[But I already did the desert palace.]

So hot . . . [He's dying. He's a delicate flower who shouldn't be subjected to this bullshit.] Is this what a real desert feels like?

[After fantastical mindscapes, a boat seems . . . lacking. It doesn't even have the decency to be aesthetically interesting and there aren't even any - oh. Nevermind. That sure is a . . . it doesn't look like a Shadow, but it's a monster all the same. No one's here to give him orders so.]

[It's probably not a great idea to use ice skills on a monster that came out of the ocean? But that's what's happening here. Look at all that nothing.]
