The Minish Cap: A dandelion gone to seed

 A dandelion gone to seed

Green Kinstone:  Green Kinstones are the base model for Kinstone fusion. Combing one of Link’s pieces with a person’s piece from around Hyrule usually unlocks a minor treasure or a new opportunity for adventure, often in the form of a rarer Kinstone piece for more fusing. Link can find these Kinstone pieces while by cutting grass. Slaying enemies, digging holes, and anywhere else he’d normally find a rupee or a heart.

Find a flower, gone to seed

Make a wish and fate may heed

Intention’s power, vision’s clear

So many fish and beggars cheer

----------

I often say, “if wishes were fishes…” assuming people know the phrase, “If wishes were fishes, we’d all swim in riches. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.” Many don’t, but now you do.

Go find a dandelion and make a wish, you never know if it may came true.

Wind Waker: A rare black lotus.

A rare black lotus.

Exotic Flower: Link must trade a sea flower for this exotic flower. The exotic flower can be traded for a pinwheel or a sickle flag depending on which merchant Link offers this flower to. In addition to trading the flowers, Link can place these flowers on joyous pedestals around Windfall Island.

Mana, the energy that fuels magic, is around us always. This rare black-petaled lotus concentrates mana so that anyone can have enough power to conjure a significant spell just by picking a flower. There are no limits on what one can do with this power making these flowers extremely valuable.

----------

I don’t play Magic: The Gathering anymore but I’ve always loved everything fantasy so the serious worldbuilding and art talent that went, and maybe still goes, into creating those cool little cardboard rectangles really sparks my imagination. I generally keep up with what is going on with Magic and maybe someday I’ll go out there and buy another booster or dust off my beat-up card binder. Until then, get inspiration wherever you can.

Be excellent to everyone.

Wind Waker: A carnivorous pitcher plant.

Sea Flower: Link trades up from a mundane town flower to this sea flower with either the merchants of Bomb Island or Mother and Child Island. With the sea flower in his pouch, Link can trade it for an exotic Flower to the merchant of the Greatfiah Isle. Link can also place sea flowers on the joyous pedestals of Windfall Island.

Mundane pitcher plants use fragrant nectars to lure bugs inside the bell of the flower which is lined with slippery secretions that trap their prey in a pool of digestive acid at the bottom of the bell to be dissolved and absorbed by the plant. Giant pitcher plants are very similar except that are able to lure larger animals such as birds, rats, and monkeys. Maneater pitcher plants are massive plants that mimic human screams to lure others into their acid-filled bells while searching for wounded friends.

----------

If you were walking in the jungle and heard an unfamiliar scream, would you run and try to help?

Carnivorous plants fact: Venus fly traps, with all their exotic mystique, are only native to the Carolinas on the east coast of the United States. Not necessarily a place famed for its exotic mystique.

Wind Waker: An enchanted rose.

 An enchanted rose.

Town Flower: Zunari, Windfall Island merchant, will ask Link to take a local flower and trade it for something more interesting with the other merchants of the Great Sea. The town flower can be traded to one of a few merchants for a more interesting sea flower. With this first exchange, Link has begun the trading quest for Wind Waker. Link can also place town flowers on the Joyous Pedestals waiting for decoration around Windfall Island.

The lord of this land once denied the right of hospitality to a wandering woman who came to his door during a terrible storm. This woman was secretly a great enchantress traveling in disguise and in her rage at being denied hospitality she cursed the lord, his lands, and all who dwelt upon them with strange and terrible forms. As all curses must have a flaw, this curse can be broken if the lord, in his hideous form, could find true love before the wilting of the last petal of the last rose in all his lands.

----------

It’s Beauty and the Beast. I’m not trying to be coy or subtle, This is the Beast’s flower that is slowly wilting in a tall tower of his castle. You could use this straight and have a lord cursed with a monstrous form, but I chose to give it to my players as a consumable baleful polymorph item to be used at the least opportune time.

Be excellent to everyone.
