Stink Bag: While there is no official description of what is in the stink bag, we can be pretty sure it is shit. To get this bag, Link trades his stationary to a disembodied hand that lives at the bottom of a pit toilet. This hand is actually a recurring character in the Zelda franchise. In most of their interactions with Link, they just want some paper, any paper will do. This idea of a hand coming out of a toilet and grabbing you is apparently a popular story in Japan.

Local businesses need your help. If it is safe for you, consider getting takeout or buying a gift card from your favorite local eatery or other shops. Many of these shops exist on a razor-thin margin and the loss of business from people staying home can bankrupt businesses. I went to my favorite BBQ place in town and got way more than I needed for one meal, partially to support local business and also to avoid cooking.

Ringbox L-2: After getting the smallest ringbox, Link can buy this larger ringbox in the Lynna City Shop for a whopping 300 rupees. The medium-sized ring box can hold up to three different magical rings, but Link can still only equip one of them at any given time. 

In the lead up to any apocalypse in the United States of America, people will hoard unnecessary things. This is especially true of guns. Gun safes around the country will become overstuffed with firearms and ammunition. This will be especially helpful for the wasteland survivors that will eventually break into the safes as they fight to survive in the post-apocalyptic wreckage of the world.

Zora Scale: Link earns the Zora Scale by defeating the corruption inside the belly of Lord Jabu-Jabu. This charm can magically calm even the roughest of seas which is why Link must obtain the scale before entering the Sea of Storms.

Fans are an excellent tool when you need to discreetly cover your hands or face. They are also invaluable when trying to smuggle information. This fan has been treated so that writing on it with a special ink leaves no naturally visible marks but these marks can be read with special lights tuned to an exact wavelength. 

Post delayed due to the world being nuts

I will be posting items from Oracle of Ages tomorrow as, like many of you, my life has been a bit disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

With everything going on, it is more important than ever to be excellent to everyone.

Letter of Introduction: Link is given this letter by a friend of the Graceful Goron in exchange for some Lava Juice. After the proper introduction, the Graceful Goron will give Link the chance to earn the Mermaid Key by perfectly completing the Goron Dance. 

As a kid, perfectly completing the Goron Dance mini-game was maddening. It took me forever and I still remember how relieved I was to be done.

This whole plan only works because we got our hands on a datapad with security clearance. With this datapad, we can see when and where the nuclear device is going to be transported. It is vital that we do nothing to disrupt the data pad’s secure connection so we are not able to dig as deeply into the servers at Ad Astra Technologies as we would like.

I'm sick so here are the first five items I drew for my players.

I've been really sick lately so I haven't been able to keep up with drawing and writing. To lighten my load and give myself what feels like an easy win here are the first five items I ever drew for my players. 

Here it is. The first thing I ever drew to give to a player for a magic item. It is a bullet of assassination that I am pretty sure hasn't been used yet even though it was found very early on in the campaign.
