The legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

[Shifty]

What are your guys thoughts on it?



So far for me its bein fun and challenging. im not to far in to the game, just collecting those light things from those bugs to get to the second temple. By the time i was done the first temple i already logged 4 hours on it. Hoping for a long game ^^.

[Chojin]

I've only logged a few hours and am mostly sticking to Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam now for some reason, and Red Steel before that. I think it's because I am not ready to TAKE THE PLUNGE or something.

But what I played I was completely unprepared for. I'm used to games these days telling you exactly where to go and what to do next, so having to figure something out kinda threw me and I spent a lot of time doing shit like figuring out how to steal baby carriages and escape from jail. LEGEND OF ZELDA: VICE CITY.

[Black Flag]

i'm on the water temple right now

it's not as frustrating as oot's water temple but it has it's moments

so far it seems like it's building on what oot did pretty perfectly. the wolf parts are suprisingly fun

midna is annoying, but not as annoying as navi was

most importantly, the fishing is fantastic

[domoarigato]

Well so far the game is awesome, however i still feel they just threw in the motion sensing and not really developed on it. Still this was supposed to be a gamecube game. My real bad complaint is what happened to the blue tunic? I look like a reject from the little mermaid on ice!!!

[MarioRPG]

midna is annoying, but not as annoying as navi was

That is a relief.

[EisigerBiskuit]

I would stick it in Midna's pooper.

[DuFresne]

I look like a reject from the little mermaid on ice!!!

That's nice. So what does Link look like?

[Shifty]

Anyone get the mastersword yet or know when you get it?

[Immortal Goat]

I'm in the final temple, and I'm stuck as all hell >:(

Oh, and you get the master sword after the Water temple, but it's not just "OMG Here it is". You have to work for it.

[domoarigato]

Sorry i mean link looks like a reject from the little mermaid on ice. I only look like that on sundays after 10am

[Immortal Goat]

I like the Zora armor, actually. It looks like something the Zoras would design, and I've always liked them a bit more than the Goron's anyway.

[Black Flag]

i like it, too. especially since it covers your mouth which kind of explains why you can breath underwater. in ocarina of time you had to assume that if you wear blue, you can breath like a fish and that makes sense

[Marine]

midna is annoying, but not as annoying as navi was

That is a relief.


Am i seriously the only one who didnt think navi was annoying? :(

[Emu]

It doesn't count if you're masturbating to her while playing ok.

[Black Flag]

apparently there's a glitch where if you save in the cannon room before going to the sky temple you're stuck there forever.

i discovered this by saving in the cannon room before going to the sky temple.

[thebiggameover]

lol. the more i hear/see this game, the less i want to play it....

[eggyolk]

does this game really suck that bad? :(

[Emu]

I think it doesn't suck but it'll be better on the gamecube

[Immortal Goat]

Umm, no? It's fucking awesome on the Wii. The controls are solid, and the aiming is perfect. GC version will pale in comparison.

God, you're all retarded.

[Zomboid]

hahaha. Ok.

Anyway, I'm waiting for the gamecube version like I've been planning on doing since it's announcement.

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

[Supafly345]

Someone called this game a "Twilight Princess" as an insult and the name sadly stuck.

[thebiggameover]

apparently there's a glitch where if you save in the cannon room before going to the sky temple you're stuck there forever.

i discovered this by saving in the cannon room before going to the sky temple.

i guess there is a way to fix it on the web somewhere....

[Marine]

i still need to wait 25 more days until i can play it, :(
MAN, i hate living in sweden >:

[eggyolk]

what's the release date for the cube?

[Black Flag]

November 18, 2001

[Microshock]

heh thats funny...why didnt they release it on nov 18, 2006 then..

i actually remember the ol' cube commercials.

[DuFresne]

On the topic of the game's overall feeling and experince, how would you guys say it compares to OoT? Better? Inferior? A complete rip-off?

[EisigerBiskuit]

a zelda game

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

It's far BIGGER then OoT that's for sure, almost TOO big, but once you start clearing things out of twilight it's a lot of fun, and the horseback fighting and wiimoting is great. It's as different from OoT as windwaker was but easily deeper.

And the wolf parts I thought I was gonna hate are a lot of fun.

[DuFresne]

Deeper than windwaker or Oot?

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

Deeper than windwaker or Oot?
yes, about as deep as LTTP.

http://nogoodzelda.ytmnsfw.com/

[EisigerBiskuit]

Lttp wasn't all that deep imho.

"Zelda's trapd get these stones o wait u were fooled get 7 more and clean up ur mess."

I wish, i saw it on another forum I spam at and laughed my ass off.

I think you've misunderstood the sarcastic nature of my post

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

Yeah I tend to do things like that.

[timrpgland]

I got this for Gamecube Tuesday night. I have about 5 hours in so far. I'm liking it.

[Esuohlim]

Yeah, what's going on with that? I've waited almost four years for this game and I'm not about to buy it for 70 bucks from some Amazon Marketplace asshole. >:

It doesn't even say they're out of stock, it looks like they're flat-out not selling it themselves.

[James]

afasdfsdafas

[darklycan]

Hahaha James you really seem to hate the wii eh? One thing is kinda stupid though. You act like them flipping the world is a god awful end of the world mistake but really, is it that much of a problem? Besides the controles for the game are very simple I have never fucked up once using the Wii's new way of playing. Also why would Nintendo want to stock heaps of copies of a game for their console that everyone abandoned, which will lead them to having lots of left over stock, therefor lose money. Or they could have a shitload of copies ready for their console that almost has a 1:1 ratio of copies of zelda sold to the console.

[James]

sdfasdfasd

[darklycan]

Yeah its fair enough to be pissed off about it, ecspecially that you had it pre-ordered and they cancelled it.

Just harder to relate here becasue every store I walk into at the mall has dozens of copies of it for Gamecube.

Anyway back to the main topic, Twilight princesses has been one of the best Zelda game I've played great story, great combat. Horseback fighting is done fairly well, however the one on one jousting can be a bit tidious. Wolf link works really well and after playing for a while and unlocking the secret moves and that, combat flows really well. The graphics are pretty good for something like the gamecube but the Wii was never going for a graphical comeback so it isn't that much of a problem. All in all I have found the game to be excellent if not better than ocarina of time at least very close to.

[Zomboid]

Pretty sure my copy is under the christmas tree :D

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

Yeah but us Gamecube owners are USED to being dicked, remember Shinji Mikami's quote? "If Resident Evil 4 comes to any console besides Gamecube I will cut my head off"

[darklycan]

Yeah but us Gamecube owners are USED to being dicked, remember Shinji Mikami's quote? "If Resident Evil 4 comes to any console besides Gamecube I will cut my head off"

Yeah thats very true, we do get stuffed around quite alot, I remember buying an American Gamecube magazine that was two months old, yet still kept in date for Australian dates, it was really sad.

Well at least the graphics for RE4 looked alot better on the Gamecube compared to the PS2.

[Black Flag]

James, I know you always whined a ton, but didn't you used to do something else? Sometimes?

[timrpgland]

They don't have stores where you live James? Get out of the house. I see plenty of copies for GC at Walmart, Best Buy, Target and Gamestop.....


SPOILER?

I'm now on my way to the castle after Midna got schooled. I'm not the biggest fan of the wolf form myself. It's easy and the game isn't nearly as fun during the wolf parts, imo.

[James]

sadfsadfsaf

[timrpgland]

That sucks. When I first went to pick it up last Tuesday night they only had one copy and it wasn't marked or anything. Later that week they got some more in and the stock has been pretty decent here even with a lot of the stores cutting back their GC selection.

You have to find the game. I wouldn't say it's my favorite Zelda at this point but it is right up there.

[James]

asfsadfas

[noob3]

you shop with your mom?

[Esuohlim]

Twilight Princess was at the top of my list this year and I haven't yet found a copy in any stores I've been to, so if I don't get it come Monday I've got some searching to do. :(

excuse me, did you say "OUR" version?

[Skulhedface]

This game looks so awesome, despite the fact that I'm exactly, thus far, maybe about 30 seconds into it.

*sighs* I sure hope this game blows me away. I had a kid recently, and as that eats up a lot of time, depending on how many hours this game takes, I may finally have gotten my money's worth, as it's gonna take me MONTHS to make significant progress.

[timrpgland]

SPOILERS




I got the master sword and am now making my way to Lake Hylia to meet whatever his name is to get to the Desert place.

Now that I can switch from Wolf to Human at will, the game has definately taken a leap forward.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

My younger brother got this for Christmas :)

[Esuohlim]

I just grabbed the last copy in the mall today :D

The graphics are amazing, and makes Wind Waker look like a piece of shit. I keep a promise to myself for every Zelda game that I will not look at a walkthrough if I ever get stuck, but the drawback to this is that it took me an an hour and a half to feed the goddamned cat >:

[Zomboid]

Yeah that took me longer than it should have too. I also got stuck looking for one of those fucking tears. The good news is that I get addicted really easily and that's always a sign that the game is good :O

[Esuohlim]

I'm at the tears part now. I've clocked about three hours so far and I'm not all that impressed with the gameplay yet. Part of it is because it's doing a lot what I fucking hated about the beginning of Majora's Mask, and that's running around trying to revert back to my human self. That, and it feels like I'm running around doing errands instead of playing a Zelda game. I dunno, I just hope it picks up soon.

[Zomboid]

It does. I hate those parts too though. I was really disappointed at first and kept waiting for a normal looking zelda game and was thinking that the wolf/darkness thing would be cool for like one temple only but once I got to the forest temple it felt like classic zelda. I'm also a bit disappointed that it looks like there's only 3 swords total, and one is a wooden one :( . I was hoping for an optional one like the giant's knife or gilded sword.

[HickMan]

Feeding the cat was harder then killing ganon. Which, unfortunately, was pretty easy I must say. The first fight with ganon was unimaginative. The last three were really fun but were just too easy.

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

Yeah but us Gamecube owners are USED to being dicked, remember Shinji Mikami's quote? "If Resident Evil 4 comes to any console besides Gamecube I will cut my head off"

Actually, wasn't that a quote over making another sequel to some game series? I can't remember which now.

No it was an exact quote on whether or not he'd ever release RE4 on another console.

He lied, he apologized later after the PS2 release

[DamnthatDavid]

On My first weekend back from bootcamp I went to a friends house and we watched cheesy movies, and played Gears of War. My friend had also brought his Nintendo Wii. Seeing how he was busy mastering Gears of War, I borrowed his Wii and Zelda. The game was freaking awesome, just finished it today. 5 days... Majora's mask took me longer.

Anyway, can anyone tell me at the end why Zant did the Neck Crack and Ganon mirrored him and died? Only thing I'm not getting.

[Uncle_Sham]

My cousin thought midna was a gay dude. srry about thu randomness i jus red the frnt pg.

[GADZOOKS]

What?

[Uncle_Sham]

nvm

[Yggdrasill]

I just got the game and i'm at the part where I am burning some webs with the lamp.

So will I always have to backtrack to refill the lamp with oil?

[Uncle_Sham]

where you go there is a run down village am i right? well anyways there is a guy there sitting on a rock with a birds nest on his hed, talk to him and heel give you an empty bottle now go over to the birds shop and dip ur bottle into the cauldron and it will be fill of oil now instead of paying just run. now you hve a spare bottle, when you use up your lanterns oil just go to the opitons menu and use the oil with the lantern and BAM! its full. Solved ur problem?

[Yggdrasill]

no thats fucked i'd rather use magic. how many bottles do you get in the game?

[Uncle_Sham]

i have no idea. And fucked? why do say that my good fellow?

[DamnthatDavid]

Midna is hot.

[Uncle_Sham]

lol

i dont no why tht made me lol

[Chojin]

i've seen midna porn :<

[Black Flag]

I just got the game and i'm at the part where I am burning some webs with the lamp.

So will I always have to backtrack to refill the lamp with oil?

man you must be really really bad at this game if you had to do it more than once

[Uncle_Sham]

Midna porn? man get some decent stuff at least like hilary clinton porn.

[eggyolk]

for fucks sake, is this out on gamecube yet?

[Uncle_Sham]

Yes sir!

[the_dudefather]

once I finish my current batch of assignments, i gotta find time to play this.

had it for a damn month and only up to the third dungeon, have et to take the 'plunge' as someone mentioned aptly put it before

[Yggdrasill]

I just got the game and i'm at the part where I am burning some webs with the lamp.

man you must be really really bad at this game if you had to do it more than once

I was having trouble just getting into and paying attention to the game. Until I got turned into the wolf and escaped the dungeon it was a bit boring.

[Uncle_Sham]

It sucked being in the dungeon with that bitch, i wish you could hurt her.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Zant fucks her up! Yeah!

Im getting kind of pissed off because Im stuck. I got the book but I refuse to use it! Anyway I love it. Its been an awesome adventure. Im on the broken Twilight Mirror part. Im trying to get in the fucking mountains but I dont know how! I think I have an idea though! Telmas! I have to go to Telmas and find out!

[Uncle_Sham]

Man, ive been fucked on that game for a while. It bugs me.

[GADZOOKS]

Its been an awesome adventure.

:lol

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Yeah I know :lol

:(

[DamnthatDavid]

Mountains... ZORA

and if any of you have beaten it yet, you will see why I say Midna is hot.

[EisigerBiskuit]

I say she was better off a midget.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

As cool as the Wii mote is, I thought the music quality was appaulling. Why are they using Midi? Why cant they just hire an orchestra? Shouldn't a game like this be high-budget?

[Emu]

Picked this up last night on the GC. :D

Got to just after where you get turned into a wolf and I just escaped from the sewer thing after about an hour and a half of playing.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

I just beat The City in the Sky and was getting pissed because I was lost for a minute.

[Esuohlim]

Just completed Goron Mines after about nine and a half hours. I'm probably making horrible progress but this game is really awesome and I want to milk it for all it's worth.

[GADZOOKS]

I had no trouble finding it for the gamecube. Besides finding where they put the Gamecube games :/

I think Best Buy and Circuit City have a thing where you can check for availabilty at stores near you.

[Shifty]

Just completed Goron Mines after about nine and a half hours. I'm probably making horrible progress but this game is really awesome and I want to milk it for all it's worth.

It took me about the same ;( That horseback fight just before the mines gave me a serious erection

[eggyolk]

im just to the mines, and somehow i forgot to get a small key so i'll be backtracking. i love the idea of using the iron boots for more than just sinking underwater also.

That horseback fight just before the mines gave me a serious erection

[Chojin]

I see someone gets their opinions direct from gamespot.

Do you even know what midi is? It's a protocol. The music in Zelda is digitally orchestrated and is not performed by a live orchestra, yes, but it isn't MIDI, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.

[HickMan]

The music does suck, though. Especially for a game like this. That's my biggest gripe.

[Zomboid]

Yeah, but that's probably cause we're still comparing it to ocarina of time, which had an amazing soundtrack.

[GADZOOKS]

Am I the only person who finds the wolf shit incredibly boring?

And I think the music is fine :rolleyes

[Zomboid]

Yeah, actually I haven't played for a couple weeks because I got so sick of that shit after the goron mines. It's really tedious and not very fun.

[Emu]

F*ck you guys I love the music. :(

I really don't think the game's that tedious, at least at most parts, but maybe that's just because nothing can compare to the tediousness of having to fish two billion shards of the triforce out of a large, empty, cell-shaded ocean, a la Wind Waker.

[eggyolk]

ah shit... stuck in the water temple

again :rolleyes

[GADZOOKS]

Leave me alone, Zelda

[zeldasbiggestfan]

I would too because well. Being a wolf sucks. Id much rather kick ass human style than be something that licks its ass all day. (Im walking right into something I just know it).

But seriously Ive hated being a wolf. I dont like sense vision either. But fighting twili messengers is awesome as a wolf.

[eggyolk]

jesus christ, you arent even forced into wolf form after the third temple

[GADZOOKS]

Hindsight is 20/20, jesus christ.

[bigtimecow]

the boomerang... no scratch that, TORNADOrang fucking sucks and is useless

atleast after the forest temple

[zeldasbiggestfan]

I just beat it. I fucking loved it. And Midna. HOT DAMN. :lol

But seriously final boss fight= Best boss fight for any Zelda game. EVER.

[Emu]

the boomerang... no scratch that, TORNADOrang fucking sucks and is useless

atleast after the forest temple

You have to use it to get some of those golden bugs down from high places later. Aside from that I dunno ;(

[eggyolk]

i used it to get a piece of heart that im pretty sure you're not supposed to get until you get the clawshot

it's not as bad as the slingshot, which doesnt even hurt enemies

[Emu]

Yeah, you use the slingshot like one time to hurt one thing and then never use it again.

[eggyolk]

actually ive used it in temples to knock down bats, but still.. i have a fucking bow

[Chojin]

I've been playing A Link To The Past ever since it came out on Monday, and I've gotta say-

LTTP was way, way better :<

I wish they'd just remake that game every year. Seriously, within 10 minutes of starting the game up you're swashbuckling through the palace and throwing people off of cliffs :<

[ArrowX]

I'd LOVE to see LTTP done in 3d from the top down perspective.

[GADZOOKS]

Naw man, they would just make all the characters look hideous like they did in this game.

I mean that really small kid from the beginning of the game? disgusting

[ArrowX]

I'm not a big fan of the 3D Zelda games.

The only one Ive ever actually finished was LTTP when I was like 7

[Chojin]

I mean if they had combined the cameras, control scheme, et al from Twilight Princess with LTTP's plot, characters, pace, and everything else. Digital sex.

[ArrowX]

that would be great.

Fuck the Swamp Dungeon in the dark world. It took me a month to finish that one when I was younger. Same with the 7th dungeon in the mountains, its damned near impossible when you don't understand reading clues.

[eggyolk]

guys i have too much fucking money in this game, i need a bigger wallet and things to buy :(

Yeah, that'd be pretty fun. I play through lttp once a year or so and it's still a fucking classic. They pretty much use the same basic formula for every game but I still like that one the most overall.

[Guitar Woman]

So Chojin, are you planning on reviewing Virtual Console games on your website, or are you gonna be a big fag and leave them neglected and alone :<

[Chojin]

We're eventually going to get to them, I think. We're catching up on the launch library first.

[Microshock]

We're eventually going to get to them, I think. We're catching up on the launch library first.

do you buy these games or rent it? or do the publishers send them to you now that you're a big review site?

all kidding aside...the city in the sky temple has frustrated me. i have to go thru the whole goddamn thing again.

the gale boomerang is used to get those stupid floor creatures out so u can kill them

and the wrecking ball is cool...i went back to the dummy next to link's house and it knocked his pumpkin head off.

temple of time is my favorite temple so far.

[kahljorn]

One time i beat LTTP in 24 hours. That's the one on Super Nintendo, right?

I haven't gotten any new games for a while that had an engaging plot... in fact I've been disappointed in most of the games I've gotten for the past 6 years or so ;/ but i don't buy alot of videogames anymore. I'm sure there's SOME good ones out there.

[Zomboid]

LTTP can be beaten really quickly. I beat it in less than a day :p

[quote=StupidKraut]I'm not a big fan of the 3D Zelda games.

I was never able to play OOT for any time longer than about an hour, its probably the only one I could stomach playing through because for actually buying the games it went LTTP - Wind Waker and that game bored the shit out of me to the point of abandoning the series.

[kahljorn]

well it was probably less than 24 hours, jerk. DO YOU WANT TO RACE?

[Esuohlim]

Am I the only one that actually liked Wind Waker? :(

If I start thinking about shitty Zelda games the one that immediately comes to mind is Majora's Mask. It's a cool concept I guess, whatever, but the constant worrying about running out of time killed the game for me. And once I got to the moon and it turned out to be a meadow with a tree I was like fuck this

[GADZOOKS]

I thought WindWaker was great! Majora's mask had some good parts but alot of it was ridiculous logic.

Uh, so there's one of those stupid tears i have to get near Zora's Domain but I can't get to it because there is a stupid fucking rock in the way. It's on the left side of Zora's doman on what appears to be a little sliver of land. HOW DO I SOLVE THIS.

[eggyolk]

i liked majora's mask a lot more than wind waker. in fact, i would say wind waker is the worst one of the series that i have played. the sailing was only fun for so long but you could seriously pick a direction and leave for a while, come back, and still not be at your destination.

h8 u ww >:

majora's mask was about the same length gameplay wise i would guess. both of them had 4 dungeons if i recall, none of which stand out in my mind as astounding. (although the volcano dungeon in WW was cool)

[timrpgland]

Wind Waker is a fun game and at first had me really thinking it was going to be a masterpiece. It fell short, obviously, but it's still a very good game. It's just not all that great of a Zelda game.

Majora's Mask gets quite a bit of flak but I don't agree. It's a great, trippy addition to the series that doesn't take itself all that seriously while pushing the limits of what the N64 could do.

I would have to say that The Minish Cap is my worst favorite among the Zelda games released on Nintendo platforms.



....and it should only take 6 hours to beat LttP.

[Zomboid]

I kinda figured that, tim, but I honestly couldn't remember how long it took me the last time and I didn't wanna sound arrogant and then try to do it and fail miserably...but yeah, once you've played through it a dozen times or so you pretty much remember how to do everything.

Kahl- you're on :O

Uh, so there's one of those stupid tears i have to get near Zora's Domain but I can't get to it because there is a stupid fucking rock in the way. It's on the left side of Zora's doman on what appears to be a little sliver of land. HOW DO I SOLVE THIS. Is it INSIDE zora's domain or actually outside of it? If it's inside there's a whole bunch of those leap things with midna that you have to do and at one point you can keep going up and to the right or just go left and to an exit leading out.

[Esuohlim]

I would have to say that The Minish Cap is my worst favorite among the Zelda games released on Nintendo platforms.

Oh right. This one is absolutely forgettable, and I tried starting it a second time a few weeks ago and became completely bored.

[GADZOOKS]

Yeah Zomboid it was all the leaping stuff, thanks.

They weren't kidding about the game being huge, but I wish there wasn't so much empty space >:

[Zomboid]

Yeah no kidding. I'm only a little bit ahead of you (did that exact part you just finished and a bit more and that's it) but the game looks huge. After I got turned back into a human I went and explored and found...nothing. I remember there being lots of stuff to find in the fields in ocarina of time and majora's mask. I'm kinda disappointed so far.

[kahljorn]

videogames don't have polish anymore :O AND NO IM noT TALKING ABOUT HOT DOGS

[eggyolk]

zomboid, try coming back to spots once you get the essential upgrades. hookshot, bombs, etc. im on the 6th temple now and i just finished snowpeak. i've always been a fan of snow levels and this one was great on the way DOWN the mountain on the way to the temple. however, the boss... gay :(

[kahljorn]

I'll have to find a rom or something.

[Emu]

Yeah no kidding. I'm only a little bit ahead of you (did that exact part you just finished and a bit more and that's it) but the game looks huge. After I got turned back into a human I went and explored and found...nothing. I remember there being lots of stuff to find in the fields in ocarina of time and majora's mask. I'm kinda disappointed so far.

There actually is a lot of stuff in the emptiness if you know what you're looking for. I found a Heart Piece sitting in the branches of a tree, and a lot of the gold bugs and poes are in the field.

[Guitar Woman]

I just got the gamecube version of this. It's fun; I spent a good half-hour just fucking around in the village and hitting people with rocks. Then I got into the forest cave and it started kicking ass. The soundtrack is kind of annoying me at this point, though. Please tell me it gets better :<

[GADZOOKS]

That Sacred Grove puzzle really did me in.

[Microshock]

my favorite part of zelda: tp is the huge epic fights

it just feels so cool how these bosses are huge and u manage to bring them down....

bosses like the city in the sky boss or the lava boss..

they are all kind of easy though.

[ArrowX]

I stared windwaker loving everything about it, until the sailing.

[Emu]

I loved Wind Waker whenever I didn't have to sail. The plot was one of my favorites, although I wish you could have run around more of OMG real Hyrule instead of the stupid f*cking ocean.

[GADZOOKS]

Wah Wah Wah, I'm sorry I said I liked it if it was going to make you nerds squawk the sailing shit like parrots :rolleyes

So I'm at Sun Temple, no wait, Arbiter's Grounds or w/e. Am I the only one who thinks that the first area (Orden) looked graphically brilliant and then it just starts petering off (like the desert which looks N64ish).

[Emu]

I thought so too :( The desert seems like an afterthought compared to the rest of the game.

[GADZOOKS]

The stallord boss was awesome :( Too bad the use of the spinner will be far and between for the rest of the game.

[Chojin]

I just crashed link to the past :<

When you're in the woods in the dark world, you stand where the mushroom is in light world and use the mirror. This part of the crash is on a lot of sites because there's a graphic glitch and the game still populates the world with dark world characters and haha and ok and yes. What you NEVER WANT TO DO is leave the screen and come back so that the mushroom will reappear, then try to go back in your portal, cause Link grabs the mushroom as you teleport away and holds it proudly aloft with a DUN NUN NUN NUUUUN for the rest of his natural life and there is nothing at all you can do about it

I had collected at least 5 pieces of heart since i last saved, too ;_;

[Zomboid]

I fucking love the spinner and the desert level.

[Emu]

Omfg the fight with the dragon ;_;

[Zomboid]

HOW MANY MORE BRIDGE SEGMENTS AM I GOING TO FIND IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE?

[Emu]

The one in the desert is the last one

I think

[bigtimecow]

there are more?!

i'm not very far into the game, but i thought that whole bridge finding thing was pretty fucking lame

[Zomboid]

I've come across 2 or 3. It's kind of an interesting idea but annoys me when it happens. I'm going to the snow place now and I hope it is fun :O

[Microshock]

you know what i hate! the cave of fucking ordeals..after u get the hunk of the bridge in the desert...then u get access to the cave but there are these enemies..

the most annoying enemies you will ever fight....and theres 4 of them

its these mummies with these big swords...and they start screeching so u cant move and then they throw down a sword at you...its almost impossible to hit them...cuz then the next one screeches and the next one...

i mean come the fuck on!!! and the cave of ordeals doesnt even let u fucking have a save point...its like 50 rooms and if u die u have to go thru them all over again...

my favorite boss...would have to be the last one...its a pretty good one on one fight....steel on steel.

that rollgoal also pisses me off!

[Emu]

I've come across 2 or 3. It's kind of an interesting idea but annoys me when it happens. I'm going to the snow place now and I hope it is fun :O

make sure you get the scent of the reekfish first in wolf form!

[Zomboid]

What is a good place to go fishing for reekfish?

[Emu]

You need to get the coral earring from the Zora Prince first. He's in a secret area of the Kakariko graveyard.

Once you get that, go back to the Zora sanctuary and in the large waterfall pool there's a place with a large rock and a small rock sticking out of the water together. Right next to there you can fish for them. Once you catch one, shift into wolf form, sniff it and ONWARD

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Omfg the fight with the dragon ;_;

Argarok was fucking fun.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

HEY! Who got all the hearts and bottles and bombs and arrows and magic armor and everything? I DID!! YES!

[Yggdrasill]

I had everything including poes bitch. I was playing this all the time but then a glitch ate some of my items. :(

[Zomboid]

Despite your name, I think it's best that you just stay away from this thread zelda.

[Microshock]

i like the snowboarding contest u have with the yeti in the snowplace.

[Guitar Woman]

Jesus christ, is there some kind of rule at Nintendo stating that water-themed levels in zelda have to be fucking gay as hell

[timrpgland]

I liked the water level...


HEY! Who got all the hearts and bottles and bombs and arrows and magic armor and everything? I DID!! YES!


If you did it without the strategy guide, good work. I'm not even close to finding everything.

[Emu]

He didn't :rolleyes

[eggyolk]

microshock, if you could stop spoiling the game for others, well i think that would be just fine

[Black Flag]

this game would be so much more awesome if they had one on one multiplayer swordfights

it'd be so much more fun than dodging then button mashing like at certain points in the game

[Guitar Woman]

I didn't expect there to be button mashing in such a high-end title. I actually drowned in Lake Hylia because I didn't realize that was how to get back to the surface fast enough. :<

[GADZOOKS]

I beat it, the final battles and the ending stink.

It was an OK game.

[Zomboid]

I liked the water level...

Me too. I was expecting it to be frustrating, but it was actually pretty fun. So far my favorite was probably the desert level.

[eggyolk]

i am now on the sky temple. very beautiful and somewhat challenging for a change of pace. i have a feeling this might be the last temple before "the last temple" and if so i am going to be sad. :(

[Zomboid]

That's one of my gripes. Seems way too short :(

[Emu]

I got the idea that since they had to divert so much attention to the Wii production of the game that both versions got shafted on quality, hence the unpolished desert and snow areas, and general emptiness of everything else.

Plus I'm noticing a lot of graphical glitches and errors in some places, especially during the day/night transitions when tiles of the ground will start flashing for no reason.

[Zomboid]

Did you get that annoying glitch during the desert temple where even after you get out of the quicksand, you're walking really slow? I got that in a timed room and I had to go through it like 20 fucking times because he was going at half speed.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Bugs are jumping on you.

AND NO I DIDNT USE THE BOOK BECUASE I DONT OPEN THEM BECAUSE IT PISSES ME OFF. Besides I heard this one doesnt even have a heart piece guide so fuck it.

[GADZOOKS]

Zomboid, what stupid is trying to say is that sometimes you are attacked by PHANTOM RATS :O. To kill them you have to go wolf, turn on your senses, and do a spin attack.

Well now after playing this game, I just think there is really nothing more they can do with this franchise. Sure, they can make the same game that looks graphically better and add a few new items and it will make dorks like the scumbag above me happy, but they are going to have to take the game in a new direction to keep my interest. An updated hyrule every half decade just isn't going to work anymore.

[Yggdrasill]

I thought that was a glitch when I was in that dungeon too. It pissed me off so much because it looks exactly like your sinking in quicksand for no reason.

Zelda bugs?

[Microshock]

i didnt know what was happenning in the desert temple either...and then i turned to wolf form and saw midna squirming around.

can anyone tell me how to kill those stupid screeching mummies? maybe theres some item i can use?

[Yggdrasill]

Use the ball and chain. It goes just far enough to hit one twice and kill it without having it screaming at you.

[eggyolk]

or use your sword since you don't have the ball and chain yet

[Microshock]

i do have the ball and chain...i finished the game..ok thanks ill try that

[eggyolk]

OK i'm in hyrule castle and im not going any further until i finish the side quests. i was working on heart pieces yesterday and today and i've only got 5 more pieces left to find. for this, i thank the fortune teller. :) i have 25 poes left to find, but i cant see myself actually doing that unless the reward is worth the effort.

ps if you havent been to the fishing spot yet, you need to go. :eek

[Goat Cheese]

The poe reward is a shit ton of ruppes.

[eggyolk]

oh boy

[Microshock]

well u wanna know a lil easter egg...when you talk to the fortune teller...she says loading please wait backwards.

fishing spot is nothing too special..i got bored quick. and yea if u collect all the poes then u get unlimited rupees. but one of them is so hard to get that even the gamespot team got frustrated and gave up

[Guitar Woman]

she says loading please wait backwards.
A hidden crack at Sony, perhaps?

[zeldasbiggestfan]

An updated hyrule every half decade just isn't going to work anymore.

There are bugs too though. But yeah your probably right.

[Zomboid]

Was definitely NOT bugs because there were no bugs in that room. I'm not even sure it was phantom rats because I remember going into sense mode and not seeing anything. It was weird cause whenever I went into a certain part of quicksand I got that slowdown even out of it.

[Microshock]

A hidden crack at Sony, perhaps?
oh cause of the loading times? no....they just wanted to write it like shes saying an incantation...but its really a load time

its kind of funny.

[Emu]

The phantom rats jump off of you after a moment. Maybe you were just slow on the draw ;<

[Zomboid]

Well FUCK. I was angry as hell for no reason.

[timrpgland]

Bugs are jumping on you.

AND NO I DIDNT USE THE BOOK BECUASE I DONT OPEN THEM BECAUSE IT PISSES ME OFF. Besides I heard this one doesnt even have a heart piece guide so fuck it.

Ok sorry, gamefaqs then. Yeah books are evil, am I right? I mean you have to open them! Opening books pisses me off too, they're all heavy and stuff.. it's sucky..

[eggyolk]

i beat this today. im not gonna lie, i used gamefaqs twice. once on the water temple, and once on the zant fight. on the zant fight i was getting killed by his little purple energy balls in the begining and had used my fairy tears and blue potion already. in that kind of situation, i felt like i needed a guide SORRY GUYS IM NOT A TRUE GAMER :(

[Guitar Woman]

I've only needed help on this one once so far, and I got it on /v/ (4chan). But that one you can't really blame me for, because I really don't know how the game expected me to be able to figure out that I had to warp to death mountain and pull out the fucking giant rock and use it to melt zora's domain, because all asshole Midna told me was that we need to find some way to melt it but I can't help you beyond that lol good luck :<

Anyway, I'm still in the water temple, which has been made a million times more awesome now that I've got the Clawshot. Seriously, out of all the reinventions of Zelda items over the years, this one is by far my favorite. If I ever lose a hand, I am going to force the doctors to replace it with something awesome like this. :<

[Emu]

spoiler: you get two of them later

[Microshock]

wait till you get the double clawshot..oops : ( well its not a huge thing that i gave away right

i actually rememberd the molten rock because when it crashed when i was there...midna said that we may use it later..so i remembered it.

i used gamefaqs in quite a lot of places where i was stuck and i just couldnt get it. but over 80 percent is me.

[Guitar Woman]

spoiler: you get two of them later
Way to hide the spoilers doctor idiot :lol

[Emu]

f*ck you the gray is even easier to read :\ fuck

[Yggdrasill]

is there anything you can really spoil in this game besides the identity of the twilight princess?

[Guitar Woman]

Even people who've never played the game know that spoilers (http://www.the-twilight-princess-is-midna.com/)

[Emu]

Some people get pissed if you say even small shit so whatever :rolleyes

[Zomboid]

Yeah, it's a real shocker that you get a second clawshot, especially after being in that particular temple for a whole minute and seeing the wall adornments.

[Microshock]

i never knew midna was the twilight princess until i got to the part in the game...i thought zelda was.

well what should i do with my copy of zelda now...its a bit worthless and im not a completionist.

[eggyolk]

guys hurry up and beat this game so we can talk about zelda lore

[Zomboid]

i never knew midna was the twilight princess until i got to the part in the game...i thought zelda was.

Why don't you go down to your favorite park and trade it for some pogs or something.

[GADZOOKS]

sell it on ebay, oh wait you have to be 18 to even sign up for it :lol

[Goat Cheese]

Why don't you go down to your favorite park and trade it for some pogs or something.

Star Wars pogs.

[Fathom Zero]

Alf pogs.

[Grislygus]

Everyone knows that the official Jurassic Park pogs are where it's at, get with the program.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Ok sorry, gamefaqs then. Yeah books are evil, am I right? I mean you have to open them! Opening books pisses me off too, they're all heavy and stuff.. it's sucky..
No they piss me off because they dont help. I tried to use one on RE4 a few months back and got pissed off because it didnt tell me where to go. So yeah be quiet.

[Zomboid]

I think they expect you to be able to understand somewhat larger words for some of those books. Maybe that's where they lost you?

[Fathom Zero]

Anyone who needs a guide to finish RE4 needs to be lobotimized.

[Guitar Woman]

Yeah, really. What the hell are you?

[zeldasbiggestfan]

I didnt know what to do in the freezer and took my friends book okay? :(

[Guitar Woman]

Oh jesus, don't fucking remind me of the freezer part. The gray guys made me cry :<

[EisigerBiskuit]

HUG OF DOOM

[Zomboid]

I just finished the twilight "temple". Going into the final part later on :O

[Microshock]

lol i remember in the final temple how when you are about to get the big key...the guys from the bar come help u and then run away.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

THAT WAS AWEOSME. I loved that part oh so much.

[Zomboid]

Just beat it. Really fun overall but the ending was kinda shitty. It was worth the delays, I guess, but I was kinda expecting more. Either way, it was still awesome, just kinda not as good as I was expecting for a zelda game.

[EisigerBiskuit]

So it was good, but some of it was bad.

[Zomboid]

I wouldn't say bad, but yeah, some of it was a bit disappointing. Kinda sucks how you get a few of those items and use them in a certain dungeon and then never again. This is the only zelda game I can think of where so many items are useful for one time only.

- spinner
- rod of whatever
- ball and chain (kinda weak against most enemies outside that temple)
- SLINGSHOT
- horse call (by the time you get it you're warping everywhere anyway. Could've used it early on. Dumb bitch)

Thinking about that, and remembering that chojin has been talking about link to the past makes me wanna play that. Pretty much every item in there is useful outside of the temples you get em in :O

[Emu]

is EVERYONE on the forum playing LTTP?

[Zomboid]

Dunno, but we should. I laugh at people who can't get through that game quickly :O
