The Treasures of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and my opinions of them

Wood Heart: Whether this acorn is a treasure is debatable, but it does have its fans. My Opinion: These things are everywhere, seriously I have more of these than bombs.

Demon Fossil: Fossil of an ancient demon. Sounds rare, but it turns up all over the place. My Opinion: Sounds rare?! The bloody thing IS rare, I’ve busted my butt off all over the place trying to find one of these and I have to find 23. Twenty-fucking-three. 

Stalfos Skull: This artefact's eerie aura makes it the ultimate collectors item. My Opinion: I have yet to find someone, aside from Linebeck, who’ll buy this, I have more than I actually need. I only need 9 and I have 23. These things are too bloody common.

Star Fragment: A sparkly stone that fell from the sky. It’s said to be a piece of a star. My Opinion: The third most common treasure that I can find, I have more than I need but I actually like the look of this one.

Bee Larvae: Readily found in beehives. These energising Larvae sell for quite a bit. My Opinion: Not too fond of these but I need a few of them in order to get the train parts I need.

Dark Pearl Loop: Rare dark pearls, strung together to make a stunning necklace. Opinion: Nice piece of treasure, shame that it only turns up every so often, unlike certain treasures.

White Pearl Loop: Pure White pearls, strung together to make a luminous necklace. Opinion: Nice thing to find/buy, seeing that I need 7 of these.

Ruto Crown: Some say this regal crown was worn by a Zora Princess. Opinion: if by a Zora Princess they mean Ruto, whom the crown is named after, I doubt it, as whenever I met Ruto she wasn’t wearing a crown....or clothes for that matter, which is weird as her father wore a cape.

Dragon Scale: It’s said that this scale came from a dragon, but no one is really sure. Opinion: Kinda cool, if you can find them that is. I need to find 11 of these things and they turn up as frequently as the Demon Fossil.

Pirate’s Necklace: Once worn by a pirate captain who raided the seas. It has an evil aura. Opinion: Tetra would’ve loved this, future Queen of Hyrule and Leader of the Pirates, Link wouldn’t be able to get her to stop.

Palace dish: Priceless dish used by past royalty for eating dessert. Opinion: Thankfully I only need three of these, which is good, seeing that they turn up at the same rate as Dragon Scales, so I don’t need to find as many of them.

Goron Amber: This tasty Goron treat is valuable because it contains a bug! Opinion: Why can’t I sell this to any of the Gorons? I’d love to give them stuff, even if it’s in exchange for bombs or something.

Mystic Jade/Mystic Sphere: Captivating and very valuable because of its beautiful form and colour. Opinion: I only need one of these and I have 3 of them. So I have two to spare.

Ancient Gold Coin: This Ancient coin make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Opinion: When have they ever used coins? I was under the impression that they always used the Rupee system.

Priceless Stone/Alchemy Stone: Desired by many, this artefact is said to bring riches to its owner. Opinion: Brings Riches to its owner, too bloody right, these things are worth so much and I actually had to buy a ton of things to empty out my wallet.

Regal Ring: A Princely ring handed down by Royalty for Generations. Opinion: Cool, Link might want to keep hold of one of these for his son or grandson, because the Zelink was so strong in this game, from the hugs to the blushes to the hand holding to being distracted by one another causing the enemy to escape.

The shape of the honey bee larvae 🐝 cell capping, determines their gender and role in the hive. Cell capping is a unique process that worker bees use to produce drone bees, worker bees, and a new queen for the hive.

Bee larvae. Ah yes we tried this. It's certainly an acquired taste and texture.

Barley  (Hordeum vulgare L)

A field of barley at my brother's farm in Gloucestershire. Every now and then it's good to see food growing up close, especially grains, which, most of the time I encounter after they've been dried, milled into flour and packaged. Barley grass has such a beautiful structure and colour, and to stand in a huge field of it, it's long spikelets swaying in the breeze, brushing each other and making a sound not unlike a strong wind, is a serene and special experience. 

I picked a few strands, squeezing the unripe germs from the husks, and discovered not only that they are delicious and intriguingly textured, creamy and sweet, but that they taste uncannily like the bee larvae which we investigated and cooked with at Nordic Food Lab in April. Weird, huh ?

Can you see the bee larvae in the cells?

When we think of bee nests, we often think of a giant hive, buzzing with social activity, worker bees and honey. But scientists recently discovered a rare, solitary type of bee that makes tiny nests by plastering together flower petals.

Jerome Rozen/American Museum of Natural History

The O. avoseta bee builds a tiny nest about a half-inch long using petals from the flower Onobrychis viciifolia. Each nest usually houses a single egg.

Each nest is a multicolored, textured little cocoon — a papier-mache husk surrounding a single egg, protecting it while it develops into an adult bee.
