Off I went to the thunderhead, where I looked for Levias. And looked. And looked some more. I didn’t see him anywhere. But then I remembered the instructor told me something about a guy at Pumpkin Landing who makes pumpkin soup for Levias. So I headed there.
The guy there whipped up a huge container of pumpkin soup to take to Levias. Smurf-Fi called in the robot to carry it and I again headed back to the thunderhead. I was told to drop it off on the island with a rainbow above it, so I did. And then, Levias appeared.
I hopped on my bird and took out some obvious targets. I eventually figured out I then had to land on Levias, where I fought the parasite that was inside him and controlling him.
After I was done, Levias returned to being his usual self. He told me that to find the Triforce, I had to collect each piece of the Song of the Hero. Each of the three dragons had a piece, so I have to revisit them all to get them. Wow, this game has a whole lot of backtracking. Then, I’ll have to return to Levias, who will combine them with the part he knows to reveal the Triforce.
This Song of the Hero quest is where a known glitch can mess up your game save so that you can’t complete the game. Although Nintendo has since issued a patch that fixes the problem, I would rather avoid it. And the easiest way to avoid it is to save the desert portion for last. So I decided to go to Faron Woods first to visit the water dragon at Lake Floria. But I was unable to land anywhere in Faron Woods except for near the Sealed Grounds. And when I did, guess who got free again?
Unbelievable. I had to fight “The Imprisoned” beast for a third time (and second in two days). This is getting ridiculous. He was harder this time, because every time he fell, I couldn’t get around his body to get to his head. Not until he got nearly up the crater did he fall in such a way that I could get to his head. He then started flying! I had to use Groose’s cannon to shoot him down. For the final blow, Groose had to shoot me on top of his body to drive the spike in. I sealed him away yet again.
I went back in the temple. The old woman said she had to close the gates to the woods to keep the land from flooding for some reason. She didn’t know how I could get in…but then Groose came up with the idea of shooting me over the gate into the woods, using his Groosenator. So that is where I’ll pick up next time. I saved my game and quit for the night.
