I have never found a raft without also finding a leaf nearby, or at least a leaf-dropping tree to cut/bomb down.

Yep! When I’m about to go into the heart of Guardian territory, I shift shields around a bit and ditch my durable ones (at Link’s house) and stock up on a bunch of disposable bokos.

The 3DS needed SD cards as well

Sometimes I still wake up in the night in cold sweats over the hours I spent attempting to burn every. bush. in. the. forest. My therapist thanks you for bringing that all back.
