   I defeated Grandmorpher.
   
   He was very easy, though I did like how he could remove maximum hearts with some attacks.
   
   The finale was epic. Amazing.
   
   And then that pesky Western mind started thinking about what had just happened and the questions started showing up. :0390:
   
   For now, I have accomplished a significant milestone in the game.
   
   The credits mocked me by showing me that mask thing that was in the thunderstorm. I could not interact with it.

     Ganondorf is too cool and popular to kill off for good.

     After defeating Ganondorf, the save file changed and a new character profile appeared. Finally a bit of lore about why he awoke when he did and how it connects to the Calamity. SOMETHING.
     
     That still begs the question: if Grandmorpher was alive this whole time, what was Calamity Ganon? Aren't their existences mutually exclusive? :thinking:

     @Rasterman I think the real answer is that Nintendo just don't know how to quit him, even if the best Zelda game didn't even have Ganondorf as the villain.

     @xianc78 @Rasterman Hey just an idea, how about you use Unity for any future projects? :0460:

     Once I was back at the surface of Hyrule, I went straight to Lookout Landing. Look, if defeating the Demon King doesn't grant me a paraglider, I don't know what will.
     
     So, anticipating this might be a big moment, I put on my most formal gear and headed straight to Purah.
     
     She actually had new dialogue now! It seems I might have finally enabled the new not-Sheikah towers.

     With a job well done, I left the endgame area to go see if defeating Ganondorf would unlock the paraglider. So I built my chasm ascent device. The first time I went there, I lost 4 hours trying to leave. It was the most excruciating experience with the game. I didn't have most Zonai devices, the knowledge to use them or Autobuild.
     
     Later, I'm ascending through the Hyrule castle chasm and the game just decided it was sleepy and didn't want to load the overworld. It's the first time I see it happen. I do appreciate the mystic mist that prevents one from seeing beyond. Orientals are acquainted with mystic mist.

     SUCCESS! :0330: With a respectable 325 hours put into the game, I have managed to unlock the paraglider and can teach you all how it's done:
     
     First you need to do all quests you can find. Major quests, temples, shrine quests, shield surfing, everything.
     
     Then go beneath Hyrule castle and defeat the Demon King.
     
     After that, make sure your save has a star (see second image). If it does, head back up to the surface and go talk to Purah in Lookout Landing. She will have new dialogue and will give Link the paraglider after some errands within Lookout Landing like getting to know the people in the base.
     
     I'm aware few people might feel up to the task; but if I did it, you can too! :0460: Now got get that glider! :0330:

     @somethinggeneric @ChristiJunior The three outfits say that. Is that deep Tingle lore? Is it a spell? The name of his country? What he says as he dismembers his victims? ...Not sure what he's about but from the way people react to Link wearing his clothes, I'm getting weird vibes. :pepe_feelsweird:

     Here's video evidence of Link starting and completing a quest in the same 5 second span. :pepe_feelsweird:
     
     I don't intent to unfairly criticise the game 'cause it was amazing; but this quest was kind of pointless.
     
     Or maybe this was a joke like "look how fast Link can complete your mission".
     
     I don't know what they were going for here. Japanese humour perhaps.

     Now that the game finally started, it seems Zelda showed up at Hyrule castle during the blood moon! I have to go there investigate; but first, I after ~6 different people across Hyrule told me Robbie has a camera, I asked and it seems this is another feature that will be unlocked. I just have to follow him to the Depths.
     
     A little late, old man. The whole place is lit up and explored; but I guess this quest is intended to show not all characters are as familiar with the Depths as Link.
     
     Robbie knows that Zelda is not the real one, it seems.
     
     Also, the game teaches me, very late, how to throw items and how to attach items to arrows. This information would've been appreciated at the beginning of the game.

     And this part is for @ChristiJunior , whose limited knowledge of the Zelda series led him to the comical conclusion that you needed the paraglider to progress through the game. :pepe_laugh: It was literally impossible to progress any other way. :smug12:
     
     So, here Purah gives Link the shortest quest in the history of quests: it literally solved itself immediately. She wants Link to investigate some stuff that's already done. Granny Purah is a bit slow these days. Should be at the nursing home instead of playing scientist.
     
     The takeaway from this part is that Eiji Aonuma knew the only way to beat the game was without the glider and it would come to a real hero that proves he can defeat the Demon King. Now the game can finally start!
