The Best Pirates: Majora's Mask part 14

    Link as a fish person swims into the pirate hideout.  After dodging patrol boats and sea mines and traversing an incredibly elaborate series of water works that exist for no defined purpose but to be mini puzzles.  Link finds himself in a pirate courtyard for Gerudo pirates.

Ganon-ish

    I realize that this entire series, I have been throwing a billion odd names all over the place so with sincerest and most courteous apologies allow me to define this one too.  The Gerudo people are a tribe that usually live in the desert that consists entirely of women.  All of these women are redheads without exception.  The matter of this race of all women's survival for hundreds of years is not discussed in the games (because E for everyone), I think it is safe to assume that if any questions are asked, one should defer to the Wikipedia article on the Amazons because I will not say any more on this.  All Gerudo women will have Gerudo daughters, but prophecies tell of a man being born among them who is exceptionally powerful and very evil.  This guy, Ganon, is villain of most of the games.  As discovered in Skyward Sword, this anomalous Gerudo exists due to a malevolent spirit that takes will take on human form and is constantly reincarnated over the years.  The important thing is red headed pirate ladies.

Here's some music to enrich your reading experience.  

After doing his best to avoid patrolling guards, Link handily gets captured and then promptly experiences defenestration or gets thrown off a wall or something of that sort.   I went and got a special mask to appear invisible to guards (like hiding under a cardboard box or barrel as a certain chain smoking spy featured immediately above these lines is known to do) and then worked my way toward a crawlspace.  In this crawlspace, Link sees a beehive hanging from the ceiling and the pirate captain lady is talking to one of her fellow pirates.  They discuss that Skull Kid (because who else) told them to take the eggs as they would reveal the secret entrance to the Great Bay Temple and unbelievable treasure.  Link takes a shot with his bow and knocks the beehive down chasing the pirates from the room.  Then sneaking around a bit more, he claims one of the four eggs in the hideout.  Sneaking around and avoiding the other guards (though having to fight with some because they are different than the pike wielding guards) leads to more eggs which fit in the ever convenient bottles.  However, these four eggs are incomplete as three more eggs must be obtained. Link swims there and finds that the eggs are guarded by large sea snakes.  As it turns out, Link has the power to emit electricity like an electric eel in this form and by doing so fries all the snakes.  

Upon rescuing the eggs and taking them to the marine biology lab.  The eggs hatch together and, putting Mozart to shame, write a jazz combination melody moments after being born.  Really gotta hand it to the little guys, maybe instead of playing Mozart for newborn infants, mothers will let their infants get kidnapped by pirates and sea monsters.  Could be risky but at least all the kids would come back as musical prodigies.  That's right Mozart, I'm talking to you.  What do you even do anymore?  Decompose? Ok, I think I've sold this at this point and should move on.  

Anyway, Link plays the song for the mother, who sings it at an island, and the island transforms into a large sea turtle with trees on its back.  Can you spell puzzles and dungeons? I think you can.  Also, unlike the first two, this one is quite tedious, though not as bad as the one that shall not be named from the previous game that was also big blue and wet.  Thankfully this is not a tutorial, and I can just hit the high points in the next post.
