Wind Waker: A boarding axe

A boarding axe

Master Sword - Restored: Last week we discussed how Link finds the Master Sword hidden in a stasis locked Hyrule Castle. The blade has lost its keen edge and its ability to repel evil by the time Link finds it. To restore the fine edge of the blade, Link must help a new sage of the earth fulfill their destiny and reconnect a thread of divine power severed by Ganon’s vile deeds. When the new Earth Sage assumes their role, they are able to restore the master sword’s edge with the favor of the goddesses.

Many retired sailors hang a commemorative sword or hard won banner above their mantle as a commemoration of the fortune they enjoyed to live long enough to retire. One retired mercenary has a single well used boarding axe hanging above their mantle as a trophy of their time spent as the commander of the boarding party. They made enough money in the more than fifty sorties they led into enemy ships to buy a small Oceanside cottage to live out the rest of their retirement.

Fall is back which means my lovely open summer schedule has been dashed to pieces and I’m busy with a million different things and I’m very out of practice juggling tasks.

I’m so spread out that I forgot today was 9/11. The terror attacks on 9/11 changed my life forever in ways my young mind couldn’t have expected. The racist and hyper nationalist knee jerk reactions the U.S.A. engaged in after 9/11 made the world worse for most everyone.

Be excellent to everyone.
