The part where I venture back into the Faron Woods to partake in a Silent Realm Trial, as well as going out of my way to get specific bathwater for some unimportant water dragon.
Also the part where I discuss the different concepts of Challenge in Video Games, as well as further explaining the problems with Skyward Swords Combat alongside explaining the concept of "The Promise" that Video Games make.

The games used as examples for the Challenge discussion are the Dark Souls Trilogy and Elden Ring.
Also talks a little bit about Doom Eternal to drive points more home for the problems of "Optimal-Play" and "Engagement" in Design.
