Oh man, just got around to getting to the Romani Ranch on the third day.
I saw Epona and thought it'd be somewhat similar to OOT where I'd have to learn the song and from there Epona would come to me, but damn getting there was just weird. Romani was just dazed, not knowing who I was or what happened, and inside the barn Cremia was shocked that she let it happen. Since it was the third day I assume I had to do something beforehand to stop this all happened. So I went back to the first day, saw a huge rock in the way and didn't know what to do then so I kept doing bomber notebook quests.
One of the kids told me about a huge bomb a Goron gives to you, so I rushed over there, did that stupid sidequest to get the bomb and blew up the huge rock. This time Romani was acting normal and taught me Epona's Song and told me about "Them" which I had to deal with at 2am. So I messed around with the Zora's, got the mask and went back at 2am to deal with them.
Holy shit, it was 2spooky. First you've got this going through your ears while you fight off hundreds of "Them" with a bow and arrow, making sure that none of them get to the barn. You're given around 3 minutes to fend them off. It's not that hard I guess, but it was still nerve racking.
I completed it, and she thanked me and gave me Romani Milk or whatever it is, but after I left I noticed how freaky it actually was.
I mean, if Link never goes there or attempts to stop the Aliens (since you don't have to) these things just abduct her and the cows, wipe her memory then bring her back in a state she'll probably never break out of. It's pretty fucked up when you think about it. It's even worse when no one but her attempts to stop them, so she's just waiting inside the barn for these things to come, by herself at like, what, 9 years old?
Out of all the things in the game, this is by far the creepiest for me.
Also, I don't really want to look up guides for this game to advance it (I did look up one for the fairy locations in the first dungeon, but I don't count that since it's not really telling me where to go and it's optional) but I'm not entirely sure where the Hookshot is to get up the Waterfall so any hints would be useful. I talked to a random Zora and he said a fisherman had it but then repeated the same line about an empty bottle over and over.
