Molgera, Protector of the Seal

	I finally found time to play more of The Wind Waker yesterday. During that time I beat the Wind Temple as I had planned on doing and I've come to to the conclusion that, after now having played through each dungeon twice, the Wind Temple is my favorite in the game. For me, it has the best puzzles, best enemies, and just best overall design. It's also nice and big; the first three dungeons, especially the Tower of the Gods (which is the only dungeon in the game I was at all disappointed with), seem kind of small in comparison to the two temples. I like the very open feel of the Wind Temple, especially in the really tall central room. It's not about figuring out where you need to go, but how to get there, which I like. And I don't think there's any other combination of enemies that I like fighting more than Darknuts and Wizzrobes. Preferably Red Wizzrobes, so that they'll summon even more enemies into the battle. I also added two more figurines to my collection; Molgera and Red Wizzrobe are now mine, though the actual title of the Molgera one is "Molgera, Protector of the Seal," such as the title says. The Jalhalla figurine is the same way, so I'm assuming it means the seals on the Earth and Wind Temples. I'm annoyed, however, because I took a pictograph of a Darknut, thinking it was a Mighty Darknut, but it just turned out to be a normal one with a funky helmet. So one of my three pictograph slots was wasted, when I could've otherwised used it to get a shot of a Floormaster. But anyway, I've now beaten both the Earth Temple and the Wind Temple, restoring the power to repel evil to the Master Sword, so now I just have six more pieces of the Triforce of Courage to collect -- though before that, I'll need to get five more Triforce Charts -- and then I'll be able to go down to Ganon's Castle. Though of course I still won't be beating the game for a good while yet. Besides the remaining Triforce Shards, I'm going to be doing all the rest of the sidequest stuff, as well as taking a tour of all 49 squares on the map in order to get anything I might have missed earlier and to finally finish my own Sea Chart I've been in the process of making for almost a year now. (When finished, it will show the location of every island, platform, submarine, and Big Octo). In other news, my parents finally made me go to the doctor and get something for my acne. So now I've got an antibiotic pill I'm taking twice a day for five days, then once per day after that, as well as some antibiotic gel stuff I'm supposed to put on my face twice a day after I wash it. So yeah, I guess we'll see what that does; I don't really care too much.
