 And this part is for @Christi Junior , 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!

 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.
