Oh....

Well...

Well is there a certain way I'm supposed to draw the hourglass to stop time against Bellum? I was told in a gamefaq that I am supposed to keep my pen on the screen as I tap the hourglass button....

How did the zelda team come up with this idea you may ask?

GoronMoron: What? You just draw it the same as in the Temple. No use in spoilers, this game is old now :/

The hardest part of drawing the hourglasses is that it won't work if you draw it too big. Once you get the size down, it's simple.

Anyway...

What in the name of King Dodongo happened to Link's tunic?

Essentially draw a quick figure-eight clockwise from the top of the screen.

Phantom Hourglass was seriously bad at explaining it's controls. I think that's where the problems are coming from.

Link still has his tunic. He just starts off with the train conductor outfit like how in TP you start in the farmboy outfit.

I did, but nothing happened, ever. I tried a gazillion times, and nothing.

I also asked about it in the help thread awhile ago, but no one answered. >_>

I think this is compleate bull****. I bought my wii solely for the next zelda, and it turns out the next zelda is a DS zelda, which I don't have, and would not be that interested in even if I did have a DS. Furthermore, the article seems to imply the next console zelda will be on another console!!!! God, what a waste of money.

^Where did you get that idea from? Why wouldn't the next console zelda be on wii?

Yeah, you just draw a quick figure-8 (starting in the top-left part of the "8" and going "east").

This is admittedly very annoying to try to pull off in the heat of battle, especially while Bellumbeck is whacking you with a sword while you're trying to run around in a figure-8 formation. =|

Likewise, the game was terrible at explaining fishing to the player. Now, once I got the fishing controls down, it was a breeze; I never lost a single fish afterward (not even Neptoona).

I did.

And still, nothing ever happened.

I own the American one, being Canadian.

And no, I don't live in Quebec.

Arent wiis still flying off shelves? I'm thinkin Ebay for you. Ok, you'll still pull in a net loss but not much of one.

Yeah I remember that boss. I had to draw so many "8"'s. It's really annoying but if you don't draw it precisely it won't register on the DS.

Just keep trying and you'll get it. Try drawing it slowly.

I just reread the arcticle and I overreacted. I misread and thought this part

Spirit Tracks could very well be the only Zelda we get until 2010, or until the launch of Nintendo’s next console (which could be well after 2010).

was part of the developer quote. Now I see it's the ZU writers own opinion, not an official statement.
