Thanks!!
Of course I knew that! How many times I was just running back and forth between the inner heart of Skyview Temple and the small wooden chair next to the tree just outside the temple.
I was so amused when I found what these odd chairs do exactly (it was the first time I got to the Sealing Temple, on my first play through). I gotta admit, my most embarrassing moment in Skyward Sword was in the Hero Mode... Game Over thanks to the two Deku Babas you meat right after landing in the Sealing Grounds. Never again am I going to try and hit (a/two) Deku babas with my sword... Skyward Strike all the way!

Good luck to y'all in hero mode. :) I need to get off my arse, beat OoT and then do Master Quest. idk what to do in regards to that missing heart piece though. I was thinking of back tracking all the heart pieces I'm slightly unsure about getting (though I have a great memory and looking at a list, I remember getting all the ones I've been able to get, so...) which would be like...mini-game pieces, I guess. I might have run out of money and went off to get more, then forgot to go back? idk. Bombchu bowling, here I come!

I haven't actually played too many games, I got the 2nd one (I forget what it's called but Zelda starts off sleeping) free when I bought my Gameboy as a kid but I could never beat it, too difficult. I got OoT and was obsessed, so I got Twilight Princess and now Skyward Sword but I still need that Wii Motion Plus accessory..

Tehe, welcome!

Thanks, Sydian. :'D I'll need it. I think I already lost count of how many times I GO'd. |D Bumbchu bowling was actually pretty easy. Once you figured out where to release your Bombchu, it wasn't hard to get 3/3.

I heard of many people who got the game, but still needed the wii motion plus. =/ But don't worry, it's worth the wait~ It'll be another three weeks before I can play again... it's killing me. |D;

Welcome! I hope you get the accessory soon... I was stuck without having one too when I got the game for Christmas, and I cried so hard. XD. SS is awesome! :D

I finished Thieves' Hideout (easy peasy) and then went to go Bombchu bowling. And yeah, it is easy. I never understood why LPers dreaded it haha. But after playing about 10 times, I realized that wasn't the Heart Piece I missed so...gotta check the list again. :( It's none of the bean plant ones, I know cause I checked those a while back. siiiiiiiiiiighhhh.

Welcome, Lapras*! OoT is a great game to be obsessed with js. ;) I wish I could let you borrow my super cool pink Wiimote. It has motion plus.

Sydian I'm jealous D: A pink wiimote? I want one.

I dislike Bombchu bowling, I can't seem to do it. :c

I actually just ordered a Motion Plus today o3o I still need to finish Twilight Princess though. I think I'm in Arbiter's Grounds plus I haven't really had the time to play the Wii recently, being in a house where 3 other people use the TV D:

I wish I could have gotten the Limited Edition Skyward Sword with golden wiimote. BT But the 25th anniversary CD is good as well. 8D I don't know about you, but I listen to it almost constantly. |D;
I saw the "normal" cover of Skyward Sword in stores about 2 months ago. I like the golden one I have, but the "normal" one has more pictures on it. |D Though, to be honest, I prefer the simple, symbolic covers (like Twilight Princess') over the very busy "normal" Skyward Sword cover. : > So yeah, I prefer the golden one.

*grabby hands*

Also wanted to take those paper/carton towers that were advertising the game with me. >_>;;
I can't find any examples in google atm, but they looked pretty. |D
On a 25th anniversary related note, I wish I could have gone to the actual Symphony. As far as I know, Europe shows no signs of additional shows... but that doesn't take away I would have loved to go. :<

Favorite LoZ game: Wind Waker. I thought the graphics were a unique but good change, and the game had its decently intense and challenging moments. Disagree? I guess it could be only my opinion.
Triforce Section: (Power, Wisdom, Courage, or none.) Courage. The one I'm sure a lot of people have gone after, but it is the part of the Triforce that displays me the most. I have been striving for Courage for years now.

I completely geeked out when I was listening to this cd. It was like going through all those years when I first played all those Zelda games again. It was a huge blast from the past. I can't imagine what kind of an impact it would have had on me if I actually heard the Symphony live :0.

On an off note to all of this, I think I am going to attempt the Hero Mode on Skyward Sword and Master Quest soon. I've never tried these super-challenging modes before, so I will consider it a huge accomplishment in my sad video-gaming life if I manage to beat both of these before school starts up again. Haha wish me luck :P

I still need to listen since I'm such an OST nut. v_v And ummmm yeah I totally want that golden Wiimote. lol Let me at it! I think I have decided that I will ask for SS for my birthday in August btw. :) I have a lot of expenses coming up, so I'm not gonna have a moment to spend my money on it. Might as well have someone else spend it for me! :3

Favorite LoZ game: A Link to the Past closely followed by Wind Waker. A Link to the Past was my first (that I finished)... and Wind Waker is my favorite of the 3D ones.

Triforce Section: None? I dunno... I've never really thought about it. :o

I went and got Skyward Sword the day it came out. I have the collector's edition sitting proudly on my shelf next to all my other prized possessions!

I'm currently finishing up Minish Cap... I can't believe I'm the only person I know who has played that one. I've been really enjoying it. I guess when it came out was just a bad time, I dunno.

Minish Cap is a good little pick up and play game, actually! I was really into it back ummm...shoot. I can't remember when it was. Probably the summer before 9th grade. /old man ANYWAY I would sit next to the computer and read a walkthrough and do everything in the walkthrough haha. Like I've said before, I'm bad at 2D Zelda. So no shame in what I did. :P It's an odd and lazy thing to do, but it's nostalgic for me. Last thing I remember doing in MC was being in the Wind Palace or something. I think MC is in my game drawer here...and if not, it's somewhere at my mom's. Maybe I'll restart for old time's sake. :)

You should! It has a weird style that none of the other games have. I guess that's due to it being a bit... weird, lol. I was actually surprised by how much I enjoy it. I found it for really cheap and hadn't played it... so yeah. I actually got stuck a few times in it, which is something I haven't done with Zelda in yeeeears. I love that feeling.

That Kinstone stuff is pretty crazy, but unique haha. I always liked it. I should have looked up a guide for that to know who to exchange with and stuff. And I'm the opposite. I hate getting stuck in any game and I'll get frustrated or bored that I can't just keep going and I'll be done for the day. I've gotten better though, as far as 3D Zelda goes. I figured out the Water Temple in OoT 3D all by myself. No help! And I did Goron Mines in TP by myself too. The latter isn't particularly hard, but still when you're as bad as me, it's an accomplishment!

I never played the Minish Cap, but I always wanted to :C It is so underrated, but I love Vaati lmao. I've watched a lot of clips of the game, but I don't have anything to play it on -w-;

Omg
Sydian
I'm at the Water Temple in Oot right now and I literally just stopped playing it since I'm clueless on what to do. HOW DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT BY YOURSELF? You must have an enormous brain.

I've done all of Skyward Sword by myself, it's a little easier, but I like it that way. I did a few of the last dungeons of TP by myself and the first two, and the first and fire dungeons of OoT. I'm a huge fail when it comes to puzzles, which is stupid since thats all of what LoZ is, but yeah

Aw, I'd let you borrow my copy if I could! GBA games are hard to get ahold of these days. Always faked and stuff. :/ Your best bet would be to find a used game store (not a GameStop, because I don't think they check for fakes, plus I don't think they even offer GBA games anymore).

I'm dummmmbbbbb. I also had a smidge of prior knowledge from doing it before, but I mean, the last time I did the Water Temple was my senior year of high school, so it's been well over two years. The OoT 3D Water Temple has colored areas for each hall that leads to a place to raise/lower the water, so that really helps. I honestly don't know how I did it without help. My boyfriend didn't even believe that I did it without help, lol.

If you did SS without help, but can't do the Water Temple, maybe I won't be that bad at SS! 8D /shot

I normally like to do temples in nonstop runs, but after I got the Longshot, I had had enough of the Water Temple for the day, and I felt that it was a good stopping spot since I could easily remember I just got the Longshot lol. But yeah, no help. So proud. :'D Would have been better if I could say I beat the Water Temple with no help my first time through on the N64...but no, sorry. :(

If I had internet at the time, I'd have been looking up a solution for that one for sure @[email protected]; I swear, I felt like the rest of the game was fairly easy compared to that... nightmare. D:

Oh man, I really want to replay OoT sometime now. Gaaaaaaah.

Thinking about it now, I think that the most challenging dungeons overall are the Water Dungeons.

You could not, I repeat, could not get through the water dungeon in Twilight Princess without help of some sort or days of work on it. I'm pretty sure it takes 3-4 hours to get through with a freaking guide. Then there's Majora's Mask, and the water dungeon in there is said to be one of the hardest dungeons of all time. And now OoT stumped me at, yet again, another water dungeon. WhatisthisNintendo

But I don't have many games sooo :B Those 3 are just my take on them.
I really wanna play OoT now... but I'm always so lazy to search for a walk through OTL

But but but, the Water Temple in Skyward Sword is very neat. o3o If you can call the Ancient Cistern a "water temple". Though the actual equivalent of the water temple
Spoiler:
call it a sand temple if you want is not as great a pleasure. It's pretty fun to go through some of parts and I thought the Time Shift stone were pretty neat... But. Hng. The music gets annoying after a while. |D



I actually thought the Water Temple was okay last time I played OoT:MQ. I didn't really get stuck this time, and the map was actually a great help. Though, I do remember the first time that I played OoT (the previous line was the third time playing any OoT, I hadn't finished MQ on my second play through) I got lost, so lost. I hoped that I would be able to reset the puzzles if I left, but I nearly freaked out when I noticed they didn't. When I found the way I was kinda very happy. |D Maybe it's because I'm older (if only 4 years), but the WT didn't scare me as much as I remember. : >

The Lakebed Temple was actually pretty fun. It's just annoying to have to move the stairs a kazillion times to go to a place you've already been to. |D
The Swamp Temple in a Link to the past was okay. I remember having to redo it a few times (I'm not good with 2D). The Droplet Temple in Minish cap was pretty fun, though I hated those flying plants (or w/e) that dropped water on you.

There was no Water Temple in Wind Waker. \o/ Go find Jabun instead. |D


I completely geeked out when I was listening to this cd. It was like going through all those years when I first played all those Zelda games again. It was a huge blast from the past. I can't imagine what kind of an impact it would have had on me if I actually heard the Symphony live :0.

On an off note to all of this, I think I am going to attempt the Hero Mode on Skyward Sword and Master Quest soon. I've never tried these super-challenging modes before, so I will consider it a huge accomplishment in my sad video-gaming life if I manage to beat both of these before school starts up again. Haha wish me luck
I know the feeling. I squeed with joy when I heard the first tunes of the 25th Anniversary Melody, and I was overjoyed to recognise a lot of the melodies they put in that song. During the Wind Waker Symphony, I could basically tell when the scenes were playing. The Twilight Princess Symphonic Movement was pure joy (to me, it's the strongest track on the CD) and I really wanted to go ride Epona through Hyrule Field. |D

I was wondering though... does anyone understand what they're singing in the TPS? All I can make of it is "mighty portal" (at 4:36 and 4:55)... but I doubt that's the actual text. ._.
