Why does Link set out from Lookout Landing and what does he bring for his journey?
Chapter nine. Monsters New and Old
Link set out from Lookout Landing barely two hours after his meeting with Pura. He'd made a stop back in Hontano briefly to pick up his winter gear, but had otherwise already packed anything he would need for a journey. He had his broadsword and shield bearing the Hyrelian crest, his bow, quiver of arrows, and paraglider, along with provisions for potentially spending weeks on the road. It had been quite some time since Link had gone for a journey with Spirit, and despite the dire circumstances he experienced a thrill of excitement as he and his horse walked out of Lookout Landing's gate alone. The road they traversed was familiar, having walked it many times before, and yet he could not deny the sense of discovery and adventure he felt as he gazed out at the fields around him.
He loves spending time in the wild. He always has. As a boy he spent time exploring hidden glades, climbing rock foundations and running through open fields, seeing new places, sleeping under the open sky, walking or riding until his muscles ached for rest. It was a part of him. He cherished his life and home with Zelda, but he always experienced a bit of relief when he had a chance to get out into nature. Hyrule Field was the heart of the land, full of lush forests, babbling streams, and fertile land perfect for raising crops and livestock. A basin surrounded by mountains and plateaus. Once a hundred years ago it was dotted with numerous towns and villages, along with military outposts and way stops.
Now nature had largely reclaimed the land, which stretched for miles in all directions. Like the kingdom itself. Hylians didn't seem to know what to do with it yet. Small settlements had cropped up on the outskirts of Hyrule Field, particularly to the east, along the banks of the Hylio River, and Link knew of at least two families that had set out from Hotsnow Village earlier during the last vestiges of winter, settled the land to the south, near Lake Colomo. For the most part, however, it seemed like Hylians were still skittish regarding the expanse of land between Lake Hylia to the south and the ruins of the old castle to the north. For one hundred years, it had been a land dominated by Calamity Ganon, braved only by the most daring treasure hunters.
However, for the last six years, Link and others had worked tirelessly to drive the scattered remnants of the calamity away. His monster control crew had members from all over Hyrule Hylians and Chica, Gerudo, Zora, Gorons, and even Rito. Their numbers were small, but Link had personally trained each of them. As a result, though travelers may still occasionally encounter the odd Bocoblin camp or Lazolfeld in, rarely would the monsters be a cause for concern, so long as the travelers came prepared. He trusted that Haas' team could address most monster bands that one might find in Hyrule Field. Yet Link knew he would be making at least one detour as he continued west towards the Hebrew Mountains, and the enormous
snowstorm that hovered over them. As lookout landing grew small in the distance behind him, he pulled out his purra pad navigating to the camera's gallery. There he found the image he'd covertly taken of Pura's map after she fixed the camera, with the location of the monster and cannon being investigated by Haas' monster control crew. He eyed the spot, trying to determine how far away it was, and how much time it would add to his trip. The location looked to be on a rise just south of Mount Gustav, which Link could see in the far distance. He was familiar with the area, having traveled along the road that cut between Mount Gustav and the southern hill in the past. Half of the trip to the monster camp would be on the dirt road, which would allow him and spirit to make good time, while the latter half would require him to cut through the field.
He thought the land would be mostly flat, so it wouldn't slow them down much. It would take him half a day's journey out of the way, and then another half day to get back on track.
