I think they'd be friends.

I have a question for my fellow Zelda fans. From the Zelda Notes, we find out that Master Kohga can see the sacred dragons. We've heard in previous lore that only pure-hearted people can see these guardians, which raises some BIG questions about our banana munching friend.

In TOTK, it's very transparent that he's happy to see Link; he even says exactly where he's going after each fight, and then he waits for Link to show up even when the mines are tapped out. It just feels like kayfabe, like his heart's not really in the Yiga mission and he just wants an excuse to hang out with Link.

So here's what I want to hear everyone's thoughts on:

This is the same way I feel when I remember that I played the original Legend of Zelda when it launched on the NES, followed by the realization that the franchise turns 40 next year.

Time to break out the Centrum Silver, I guess.

For the record, I am absolutely in the "Link thought he'd get an eyeful and wound up getting an earful instead" camp.

SOS and CQD are standard all-hands distress calls, "Save our souls/ship" and "Seeking you, distress" respectively.

I feel that "IAMLOSINGMYMIND" does not require much in the way of explanation.

So um... There is Morse code in the wacky watch website now, erm...

Hopefully I did it right since it translates to this

What does this mean though?

I started a new game of Borderlands 2 with Fal over the weekend. We haven’t gotten very far into it yet and I’m frankly quite terrible at tanking, but these two arseholes are charming enough to make up for any difficulties!

Awwww, I knew this tsundere sonofabitch missed Link. He tried to hide it, but he always told Link exactly where he was going and then waited for him to catch up.

Wanna know what I think? I think that Hylia is watching over Kohga. Seriously, this guy was saved from his fall into the depths by bouncing off a random Zonai balloon, ate a toxic mushroom and a flower that made him hallucinate that bokoblins were his Yiga buddies, fired a rocket up his own arse, nearly blew himself up with a time bomb...

... And yet, not only is he still alive but he miraculously found and understood Mineru's notebook and used the devices within it to keep him alive until his clan found him.

I was surprised at the emphasis the notes place on Kohga's loneliness during his journey in the depths. I don't feel like he even really hates Link and Zelda, he just inherited his title and he's going through the motions of hatred because he doesn't know an alternative.

I think maybe the biggest hint of all is that he can see Dinraal. According to the lore, only people of pure heart can see the dragons. Unless the Yiga have kept some innate ability from their time as Sheikah, this would imply that Kohga isn't evil or even neutral - he's good. Maybe Hylia can sense that, and is trying to protect him because she can see in him a chance for the Yiga and the Blood of the Goddess to reconcile.

Anyway ... Glory to Master Kohga.

I'm slightly more concerned that she did the same with a slab of raw meat. I'm not surprised, though. This woman tried to get Link to eat a live frog, and if he hadn't been there she probably would have eaten it herself. For science.

Who would've thought that Princess Zelda would eat any food that she dropped on the ground?

Based on this voice note:

Did you know that it takes approx. 5 seconds - in Switch 1 - for an apple to be baked to the ground (either dropped in Eldin region or thrown to a fire)?
