little blog about the depths
I survived that workweek. Somehow. 😮💨 & finally got a day off.
I was thinking of doing a little good news, art therapy thing today, work on that Hero of Bombs series, but first! In honor of Ingo exploring the Depths with Link, I’m very proud to share the lore accurate (for HoB), completed map of the Depths! \878/
As I’ve shared in that recent string of comics, the Depths is pitch black & the map is empty until you activate the Light Roots. This is the very first time I went & found each one! There’s a lot of danger down there - all that purple you see are Gloom that can “break” your hearts until you have Sunny foods, reach a Light Root, or return to the surface to recover. Also Gloom monsters, giant Froxes, etc. So I usually never bother exploring down there very much (scaryyyyy >u<).
It’s very fascinating - all rivers & bodies of water on the Surface are giant cliff faces in the Depths. I also felt it was a reference to the very first Legend of Zelda, where there’s an Underworld you have to explore, & eventually defeat Ganon. Also it’s funny how all the Light Roots are under shrines on the Surface, & have a name that’s the opposite of the shrine (Sinonoyk Light Root = Kyononis shrine).
Okay. That’s it. XD Now have some pretty pictures of some of the main places of interest during Ingo’s Fifth Sage quest 💣
