Octorocks Gone

Man, why did Nintendo get rid of the octorocks? They were a Zelda tradition. At first I thought that I had seen them in the Goron Mines in one of the rooms with all the water, but they had no tentacles whatsoever and when I bought a guide book it says it's a Water Toadpoli. Its just, they have been in every Zelda game to date and now the tradition is over. even if PH has them we will never be able to say that they are a tradition.

I noticed that too. There is now not a single enemy that is in every Zelda game.

Perhaps that was the reason why they didn't put it in... It was said that this is going to be the last traditional Zelda game, or something to that effect, so maybe they're getting rid of precedents that would hold them down.

...or maybe they just didn't put them in. Either way...

It was said to be the "last Zelda game of its kind", because TP didn't originally utilize the Wii remote for sword swings. Thats what Nintendo meant. Now that the Wii version ended up using the Wii remote to swing the sword, I think we can disregard that comment. Zelda will remail the same, but the Wii remote will be utilized in even more ways next time

... CD-i Link ate them!!!

No big loss if you ask me.

LOL, that was funny. "I'm so hungry, I could eat an Ocroroc!" Pesonaly, I don't really care whether they're in the game or not. In my opinion, they're sort of annoying.

Yeah, they were annoying.

i hated thos things!!!!glad there not in anymore

I always hated them, loved killing them though.

I hated them when they were here, miss them when gone.

Ugh...I HATED THEM! Popping up on Zora's river in OoT, then in the middle of the Ocean and shooting at me. I.Hate.Those.@#$!ers.

Shield Mechanics dont make them a viable foe.

Octorocks gone?????????

I'm not buying TP anymore. Sorry.

Shield mechanics are fine. Your shield doesn't bounce the projectiles back unless you shove forwards with it at the right time.

I don't really miss the octoroks, but I was weirded out when they weren't in the game.

haha.. thank god.. i hated the octorocks.

Aren't Hidden Skills optional?

Yes, they are. If you don't bother getting the skills, you just use your sword on those enemies. I don't see the problem.

And? I asked if they were optional no implications there.

O___o Huh? But in Goron Mines there were these things that popped out of the water and shot things at me...

But they looked more like frogs. xD;;;;
