Wind Waker: Antique diving equipment from Wind Waker.

Magic Armor: The magic armor in Wind Waker is an arcane barrier that drains either Link’s magic bar or his rupees, original game and HD release respectively, when activated. Link is protected from harm while the barrier is maintained. If Link’s magic bar or rupees run out, the barrier drops. The magic armor is an optional item and can be obtained from Zunari the merchant after completing enough of the trading sequence.

The thrill of being the first person to discover the ruins of a sunken city that could be Atlantis was greatly diminished in discovering a derelict submarine and an antiquated diving suit in the entry of the city’s central temple. While you may not be the first person to rediscover the lost city, it seems you will be the first person to tell the tale, as the diving suit contains the skeletal remains of the sunken city’s first visitor. With your modern diving equipment, you are sure to have more luck than that poor soul.

Spoils Bag: This bag is used to hold the various minor treasures dropped by defeated enemies across the Great Sea. With the spoils bag, Link can hold up to 99 of each of the different treasures to be traded or sold. Link must pass the rope swinging challenge aboard Tetra’s pirate ship. If Link can finish the course, Niko awards him with the spoils bag.

It will take time to prepare before you are able to explore the vast interior of the main temple, but you were able to explore the submarine during the preparations. Unsurprisingly, the vessel had experienced significant mechanical failure which left it to drift to the bottom of the sea. Searching through the contents of the submarine, there are no human remains, so you are left to piece together the final story of the ship from the journals, letters, and baggage left by the long-dead crew.

This week’s item mini-stories were inspired directly by The Temple by H.P. Lovecraft. It sort of satirizes nazi self importance, but, knowing H.P. Lovecraft was super racist even for his time, I’m not 100% sure where the satire ends and the author’s voice begins. Read or listen at your own risk.

Be excellent to everyone.
