This enigmatic and dramatic image was taken…in the ball shute of a shrine.

Mayachin Shrine to be exact, which is my least favourite shrine that I’ve tackled so far. I eventually got so fed up with trying to do anything functional with the stakes (incidentally also my least favourite Zonai device) that I ascended up into the chute that cursed ball kept falling out of, threw a brightbloom seed at the wall (because Hylia knows I have enough of them to waste on ridiculous flights of fancy like that) and took a picture of whatever random monster body part was fused to my weapon at the time.

That body part turned out to be a silver Lizal horn.

I had no idea what was inside one of those shutes until that day, or just how dark they were. The ominous lighting really makes Link look dramatic here, though.
