- Magic Meter:
- - 'a stamina scroll': this is a reference to ALBW since that is the only 'item' in the zelda series that increases you magic meter, but it's called stamina. I feel like when it's called 'a magic scroll' it kinda loses it's reference and seems really vague and seems more like a spell that magic abilty. In light of this I recommend just removing the hint.
- - 'a green rectangle': I don't really like how this this references the how the HUD looks, since that's not really what the item is. I kinda on the fence on this one, but I'd prefer it removed (which I had done earlier).
- - 'a Magic Meter': The item you get is "The ability to use magic", the ability to have a meter. The meter is just a conenquence of ability, not the goal. I think with that in mind it makes more sense to "Obtain Magic" than to "Obtain a Meter". It's especially weird when appearing in shops to buy a meter. I think this should stay as "Magic"
- Double Defense:
- -"study hearts" and "strengthened love": I think were fine, and should stay in.
- Hookshot:
- -"the Grapple Beam" and "the BOING! chain": both don't really make a lot of sense since they are references to items in other games to understand them. They should be removed. I'm not a fan of the old options, but I don't think these new one are really an improvement. I'd suggest replacing them with "a harpoon gun"
- Scale:
- -"a deep dive": doesn't really sound like an item and more like a thing you do in the location. I suggest removing it, and readding "a dive enhancer" or something like that.
- Hammer:
- -"a metallic crusher": this hint seems fine and should be readded
- -"the WHAM! weapon": I don't feel like this is that great of a hint since it's not really easy to try to describe the sound. There are other items that could arguably make similar noises.
- Iron Boots:
- -"help drowning": This isn't even a noun and won't fit grammatically. Also let's avoid suicide references. this should be removed.
- Hover Boots:
- -"slip shoes": At first I thought this was referring to shoes you can slip on your feet (without needing to lace). I'm pretty certain that this is a term that exists. I'd rather this remain as "slippery shoes", to be more clear.
- Kokiri Sword:
- -"a starter slasher": this just seems kinda weird, especially in the context that it's usually not your first sword. I recommend just using terms for small knives, like "a switchblade".
- -"a child's cutter": this can read as someone who cuts children, or who cuts for children, which is uhh not really ok. I know you like alliteration, but let's use words that can have bad meanings. I recommend going back to "a child's blade"
- Hylian Shield:
- -"a kid's shell": I'm not even really sure what this is referring to. Like if you use it as child that you it looks like the shell of a turtle? Feels too many degrees removal. Should be removed
- -"a Like Like's lunch crunch": this could be deku shield. Should be removed.
- -"a Hylian relic": I like the reference that this is a the shield of the royal guard. Maybe "a knight's shield" or something like that.
- Farore's Wind:
- -"a relocation rune": It is not a rune. Also at first I thought it said tune. This should revert to "a relocation magic" or something else.
- -"a green ball": Probably should be "a green crystal". I imagined that it was a crytal that was glowing in the center. same thing for the other magics.
- -"a green wind": I like the wind reference, maybe instead use "a windy warp"?
- Nayru's Love:
- -"the Bryna barrier": people who've played LTTP probably still won't know what this is. This should be removed.
- -"a blue crystal": should be added as from above
- Din's Fire:
- -"a red ball": again to "a red crystal". Alternatively these can all be just "a red spell" or something like "fairy wind/love/fire".
- Fire Arrows:
- -"the flame flinger": sounds like the bow, the thing that's doing the flinging. This should be removed.
- -"flame darts": Probably could use some rewording, but I think it's ok. Probably "flame bolts"
- Ice Arrows:
- -"the frostbite flinger": again some problem. just use "frostbite bolts", or even better, just "frost bolts"
- Light Arrows:
- -"the luminous launcher": same issue. remove.
- -"holy power": something that could be added, since it's the only item that has any kind of apparent holy attribute.
- Lens of Truth:
- -"true sight": is the ability to see through illusions and the invisible, so this feels pretty appropriate.
- -"a detective's tool": is a magnifying glass, so again pretty accurate.
- -"a gambling cheat": this is more readily read as someone who is a cheat and also gambles. Probably should be removed. The reference to the chest minigame is good, but maybe something that sounds more clear.
- -"a ghost tracker": seems kinda odd, since there's only one poe that is invisible, all other ones this item does nothing. Kinda on the fence but not a huge fan.
- Goron Tunic:
- -"Cooking clothing": this sounds like an apron, and kinda weird in this context. I think this should be removed.
- Epona's Song:
- -"a Malon melody": should be "Malon's melody"
- -"a ranch song": I think this is fine, it is the song played at Lon Lon Ranch.
- Sun's Song:
- -"a Skulltula summoning song": I get that they show up at night, but this feels like too many degrees of removal. This should be removed.
- -"the gibdo's bane": this seems fine.
- -"the ReDead's bane": this is fine, but it seems that the spelling of redead has a strange amount of argument over. I kinda would like to avoid it, but at the same time I don't care lol.
- Song of Time:
- -"the tune of Somaria": as with Byrna, should be removed.
- -"the tune of ages": Makes sense on its own, and doubles as an item from OoA.
- Bolero of Fire:
- "a volvano verse": this should be "a volcanic verse" to match the other song hints
- "a song of a red sea": this seems fine, but if you really don't like it, I'm fine removing it.
- Requiem of Spirit:
- -"the desert ditty": I don't think this song constitutes as a ditty, but fine I guess...
- Ruto's Letter:
- -"a fishy stationery": this seems fine
- Milk:
- -"a baby's breakfast": this seems really weird, but it's ok I guess
- Gerudo Membership Card:
- -"a woman license": this seems kinda inappropriate to me and should be removed.
- -"a desert tribe's pass": this seems fine
- Recovery Heart:
- -"short-term love": I dunno I get what this is going for, but it comes off strange. It doesn't really imply that it's recovery heart or piece of heart. I think it should be removed.
- -"disappointing love": I think this was fine. It's kinda disappointing to get as it's basically the same thing as the green rupee. If you're worried about it being to close to the new "broken heart", then I can get that.
- Green Rupee:
- -"a tiny coin": this seems fine
- Blue Rupee:
- -"a nickel": I'm ok with "a penny" since it's used in a bunch of countries. However nickel is only used in America and Canada, so less of a fan. Preferred if this was removed.
- Bombs:
- -"fireworks": I think this is fine.
- -"black spheres": This is reall weird since they are blue, but calling them blue spheres is kinda vague. I kinda rather this was removed.
- Ice Trap:
- -"an icy blast", "an unwanted freeze", "a wintery surprise": all seemed fine
- Bombchus:
- -"remote mines": this seems fine
- Deku Nuts:
- -"Sheik's ammo": I really like this reference to Sheik. Maybe call it "Sheik's weapon"
- -"Deku Vomit": There are a lot of Deku creatures, and when I hear Deku I first think of the Deku Tree. Maybe "scrub spit" instead?
- Water Temple Boss Key Chest:
- -I was avoiding hints that referred to the items that in those locations in vanilla. So I wasn't really a fan of referring to it as the boss key chest in hints, since that chest does not contain the boss key. I don't really like "Gold" chest since it might not be gold if you set the option to change chest size to match contents. I don't like "Boss" chest cause it sounds like the item HC from the boss. Up open to suggestions, but I really don't want to have things based on their vanilla contents.
- Silver Gauntlets/Mirror Shield Chest:
- -The whole left/right thing is confusing to me since it faces away and so the directions are backwards. meaning the left hand is the right side of the dungeon. I like child/adult as it was more immediately obvious which side the hand referred to.
- Haunted Wasteland Structure Chest:
- -this should be "beneath #the sands#, flames reveal" since it's two torches. Alternatively, it could be "fire reveals", since fire can refer to both collectively
