Wind Waker: A warm parka.

 A warm parka.

Shop Guru Statue: We have arrived at the final item in the decoration trading sequence. Link must trade for this statue by offering the Postman Statue and when Link returns to Zunari with this statue, the statue is of Zunari by the way, Zunari is so excited he offers Link a piece of heart. Like all the decorative items in this trading sequence, this can be placed on a Joyous pedestal on Windfall Island.

A tropical island is the last place you’d expect to see an arctic parka but the owner of this shop is dressed like they are expecting a blizzard any second. They are originally from the frigid south and could never get over how naked tropical clothes left them feeling. They couldn’t get over the tropical heat either, so their shop is magically cooled to keep them perfectly comfortable and their customers shivering and willing to take any deal just to get out of the cold.

We have completed the trading sequence. We already covered the magic armor that is gained optionally earlier in our tour of items from Wind Waker. Our next mini set of items are the oversized weapons that Link can take from enemies and only use for a short time. Look forward to big sticks and unwieldy swords.

Wind Waker: A friendly blue mailbox.

 A friendly blue mailbox.

Postman Statue: The only way to get this statue is to offer a Hero’s Flag in trade to one of the traveling merchants that deal in these decorative macguffins. With this statue, Link can trade for the final decoration in this seemingly endless quest. He can also just place a statue on a Joyous Pedestal on Windfall Island. Every time Link unlocked a new item in the sequence Zunari, Windfall Island Merchant, began selling the new decoration so Link could purchase duplicates. If Link fills all fourteen Joyous Pedestals with any of the trading sequence decorations, he will earn a piece of heart.  

What might seem like an innocuous Mail Drop box is made suspicious by the fact that it is just standing in the middle of nowhere. You are also pretty sure that you just saw a postal officer pick up mail, but you can’t tell where they came from or where they went. I guess now is a great time to send that letter home you’ve had written but hadn’t sent as you are lost in the wilderness.

Alternative ideas for this item card could be a figurine of wondrous power that is just a postal box that allows them to store or retrieve items from their post office box once per day.

Wind Waker: A gruesome pike.

 A gruesome pike.

Skull Tower Idol: This gruesome stack of bones is another idol in the decoration trading sequence. Link must trade another idol for this one and it can be traded for an idol or flag. Since this can also be placed on the Joyous pedestals around Windfall Island, this is the best idol to max out the island’s spookiness.

You stand before a fallen keep choked with sand from the encroaching desert. Atop the gate was carved the message, “Look into the faces of those who opposed me and despair for I am eternal.” Amidst the decay, a single pike remained piercing a bleached white skull that could have been a vanquished enemy or a deposed tyrant.

This was my inexpertly handled homage to Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Be excellent to everyone.
