The Minish Cap: Every key to the house

 Every key to the house

Big Key: Each dungeon has a powerful creature Link must overcome to earn the dungeon’s rewards. Each of these boss monsters are waiting behind impressive doors bound with magical gold chains that can only be opened using the big key found in that dungeon. Link must earn each big key through solving puzzles and vanquishing foes as to prove his worth and readiness to face the dungeon’s beast.

It was so nice of that eccentric noble to take you in and adopt you as their own. When they gave you the keys to the manor with free reign of the place, besides that one door, you felt like you had finally proved you were worthy of someone’s trust. It does bother you that you aren’t allowed to open only that one door, what could possibly be back there?

March 4th was my 8 year anniversary of this blog. I’ve got plenty more drawings in me, especially once I hit the Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom inventories. Thanks for joining me on this ride.

Read the story of Bluebeard to find out the exciting truth behind the forbidden door.

ICE is still stomping around MN, and with the Trump administration's illegal war in Iran, things are not looking up. Find a community you enjoy and support it. Find an artist you enjoy and support them. Find a cause you believe in and support it. Participate however you can.

The Minish Cap: A leprechaun’s pot of gold

 A leprechaun’s pot of gold


Big Green Rupee: Green is the simplest of the rupees, so big green rupees are the least valuable of the big rupees. Worth 50 of their smaller kin, Link often finds big green rupees in chests and soft soil as a reward for solving a minor puzzle.

Spending all summer searching for a leprechaun’s hidden gold is a waste of time. Spending all summer carefully tracking local leprechauns so that you can catch one after a particularly wild midsummer revel just takes commitment. Now that you’ve got this hungover fairy caught, you’ve got to get them to take you to their real gold, and not some false cache hidden to fool amateurs.

The Minish Cap: A sick dragon skull

 A sick dragon skull

Big Bomb Bag: These bags increase Link’s ability to carry bombs each time he obtains a new bag. One can be purchased, one is given by a fairy, and the third is a reward for fusing kinstones. If Link gets all three, he can carry 99 bombs to break cracked walls or boulders.

Getting a text from your friend that says, “we found a sick dragon skull” should mean they found a wicked cool skull, but you are friends with a thaumapaleontologists. They have been excavating a draconic grave pit filled with remains that show clear signs of severe illness. Such a find could rewrite the common understanding that dragons are impervious to all but the most heroic attacks, or it could reveal proof of a truly legendary plague lost to time.

That right there is a Skyrim dragon skull. I am proud at how well drawing that from reference went.

ICE’s “draw down from MN” has just moved ICE agents to smaller communities in MN that have less resources to organize, leaving their residents more at risk.
