 The final three items from Oracle of Seasons that are sure to give you a boost. 

Blowing Wind: The winds of change carry us into the future. The sixth essence of nature is in the depths of the Ancient Ruins guarded by what I always thought was a carnivorous cactus creature.

This set of bellows can push a blast of air strong enough to make any furnace burn hot, but it also convinces the user that they should be recognized as the greatest of their trade. This curse has caused apprentices to turn on their masters, siblings to murder each other in cold blood, and other unspeakable acts of jealousy. It is unknown where the curse originated, but no one has yet connected the bellows and the curse, allowing them to pass through many hands.

Holiday: A shield for pride

 Holiday: A shield for pride.

Pride Shield: Let shield be a reminder that we each have the responsibility to use whatever privilege and power we have to protect and empower others to live their best and truest lives.

LGBTQ+ individuals often cannot rely on the comfortable structures of society to protect them from harm. In fact, many societal norms do harm to LGBTQ+ individuals and communities.

It is everyone’s responsibility to stand up to hate, intolerance, and apathy whenever it appears. Those of us with privilege and status have to do the work to listen to and raise up voices that have been oppressed and ignored.

LGBTQ+ rights are human rights.

Be excellent to everyone.

Not an artist: Five items from Oracle of Seasons that offer comfort amidst the horrors of the hollow lands.

Five items from Oracle of Seasons that offer comfort amidst the horrors of the hollow lands.

Nurturing Warmth: This essence is a bit of a visual mismatch. The symbol representing the essence is a warm looking campfire, but the essence itself is the comforting warmth of spring and summer that allows things to grow. Link finds the essence at the end of the Unicorn’s Cave guarded by a monstrosity that is mostly just one large eye covered in writhing tentacles.

In the twilight age of the world, as the primal flame that brought life and warmth to all things burns down to embers, only the smallest sparks of light and life still burn. These fires offer comfort and healing to those brave or mad souls who wish to fight against the inevitable darkness that will consume all things. These flames must be nurtured by mortal hands, and as each of the firekeepers fall, out goes another point of light in the ever growing dark.

I really liked Dark Souls and I also don’t think I will ever play another Souls-like game again. I am just not at the point in my life where I can get repeatedly beat down by a game for hours in the vain hope of making progress. Maybe I’ll feel differently once the world stops repeatedly beating me down for months, but until then, I’m looking for more hopeful games to play.

You can help others feel hopeful by being excellent to everyone,

Gift of Time: The second of the eight essences of nature. Link must defeat the dodongo in the Snake’s Remains to earn this essence. With it, he is reminded that patience is a virtue and even the best things take time to grow.

According to its creator, they did not invent the device, rather the idea for the device came to them through divine inspiration. Whether or not its divine origins are to be believed, there is no doubting that this device is able to answer questions with absolute truth. Unfortunately, the device only answers questions by responding with a series of symbols that must be interpreted by experts using extensive reference material or extremely rare savants.
