just wouldn't stop moving. Then, Toad had an idea:
"Hey, Luigi! Why don't you stun it?"
"Oh! Okey-dokey!" Luigi nodded and casted lightning at the left hand, stunning it in place. This gave a great opportunity for Link to aim at Gohdan's left hand after the attack and successfully strike its eye.
With that, both of Gohdan's hands exploded and only the head remained as its red eyes revealed themselves.
"Now all we have to do is to aim at its red eyes!" Luka hollered.
"That's all?" Mario questioned. "Too easy."
Immediately after this, Gohdan's mouth opened up before firing explosive projectiles at them as they yelped in shock and tried their best to avoid them. Unfortunately, Link was caught by one of the projectiles' explosions and that caused him to fall down to the electrified border below the arena.
"YOWOWOWOWOW!" he yelled as he was being electrocuted.
"OH NO! LINK!" Peach cried as Link quickly climbed out from the border, but he felt stings from all over his body. "Here, let me heal you!" she rushed over to him and started to tend to his injuries with her healing spell.
Meanwhile, the rest of the group saw that Gohdan still had its mouth open, and much to their horror, it began to charge up a stronger version of its explosive projectiles.
"Quick! Someone throw some sort of bomb into its mouth!" Luka demanded.
"I'll do it!" Yoshi volunteered, throwing an egg bomb into Gohdan's mouth. The bomb exploded on the inside, causing Gohdan to fall down to the ground, exposing both of its eyes.
"Leave those eyes to me!" Mario exclaimed, conjuring up a fireball from both his palms.
With that said, Mario tosses both fireballs at Gohdan's eyes… and once they struck their target, beams of light shone out from the head as the same disembodied voice from before spoke again:
The path can now be opened. Oh, chosen ones… What will now come to pass is tied to your fate – to the path that you have chosen. Go forward with caution.
The beams somehow disappeared, and while Gohdan's head and hands were heading back to their resting spots, a column of light shone out from the hole in the ceiling. Everyone regrouped near the column of light.
"Good… Good work, you guys…" Link panted, having all of his injuries healed thanks to Peach. "Seriously, I couldn't have done this without your help…"
"That's what friends are for!" Yoshi chimed.
"*chuckle* yeah…" then, remembering what Gohdan spoke to them, he wondered, "Say, what did that thing meant by 'the path that we have chosen'?"
"We have no idea either." Toad shook his head while shrugging.
"Well, then let's proceed forward as it just said." Mario said. "Maybe we'll know more if we do that."
Everyone else had to agree on that and then they all stepped into the light, ready to see what their path of chosen fate was and awaited them.
But little did the Mario cast knew… that this was the time when they'll finally locate the lost kingdom they were so desperate to find, which was met with a shocking fate…
To be continued…
Man, that scene where the statue blows up on Link's face and he faceplants (again) against a wall gets me every single time! Luka's reaction to that was basically my reaction when I first saw it!
I just couldn't help myself and sneak in once again another Super Mario Odyssey reference when it comes to the subject of possession! For the dungeon progress overall, it was pretty hard for me to come up with some unique moments so I decided to just give it lots of splitting up.
With that, the Tower of the Gods is completed! You definitely know what's going to happen next if you're familiar with the game! Until then!
