I already knew that BotW locks meeting Robbie behind meeting Purah first, but now I've found that Purah acknowledging your identity is locked behind talking to Impa first. Robbie makes more sense: he's simply not there if you visit his lab pre-Purah, which you can imagine means he and Jerrin are out (getting more ancient tech parts, perhaps, or getting food supplies, etc), but Symin and Purah standing around saying "oh you'll need Impa's permission to upgrade your Sheikah slate" (possession of which means you HAVE to be Link/his descendant, as Kass, Kaneli, Riju and Kohga know so far in this run) or "I hope your visit here is a good memory on your epic adventure" is baffling. Purah might be trolling, except that I know from the standard scenario she's very glad to see Link after her little prank re: who's the director (as you'd expect, given both the larger stakes and her personal role in his survival), and Symin is entirely serious. a rare L on the part of BotW's usually quite flexible any-sequence-you-like style, because it's so out of character for Purah and Symin. just have them say you really ought to go to Impa but we're glad you're here.

not to be too antagonistic about the world around me existing, and I did choose to live on a main road through a town, knowing that's not a silent dwelling place, but the bar five doors down and over the road is playing its music so loudly (and has been ALL AFTERNOON) that even in a room with no open windows I'm getting a headache from how loud it is. I suppose the consolation is that everyone in the bar is not only getting sunstroke (inexplicable lack of umbrellas/etc on a southwest-facing patio during a heatwave) but permanent hearing loss.
