My 3Speaking Today
Hey, what's up, players! I am truly very pleased to welcome you to this fourteenth installment of my Zelda: A Link to the Past series here on my gaming channel on 3Speak and in the community belonging to Snapie. Players, today during a rainy day and without being able to go out much, I have decided to enjoy a good while of this wonderful RPG classic that I have lately been able to share with you here through the already fourteen gameplays uploaded to the platform, and it has been a lovely experience for me because, as I have mentioned before, this is a video game that you can talk about with almost anyone due to the fact that it turns out to be one of those titles that in addition to being historical, also happens to be, how shall I put it... 'mainstream' : ) . Today for example, earlier I was talking with someone who, unlike me, is very much into the latest generation of video games with an online focus. He was telling me about how he very much enjoys one of the latest entries in the Zelda saga, that being 'Tears of the Kingdom' for the portable Nintendo Switch console, and he was explaining to me how in this new generation installment so many features that were first presented in A Link to the Past are expanded upon, such as all the great interaction that now exists with the open world, which according to my friend is now titanic due to the incredible capabilities of this latest generation Nintendo console.
After the elderly wizard Aginah had indicated to us where to go and look for the Book of Mudora in order to be able to understand the ancient language of the Hylian people, we set out to head to Kakariko Village in search of the much needed book to be able to progress in our adventure. On the way to Kakariko we came across a great deal of opposition from Link's enemies, who as always make it difficult for us to move from point A to point B across the lands of Hyrule. It is important to note that it is always possible to bypass a large number of enemies along the way, but the truth is that it is not advisable to abuse this, since by eliminating enemies we manage to farm very valuable resources for our hero, such as for example the arrows we obtain from the Blue Soldiers, just to cite one example. Not too far from the village of Kakariko we came across a professional swindler in a cabin, who makes available to us three chests in which he offers to open one for a price of 20 rupees. It turns out however that inside those chests there is only one rupee, so we actually ended up with a loss of 19 rupees, ha ha! Laughing so as not to cry : (
And we even took part in a race, I mention it because after being robbed we were able, in my opinion, to recover from the financial loss due to the fact that in another cabin also close to Kakariko Village, we came across a girl who throws at us the challenge of completing a sort of circuit made of grass and wood in a time of 15 seconds! No more, no less (minute 05:10), so we accepted said challenge and after a few attempts the circuit was completed in just 10 seconds, and thus we received another heart piece as a reward. In this way I am only missing one small piece to complete said heart. Finally, just as we mentioned in the title of the video, we obtained the Book of Mudora after solving a small puzzle in the Kakariko Village library, thanks to the use of the Dash attack to push the bookshelf and knock the book down, as can be observed starting from minute 07:02 : ) . Well, and with that I bid you farewell for today, but not without first thanking you for your time and for your support of this my humble retrogaming channel on 3Speak 🙌
