"Hmhmhmhm…" Hateno's gate guard patrolled the entrance with a hum, practicing a few swings to keep him awake.
"Open the gate! OPEN THE GATE!"
"Hmm?" The guard turned his head to see Weiss running toward the gate with an army of Stalkoblins behind her, only they exploded behind her courtesy of a Remote Bomb.
"Open it NOW!" She yelled as the guard proceeded to open the gate as quick as he could as Weiss dove through as he quickly shut it as the Stalkoblins shut the gate and pulled another switch as a magical barrier wrapped around Hateno as a Stalkoblin disintegrated the moment it touched a gate.
"Phew…" The guard sighed in relief. "What the hell were you doing out there this late at night?"
"Aheheheh… weeeeell…"

Weiss approached the grave site where Calip once was. Looks like he went home for the night… She thought as she looked at the various stones, rubbing her chin. She immediately shifted her eyes to see one with glowing eyes.
"Ah… there it is." She mused as she stared at it. "Pierce its gaze…" She folded her arms as she had an idea, pulling out her Traveler's Spear. "Pierce as in… spear?" She guessed and stabbed the statue, but it did nothing.
She put the spear away as an idea came to her head as she pulled out her bow. "What if…" She fired an arrow, to which right on cue, the shrine rose up from the ground.
"Perfect!" She smiled, pulling the arrow out of the statue and put it away as she walked into the shrine after activating it.

"To you who sets foot in this shrine… I am Kam Urog. In the name of the Goddess Hylia, I offer this trial."
Trial of Passage
Weiss walked down the ramp and approached the spinning area. She would immediately see the spike balls rolling across the room as some platforms rotated. Weiss immediately used Magnesis to push them away and rode up.
As she did, she would see a small opening as she dropped down on a gear and walked into the opening, finding a chest that contained an Opal.
She turned around to see another treasure chest glued to a platform, with said chest being upside down. Weiss tilted her head with a raised eyebrow, wondering how gravity had no effect on this treasure chest.
"Just like that maze one…" Weiss said as the platform made its way to her as she walked over and opened up the chest that contained a Soldier's Spear. "Sweet." She put the spear in her bag and rode it up, where she hopped off at the top and walked out, finding the shrine where she walked over and got herself a Spirit orb.

Weiss walked out with a hum. "That was neat." She said as she walked out… when suddenly a skeletal arm shot out of the ground as a Stalkoblin pulled itself out and snarled at Weiss. "Whoa! What the heck?!"
The Stalkoblin snarled, proceeding to try to skewer her with a spear, but she was able to dodge it and sweep kicked the head clean off in retaliation.
"Ha!" Weiss smirked, but the Stalkoblin walked over and picked its head back up and reattached it. "...Oh."
The skeletal monster turned around and approached her, only to get blasted away by a Remote Bomb, blowing it to pieces.
"That should do it!" Weiss smirked, but was completely dismayed when it was piecing it back together. Weiss immediately ran over and yanked the head away, proceeding to toss it in the air and fired an arrow at it to destroy the head, which caused the skeleton to crumble to nothing.
"Good riddance." She said as she turned around… and more Stalkoblins rose up from the ground. "Oh come on…" She said in frustration as she blew them up as well, but more rose up from the ground.
"Right… well… only one thing to do here." She said as she made a glyph and vaulted over the Stalkoblins. "GETTING THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"
The Stalkoblins gave chase as more rose from the ground, only for Weiss to drop Remote Bombs occasionally to get them off her back temporarily.

Back in the present…
BGM: Hateno Village - Night (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)
"Yeah, Hyrule does have a bit of a zombie problem at night…" The guard mused. "But, hey, at least they don't visit the villages!"
"Good to… know…" Weiss said, exhausted from all that running as she stood back up and started to walk… only to see Hateno's shrine.
She stared at it, her eye twitched.
"I could have teleported straight for here… UGH!" She facepalmed. "Stupid!"
She sighed. "Well… it is what it is, I guess." She said as she walked over to her new home that she had recently got from Bolson… but when she walked in, there was hardly anything to sleep on, let alone a bed.
"Oh. Right…"
She turned around and walked through the village before finding the Inn. "Ah, there we go." She said as she paid a few Rupees for the night, then walked into a door they had assigned her too and walked in, closing the door behind her.
End BGM
Weiss let out a yawn. "What a day…" She said to herself as she climbed into the bed and immediately fell asleep when her head hit the pillow.
"Weiss… come to Lanayru Mountain when you are ready… I await for you at the peak of the mountain."
BGM: Hateno Village (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)
Weiss woke up to the sound of a Cucco crowing as she rubbed her eyes, seeing that it was early in the morning. Her eyes were still sleepy as she groggily went into the bathroom and fixed herself a bath to soak in for a little while.
She came out feeling more refreshed as she put her clothing back on and stretched. "I wonder what that dream was about… I had a feeling Lanayru Mountain was calling for me, but…"
She shook her head. "Probably nothing to worry about yet…"
Weiss walked downstairs where she had herself some breakfast of scrambled eggs, ham and some milk while she looked through her Sheikah Slate.
"Mmmm… if only I had a complete map, I can see where I'm going." She said to herself as she looked up to see a map on a wall. "Hmm?" She wondered as she saw the full complete map compared to her map on the Slate.
She finished her meal and approached the map to get a better look at it.
"Oh my… this is the whole map of Hyrule." She whispered as she immediately took a picture of it with her Slate and then went back to her seat, taking a look at the map in her photos. "Okay, let's see… there's the route that goes to Zora's Domain… but that's cutting through Guardian territory…"
She set her eyes on a swamp and narrowed her eyes. "But if I cut through the Lanayru Wetlands… yeah, that'd be a shortcut!"
She immediately switched to her incomplete map. "My best bet is to teleport to the Dueling Peaks tow-... actually, I think Bosh Kala might be even better. Yeah!" She smiled as she walked out.
"Have a great day~!" The Innkeeper waved as Weiss walked out with a wave, then teleported straight for the Bosh Kala shrine.

Weiss appeared at the shrine and smirked. "Alright… here we go!" She said as she went north, looking at the picture she took and followed the road ahead where she started to run, knocking down a few Bokoblins and Chu Chus that got way too close to her.
During her journey, her Sheikah Slate immediately warned her that a shrine was nearby, and when she got closer, she also saw a stable… but first things first, the shrine. She walked up to it and then went inside.

"To you who sets foot in this shrine… I am Wahgo Katta. In the name of the Goddess Hylia, I offer this trial."
Metal Connections
Weiss looked at the shrine above her before glancing toward the three metal cubes stacked on top of each other. Those look climbable… She thought as she decided to test it out, and proceeded to climb them up with ease. Good to know!
She found a chest at the top and opened it up to find some Amber.
She turned around and saw a metal ramp on another platform. She started to use Magnesis to pull the tower forward… but stopped herself. "Wait… I wonder…"
She immediately conjured up a few glyphs and hopped her way over to the metal ramp and dismissed the glyphs. She then used Magnesis to grab the ramp and positioned it just right and had a glyph keep it steady in midair.
"Ingenious…" Wahgo Katta mused.
Weiss walked toward the edge and made more Glyphs where she hopped over to the shrine and collected her Spirit Orb, though she could've sworn she saw Wahgo Katta give her two thumbs up in approval.

Weiss walked out of the shrine and made her way over to the stable.

"Oh hey, it's you!" A voice said as Weiss turned her head to see Yang approaching her. "Hellooooo~!"
"Oh! Hi… Yang, right?"
"Bingo! You're… don't tell me… Winter?"
"Weiss."
"Ah, close enough!" Yang chuckled. "So, what brings you here?"
"Traveling to Zora's Domain."
"The fish folk, eh? Nice choice." Yang smiled.
"Yeah… so uh… listen, about yesterday… I'm sorry I bailed on you guys. It was just-"
"Ah, don't worry about it. I get it, Roman and Neo tend to make things awkward and we do tend to get into heated arguments that causes a lot of people to sneak away."
"Are they here right now?"
"Nah, they're off somewhere else. Beedle's having some breakfast. Soooo, you want something?"
"Do you usually sell… bugs or whatever?"
"Ah, Beedle just likes bugs and frogs, and while I do typically sell those… I've got something better. I sell weapons!"
"Oh, do you now?"
"Mhm!" Yang nodded as she put her backpack down. "It's not like, super duper rare like what Roman and Neo have, but I do sell these at a good price."
Weiss sat down to look over the weapons while handing her the Ore. "I imagine you like these?"
"Ooooh, pretty!" Yang smiled as she took them. "By the way, have you heard of this beast called a Talus?"
"A Tal-what now?"
"You haven't seen one yet? Well, good thing… they tend to be a headache. They disguise themselves as rocks and when you sit on them to rest, they'll get angry and proceed to clobber you. I… might have done it a few times by accident."
"...Disguise itself as a rock… oh my…"
"Mhm. Rumor has it that they have tons of ore inside of them. Diamonds, rubies, sapphires, the works. However, I was never able to get some of them because those things tend to get a bit wild. Oh, and do NOT get me started on their magma and ice counterparts."
"Ooooh… they come in different flavors?"
"Oooooh yeah. They'll burn and freeze you up good. Nearly lost my hair to an Igneo Talus once…"
"I'll… keep that in mind." Weiss nodded as she looked through, before spotting some gauntlets. "Hey, what are these gold gauntlets?"
"Huh? How'd they get mixed in there?" She wondered as she pulled them away. "Ahehehe, sorry… not for sale."
"Are they yours?"
"Yup."
"Sounds to me that you're a fighter."
"I… used to be. Now I'm just a traveling saleswoman with Beedle."
"What happened?"
"It's… complicated. I don't like talking about it."
"Oh… sorry."
"Nah, you're good!" Yang smiled as Weiss looked through the various options and picked up a Traveler's Sword.
"This'll do."
"Excellent choi-" Yang spotted the Hylian Shield. "Hey, that's a cool shield!"
"Thanks."
"You wanna sell it to me? I can give ya a lot of Rupees for it."
Weiss looked at Yang. "I'm not giving this up to a sales person."
Yang laughed. "Ah, I'm just messing with ya! That shield seems to be one of a kind anyway… and hey, it looks good on you." She winked. "I'd take good care of it if I were you. You don't really see it that often."
"Yeah." Weiss nodded as she gave her the Rupees and then stood up. "Alright… see you later."
"See ya! And next time, I might have cooler weapons for you!"
"Looking forward to it!" Weiss called out as she put her Traveler's Sword in her bag and continued onward.

"Alright… I should be close to the Wetlands. I ought to cut through-"
The Sheikah Slate "booped", cuing her of another shrine.
"Another one close by?" She wondered as she walked further along and found said shrine across the river. "Aha!"
She used her ice magic to make platforms as she hopped over… and got shot into the water by an Octorok that sniped her.
Weiss got up onto the platform, rubbing her head. "What was-" She saw the Octorok. "You little…!"
The Octorok jumped out and spat out another rock, only to get an arrow to the squishy forehead and killed it, where Weiss swam over and found herself an Octo Balloon for her trouble. "Oookay… might use this for later." She said and got to the other side.
She looked at the shrine up ahead and smiled, slowly approaching it.
"ACK! WAAAAAIIIIIT!" A voice cried, startling Weiss.
"Waaah! What…?!" Weiss yelped as she turned to the source.
"You're gonna step on those flowers! Please don't do that!"
"Huh…?" Weiss looked down at the flowers. "...Oh." She backed away.
"Phew… you could've seriously hurt them!"
"I'm sorry! I was just walking toward the shrine-"
"If you want to offer yourself up to the shrine, then walk through the designated path I've created."
"Designated pa-" Weiss saw the rows of flowers surrounding the shrine. "Holy Hylia, woman!"
"I… have a thing for flowers… I felt the need to dedicate my love for this shrine to plant flowers in its honor." She said. "I'm Magda, by the way."
"Weiss Schnee." Weiss greeted as she started to walk through the path.
Pause BGM
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" A voice laughed as Weiss looked around before turning her attention to the top of the shrine, where a Yiga Footsoldier appeared.
BGM: Master Kohga Battle (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom)
"Prepare to die, Heroine of Hyrule! Glory to Master Kohga!" He declared as he jumped down and landed on the floors.
"Eeep!" Magda cringed as the Yiga ran forward and slashed her, but she quickly parried with her Hylian Shield as the Yiga backflipped and landed on more flowers.
"Have some of thi-"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!"
End BGM
Both paused their battle to see a distressed Magda. "What do you think you're doing?!" Magda demanded.
"Uh… assassinating the heroine?"
"Well, go assassinate her someplace else! You're ruining my flowers! Can't you hear them cry out in pain?"
"Cry out in pa-... are you serious?" The Yiga scratched his head in bewilderment. "They're just flowers!"
"They're my children!"
"...Look lady, I'm sure you can afford to lose a couple of flowers."
"Repeat that one more time. Slowly. And replace "flowers" with "children"!"
The Yiga sweatdropped. "You botanists are weird." He said as he noticed Weiss sneaking away. "Hey! Where do you think you're going!" He yelled as he cut through more of the flowers, trampling over them.
"No! No no no no no! PLEASE STOP!"
"HIYAH!" The Yiga swung his sickle as Weiss avoided it, where the sickle "beheaded" some of the flowers.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!" Magda shrieked as Weiss blocked the attack, but she glanced over to see Magda seething with rage, complete with a dark shadow over her eyes.
"Mmmph!" Weiss whimpered, feeling very afraid. She could have sworn she was hearing thunder coming from Magda herself. She jumped away, making sure not to step on any flowers.
"What's the matter, too much of a coward?" The Yiga demanded, to which a fierce hand latched onto his shoulder. "Huh?"
He turned his head, seeing that Magda had a harsh grip on his shoulder.
"I've asked you to assassinate her somewhere else… and all you did was kill my precious babies… I've asked you time and time again and you ignored me! NOW YOU WILL FEEL THEIR WRATH!"
"Oh get a grip, lady! There's no way- waaaah!" He yelped as Magda yanked him away… and proceeded to unleash unspeakable horror on the man, all the while Weiss watched on in horror before she backed away and quickly hauled ass to the shrine.
"No! No! OW! OW! AAAAAGH! OOOOF! GRAAAAH!"
"YOU FEEL THE WRATH?! DO YOU FEEL IT?! DO YOU FEEL THE WRATH OF THE FLOWERS YET?! BREATHE IN THAT INTOXICATING POLLEN!"
"Come on, come on… open up, open up…!"
"AIYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
The shrine activated as Weiss immediately ran inside.

Drifting
"Okay. That's going to be in my nightmares for a long time…" Weiss shuddered as she walked forward, hopping on a raft and made her way across after it drifted to an opening.
She then did the same with three rafts, but spotted a sunken treasure chest as she pulled it out with Magnesis and opened it up for some Opal, then she continued on to find a watery loop with several explosive barrels drifting alongside a treasure chest.
She used Cryonis to bring the chest up to the surface, and when she opened it up, she found five Ice Arrows.
"Oooh, these could come in handy." She said as she put them away and then blew up a rock wall with a Remote Bomb, though she was blown into the water after it exploded next to an explosive barrel that she didn't see.
Weiss climbed back up on the ice pillar. "Whooof… that was… wild…" She said to herself as she made her way to the end and collected the Spirit Orb, feeling her burn wounds disappear.
End BGM
Weiss walked back out, and noticed Magda behind the Yiga with her arms folded, watching him replant every single flower.
"And make sure they're properly watered!"
"Do I have to do it all…? I didn't damage all of them."
"You damaged their spirits and therefore, they lost the will to bloom. Redo it EXACTLY as I had done it."
"But that'll take forever!"
"If you keep griping, it will!" Magda said as she looked at Weiss, her friendly demeanor returning. "Hi Weiss~! I managed to get this sickle away from him. Here you go~! Oh, and have these bananas that I punched out of his pockets and some Rupees too!"
"Uuuuh… thanks…?" Weiss put them away while looking at her warily.
The Yiga glared at Weiss. "I'll get you for this when I'm done…!" He growled.
"Oi! Did I say you could stop!" She smacked him with a trowel while Weiss hurried away from them.

"Better him than me…" Weiss shuddered as she crossed the river again and made her way to the Lanayru Wetlands.
"Alright, just straight ahead." She said to herself and started to run across the marsh, and then in the corner of her eye, she spotted a shrine on one of the islands, prompting her to make a detour and headed straight for the shrine.
At the same time, Lizalfos proceeded to ambush her, forcing her to pull out the Guardian Sword and slashed at them, fending them off with the sword… or making them fly with her Remote Bombs.
She continued on to the shrine, activating it while using her Ice magic to make ice sculptures of some Lizalfos, then she walked in.

Sunken Scoop
Weiss approached the water, looking at the three orbs in the water and then looked at the cage. "Hmmm…" She rubbed her chin as she summoned a Remote Bomb, but then noticed a bowl underwater.
She used Magnesis to pull it out while dismissing the bomb and used it to scoop up an orb and dropped it in the cage after some maneuvering, which caused the door to open up.
Weiss dropped the bowl into the water and walked into the next part, noticing a switch underwater and three orbs with a locked cage.
"Wait… why isn't there-... oooooh."
Weiss walked back and grabbed the bowl with Magnesis, pulling it toward her and manuevered it to grab an orb and placed it on top of the cage, and then dropped the bowl underwater, where it pushed the switch to cause the cage to open up and the orb went inside, which in turn drained the water.
Weiss then turned to the other room. "I wonder if there's anything in there…" She wondered as she went to investigate, hopping down and finding a treasure chest in a hidden room. She walked up to it and pulled out a Silver Longsword.
"Whoa…" She whistled at the design of the sword. She smiled and then strapped it to her back before she headed off to collect her Spirit Orb.
End BGM
She walked out. "Alright… Zora's Fountain should be-"
"Heeeeey!" A voice called out as Weiss turned her head to see a Zora in some deep water.
"...A fish person?" Weiss wondered. Wait, I think that's a Zora. She thought as she approached the Zora.
"Oh good, you heard me!" She smiled. "I was on the lookout for any Hylians that are willing to help."
"With what?"
She pointed off toward Zora's Domain. "We have a situation. Sidon is looking for help. We were hoping a Hylian would come help us with our problem. It's been raining constantly over there and if we don't do something about it soon…"
"So… build a dam?"
"That's the thing… our dams are almost completely overloaded!"
"Oh… well, I was on my way there so-"
"Excellent! What is your name, by the way?"
"Weiss Schnee."
"Weiss? …Huh, that's strange, that sounds a bit Lanayran…" She mused as Weiss walked off. "Still, good luck!"
With a nod, Weiss walked off, continuing to walk through the Wetlands, while also seeing a Guardian walking around. She quickly hid from it as it scouted the area, getting closer to her and scanned the area.
Nearby, a Lizalfos snuck up behind Weiss and with a snarl, it jumped up in the air with a screech, which in turn startled the Guardian as it turned around and fired, making the Lizalfos fly away.
The Guardian turned around and walked the other way, away from Weiss.
"I should feel sorry for that Lizalfos, but…" Weiss quickly snuck off when the Guardian wasn't looking.
In the distance, she spotted a shrine on a lone island in the river, causing her to make a detour straight for the shrine, and in doing so, she came across the Moor Garrison Ruins crawling with Bokoblins… or was crawling with Bokoblins after Weiss carpet bombed them into oblivion, including the ones wielding Shock Arrows.
She explored the ruins until she found a treasure chest, pulling out a Knight's Halberd and put it away, then she turned around and made her way to the Shrine… only it was covered in thorns. She pulled out a Fire Arrow and let it fly, burning them away as she made her way into the shrine.

Speed of Light
Weiss rubbed her chin as she looked at what she had to do. "Hmm…" She mused as she decided to look around and stumbled upon a chest near the entrance. She hopped down and pulled out some Opal.
She then hopped down into the water and wandered around, spotting a laser. She got back up to the starting position and looked at a wheel on the ground. She proceeded to push, which in turn caused the laser to spin around.
"Oh!" Weiss ducked instinctively as the laser went over her head, though if she stood up, it wasn't even close to hitting her at all as the laser made its way and struck the light, causing the area to flood.
Weiss hopped into the water and swam across until she climbed out of the water and noticed a metal barrel and a switch underwater. She smiled and used Magnesis to push it into the water… but when she let go of it, it launched out of the water.
"...Huh?" Weiss tilted her head in confusion before she walked over to the entryway, pulling out her Traveler's Bow and fired an arrow, causing the waters to recede… and then the barrel went on the switch, causing the door to open.
Weiss walked through, and then noticed a treasure chest near her. She used some glyphs to hop on them and opened the chest, pulling out a Giant Boomerang.
"Huh… okay…" She put it away and hopped down, collecting the Spirit Orb for her troubles.

"Excuse me!" A voice called out to Weiss.
"Hmm?" She looked to see another Zora approaching. "Oh, hello."
"I was looking for a Hylian. Would you be willing to help out with our problem?"
"I was on my way there anyway."
"Excellent!" The Zora pointed her toward Lanayru Tower. "You see that tower over there? That's where you need to go."
"Thanks." Weiss nodded, preceding to use Cryonis on the river and made her way to the other side, while also seeing some Ore Deposits as she made her way over and destroyed them, grabbing herself some Luminous Stones.
Weiss looked at one of them. "It's just an ordinary rock… what's so special about it?" She wondered as she headed off for Lanayru Tower, where she noticed clouds were rolling in and before she knew it, it started to rain.
"Talk about bad timing…" Weiss said as she put her hood up and walked toward the tower, using the Cryonis to cross the river and then used her glyphs to get her way up since the rock walls were too slippery.
She then reached the tower and proceeded to climb her way up to the top, with the platforms as rest areas before she made her way up and activated the tower with her Sheikah Slate, which in turn caused more of her incomplete map to light up.
"Cool." She smiled.
"Ooooh, this is so high up…"
"Hmm?" Weiss turned to see a Zora looking way down. "You okay?"
"Wah!" The Zora yelped as he turned around. "Gah… don't startle me like that! You almost made me jump off!"
"Sorry? So uh… you decided to climb up here?"
"Not intentionally. See, I was here taking a na-er, I mean, looking for a Hylian to help us out when this tower decided to rise up out of nowhere! I've been stuck up here ever since!"
Weiss sweatdropped. "I see… well, I'm a Lanayran, but I can help out with your problem."
"You can?!" His eyes sparkled as he walked over to a different part of the tower. "HEEEEEEEY! SIDOOOOON! I FOUND A LANAYRAN WHO CAN HELP OUT! SIDOOOOOOOOON!"
No answer.
"He can't even hear me…" He pouted. "Well, I'm sure that you can make your way down as long as you're not reck-" Weiss jumped off. "HEY, WHAT ARE YOU-... welp, there she goes." He sighed, only to see her opening up her paraglider and gliding her way down. "Oh!"
"Alright, time to meet this Sidon…" She said, only to find a shrine on her way by. "Oh! First things first…"
She glided her way over and dropped to the ground, using a glyph to break her fall and then hopped off, walking her way into the shrine.

"To you who sets foot in this shrine… I am Soh Kofi. In the name of the Goddess Hylia, I offer this combat trial."
A Minor Test of Strength
"Combat trial…?" Weiss wondered as she approached… and then a Guardian rose up from the ground, pulling out a shield and a sword.
BGM: Shrine Battle (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)
Weiss pulled out her Silver Longsword and readied her Hylian Shield. "Bring it!" She said as the two of them charged at each other, the Lanayran quickly swinging her sword and getting a few hits in, to which the Guardian bashed its shield into her face to get to back off.
The Guardian swung its sword but she parried with her Hylian Shield and counter attacked. The Guardian parried her and slashed her in the stomach. "Gah!" She yelped as she was knocked back as the Guardian jumped back, spreading its arms out and charged forward, spinning its arms as Weiss quickly put up a Glyph to block its advances.
Weiss got back up and slashed at the Guardian in retaliation, swinging it repeatedly until the Guardian jumped back again, this time deciding to spin around while shooting a laser, which in turn caused an updraft as Weiss used this to her advantage and used her Paraglider to shoot up into the air, and then immediately nocked an Ice Arrow into her bow and fired, hitting in the eye as Weiss landed on the ground and swung hard, knocking the Guardian away.
The Guardian glared at Weiss… where it started to charge up a laser. Weiss's eyes widened as she put her sword away and tried to hide behind a pillar where it opened fire, destroying the pillar and then fired again, hitting Weiss and knocking her to the ground.
"Uuuungh…!" Weiss groaned as she painfully sat up as the Guardian charged up again. Weiss got back up and used her Hylian Shield where the Guardian fired multiple shots… but the lasers were deflected and shot off to either side.
Huh? Weiss wondered as she had an idea. This is stupid, but it might work!
The Guardian charged up again as Weiss readied herself again. The Guardian unleashed its laser, but in a split second, Weiss parried the laser with her shield, sending it back to the Guardian and destroyed it, sending the sword and shield flying as it exploded.
End BGM
"I can parry the lasers…" Weiss whispered as her eyes widened, recalling how the Guardian she met at Hyrule Field nearly lasered her to oblivion. Her eyes immediately sparkled by this revelation. "Ooooh, those Guardians won't know what'll hit 'em~!"
She excitedly walked up and collected the Guardian Sword and Guardian Shield as she made her way over to the chest from the door that had opened up, pulling out a Soldier's Bow and happily walked over to collect her Spirit Orb.
She then walked out with a happy hum as she hopped down the small cliff and made her way to Inogo Bridge.
"Say, here there! Young lady!"
…Would I still technically be young if I'm a century old? Weiss thought to herself as she looked around for the source of the voice.
"Up top! Above you!"
BGM: Sidon's Theme (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)
Weiss looked up, and before she knew it, a large Zora jumped off of a tower, somersaulted and gracefully landed on the ground.
"Pardon the entrance, but you're a Hylian, aren't you? I was hoping perhaps you'd have a moment to talk!"
"Um…" Weiss took a step back.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intimidate you." He said. "Where are my manners? I'm Sidon, the Zora Prince!" He smiled, where his teeth twinkled a bit.
Did his teeth just twinkle… in the rain?
"Tell me, what is your name?"
"Um… Weiss."
"Weiss! Your name is Weiss? What a fantastic name! Though I can't help but wonder if I've heard that name somewhere before…"
Come to think of it, I can't help but wonder where I've heard Sidon before… sounds familiar… Weiss thought to herself.
"Ah, but no matter. It sounds like a strong name! Now then, I was hoping a Hylian like you-"
"Technically, I'm Lanayran…"
"A Lanayran! I thought they all went extinct! Now this is truly fascinating…" He smiled. "Now then, as I was saying before, I was hoping you'd help our people. You see, this perpetual rainstorm is being produced by the Divine Beast Vah Ruta herself! If we don't do something, then all of Hyrule could possibly flood if the dams are overrun!"
"I'll see what I can do."
"Excellent! Now unfortunately, due to the rain's slippery nature, you can't climb up so you'll have to go the long way around, which is crawling with monsters that have electrical properties."
"I've faced several monsters before, I'm sure I can manage."
"Terrific! I'll meet you over at Zora's Domain! Who knows, I might bring my best friend over to help you out!" He smiled. "He has a knack for electrical weapons."
"Good to know." Weiss nodded.
"I'll see you on the other side!" Sidon dove into the water. "And good luck!"

"Aaagh… where have I seen him before…?" Weiss wondered as she turned around and started to make her way up, taking out various Lizalfos and Octoroks, while also breaking open boxes for food and spare arrows. She ate up a fish as she walked through the path, dodging Octoroks and Lizalfos attacking her as she retaliated.
She continued on where several Electric Keese attacked her, but she fired a few arrows to get them crashing to the ground. She then walked up, and noticed an army of Lizalfos wandering around, holding Shock Arrows.
"...There's no way I'm going to survive that." She said to herself as she decided to go around them, cutting through some trees with the Lizalfos none the wiser as she got back on the trail and ran up.
"Heheh, suckers." She said as she continued her way up, proceeding to fight more Lizalfos as one Lizalfos dropped a Lizal Boomerang after it was taken out by Weiss, which she threw at a Lizalfos sniper, knocking it off the tower as it returned to her. Weiss grabbed it and ran straight for the Lizalfos, finishing it off.
She would then see a small area where some fish was being cooked by a Lizalfos. Weiss fired an arrow at the Lizalfos' head to kill it, then she hopped down to retrieve the cooked fish that she immediately ate up, then proceeded her way through Luto's Crossing.
"Heeeey!" Sidon called out to Weiss as she approached the railing. "You're just halfway there! Keep going!"
"Got it!" Weiss nodded, and then heard a roar as she turned around to see a blue Moblin approaching her. "Whoa!"
The Moblin readied his club as he was ready to swing… when all of a sudden, an electrical spear struck the Moblin as it roared in agony as a man ran up ahead and removed the spear, proceeding to swing at the Moblin before pressing a button as it switched to a laser pistol of sorts as he shot at the Moblin to finish it off.
"Phew, that could've been messy." He said as Weiss took a better look at the man.
Blue hair, goggles, a red coat and some khakis, not to mention some black boots… the man strapped his weapon on his back.
"Who are you?" Weiss asked.
"Oh, me? I'm just a handsome dude that lives in Zora's Domain, and the best friend of the prince." He said. "Neptune Vasilias. What's yours, cutie?"
"Weiss Schne-... did you just call me "cutie"?"
"What can I say? It's not every day a damsel is about to get clobbered by a Moblin~" He winked.
"I can hold my own, thank you very much."
"By the looks of it… yes. Buuuut it doesn't help to have some back up, no?"
"I suppose not." Weiss nodded as she looked over the railing. "Heeeey, is this Neptune dork your friend?"
"Ah, Neptune came over? Yes, that would be my friend!"
"Good to know… he's a bit of a flirt though!"
"He flirts with any lady, even the Zoras!"
Weiss turned to Neptune. "...Really?"
"Eh, it's part of my charm!" Neptune smiled.
"...Uh… okay then." She sweatdropped as she walked off. "You gonna admire me some more or are you gonna escort me to Zora's Domain?"
"Ah, right!" Neptune caught up to Weiss, where she would see a bunch of dead monsters lying on the ground.
"...Did you…?"
"I would've met ya a lot sooner, but ya know, monsters afoot." Neptune chuckled as Weiss nodded, walking around and collecting two Lizal Spears and a Zora Spear, and a Lightning Rod from a dead Wizzrobe, then she also found a Forked Lizal Spear.
"Goodness me, why didn't you pick any of these up?" Weiss asked.
"Eh, I like having Tri-Hard on me, my weapon of choice."
Weiss blinked. "You named your weapon… Try Hard."
"With an I! Because…" Neptune pressed a button as his spear turned into a trident. "Ta-dah~!"
"I see… well, that's definitely a good name for you since your flirting game needs work." She said as she walked off.
"Ah, thank you! …Hey!" Neptune ran after her as they started to walk through the bridge leading to Zora's Domain.
"So, do you get many visitors here?"
"Well, we had one show up from Lurelin Village… and then the rain came down and she's been stuck here ever since. Apparently, according to her, she came here because there were fish here that aren't available at Lurelin."
"Interesting… what's her name?"
"Ah… I haven't asked her yet but she has long black hair and a bow on her head. She also has a book she likes to put her nose into. Can't miss her."
"I'll keep that in mind." Weiss nodded as they walked through the bridge until they arrived at Zora's Domain.
"Hey!" Sidon approached Weiss with a smile. "Welcome to Zora's Domain!"
I've never really understood the thirst for best fish bro... yeah, he's charming but I never thought of him as attractive. I also fail to understand on how him finding a girl in ToTK was extremely controversial for the guy. Good for him because Yona's a cutie!
