The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess thread (SPOILERS)

[the last sheika]

As people who haven't got the game in the Wii thread have suggested it, I am making a thread specifically for TP and specifically, spoilers in it.

wtf is with Ooccoo? I mean..its just..weird.

Its kid is even worse!
Weird, but potentially handy.

Actually, I haven't foind a single use for it yet...Though I am only up to the third temple.

[terrorbite]

Perhaps it would be a good idea to still use spoiler tags for certain things though. Incase people accidentally read something they didn't want to.

Edit: Yes, I take Zelda very seriously :D

[Jay]

Temple 3 stuffs...nothing after temple 3 as I'm stuck in there.

Is it me or is the damn water temple like a maze? That huge staircase that turns is confusing the hell outta me :(.

Oh that cutscene that happens after you restore the light to the spirt in the lake is bad ass. If slighty confusing.

[evan223]

Who's gone for the traditional Link and Epona as the names and if not what have you called them? I have not got the game yet but im going for Link and Epona.

[Haroshi]

Abdul and Jew i'm afraid.

I'm stuck, too. I have been for a long time. Mostly because I got frustrated and stopped playing for a few weeks. I have no clue what to do. I managed to get the water flow into all the right places but there's that chest on the pedestal in that one room that I can't figure out how to fall on. I can't figure out how to get in from the room above. Although it's bright on the map so I must've been there already. ARGH ZELDA SOMETIMES YOU SUCK.

Too heavy on the spoiler tags? Also heavy on the spoilers. Also DON'T TELL ME HOW TO DO IT I'm just venting.

Also, what's with Ooccoo's blue and highly visible nipples?

[eidderf]

Does anyone have a link (it's kind of a pun) to the article or video showing the room in TP which wipes your save file? I keep getting worried about it.

[the last sheika]

I found the Water Temple pretty easy, if long, after you work out how the staircase etc. works, and the water flow and stuff.

[Joe G]

Just got the game today (for GC) and I'm pretty far into the first temple and it is mind-blowingly good! But now I must finish some coursework before I start playing again...must...resist:mad: On a more serious note I think that my favorite thing up to now is the vastly improved sword-play and the little whistle grass things. Oh can anyone tell me if I'm getting Epona/ <insert funny horse name> back anytime soon? As I said I'm starting the forest temple so if someone could tell me a rough non-spoiler time expectancy that would be just fab.

[terrorbite]

I'm gonna buy it first thing tomorrow. Can't wait.

I believe it's between the first and second temple. If not, right after the second temple. Sorry I can't be more precise...

I've just got into the sixth dungeon, which is in the sky with loads of wind and Oocoos. It's confusing as hell.

[Joe G]

Just completed the forest temple and all I can say is this game is "Orgasm on a disc!" I can't wait to play more- this is amazing. I think this could easily be an OoT beater :D (oh and playing as beast link is class).

[Grimmy]

Been finding the game pretty easy, which is actually a shame.

I have already completed 7 temples/area's and im only up to 24 hours. But it is the first game in a very long time that has held my attention for more than an hour or so.

[Mr.L.Xp]

Oh that cutscene that happens after you restore the light to the spirt in the lake is bad ass. If slighty confusing.

Wanna see it again?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdmk4Hncp_Q

I agree, Dark Link looks friggn' bad ass.

[Jay]

I agree, Dark Link looks friggn' bad ass. I really hope you can fight a dark Link like in OoT...would be so cool.

[Mr.L.Xp]

I really hope you can fight a dark Link like in OoT...would be so cool.

I heard a rumor that you can. But then again, i also saw somewhere where someone said "Its a shame you cant fight Dark Link in TP "

Just have to wait and see i guess.

[terrorbite]

Bought it today. Wow.

Been playing for 3 and a half hours, and am only at the part where you collect Tears of Light to restore that forest spirit's light. Granted I like to explore, but still. I can see this game taking me a while to finish.

Really loving it though. The story and cutscenes are far better than any of the previous Zeldas. Best graphics I've ever seen in a gamecube game too.

That's what I thought about the graphics and the water effects are lush. Currently I'm looking for the little light jobbys in Kakariko (and 'tis a bit tedious). I think I won't be able to stop until I've completed this thing!

[JonathanEx]

What is more tedious is fishing for the cat.

[eidderf]

What is more tedious is fishing for the cat.
I agree, I actually got stuck on that bit for nearly an hour because the first 2 times I caught a fish the cat didn't react so I assumed it had to be something else so I tried to make it walk into the cat flap for ages by standing in front of it with the fishing rod equiped. Sometimes I get stuck on really obvious things.

Sometimes I get stuck on really obvious things.

I had the exact same problem. Me and my mates couldn't work out the problem until we went through the village with fine-tooth comb. Part of me knew that i had to fish, but i put it off as fishing was so...reeehhh...

To be honest i enjoyed the fishing in OoT more.

PS: I has Master sword. :3

[Shadow_Keeper]

Think I was somewhat lucky with that cat part. Happened by sheer fluke I'm sure of it.


Theres several boss fights I actually found pretty fun, although it was also pretty easy which was a shame, especially with the final boss (which although was pretty fun, it was pathetically easy :().


May start another save file in a few weeks mind, got nothing left to do on there now so started to see what Red Steel is like.

[Jay]

PS: I has Master sword. :3:3 me too now!

[n00bzilla]

Just about to go into the sky. 30hours so far. Oocoos are weird. I love all the new items especially That flail thing like the bad guys in Link to the past and Link's awakening have

[the last sheika]

Completed it last night. I don't see why all the reviews said it was the hardest Zelda game so far... I'd say it's easier than all the 2d ones, and MQ.

[Jay]

So...enjoy it?

I'd be further if I could stop fishing so often...

[the last sheika]

So...enjoy it?

I'd be further if I could stop fishing so often...
Heh. I only fished when the story required you to.

Now to finish the cave of ordeals... I think I do pretty well, getting to the 43rd floor with only two fairies and 13 heart pieces.

[Joe G]

Crappers! I'm really stuck on a really stupid thing!; The howling on that tri-force jobby before what I hope is the master sword, I'm sure I'm hitting the notes right but it won't accept it! HELP! (I've tried so many times). :(

(I've tried so many times). :(You have to do it just right. Try remembering the first few bars, playing them perfect, then going back to remember the next few, howling them out (copying the previous howl displayed) and so on until you're done.

[Mr.L.Xp]

Warning - Possible Mega Spoiler.


In Kakariko village there is a Goron in the supplies shop. He will ask for a donation to advance his store. After donating 3000 rupees in total (You can make many trips), he will open a shop in Hyrule City. You can then buy the Magic Armor for 700 rupees in the shop at Hyrule City. Meaning you will need the 1000 rupee wallet (collect all bugs & give them to bug lady in Hyrule City)

Yes but it must take AGES to find all those goddam bugs, I've got 2 so far I think. I'll never get teh magik armour :(

I have about 8. I'm pretty sure there's a guide to them in one of the FAQs on GFAQs. I think for things like this, using a guide is alright.

Good point. I don't think I'll be playing anymore tonight because my mums angry how much I'm playing and I should probably do some coursework :( But tomorrow bright and early that twilight mirror is mine!

[sushi.]

They're actually really easy to find once you figure out how they're placed and if you just go looking (and listening) solely for them. I'm only missing two.

[Jay]

I have one.

I've seen LOADS...but you cant grab em as a Wolf.

[JonathanEx]

I only just got it so I'm not far, but I've just entered Kakariko Village before realising I've done nothing but Zelda for about 5 hours straight at that point, so I decided to take a break. Mainly as it was 11pm.

It costs less if you pay for the bridge and then do the hotspring water quest (speak to the Goron Elder sitting outside Malo's). Complete that quest, and buy hotspring water from the Goron now setup in South Hyrule Square, and take it to the Goron outside the South Gate. When he's broken the barrier, go back to Malo's and the 2000 rupee donation for the shop becomes 200.

[sushi.]

School is done, so it is time to pick up Zelda again.

I bet $5 (or whatever currency is useful to you) that as soon as I pick it up I figure out whatever it was I couldn't figure out after 5 hours last time. That always happens. Gwargh.

How do I pay to fix the bridge? I have a full wallet...

Because we can.
Anyways I can't really be bothered to start the Arbiters Grounds yet so I think I'm gonna go for that magic armor as expensive as it is. The fishing (only just tried it) in the fishing hole is absolutely fantastic and a definite OoT beater. I'd really like to complete it fir Christmas and I probably will.:)

[the last sheika]

I now just need to donate 200 rupees to start the shop, and find 15 more bugs. to get the magic armour, and just because I can, there is actually no spoiler here

but there is here: Midna's real form is weird as hell

[Mr.L.Xp]

but there is here: Midna's real form is weird as hell

Not that far yet. I beg anyone not to be so cruel as to post pictures of her. Even under spoiler tags (Not that im saying that anyone here would do that)

Also : If you hit a chicken enough, you get to play as it for afew seconds!

Also2:Out of interest, why are we putting spoiler tags on things that aren't really spoilers ?Because its cool, like those little black pads that reveal whats underneath when heated. :3

[Joe G]

Massive problem! Well not that massive but pretty darn big, heres the deal; I'm trying to shift teh bridge from teh desert to Eldin area (with no bridge to castle) get teh magic armor (I've got loads of bugs now:)) But (theres always a but) I don't seem to have the appropriate portal near said broken bridge so I can't get the bridge there. I've spent a good long time running around the area to find the fight with the dark beasts (tis easy with master word) but I really can't find it. Please give me some ideas/tip/solutions- which side of bridge which area, as I really need this for multiple side quests and pure convenience. Cheers if you help me. Oh and I'm hoping to finish Arbiters Grounds tonight if I get my English course work done (bastard great expectation and Dickens!)

I'm meant to be doing a Great Expectations essay right now...

Anyway, which side is it that you're struggling to find the portal? if it's at the broken bridge side... well, you should have had one before it broke. So it's the other side... I didn't activate that portal until well after the Arbiter Grounds, so maybe you have to complete that first.

Also, I'm very angry- I've got the magic armour, and to charge it up for a Cave of Ordeals run, I went... well, to the cave of ordeals. 45 floors down, with 500 rupees and one fairy still left, I thought I may as well use it then. Died on floor 49 D:

[Mr.L.Xp]

You guys got off easy with the coursework.

I got Romeo & Juliet AND Of Mice and Men due in on Tuesday!

Plus what does the Magic amour do? Answer in spoilers please.

Which other side?, please specify (field side or goron side, I don't see how it's the gorons side) Oh well I'll complete Arbiter Grounds and see what happens. And maybe I'll have to pay for the repairs.

The magic armor : makes you invincible basically, but as you wear it your rupees drain away so its pretty expensive.

Good lord! Does it work on bosses? Whats the rupee drain rate per second?

No idea I'm afraid and what I know is just what I've heard.

[Elbowman-iac]

I suck at Zelda xD

Im in the Fire Temple still...Im not stuck as such it just took me a while to Figure out how to get from certain magnetic bits with the Iron boots and stuff.

[Mr.L.Xp]

No idea I'm afraid and what I know is just what I've heard.

Alright.
Well im a tad stuck at the moment.
The solution is probably very simple and im probably putting too much thought
into this.

How do i reach Aeshi to get to the Snowy Mountains after the Desert Temple place. I've got her red land mark on the map, but her location doesn't seem to be on solid ground.

[the last sheika]

Piemongoose: Oh, you don't teleport a bridge there. You have to pay in Kakariko town shop for it to be repaired.

Mr.L.Xp: The magic armour drains your rupees at about one per second, and for every heart's worth of damage, about 10 disappear.

Mr. L.Xp (Again): Go to Zora's Domain, right down near the waterfall, there's a path that just melted.

So why does it let me teleport the bridge there? (now I'm confused)

[the last sheika]

So why does it let me teleport the bridge there? (now I'm confused)
There are two broken bridges in that area: The one linking Hyrule Field to Hyrule Castle town West must be payed for. The one linking Hyrule Field to the northen path thing is teleported.

EDIT: I now have all four bottles, and am currently getting ready to go on my most well equipped Cave of Ordeals run yet: Four fairy-filled bottles, Magic armour charged up with 1000 rupees, full ammo and health.
I need a bit of practice learning when to use magic armour... at the moment, I'm waiting till I have just a few hearts left, and no fairies, then using it, but that tends to be in the very last floors when the enemies take about 5 minutes to beat per floor, meaning it's all gone pretty soon.

[terrorbite]

Haha. I'm stuck trying to learn that back slice move. This doesn't bode well for later on in the game :D

Edit: Finally! Jesus.

I'm in the 4th dungeon now, I think they've done a better job on it than the egyptian style one in wind waker.

I also wish i could snowboard again. Probably can if you warp back.

[the last sheika]

Yes, I think you get a heart piece if you beat him in a race.

[n00bzilla]

The last boss is pretty disappointing although they put that sword clash thing in from the old gamecube tech demo!*swoon* I love little bits like that. Way too easy though. The swordfighting needed to be more hectic
Magic armour needs to just look awesome and reduce damage. They could make it harder to get. I'de rather that and be able to walk around and look awesome in it without it turning grey and shit and being like you're wearing iron boots.

[eidderf]

Need some help, these spoilers refer to the last dungeon, although there is nothing there that can really ruin the game for you:

So I'm inside the castle and am in the chandelier room, at this point I can only go into one door. So I go in the room and defeat the knight in armour and then a chest appears. Now to get to the chest I need to climb up platforms which are raised by lighting the candles around the room, the thing is there are only 2 candles to light and I can't reacht the chest unless I light them all. Anyone know what to do?

[Jay]

I completed it on Thursday night.

Epic.

Loved the last boss...although the beast stage somewhat annoyed me.

There are three candles. The third just happens to be lit and on the other side of the room.

Yes but I need to light another to raise the platform, do you know where this one is?

[terrorbite]

Heh. I'm only in the ice mansion thing atm. I'm trying not to rush through the game. Wanna savour it, especially since I'll probably pack up my gamecube for good when I've completed it.

[the last sheika]

LIAR!

Who said you needed to light the third?

If you really can't do it...
You have to use the Gale boomerang to put out the torch that is already burning when you enter the room.

If anyone cares, Edge are giving away the most kickass poster of TP this month. I don't even have TP and I'm putting it up. It roxxors your soxxors that much.

Maybe because the first five hours are MEH

[the last sheika]

I haven't been playing, pretty much just started. Although I got it a month ago.
Maybe because the first five hours are MEHYa, but the last 35 hours (40 hours is how long it took me to pretty much complete everything in the game) are great.

I'd say the first 1/8 of a Zelda game is always rubbish. The 3D ones, anyway.

OOT: Pretty much everything up to the second dungeon was rubbish, imo.
MM: Getting Human again was annoyingly slow and boring.
WW: Everything up to the first dungeon- there's only one bit of fighting before then!
TP: It only really picks up at the second dungeon. Too much story 'til then.

[evan223]

For you die hard Zelda fans (http://weeklyad.target.com/target/Default.aspx?action=browsepagedetail&ref=/target/Default.aspx?action=browsepagespread&rapid=340553&listingid=-2094057187&storeid=2395785&pagenumber=20). :( whish i had some money left

[Norbington]

TP: It only really picks up at the second dungeon. Too much story 'til then.

I would have to agree... except for the too much story stuff. The story is what makes Zelda games all the more awesome.

I've just gotten to the fourth temple and i would say it really picks up after the third temple when you get the ability to warp around the map and turn into a wolf whenever.


Has anyone else found that you literally don't notice the passage of time when playing? Seriously, i got home at 8 today and played for 4 1/2 straight hours before my sister came in and told me what time it was. I thought I had only been playing for an hour or two at most... Scary stuff...

[terrorbite]

Finished that ice mansion level and discovered I need to walk through that sacred grove area again to get to the next level, WHICH IS FULL OF THOSE FUCKING "NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS RIP-OFF SKELETONS" WHICH SEEM TO APPEAR EVERY FIVE SECONDS.

Im 11 (or there abouts not more than12) hours in and at Lakebed Temple, whats taking you so long? I really love this game, and I like the way nintendo has added a few OOT nostalgia moments, such ass the horse grass, and the references to the three stones.

It had been said it's about 50 years after OOT, but it seems more like a few centuries to me.

[cyber_turnip]

I'm 20 hours in and just got my swimming Zora suit thing. The time's got some extra hours on it though because I left the game paused whilst I went to play trivial persuit with the family on the day after Boxing Day... I didn't realise paused gameplay added to play time.

I'm stuck on Ganon at the moment, he's in his pig form I've got him twice but now he keeps doing the warping thing, so I changed into the wolf but now none of my attacks seem to work, still it's a good final boss so far.

[Ringodadog]

When he charges and is nearly at you, hold down A (in wolf form) and do a sumo thing to knock him over. Then attack his belly. :)

[terrorbite]

Can anyone help me out? I'm in the Temple of Time and I've just got the thing which lets you move statues. I've got the big statue to the room where there are all those spinning saw things going round in a circle, and I can see where I'm supposed to put the aforementioned spoilertagged thing, but it seems I need to raise a platform once its on it, but I can't work out how to do that.

Anyone?

Edit: Nm, worked it out. I keep forgetting you can hit things with the statue

[Boom]

Currently up to the first dungeon/temple i think, got 4 monkeys now, just got that wind boomerang thing, to say i'd never played a zelda game before its pretty good. =P

[dansam]

Im 11 (or there abouts not more than12) hours in and at Lakebed Temple, whats taking you so long?

I'm exploring Hyrule field as much as possible. I've found 3 pieces of Heart so far...

EDIT: Now I'm escorting the Zora Prince, 15 hours in.

[evan223]

4 peices of hearts, 12:59 hours in and stuck in Lakebed Temple, im in the room with the big chandeleer (sp) in the centre and a big stairway, the room is circular and at the bottom is like a pool of water with fish in it, and i don't know what to do.

[RevJ42]

I'm just touched 20 hours, and am at the Gerudo dessert type thing, and just beat the mini-boss guy. Bit easy for my liking though, but I love the Grand Theft Boar bit. Midna's starting to piss me off, though. I less than three master sword, but that puzzle before it was just... so out of place. Took me about 10 minutes, argh! So far it's been brilliant. I'm guessing there's another dungeon for each of those people in the bar, so including desert, 4 more dungeons, then final dungeon?

[Super Weebl]

Just jumped of the Great Bridge of Hyrule on fire, then did the flying bit, this game gets better after every temple:notworthy

Sorry for missing out spoiler tags

[RevJ42]

Please use spoiler tags, although I have no idea what you're talking about

[Norbington]

It involves water :eng101:

PS, I have just finished the 4th temple in the Gerudo Desert. Best boss yet IMO with all the Spinner action and giant floating heads! Rev was right about the little boss though. He was RUBBISH!

[Super Weebl]

The bosses have been surprisingly easy, the first two main ones hardly attack

[Norbington]

Hmm yeah that happened in the windwaker a lot too... I don't think any of those bosses were any challenge...

The last bosses I had trouble with were in Majora's Mask... Bloody Giant Fish >_<

[terrorbite]

Heh. We seem to be going a bit crazy with the spoiler tags. Maybe they should be used on occasional words that could genuinely spoil the story, rather than whole blocks of text that are here nor there in the first place.

[evan223]

The bosses have been surprisingly easy, the first two main ones hardly attack

Iv'e found most Zelda bosses easy, except the odd few, like the one with the hands on OOT can't remember his name and the three headed rock thingy in LTTP ( i was young then so he may not be much of a challenge now).

ive just started Lakebed Temple and could somebody please tell me if it's as diabolicly frustraiting as the water temple in OOT?

[Jay]

Yes, it is rather annoying...I'd go as far to say a pain in the arse. Not as bad as the water temple mind.

[Norbington]

Nothing is as bad as THE water temple.

But being A water temple it is reasonably frustrating.

You should get through it pretty easy as long as you thing logically about water and shiznitz...

[the last sheika]

Once I got the hang of how the water travelled, the water temple wasn't so bad. In fact, I felt the same way about the OOT water temple. MM's was the only truely terrible one.

[Boom]

Woot just got a compass.

[the last sheika]

Woot just got a compass.
...Right. Just in case you don't know yet, you need a new one for each dungeon.

[evan223]

Woot! just got the Master sword, it seems really long in this game compared to all the other? or is it just me?

[the last sheika]

Woot! just got the Master sword, it seems really long in this game compared to all the other? or is it just me?
Yes, it is a very long Zelda game, but you do get the master sword later than usual, too.

[eidderf]

I completed the game today and to be honest I wasn't terribly impressed. It just seemed rather unspectular, Ganondorf got stabbed and everything was fine, no sacrifices, no real shocks, no flood, it just sort of fizzled out. Also I was disappointed that Ganon only had the basic pig form and didn't morph and compared to the WW sword fight the TP one was a bit average. Still it was a good game, but I wouldn't say it was the best Zelda.

[Boom]

...Right. Just in case you don't know yet, you need a new one for each dungeon.

Lol ok nevermind then =P.

[Super Weebl]

A mate came round today and I let him have a go (this 'go' was the length of the water temple) so I was very happy!
Doing the desert temple now, doesnt seem to hard

[Norbington]

That's cheating!

[evan223]

I really enjoyed the lakebed temple now that ive actually done it and the size of the boss amazed me, I really liked the frog mini boss. Theres sems to be alot less side quests compared to WW, and TP seems more story driven.

To anyone hows completed the game, is there any reply value? i found it easy to complete OOT and then start again time after time, not so much with WW though (it took awhile to actually get into the game)

[n00bzilla]

Very very true. Good explaination, fizzled out.

[Super Weebl]

The boss fizzles out or the game itself?

[Ozzylator]

I'm up to the bit when you have to dash around Hyrule breathing life into statues to get letters to get to the sky, which I'm looking forward to. Frankly this game is what OoT wanted to be when it grew up. Story is muchly more developed. There are loads of throwbacks to OoT as well, like the boss names Morpheel and Armagohma.

The swordfighting is epic as well. Mortal Draw ftw.

Right, I'm off to the Gerudo desert to see a man about an owl statue.

[eidderf]

The boss fizzles out or the game itself?
Well to be honest the end of the game doesn't keep with the epic feel that the rest of the game, you beat the moblin leader and he goes off so it's just Ganondorf left and his power, there are no signs of things going bad in the rest of the world, no zombie filled towns. This didn't matter too much but it didn't really create the same atmosphere as the other Zeldas. The game itself sort of fizzles out at the end, I mean they had some of a sacrifice with the implied death of midna but then she comes back fine. I mean compared to OOT with crumbling castle and more evil looking ganon beast it just didn't seem like much. To be honest I still don't think this is the adult Zelda everyone was expecting, its getting there though.
When I said fizzled out though I was refering to the fact that all that happens is you stab Ganondorf and he dies, although he doesn't even fall down, and Midna leaves, it just sort of ended without any sort of big bang that you expect.

[Slurp]

Just completed the Goron Mines (shockingly easy boss, didn't manage to land a single hit on me), is there really only one temple left!?? Say it ain't so!

[Super Weebl]

One temple with a fused shadow at the end, but not the last temple, so

it aint so

[Boom]

Wow diababa was alot easier than i expected it to be, just stood out of reach and kept locking on with boomerang =P.

[Slurp]

Kool, cheers Super Weebl

[Norbington]

Just completed the Goron Mines (shockingly easy boss, didn't manage to land a single hit on me), is there really only one temple left!?? Say it ain't so!

Lolers

No. There will be no twists or nothing forcing you to go to several more dungeons. Those blank spaces on your map are just there to make it look bigger.

I have just done the Temple of Time. It was overly easy but the boss was still fun. The dominion rod is AWESOME.

[Slurp]

Lol, thought it was fairly unlikely, but Majora's mask did only have about four dungeons if I remember correctly.

When heading up to the Goron villiage type place, you reach a bit where there are loads of moblin fire archers who shoot at you out of little wee crannies. Once you rescue the patriach, the moblins dissapear, and it becomes apparent that the place is full of hawk summoning grasses, and that there is a baby goron up on a ledge. How does one speak to the goron and what are the grasses for??

EDIT: I'd be willing to bet all of my moneys that the fused shadows turn out to be a hat for Midna, but not just any old hat, nono, it's gonna be a hat so fashionable that it allows him to TAKE OVER THE WORRRRRLD, and allows him (really, really irritatingly) to sit on you with his bare arse for all eternity!
Am I right??

[RevJ42]

Isn't Midna a she? Though I like your thinking; Link becomes so twisted by his own search for the perfect green tunic he cannot resist but help her on her quest to dominate the world with threads and sequins! Like Priscilla Queen of the Desert on Horseback!

[Super Weebl]

Nobodies mentioned this yet but the Spinner rawks!

[evan223]

Nobodies mentioned this yet but the Spinner rawks!

It could of been better by allowing you to aim with the wii-mote instead of the anologue stick, and i haven't really found much use for it as im quite accurate with out it.

[Haroshi]

I have only just realised that the shaman in kakariko is a man :shock:
And i'm nearing the end of the game.

[Corn_Fest]

Just got the bridge.

...must catch up...

[RevJ42]

I just got the ball and chain. Destruction FTW! I'm actually really enjoying the whole snowpeak bit; that snowboarding bit was better and deeper than some snowboarding games, and the design of this "dungeon"-y thing is quite good.

[GRiM]

Just beat the game.... Gamecube version.. after 37 hours of play...
Got quite a few side quests done too... even bought the Magic armor.

I'm waiting for Phantom Hourglass now!

There are loads of throwbacks to OoT as well, like the boss names Morpheel and Armagohma.

And the legendary Hyrule Fisherman (Photo in the fishing hole , it's the fisherman from OoT.)

Call the hawk and send it to eat the baby, then take over the world.

Clearly I'm dawdling then, cause I think I'm at about 42 hours and only just at the City In The Sky. I've been doing side quests at the same time, and just generally exploring though.

Although if it still counts gameplay time while you're paused, that would explain a lot.

[Norbington]

Anyone??

Clawshot.

[Slurp]

You saying I need the clawshot or are you just saying random words at me??

[Ozzylator]

Phallus.

Bollard

[the last sheika]

Incomprehensible.

[Ringodadog]

Chickens.

[terrorbite]

I think that's enough thread derailment :)

Slurp, if there's any hawk grass near the goron village its certainly not required to progress through the game, so I wouldn't worry about it. It'll probably be used to get a heart piece or rupies somehow.

[Norbington]

There's some vines on the ledge that the litte goron is standing on.

You can use the clawshot to get up there and get nice stuff.

P.S. I just got the double clawshot which makes me feel a bit like spiderman >_<

A very slow spiderman, yes.

[Norbington]

I said a bit :)

[RevJ42]

I just finished snowpeak. That ending with the hearts made me LAUGH OUT LOUD. How many items are in the game? And do we get a cape of roc style item?

Read it as "Snipper" sorry, thought he was refering to the hawkmask thingy, but yeah the spinner is cool

Snipper? Hawkmask? I have no idea what you're talking about, unless you mean hawkeye, which I keep meaning to go and get.

[RevJ42]

I'm playing the Western Shootout bit now. This single part has transformed the game from a great game into a brilliant game for me.

[Super Weebl]

Which comes higher? Brilliant or Great?:p
Played that part yesterday, loved it, now doing the owl statue part,hope it isn't like the triforce on Wind Waker.

[cyber_turnip]

This thread's annoying me, I want to chip in but I'm scared that I'll ruin all the suprises if I read the spoiler tags. :( Guess I'd better hurry up and finish the game and come back, eh?

[GRiM]

Yes,

It shouldn't take long...

Buy a six pack of red bull and play continuosly until saturday... you'll be done by then.

[Norbington]

Have just completed it in a smidge under 41 hours.

Overall the game was AWESOME. However, me gots a few quibbles with it.

The game seemed to be a lot more plot driven than previous zelda games with link being pushed immediatly on to the next temple after just completing one... I miss the countless side quests that are in it for no reason except for a bit of fun. Where was the bit where I have to collect Cuccoos for a pretty girl who's allergic to them or the little quests that involve 17 different actions over a period of three days whilst copiously abusing your ability to time travel?! Nowhere to be seen... I'm not that bothered as obviously the game is mainly about the story and how awesome link is but it would have been nice to have a little more substance outside of that.

Also it was dreadfully easy... I should have to use at least one pink fairy when fighting Ganon in all his multitude of different stages but I found that all i needed was a bit of red chu jelly to restore half my health... and I didn't really NEED that as he didn't land another hit on me after I'd used it... oh well.


One last thing is that I would have loved to have at least a little bit of reward for finishing the game even if it were like WW where I got the ability to start a new game WEARING MY PYJAMAS ZOMG! However, I got utterly nothing except the fact that I somehow travelled back in time to the beginning of the last dungeon like link always seems to do...

But all in all it kept me blissfully entertained for 41 hours and what little problems it has are greatly overshadowed by the sheer AWESOMENESS that is the Legend of Zelda.

[CoX]

I'm about 10/11 hours into it now. Been working too much to play it extensively, but I decided to dedicate tonight to it.

Oh man, what a game. Its beautiful.

Just got the water armour and am about to head into the Zora Water Temple bit. Wish me luck!

[evan223]

What's the replay value for this Zelda, I could play OOT countless times and enjoy it every time.

I've just done Snowpeak Ruins with a time of around 24 hours. Love the ball and chain

Is Faron Woods supposed to be the Lost Woods?? there's the odd clue that it is (the song that plays while chasing the puppet master dude is the same song to find saria, and in the temple all the kokari emerald symbals) but there's no sign of the Deku tree or the kokari, where have they gone?? they are in WW, well the kokari are now koroks.

Has any one else noticed the lack of octoroks?

[Nali]

I noticed as the puppet master runs I think he makes the same sound as the koroks did in WW

[Cheeky Prophet]

This makes me sad because I've been playing for like 10 hours altogether now and I'm only at Death Mountain. :( I suck at Zelda, but I keep trying because I love the game so much. It takes me so long to get anywhere because I get scared, start freaking out, and cut the grass instead of doing things that get me places. I know I won't get past the water temple, because I never get past the water temple on any of them. So yeah. I suck at Zelda. But I've been playing and failing at it since I was really young, so it's sort of tradition to see how far I can get before it gets too scary.

Anyway, yeah. I'm stuck at the foot of death mountain, because I can't find the last spirit thingy before I go up. And every time I go looking for it, I get crushed by falling rocks. Help? I don't know if I can take the stress of looking for it anymore! :)


Oh, and adjusting to the Wii is making it so much harder (even if it is cooler)! I still have to think about which button is which. I miss my good ol' N64.

[lachie 7]

Arbiters grounds can kiss my arse. >:(

[dansam]

I just got the Spinner in Arbiter's Grounds

Onto the boss - Stallord!

[Norbington]

Onto the boss - Stallord!


Awesome boss!

[Boom]

Is Stallord that big skeleton thing?

[Ozzylator]

Finished! Kicked the Great Evil Shit's arse. Then went fishing.

[RevJ42]

I just found the fishing hole. I dunno, maybe I was expecting too much, but... meh. Just meh. Maybe that's because I'm comparing it to the rest of the game, what with the rest of the game being incredible. Speaking of which, back to main game!

[J E S S I E emo]

im stuck in the arbiters grounds

after i fought the stalfos with bombs i didnt get a small key and i need the key to get to the boss so can u help me out somebady

the fishing hole is fun and its really easy to catch a hylian loach(with the frog lewer/sinking lewer)

[RevJ42]

1: Use spoiler tags, although that last bit is nonsensical and incorrect.
2: Please don't tell us where to get cheats/guides. We know where to get cheats. We're clever like that.

(ooh, look at me all authoritative! Like I wasn't a minus just a week or so ago)

[J E S S I E emo]

ok kool watever


did u not just read about how i need help????

[RevJ42]

Yes, I did.

I am not going to give you that help, firstly because I think that the $100 you pay for Zelda is for the satisfaction of solving the puzzles, and secondly because you can't demand help; you can't bite the hand that feeds you (or could very easily let you starve). Someone else might help you, but if you need help I suggest you don't ask us, you ask a FAQ.

Please, take it from me, I learnt the hard way: head for beginners right now, and when you come back, use correct spelling and punctuation. No, I'm not putting shit on you; I'm trying to help you. I spent almost a year as a minus for a couple of stupid mistakes early on and it meant that almost no-one listened to me, and it sucked. Go to beginners and leech some rep.

</thread derailment>Anyway, I thought I'd try to finish it tonight but I just got sick of Zant's dungeon. And the game had me so well! It better have an incredible ending, it's almost lost my attention. Almost.

[GRiM]

Magic armor is pretty cool but If you need the cash for other stuff, don't get it... It's a big money waster... Your money continously counts down and you lose like 40-50 rupees when you get hit.

[eidderf]

Yes, I did.

It's worth it for the boss at the end of that dungeon, a very different boss, also there is a great cut-scene after that.

[Boom]

Just got to Goron Mines, glad i've finally got my horse back.

[J E S S I E emo]

the magic armor isnt that useful its not like ur really gonna need it but its just one of those things that u want

[Mr Salek]

Can someone give me a clue as to how to thaw out the Zoras?

[J E S S I E emo]

sence im stuck in the arbiters grounds ive been trying to take care of some side missions and go treasure/bug hunting,and im startin to run out of places to go.Well apperantley i suck at zelda but its still an awesome game.i`ve played for about 43 hrs and ive gotten nowhere and for some reason i cant find anymore dig caverns my bro found a really big one but i dont know where to find it at so i`v been searching and thats it.

But i dont understand how the lack of a small key that your supposed to obtain after blowing up a stalfos is a puzzle its more of a glitch that makes me have to start the whole game over again

[Slurp]

Can someone give me a clue as to how to thaw out the Zoras?
Well, I went to get hot spring water and had very BIG spurt of luck- Ignore the post below, the poster is special needs

It's worth it for the boss at the end of that dungeon, a very different boss, also there is a great cut-scene after that.

I didnt pay $100 for the game i paid like $40 and i got a twenty dollar stratedy guide but im not using it unless i get stuck or after i beat it the first time and the stratagy guide cant help me with my missing key problem

yay i have 1 plus

[Joe G]

I'm calm. Sorry I had bit of an outburst/thread derailment. Anyway I beat the game today :) Yay! 39.5 hours which I don't think is bad considering I did a ridiculous amount of exploring. I think it was a little too easy and Ganondorf was a walk in the park compared to OoT in my opinion. Shame there weren't many wolf/human for specific enemies. I think it was great but could have been more great. Hype over big franchises these days...

I am currently on thePalace of Twilight but today I couldn't be arsed to do it so just went exploring and bug hunting.

Question:

The eldin bridge, there is a cave quite close to it that leads to a fire temple esqe place. Does anyone else what it is?

*deciphers*

Yes, that's the one.

[J E S S I E emo]

ok um do u need help on it or were u just wonderin cus ive already been threw there also u need the clawshot

[Boom]

Could someone tell me when i get the clawshot please?

[J E S S I E emo]

u get it in the water temple after fighting the deku toad

[Boom]

Ok thanks. Is the water temple the one after the fire temple?

[Jay]

Yes.

[RevJ42]

Sigh... I tried to warn them...

Ah well.

I just finished the Twilight Temple. Zant was a pretty crappy boss. Fun, but too easy. Though most of the bosses have been like that. I'd much prefer the bosses to be nigh-impossible, like in Metroid, but that's probably just me. The end bit was good, with the swordplay. Oh, and fuck you, jessie emo: I didn't want to know that there's magic armour in the game. :mad: PLEASE, PLEASE use spoiler tags in future.

Can anyone help me out?

I'm on the last level (Hyrule Castle). I've gone down the left side (outside) and got the small key. I've gone down the right side and got the map. I've entered the main part, and used the clawshot to get up and fight the armoured guy in that room, but now I'm stuck where to go next.

I can get up where the chest appears after you beat that guy (although there was a small part of the platform I couldn't raise, so I kinda cheated and stepped backwards onto the biggest part as it was being raised, to get up and get that chest).

Now I don't know what to do. Is there anything worth getting in the cemetary outside? The map shows a few chests there, but I suspect they're rupies and a heart piece maybe?

Edit: I'm playing the Gamecube version, so mirrored and whatnot.

Have you got to where the chest is? If so, it should be pretty obvious. Down one corridor is a locked door that I can't figure out how to open. Down the other is a locked door that you open by lighting the four candles in the room in the right order, or something like that. Go through the door, there's a cutscene which lets you get a key, and there's a locked door near there which lets you into the tower.

I think...

[terrorbite]

Yeah, I think I tried that torch lighting bit but thought it must be something I had to come back to later, since I'm pretty sure I tried all possible combinations (I noticed also that some stay lit longer than others).

Does it show you anywhere which order to light them in, or do you just do the longest lasting first so that all 4 stay lit by the end? I tried that repeatedly to no avail.

[Norbington]

Keep trying!

Down one corridor is a locked door that I can't figure out how to open.

Note the mysteriously placed picure frames in that corridor with overly large string holding them up... suspicious.

[Jay]

Sigh... I tried to warn them...

Ah well.

I just finished the Twilight Temple. Zant was a pretty crappy boss. Fun, but too easy. Though most of the bosses have been like that. I'd much prefer the bosses to be nigh-impossible, like in Metroid, but that's probably just me. The end bit was good, with the swordplay. Oh, and fuck you, jessie emo: I didn't want to know that there's magic armour in the game. :mad: PLEASE, PLEASE use spoiler tags in future.Really freaked me out how such an all powerful villian turned out to be such a scrawny worm, who was nothing without his masters power. Sounds stupid but...meh.

[J E S S I E emo]

i just beat thesand temple and the spinner battle with the stullord was freakin awesome!!

Stullord?

[Norbington]

Stollord?

[terrorbite]

Wtf?!

I completed the game (Underwhelming final bosses, and crappy ending. Why do so many amazing games put too little effort into the end cutscenes? Argh.), and after the traditional "The End" message, it went back to the title screen without giving me the opportunity to save!

I'm sure previous zeldas let you save. Now the game still feels incomplete (kids not back in village, peace still not restored in hyrule etc). The last level is as if I haven't done any of it (well, no more since I last saved yesterday).

Very unhappy :/

Yes it's the last dungeon, from once you get in the castle, that really lets TP down. They could have done a lot more and been a bit more inventive but they stuck with the old ganon/ganondorf boss and didn't put enough effort into the last cut-scene. It's a pity since the rest of the game is amazing.

I didn't like how it was all fragmented.

Fight "evil" zelda
Cutscene
Fight pig dude
Cutscene
Fight on horseback
Cutscene
Final fight
Cutscene
First half of credits
Cutscene
Last half of credits
Bugger all

The whole last level felt way too easy too. As you get near the top of the tower, the enemies should get harder and harder, but it was just a couple of those lizards in every room pretty much

Heh. I hope people aren't "put off" by my rants here. Its still an awesome game. One of the best I've ever played, but from entering hyrule castle onwards, as eidderf said, I kinda felt let down. That's just me (and eidderf :)) though.

[Ringodadog]

I know what you mean, I beat the final boss without dying on my first try. If anyone can't work out how to beat Zelda after playing WW or OoT they should be shot.:slash:

in pretty much every zelda game it sends you back to your last save

[Ozzylator]

It's definitely acknowledged the end of the game, as your rupees (for instance) remain as they were when you killed teh endboss.

[Haroshi]

If you want to try some Twilight Princess glitches, this Youtube user (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=SexyZora19) has found loads.

(I especially like the postman killing glitch, I was just talking to my friends about how funny it would be if you could kill him. What a coincidence :p)

[Norbington]

It's all backwards >_< (although not for all you fancy Wii people)

[evan223]

Just wondering but is there any way to get into the first house on the left in Orden village?

[RevJ42]

Just finish'd.

Meh ending, yeah (way too easy, normal Midna is fairly creepy), but watching the credits reminded me of what a brilliant game this was. Best Zelda Ever? Hmm... I dunno, really. I'll have to think about it.

EDIT: I just realised something... why does the ending feel so rushed? Haven't we been waiting for 3-4 or whatever years for this game? Ah well, it was worth it.

[Slurp]

Just been to and left Hyrule Castle after the Lakebed temple, and realized that I don't understand what's going on.
WARNING: Fairly major spoiler ahead
Right, I know I really should have paid more attention to the early storyline and such, and that this is a really n00bish question, and for that I apologise. If the Zelda that we saw surrender is the princess of the twilight realm, why the hell is Hrule castle so innacessable (before the evil pyramid thing), why is everyone in the town telling you that there's a bad feeling around if the twilight princess surrendered, why is Zelda dressed up as a tramp thing and why do peoples not notice when they're covered in twilight???

Zelda is not the twilight princess. The regular world and the twilight world are two separate things. I could be recalling this wrong, but I think Zelda surrendered to Zant because it was either let him kill all of her people, or surrender and let them "live" as spirits when the twilight takes over.

The people don't know they are in twilight, because they can't actually be in the twilight world. They're kinda in limbo. Link can visit it, cause he was chosen by the gods to be able to do so.

Thank ye Terrorbite, but if the Twilight and normal world are two different things, then what the hell was Zelda doing in the Twilight world??? And again, why is no one allowed to access the castle?? Remember though, Limbo ceased to have ever existed some time ago :eng101: lol

Like Link, Zelda has been chosen by the gods and can exist in the twilight world. You'll see why the castle was sealed off later on the game.

I don't mean sealed off by the triangle of doom, but rather by the guards. Cheers anyways

[Ringodadog]

That's generally what guards do though isn't it? Protect important people!

[RevJ42]

What are you guys talking about? There was a plot? Seriously, especially at the end with Midna going crazy (if she's so super crazy powerful, why didn't she fight all the bosses??) I had no idea what was going on with the plot. I don't even remember why I went to Hyrule in the first place. I just wanna hit stuff with bomb arrows!

[terrorbite]

Because Link is the Hero. He is destined to.

[Norbington]

Um she only became that powerful after getting the fused shadows which Zant went and stole after the lakebed temple.

[Slurp]

Just got, for the first time, seriously stuck. You'll never guess which puzzle deep in the heart of Faron woods it is. I however, unlike most of my friends, am determined not to cheat

[Boom]

Just got to clearing the zoma domain area of light bug things after 15 hours =P.

Oh come on the puzzle sucks and is there for no reason but to infuriate people.

Think about how much you want The Master Sword!

[Slurp]

Sat down after school, picked up the wiimote and managed to do the puzzle in about three mins- WITHOUT A GUIDE

I thought that that puzzle was about 50% skill and 50% luck. Bit crap really. Glad your enjoying it slurp.

[Ozzylator]

No luck at all. You just have to think about it a bit. My advice for the nigh-on impossible puzzle? Plan it backwards from the target. Think how you would get the statues onto the target squares if they were just one step away. Then a step away from that. And so on.

Enjoying it!? I'm goddamn gay for it! I shall write a feature length tale of my love for this game on the 'morro, though y'all may find it a bit boring/pointless/slow/irritating/gay

[cyber_turnip]

I found that puzzle suprisingly easy, it only took me about 2 minutes. I did have to put a bit of thinking in but to be honest I think I just got lucky.

[the last sheika]

My people invented that puzzle, so I did it in 5 minutes.

[Slurp]

Just got to the desert place, which turns out to be an abandoned prison, which is just great. Please say it's not like the bottom of the well, that place scares me still, though I'm not sure why

[dansam]

I had to use a guide for the first time in the game. I got stuck on the 2nd block puzzle in the Yeti's House. Turned out the solution wasn't as complex as I thought...

Oh well, I've now completed the House, the piss-easy-but-enjoyable Temple of Time and got Ilia's memory back. I loved the Hidden Village. :)

[J E S S I E emo]

well i beat the gameand the ending was horrable i dont understand the part where ganondorf is dying and then it shows zant and he tips his head and then it makes a broken neck sound.I also dont understand why midna broke the freakin mirror they could have made a sequel out of that mirror but nooooo midna`s dumbass had to go and break the mirror.Good game bad ending

[seaempty]

I don't know if this has been mentioned before (it probably has, and I did have a little search through the thread, but meh), but having been disappointed by the lack of magic in this game (compared to other Zeldas), I noticed on the box that in one screenshot under the hearts there is clearly a green magic meter bar. I'm guessing it was in the game at some point in the development. Or maybe it refers to something else.

There's a yellow bar that appears under the hearts, which is how much oil is left in your lantern when you've got it out.

[Jay]

Yeah, but the lanturn isnt equiped to any of the buttons in the screenshot if memory serves.

[seaempty]

And the bar is definately green - I did think it was the lantern at first too, but the bar's too long too.

[J E S S I E emo]

was he under water becuase it might have been the air gauge

[the last sheika]

was he under water becuase it might have been the air gauge
No. He was fighting the Darknut in the Temple of Time

It was probably originally needed for some of the fancy sword moves, or something.
