Deku Shield
(Published on 16. June 2023, 19:22 by yttrio)
This is the second puzzle in a small series themed around The Legend of Zelda.
For only 40 Rupees, this too could be yours so Mido can let you through to see the Great Deku Tree!
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
The brown line (shield outline) is a Dutch Whispers line (consecutive digits along the line must differ by at least 4).
The red line (Kokiri symbol) is a region sum line. Digits along the line must sum to the same total in each region the line enters. Each instance of the line entering a region is calculated separately.
Cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits. Not all dots are given.
Solution code: Row 1 followed by column 9 (18 digits no spaces)

Very nice puzzle!
Who is Zelda? Important knowledge gap?
-------
The Legend of Zelda is a series of video games, and the design in this puzzle specifically comes from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (originally on the N64). Fortunately, no knowledge of the games are necessary to solve the puzzle :)

Nice thematic puzzle for the Zelda fans! A couple of tricky steps in this one, but I eventually found my way through :)
