Spoiler Gratitude Crystals

[Links Brother]

Most Zelda Games have their collectible items. Twilight Princess had it's Poe's souls and golden bugs. Ocarina of Time had it's gold skulltulas. And Skyward Sword has Gratitude Crystals. For those who don't know what it is I will do a quick overview. Batreaux is a monster who lives in a house below the graveyard in Skyloft. Batreaux wants to be friends with the people of Skyloft but they all run away. He tells you if you get him 80 Gratitude Crystals he will turn into a human. If you return to him after getting a certain amount of crystals like 5 or 10 he will give you a prize. Gratitude Crystals can be yearned by helping people or finding them in Skyloft or on the islands in the sky. So did you like the Gratitude Crystals? Or would you prefer something like the Gold Skulltula quest.

I liked the gratitude crystals more because it was less threatening then searching down golden spiders of death

This was a well rounded side quest. The rewards were a bit lacking, but I enjoyed the collecting more than the rewards.

I hope the game designers of Zelda continue to do sidequests like this rather than hunting things down ala Golden Skulltulas/Poes Souls. It was not done to the scale of Majora's Mask's Bombers' Notebook (if you can consider that one giant mega-sidequest), but still it was very cool and well done.
