A few days in the past I used to be experiencing the enjoyment of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, getting misplaced from the principle goals and quests of the sport, and exploring the world of Hyrule at random, as per normal. I used to be passing by Riverside Secure once I observed the animal pens within the background and took a fast lookup shut. It was right here once I observed there have been a few eggs within the Rooster pen, so I jumped the fence and grabbed them for my stock.
After which, proper as I used to be about to go away, a sure immediate caught my eye. I may decide up a Rooster. I instantly acted on this, hoping that I’d get at greatest an excellent chuckle, and at worst some delicate amusement as I proceed to desert the principle storyline to avoid wasting Hyrule in favor of taking part in with the animals.
Instantly the Rooster started clucking and frantically flapping its wings whereas I held it over my head a lot that I believed I would unlock a secret flying system and take to the skies. Naturally, I took this chance to actually change into one with the Rooster, impersonating the headless variant of the species as I ran circles across the poor buddies of the flapping menace for an excellent thirty seconds or so. Truthfully, I’m stunned that the Rooster had any plumage left in any respect after the feathery, tornado-like mess it created as a result of my antics.
As soon as I made a decision that the poor Rooster had gone by way of sufficient trauma for in the future, it was time to place it again down and half methods. Or not less than it will have been, if I didn’t discover the ‘throw’ immediate, permitting me to hurl the Rooster by way of the air, very like Hyperlink’s means to fling rocks and weapons, amongst different issues. Staring out into the calm, flowing river in entrance of me, a single intrusive thought crossed my thoughts; I needed to see it float, now.
I’d seen all kinds of geese and varied different birds simply chilling on the water throughout my time roaming Hyrule, and part of me was simply dying to see the Rooster change into considered one of these specimens, hanging out and (pun most positively meant) going with the movement. Sadly, once I threw this Rooster in for a dip, it vanished utterly with a splash, disappearing for good.
I believed this should have been some kind of unfortunate bug or error, so I picked up one other unlucky Rooster check topic and repeated the throw. Similar to the earlier sufferer, this Rooster was all of a sudden a goner too, by no means resurfacing like I had so desperately hoped.
Nevertheless, now I used to be curious. Was this some kind of weird bug, or can Chickens simply not float on water on the planet of Hyrule? For no cause aside from my bewilderment, I went straight to testing this out with the remainder of the Chickens within the pen, throwing them into varied places of the river. A lot to my disappointment, the Chickens all vanished, even after they landed within the shallow water of a depth lower than Hyperlink’s waist.
Once I circled to take a look at the empty Rooster pen, a considerably disturbing query washed over me, and I stood there in horror. Had I simply single-handedly drowned a major quantity of Chickens within the river? Of all issues on this sport, I had not anticipated to change into a mass assassin of Chickens, and now I needed to dwell by way of the remainder of my journey with this at the back of my thoughts, haunting me each time I stumbled throughout one other duck or pond chook.
And in addition to, the place the hell did these Chickens even vanish to? Did they enter an alternate universe? Are they caught exploring the backrooms proper now? Or are they patiently adapting and evolving to underwater life, biding their time till I in the future return, to allow them to strike again in a frenzy? In any case, there’s the unstated rule in Zelda Video games; you don’t mess with the Chickens… and should you do, they are going to mess with you.
This was each an amusing waste of my playtime and a invaluable studying expertise that has considerably pushed me again into following the story of the sport. In any case, I don’t know if I need to maintain exploring. A part of me is terrified I’m going to be minding my very own enterprise in the future, after which simply hear clucking within the distance, getting louder and louder as they shut in on me. Or worse, perhaps I’m going to witness one thing else equally horrifying, like goats in timber, or wolves that may fly. I don’t even know anymore, this sport is so filled with surprises.
