The Legend Of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom - Playthrough Part 30

One of the Zelda sightings quests saw the return of the flower shrine woman - Magda. She was apparently tasked by Zelda to raise a garden. Then I discovered a giant horse and managed to tame him, but he doesn't have a dash, so he isn't particularly useful. He was a requirement for a shrine quest by a person who wanted to see him. Then Link had 2 endurance contests with some weirdo in the Gerudo region. You basically have to survive the night and the day exposed to the elements without any equipment. The way to deal with this is to have food raising your cold and heat resistance. Then I defeated the pirate in the Akkala Sea for a different quest. Then I was in luck since I finally managed to get Naydra's Claw for the Goddess Statue, but the reward was frankly pathetic - just a single sapphire. She did inform me that there are 2 more statues like her, connected to the Mother Goddess statue, so maybe once all 3 are completed you'll get something nice. Finally back to the main quest, Purah spotted Zelda in Hyrule Castle again, so I Link was sent there to investigate. Each time you get close to her, she disappears and monsters attack you. The monsters here are pretty tough, but they do drop some great equipment. I also discovered that the Zelda dragon shards give a weapon healing properties when fused. Then to the surprise of no one the Zelda you've been seeing all over the place has been a puppet of Ganon. She transforms into 5 Phantom Ganons and you have to face them in a boss battle. They are not too bad now that you know how to fight them and you have the sage shadows at your side. Plus each one drops Ganon's powerful weapons and dies much quicker than a regular Phantom Ganon you find in the wild. When you defeat them, Ganon unleashes that cheap attack from the beginning of the game, but this time around the sages come in and protect you. He then disappears and our heroes decide to regroup.
