  • Definitely a Lurelinian. maybe with the Champion ability to create currents at will - similar to Revali’s ability, just horizontal instead of vertical. As for the Champion weapon, I’m not sure. My first instict was a spear or harpoon, but Mipha already has that. Out of the availiable weapon “types” we already have everything (Urbosa = 1H and shield, Daruk = 2H, Revali = bow, Mipha = spear) so there seems to be nothing left at first glance … not without inventing a new weapon type at least.

    However … I think something like the Sea-Breeze Boomerang (which can only be obtained from amiibo) would have been cool. Or maybe Urbosa originally had just the Scimitar of the Seven without the Daybreaker, and the shield was going to be the Lurelinian Champion’s unique “weapon”. Maybe even with the ability to surf on water in the same manner Sand Seals drag Link across sand. That way each Champion would also have had ONE unique piece of equipment, instead of Urbosa randomly having two.

    During development, they also had ideas for whips and grappling hooks, but neither one really fits the sea-themed setting IMHO. A Kokiri & Sheikah Champion were also considered once but got scrapped, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a possible Lurelinian Champion simply got the same treatment.








  • Oh you’d be surprised … by the way, the same goes for literally everything at the bakery counter. Heard a customer complain once that she won’t ever buy pretzels in the store again because they weren’t actually freshly made, the employees just tossed prepackaged frozen pretzels ino the oven yadda yadda … uhhhm lady, do you really think they’re kneading dough behind the scenes?! Never wondered why your croissants, bread rolls and the like always have the same shape, size and weight? It’s almost as if they were made in a factory or something …

    …yet these, too, are treated like first choice over the frozen bread rolls you can bake at home, because “a real baker made them” …


  • Supermarket employee here. We have a “fresh” fish counter selling stuff like whole mackerels and raw salmon fillets and the like.

    Each and every one of these has been frozen at least once - this is a mandatory health hazard prevention thing (to kill off parasites etc) and also basically the only food-safe way to transport them in great quantities over long distances without them going bad. They get delivered frozen solid, get thawed behind the scenes and then put on display / on ice for customers to buy. And then they’re lying there all day long until someone happens to buy some … people still treat the pre-packaged fish from the frozen foods aisle as a second choice, even tho those have NOT been lying around half-thawed in the open air for 10 hours straight.

    Long story short, “fresh” fish from the counter is less fresh than the frozen stuff, despite customers commonly believing it to be the other way around.
