Drewly 2026: Alethiometer Reading: Celestial

 Alethiometer Reading: Celestial

Alethiometer Reading - Celestial: After asking the golden compass a question, this response could mean celestial, righteous, obedient, stellar, ascend, redeem, accolade, kindness, or even more obscure meanings. One must spend time attuning to the alethiometer to understand which of these meanings is part of your answer.

----------

I made a system agnostic mini supplement that adds the Golden Compass to your game. You can find it here.

The Minish Cap: A little clock with a big personality

 A little clock with a big personality

Compass: Link can find a compass in each dungeon in The Minish Cap. Like most Zelda games, the compass shows where treasure and bosses are located within the dungeon where the compass was found. Finding the compass is usually the reward for solving a puzzle or succeeding in a difficult combat encounter.

The story goes that this clock is from the estate of a noble who died while under a witch’s curse. Apparently, the noble was cursed with a beastly form, but the servants were all transformed into furniture and housewares, ever bound to the fate of their master. This clock is probably just a regular clock, but it does seem to linger on 3:41 and 8:18 when the hands seem to make a mustache on the clock’s face.

----------

The first time shows a mustache, why do you think I picked the second time I did?

As I write this I am almost done with the line art for the items from Twilight Princess. That set of drawings has taken me more than two years and I am so close to being done I can actually sense progress. I’ll still have to color all the drawings, but we are almost through and that is an amazing feeling.

The Minish Cap: The White Rabbit’s Pocket Watch

 The White Rabbit’s Pocket Watch

Carlov Medal: This medal signifies Link’s commitment to collecting the many figurines of The Minish Cap. If Link can gather enough mysterious shells to buy all 136 figurines, he is given this medal by the creator of the figurines. Other than showing an unwavering commitment to collecting, the medal gives Link access to a house with a piece of heart and a phonograph. 

Pocket watches are supposed to keep you from being late, but the white rabbit that owns this watch only ever seems to check it once he is already running behind. The rabbit might be a bit spacey or perhaps they are too ambitious in their scheduling, but what if the watch itself is made to trick the rabbit into thinking they are always late. Wonderland is a confusing and often menacing place, so it would surprise only the most naive to find that the White Rabbit’s pocket watch was given as a prank.

Not an artist: Four items from Oracle of Seasons used to figure out what should be done.

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.

I'm not an artist: Six items from Oracle of Ages you can find during the first act of the apocalypse.

Ringbox L-2: After getting the smallest ringbox, Link can buy this larger ringbox in the Lynna City Shop for a whopping 300 rupees. The medium-sized ring box can hold up to three different magical rings, but Link can still only equip one of them at any given time. 

In the lead up to any apocalypse in the United States of America, people will hoard unnecessary things. This is especially true of guns. Gun safes around the country will become overstuffed with firearms and ammunition. This will be especially helpful for the wasteland survivors that will eventually break into the safes as they fight to survive in the post-apocalyptic wreckage of the world.

I'm not an artist: Five(ish) more items from The Legend of Zelda

Here are six more drawings inspired by items appearing in the 1984 The Legend of Zelda. I included six because the two hourglasses are effectively palette swapped.

 

Clock: These two hourglasses could be twin magical items that each bestow one important power over the flow of time.
