Throughout my eternal adventure through The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom I have wanted to visit key locations in Hyrule. Hatelia and Kakariko were places I needed to return to, because he had very good memories of what happened in such peaceful villages. However, I am very fond of Arkadia, the small town located in the Akkala region.
To get to the region I skirted the entire map in an improvised motor boat with two planks; enough to come across an area that hasn’t changed much. And life in Arkadia is peaceful, calm and is only altered by the appearance of zonnan gadgets that keep falling from the sky.
Of course, before reaching Karid’s meeting I came across a building esplanade where I meet Karanthe, a Construction employee Karid which explains to me that I can create my own house at that point using simple modules. The problem is that the mustached owner is absorbed in other tasks, so he doesn’t have time to make money by charging me a fortune to offer me a roof under which to take refuge.
Upon arriving in Arkadia I find out what is happening: Karid and Kaenne have had a beautiful daughter who has already grown up, although with the peculiar circumstance that the women of the Gerudo tribe will take her to raise her in their citadel. A custom perhaps too cruel, but I am not the one to judge the traditions of each society.
Kariele is a girl who is not afraid to leave home, but Karid is afraid of separating from her young girl, so she makes the smart decision to build a balloon so that she can reach the desert without problems. The baby wants to meet her father in the Construction Zone, which must be reached using a modern monorail and this is where I ran into the creepiest guy in all of Hyrule.
Hagg is unpresentable, a miser and a guy whose greed knows no limits. For some reason that he cannot understand, he tries to charge 20 rupees to anyone who uses the transport and not only that, but he seeks to benefit in every possible way. For example, he has a green rock that belongs to a nearby shrine and the idiot doesn’t intend to charge me 100 rupees to keep it. Thank goodness the woman came to tidy up and leave it at 50, but that’s not the most inadmissible thing.
The worst is Kariele is not allowed to get off the monorail; to a girl, to a person to whom you have to smile and let her continue because if it weren’t for her father you would have to live in a tree. After this gesture of ingratitude that she resolved by blocking his vision with a board, I finally get Karid to finish her balloon by giving him a good handful of solirios. The views returning to Arkadia are beautiful and the best thing is that the businessman manages to learn that he must trust his daughter. I will see her again as soon as she sets foot on sandy lands, but it’s time to roll up my sleeves.
And I can finally build my dream house, since Hatelia’s has been a bit out of the picture. Kaenne tells me that he will give me a juicy discount to leave me the plot for 1,500 rupees, which I willingly pay since I have 5,700 of them. This entry to the house gives me the right to two modules that I can place with the Ultramano and they are the most basic in the entire universe. Just a simple entrance and a bedroom open to the outside, so I have to find a solution.
The limit of modules to place is 15, since I imagine that from 16 onwards the Nintendo Switch will begin to break reality with a wormhole. Without thinking too much about the consequences for my economy, I decide to spend on everything I need
In turn, the second floor is accessed from the outside and I have placed a nice garden and the bedroom on the roof. Everything is very cute and very pretty, although it is a bit cumbersome to handle objects of such a large size in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Furthermore, it is a shame that the orientation of certain modules is always the same, along with the fact that their structure is not configurable.
In any case, I now have a place to drop dead, although I am left with barely 700 rupees after placing a total of nine modules. I guess I’ll have to go back to the gerudo who pays a fortune for minerals, but the expense was worth it, although one of my neighbors will be the idiot Hagg. I just need to be able to rent my house, although something tells me that Nintendo is not going to include that function in a patch.
