Slingshot: Link uses the slingshot to fling mystical seeds at enemies and triggers. Like the seed shooter in Labrynna, the slingshot uses different seeds to different effects, such as ember seeds being used for incendiary ammunition. Link finds the slingshot in the Dancing Dragon Dungeon atop the heights of Mt.Cucco.
The freelance assassin known only as Svarta favors a set of short-range crossbows that can fire a volley of bolts in mere moments. Svarta has been hired to acquire the package by any means necessary. They have also been informed that other operatives have been contracted by rival agencies to acquire the same package, meaning the competition will be deadly.
Hyper Slingshot: This upgraded version of the slingshot shoots a spread of three mystical seeds simultaneously when fired. The magic of this slingshot means Link only uses one seed even though he fires three projectiles. The hyper-slingshot is the main item of the Sword and Shield Maze, the final dungeon Link explores in, or more accurately beneath, Holodrum.
Blanci is a long-range specialist whose hawk-faced arbalest can send deadly bolts into targets blocks away. They have been contracted to acquire a certain package from a small order of zealous monks living an isolated life on the fringes of downtown. Blanci and Svarta have what some have called an unhealthy rivalry, and it is only a matter of time before they realize they are after the same thing.
Seed Satchel: Link uses the satchel to carry the magically volatile seeds that grow on mystical trees across Holodrum. Without the satchel, Link can’t use ember seeds to start fires, gale seeds to quickly travel, or pegasus seeds for a much-needed speed boost. The satchel is found in the Gnarled Root Dungeon, the first dungeon explored by Link just north of Horon Village.
The satchel originally only holds twenty of each seed, but Link can upgrade its capacity twice. The first upgrade can be purchased from the exclusive members-only basement shop of the Horon Village Shop. The second upgrade can only be obtained by passing a secret from a Labrynnan deku scrub to a deku scrub in the dynamic Natzu region in a linked game.
Fun fact, I almost never choose any animal companion but my main marine dodongo Dimitri, so I didn't know that the Natzu region changed depending on your choice. I guess I should have because the Natzu river is impassible unless you have Dimitri's help.
The monks who guard these sacred treasures are no fools. They have kept them safe for hundreds of years using many elaborate safeguards and precautions. One less elaborate, but no less effective, safeguard is having many dummy cases made to ensure that only the inner circle of the order are ever sure where the true relics are hidden. This trickery may not be enough to keep the relics safe, especially when operatives have been hired to steal every possible duplicate.

The first image for the seed satchel may give some clues as to what the cards representing the seeds from Oracle of Seasons will be. Check back next week to see my interpretations of the seeds, from first through fifth.
COVID cases are again on the rise globally, so I would just ask that everyone wear a mask, avoid gatherings, and keep your socializing to electronic and distanced methods of keeping in touch. People are dying, so do what you can to save lives.
Be excellent to everyone.
