The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Play Journal Entries Stagger Lanayru79 11/14/2015 12:17 PM Drablands Diaries Decoded - Nintendoer and Stagger's Eggstravaganza! Scattered throughout Hytopia, the Tutor has left a record of journeys to each of the eight areas of the Drablands. There is a great Easter egg hunt entailed in the details of those pages, and Four Eyes wanted us to find them all! Here my friend and Zelda Nerd Gang leader Nintendoer and I will detail the nature and location of E Yeah! e 10 r 64 D Advertisement Share this Post 2 Share Embed Comment Straggler 11/14/2015 12:20 PM all 32 such objects. Each level contains one somewhere in its four stages, and in turn each area has one type of Easter egg that ties into the Legend of Zelda series. Never fear, those who don't want their own hunt spoiled! We will mark each egg with the spoiler tag. Now I won't delete any premature comments, but this will take a little time to complete in coordination, so please refrain from E Yeah! e 2 Straggler 11/14/2015 12:22 PM joining in this post until it is completed. Nintendoer doesn't have quite as much time to play as I do, and while we hunted many of these during Totem time together w/ other friends, others were independently located. He's wisely stored a screen of them all. I have not! So I'll be scrambling with Doppels to keep up ... A special tip of the Dapper Spinner cap goes out to ZNG members Benjamin and E Yeah! e 2 Straggler 11/14/2015 12:24 PM Sciz. Benjamin was on a mission from day one to find these all on his own, and documented it weeks ago. We chose not to peek. Our friend Sciz was instrumental in the discovery of the first two in the Dunes just a few days after TFH released. Without further ado, it's off to the Woodlands. Take it away 'doer! E Yeah♥ e 1 Nintendoer 11/14/2015 12:29 PM ·Spoilers I'll start off with the egg of the Deku Forest. The object to look for here is a green butterfly, which may be a reference to Skyward Sword's Goddess Butterflies, although I'm not entirely sure. They are always perched high in the level, and are usually very easy to spot. In this case, it is found in Stage 4, near the start. Pan the camera to the right to see it. E Yeah! e 0 D Stagger 11/14/2015 12:35 PM ·Spoilers I agree that SS is the most likely inspiration, although The Minish Cap had a scant few butterflies of import. In Buzz Blob Cave, during Stage 3's triple crystal switch activation, near the upper right platform the butterfly is visible behind a tangled root. I've used the d-pad to pan from here, which is a big tactic in discovering these, but it's not necessary if you approach more closely. E Yeah! e 0 D Nintendoer 11/14/2015 12:37 PM ·Spoilers The Moblin Base? In Stage 2, look above the right-most cracked wall. Come to think of it, Ocarina of Time has butterflies-who-would-be-fairies. Those weren't green, though. Neither were Goddess Butterflies. Minish Cap may be the intended reference, here. E Yeah! e 0 D Stagger 11/14/2015 12:43 PM ·Spoilers The butterflies are one of three egg types that are not easily attached to just one game, but that's another topic eh Nintenbroer? Luckily I have this one saved from our original discovery during the Fewer Heart Containers challenge on the Forest Temple. It's probably safer to gaze upon this duo, visible by panning in the lower left alcove of Margoma's arena, after dealing with Stage 4's boss. ;) E Yeah! e 0 D Stagger 11/14/2015 12:49 PM ·Spoilers Riverside's diary speaks of rocks that move, and while Tri Force Heroes don't get to see that, it's not too hard to spot an iconic pattern like the one here on Stage 1 of the Secret Fortress. It is found at the base of the falls in plain sight. Only one such Goron-esque stone appears in each level here! I guess this can't be attached to just one LoZ title either eh? My number above is quite low. E Yeah! e 0 D Nintendoer 11/14/2015 12:52 PM ·Spoilers In the Abyss of Agony, check out the far right side after climbing the cliff in Stage 2. It's hard to tell whether this is a Goron's back, or a turtle shell. It's cooler to think of it as a Goron, but it's possible this is referencing ALBW or ALttP, as well. E Yeah! e 0 D Stagger 11/14/2015 12:57 PM ·Spoilers I protest! These are Gorons! :p The Cove of Transition has one of the first very tricky ones to spot. It is found in Stage 3, beyond the flood wall towards the left. Normally a trio would focus on the task of lowering this dam to proceed further, which submerges the Easter egg and hides it from view. I find this a very clever one, requiring attention to detail. E Yeah! e 0 D Nintendoer 11/14/2015 1:00 PM ·Spoilers The Water Temple's shell/Goron is in plain sight in the hallway leading to the end of Stage 2. I'm coming, Stagger! Just needed to take this photo first... E Yeah♥ e 1 D Nintendoer 11/14/2015 1:05 PM ·Spoilers The Volcano offers a cool set of fossils. It's not immediately clear until the one found in Stage 4, but these are various bones of a Dodongo! This appears to be one of its front legs, found in the Blazing Trail's first stage, near the top-left (IIRC). The Goron Suit is likely required to see it. E Yeah! e 0 D Stagger 11/14/2015 1:09 PM ·Spoilers Boy is it ever a cool set of eggs! It actually makes up all of the visible skeletal structure of King Dodongo during his title screen in OoT! We could have presented that mysteriously, but why wait to gush? Here is another front leg in Stage 2 of the Hynox Mines. You don't have to view it from the speeding cart near the Triforce panels exit, but off to the right you see it embedded in the wall. E Yeah! e 0 D Nintendoer 11/14/2015 1:13 PM ·Spoilers Small correction to my previous comment. I said Stage 4, I meant level 4; the Fire Temple. Which Stagger will show right after this.. The Den of Flames shows what appears to be a tail, found in the third stage. The first swinging platform that needs a Gust Jar boost has a platform to the left, on which this egg can be seen. E Yeah! e 0 D Stagger 11/14/2015 1:24 PM ·Spoilers Aw yeah! It's a beautiful egg. All I had to do was solo the Fire Temple and Moldorm quickly, no big deal. :p Ah foresight, you abandoned me in preparing to craft this post. To view the Dodongo skull, after Moldorm is defeated in Stage 4 of the Fire Temple, a two-man totem should head up on the ledge near the Triforce panels exit. Pan up with the d-pad, and swap spots to get the full view. E Yeah♥ e 1 D Stagger 11/14/2015 1:30 PM ·Spoilers It was a much shorter trip to the initial seeing eye test in the Ice Cavern. Rather than the “distinguished bones” from Part 5, the disappearing oral history of Part 6 refers to a princess. Seen in Stage 1 of the Frozen Plateau by panning right from the Fire Glove area, it's a Zelda snow-woman! I feel these are visually based off the FS/MC iteration of the crucial character. E Yeah! e 0 D Nintendoer 11/14/2015 1:33 PM ·Spoilers Who made these Snowprincesses, and why? Could this be a pastime for The Lady...? Does she plan on striking Hyrule next? Will Zelda really care about whether or not she wears a black jumpsuit or a dress...? The Snowball Ravine's egg is in the fourth stage. Simply go as far north as possible, and pan the camera left. E Yeah! e 0 D Stagger 11/14/2015 1:38 PM ·Spoilers Ah, memories ... I think that was the first TFH egg I found after we bested that awesome big Freezard. Nice costume representation too! Tingle Tights might not make it in the Ice Cavern where they hail from. :p The Silver Shrine's gorgeously located Zelda sculpture is at the very end of Stage 2. Pan to the right amidst the icy trees. E Yeah! e 0 D Nintendoer 11/14/2015 1:42 PM ·Spoilers Stagger accidentally showed this one to me. No big deal, I would have found it anyway. =P I've grown very familiar with the Ice Temple after our trials today, haha. In the third stage, throw a player up to the second snowball dispenser, and look to the top right. E Yeah! e 1 D Nintendoer 11/14/2015 1:47 PM ·Spoilers The Fortress has a strange set of eggs. Here's the one in the Sealed Gateway.
