Really enjoyed exploring the Construct Factory. Given Mineru’s theme, it felt really fitting that you are tasked with assembling her “body” by collection five pieces in mini puzzle rooms.

After a really fun boss battle with the Seized Construct, I finally was able to retrieve Mineru’s stone. Getting these stones is always accompanied by a cutscene with some of my favorites themes as the soundtrack. The developers made a slightly different variation for each sage, and Mineru was no different.

Mineru also grants Link with the ability to control his own “construct”. You can Ultrahand items to its arms and back, giving the gameplay yet another turn. It’s actually pretty fun, albeit a bit slow, to control this. Link sits on top and you still have the ability to use your bow to shoot arrows.

The quest to find Mineru continues. Exploring Thunderhead Isles is a blast and I like the new puzzle elements the game introduces you to.

I noticed the soundtrack changing from the generic Sky theme, to a more unique track. I haven’t heard it before so it must be specific to this area/quest/character.

Completed the fourth temple with Riju at my side. Especially liked this one. The fight with the Queen Gibdo was a bit annoying due to the sand but, after I got the strategy down, it went pretty smooth.

The part where Riju gives your her powers was especially touching, with the music in the background.
