The Minish Cap: The Black Cauldron

 The Black Cauldron


Water Element: The third element Link recovers is found in the Minish-sized Temple of Droplets. Link must defeat the relatively titanic Big Octorok, probably a regular-sized Octorok, to win this element. Link infuses this third element into the White Sword to improve the White Sword’s abilities, most importantly allowing Link to split into three copies of himself.

The nascent Wight King had been secretly raiding graveyards and battlefields to gather enough bodies to create a skeletal horde. Each body must be boiled in the evil cauldron for a night and a day before it rises in undeath as Cauldron Born, soullessly obeying the will of the cauldron’s master. After years of quietly defaming the land’s dead, the Wight King has announced themself to the world at the head of a vast skeletal army poised to conquer and pillage.

The Chronicles of Prydain were not on my radar as a kid at all. I was actually a fairly reluctant reader as a kid, having issues with focus and restlessness. The series did inspire one of my favorite movies as a kid, the impeccably strange The Black Cauldron, which inspired today’s drawings. I recently read through the whole Prydain series as an adult and enjoyed it. I look forward to reading it out loud to my little one when they are a bit older.

I am still winding down from Drewly 2025 this year. I’ve got two more Drewly related posts I want to get out into the world before I slow back down to about one post a week sharing my item cards projects.


Thank you for your support.

Be excellent to everyone.
