I've been playing Twilight Princess and I gotta say, I'm loving this installment of The Legend of Zelda series. I'm to the point where I can't wait for Skyward Sword to come out. However, I do wish that they would've given Link an instrument instead of just having him howl (my ears can't take it).
Something else is odd though. Well, there's a spirit in Faron spring... and one in Ordon spring and Eldin spring in Kakariko. Since Ordon village doesn't have any internal plumbing in its houses... or none that I could see... where would the inhabitants go to bathe? There's always that river that runs through the village and pools behind it, but I don't imagine that to be very private what with the whole village being just a few feet away. What if the villagers wanted a more secluded spot? Would they walk to the Ordon spring which is more secluded since there's a gate and walls and there's even a spot up on a few steps for added privacy. Or would they go all the way to Faron woods and bathe in Faron spring? That seems a bit much but it would be private since the only person there is Coro and he seems more interested in the birds than in anyone else. But with those two choices... there's still a problem... the spirits. If you were an Ordonian villager and knew about the spirits in the springs, would you want to bathe there? I certaintly wouldn't. So I guess the river behind Ordon village would be your best bet. At least that way you'll be able to see the peeping toms, because lets face it, a peeping spirit who has the ability to hide himself in the springs water is much scarier than peeping humans you can throw shoes at and maim.
Kakariko has the same problem, but they do have a hot spring above the Elde Inn. However, unless the villagers and guests are great jumpers (while using the little ramp with the sign next to it), they can't get to the hot spring. Also, there'd have to be a Goron in front of the inn and get on his back to get to the top.... but who'd want to do that just so they could bathe? You could also go to Kakariko gorge and use the hotspring there. So lets see... Kakriko's best bet would be to just use the pool behind Eldin Spring. Yes, there may be a spirit but they'd have to deal with that. The water in the hotsprings is too shallow to bathe in.
Next up is the fact that Link can use hotspring water to regain hearts and it's even sold in Hyrule Castle Town. Anyone else think that's kinda... ick. I mean, the water in Zora's domain is alright because it seems like it's being treated (I'm thinking of the house in Ocarina of Time with the doctor in Lake Hylia) but you just put some hotspring water in a bottle and drink it. Gross... it probably tastes like... Gorons and other beings that have been in the water. I don't want to imagine that.
Maybe I'm thinking too much about this. Actually... I know I am because I've had about a dozen oreos and a bunch of fruit punch... not to mention other sugary goods. When that happens, I tend to over think simple things like this. All in all, it's just a game and anything's possible in a game. Like how wearing shiny blue ninja armor makes Link able to swim underwater without worrying about air. Ah, game logic.
