GameCube/Wii Zelda General Discussion

The skeleton guy could have just been some warrior who protected Hyrule a long time ago.
I'm thinking it might be Link's uncle from that one game...Link to the past?

And my favourite character?
Why, the big fat fish-whale thing!

There's been plenty of discussion about Hero's Shade being the Hero of Time in Theorizing. It's possible, sure. But that would mean Link speaks ingame, omg


I borrowed my TP to a friend, it's been gone for months, and I just got it back. I had completely forgotten where I left my save... I've been doing 3 heart runs on some games now and quickly started one with TP as well. Some time later I realised I had saved the new game over the file I'd several months ago tried to 100% -____- Goddangit. I don't remember how much I had left to find in it but... Oh well, next time then. Still, what an idiot..... (That's what I get for protecting my sister's file. I'm too nice.)

I'm also finding I don't like running through games and avoiding most sidequests. I like sidequesting a lot, and just running from dungeon to dungeon to avoid finding heart pieces makes the game feel empty. Other than that, 3 hearts is muchly fun.

Woohoo, just finished a 3 Heart Challenge in Wind Waker. Was significantly harder than OoT, I'll say that. Took me 3 tries to beat Ganondorf.

I've never tried any 3-heart challenge. I still need to 100% WW. I just need 3 maps.

Melp that's crazy! I barely got myself into taking pictures of everyone in Outset and I surely have no patience in getting all the maps and treasures! Congrats

The nintendo Gallery was my fave part. I did it during the 2 play throughs, which made it easier as it was more spread out instead of all at once.

The maps were hard to find. So I had to look up the ones I was missing. <___<

I almost completed the gallery before, but the memory card got lost =S I forget though, I know some things (Like the Pirates) you take one picture and it gives you the whole group. I forget if it does it for Tingle & co. or not, because I'm pretty sure I lost the Gameboy Advanced-Gamecube adapter, therefor making it impossible for the blue one to appear. =s

I think Knuckles is Pink not blue... Or is he the white one?

I haven't been too high on Twilight Princess since beating the second or third time, but at the beckoning of my sister, we are playing through it again. We just finished escorting Prince Ralis to Kakariko Village.

Up to this point, the game has been incredibly strong--possibly living up to the title "greatest Zelda ever." The Forest Temple and Goron Mines are superb dungeons and the pacing is incredible. There is a perfect picture of story and game play, as well as original twilight realm wolf game play and classic Zelda light world game play. The atmosphere is really stunning at times.

Speaking of TP, alongside MM that's my next target from a 3 heart challenge, but TP's bosses are rather weak so there probably won't be too much challenge.

And I assure everyone I will NOT use the fishing rod.

Uggh I hate the Palace of Twilight. The part where you have to go and retrieve the Sols... I die a little everytime, both in the game and in reality. Those hand things are scary man!

Unfortunately I don't think this is the place to ask for particular game help Twili, so this is likely to be closed soon.

If you are having trouble with Sols, I discovered the strategy of letting the hand drop on the Sol, and when its down hit it with the clawshot. This stuns it for a while, increasing the distance between you and the hand, and can be done infinitely as the clawshot is used rather than arrows. That made the palace of twilight dungeon much easier for me in general.

*Merged witht the GC/Wii general discussion*

I think those hands were intimidating because of the music. You could tell when it was getting close. The music made it pretty creepy. But being able to stun it made it really easy.

I loved the Palace of Twilight.

I didn't find anything in Twilight Princess even remotely challenging, unfortunately. Besides the statue puzzle near the Master Sword, that was overkill.

That puzzle was the only one that took me a while.
I would like more like that.

Although, after you figure it out, it is pretty easy.

I love the Master Sword puzzle. That is hands down my favorite part of the game and I sometimes play TP just so I can do that puzzle again. We need more fun puzzles like that.

I liked that it was a challenge.
You had to think and plot where things were going.

I wish there was more like that.

That's what made the old games great. Things were actually difficult and you were much more likely to die. The recent games have been getting more creative puzzles, but the difficulty has been lacking.

If they could go back to ALttP type difficulty and keep making more creative and hard puzzles like that, then we will have a kick ass Zelda game.

I still want Retro Studios to try a Zelda game.

The only other thing in TP that waw much difficulty was taking the water to Castle Town.
Until you figure out how easy it is to stick to the cliff.
