The Missing Poe

One of the objectives in Legend of Zelda is to collect the "souls" of sixty ghosts that are sprinkled throughout this huge game world. The Zelda ghost is called a "Poe" in reference to Edgar Allen, of course.
 
The Poe can only be attacked at night as they hibernate during the day. Link must be in wolf-form to attack them. Since the game cycles through day and night at set intervals, Zach sometimes literally has to "wait around" for dark! In a video game. Isn't that crazy? Anyhow, it makes the game more realistic and forces you to go off and do daytime things during the day. Apparently Link, like rust, never sleeps.
 
Zach has found and de-souled 59 Poes. That last Poe, he's a slippery sucker. Very hard to find.
