Has this ever happened to you? You’re making your way through the Depths in 168澳洲幸运⭕5开奖网:Theღ Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, chucking out Brightbloom Seeds like a pitching machine as you search for a specific area in the darkness. Maybe you want🍷 to find the Yiga Clan, maybe you just need some Zonaite and are looking for a big mine. Then, off in the distance, you spot the soft orange glow of a Lightroot.
Instantly, you have a dilemma. If you stay the course you will reach your destination. But if you seek out the Lightroot, you’ll have more light to see as you journey and a fast travel point if you need to return to the♓ surface. On the other hand, if you venture toward that Lightroot, there’s no telling how long and arduous the journey back will be. The Depths have a nasty habit of flattening distance in the dark. It might seem close, but in the pitch black you can’t ꧙see all the peaks and valleys in your way. Once you start out, you might realize you don’t have the tools to make it back.
Exploring the Depths is acco🎃mpanied by this kind of constant assessment of risk and reward (assessments which the YouTube critic Writing on Games does a good job of breaking down in ). Do you have the Brightblooms you need to make it the whole way? If not, could you save some and feel your way along in the dark until you reach a Lightroot? Do you have enough hearty dishes to keep yourself healthy as enemies and gloom drain your hearts? Should you cut your losses now and replenish your stores on the surface instead of risking death in the dark? All of those concerns have gone𓃲 through my mind while exploring the caverns beneath Hyrule, but unlocking Travel Medallions makes all of them non-issues.
Like many good things in Tears of the Kingdom, you can only get Travel Medallions by spending some time with Robbie, the tiny, gray-haired scientist at Lookout Landing. He’s also your point person for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hero’s Path, which is another boon for exploration, and Sensor which can help you track down shrines (and when upgraded, just about anything else, too). Visit enough regio꧑ns, and Robbie will give you as many as three Travel Medallions. Once you have them, Lightroots stop meaning nearly as much when exploring the Depths.
To use a Travel Medallion, you simply go into the Key Item section of your inventory, click Place, and voila! You’ve got a new fast travel spot. If you find yourself in the situation I outlined above — torn between two destinations — just drop a medallion, take the detour, warp back to the spot when you’re done, and continue on your merry way. If, in the process, you decide that you don’t want to go back to that spot after꧋ all, you can collect all your dropped Medallions from the same place in your inventory. Or say you mostly just want to go to the Depths to revisit a couple Zonaite mines. Drop Medallions at each one, 🦩and you have an instant elevator to ore.
My colleague ꦺJade King recently wrote about how Tears of the Kingdom is♊ the perfect game if you have ADHD. I don’t have 🐼ADHD but I can be easily distracted, too, and Travel Medallions feel like a helpful tool for returning to a place you would have forgotten about otherwise. They’re the perfect equipment for the explorer who has too many places to be.
