Date played: June 13th
Platform: Wii
Session fun rating: 8/10
Armed with my new fire-resistant earrings, I explored deeper towards Eldin Volcano. Obviously, there's a lot of fire and lava throughout, including some doorways that are blocked by flames spouting from the ground. I had to fill a bottle with water to pour it in the mouth of some frog statues to progress forward. Then, a much larger frog statue stood between Link and the next dungeon, so I had to find something much bigger to carry much more water.
Following Fi's advice, I went back to see the Water Dragon at Lake Floria. The dragon lent me it's water basin, which my friendly little flying robot picked up. I headed back to the volcano and had to escort the robot up the mountain. The area was littered with new, more powerful enemies and I couldn't let any of them get close to the robot. I used my bow a lot to make very long range shots.
Once we made it back to the top of the volcano, the robot dropped the water on the large frog statue and opened the path to the next dungeon, the Fire Sanctuary. I played a large portion of it, though I still have a good chunk of it to complete. This place is filled with dangerous lava pits...
Eventually, after many puzzles and tricky platforms, I found some of the burrowing mole people looking for treasure. I rescued one of them from the flames and was rewarded with upgraded digging mitts, which now allow Link to burrow underground in certain spots. This turns the game's view into a cool, top-down perspective as Link crawls through the tunnels, discovering new paths, turning on switches and collecting rupees.
