Official Handheld Zelda Help Thread

If you have any questions or problems about Zelda games for the Gameboy or the DS, post them here. Be sure to check the guides on our main site first, however, as they may contain the answers you are looking for.

This thread will be replacing both the old version of this thread, found here, and the Spirit Tracks-specific help thread, found here.

I'm stuck on the 27 floor in the Tower of Spirits. In the middle of the room there is a removable wall, but I can't figure out how to make it disappear.

I've already did the correct order of the flames and hit the eye and the other eyes, but nothing works.

Never mind. I just firgured it out and beat the game.

Can someone give me the ocean and fire railmaps displaying all of the rabbit locations? PLEASE?

In Spirit Tracks, I'm at the part just before the final boss with all the stupid trains. Any tips for doing this with a train that has all the basic parts? (Getting better parts to enhance speed or whatever is not an option.)

When you get a tear of light blow your whistle, your train will move faster than the enemy trains. The toughest part are the two in the top left, so save them for last, get a tear from the short portal path then head back and get the tear the two trains are going around. Using the whistle should get you it with no bother.

I can not, for the life of me, figure out what happened to my Pegasus boots. After 8 years of my Link's Awakening DX going missing, I finally found it. My save file is missing the 8th instrument, and for some reason the Pegasus boots as well. I don't have the boomerang, so I didn't trade it to that guy on the beach. I don't know where it could have gone. If anyone knows, please help.

And I went to the chest in the key cavern and its opened, so I have no clue what happened.

Its been 5 hours and I still cant figure it out.

Hey, I have a question regarding ST (I haven't posted in months! lol never mind)... Is the battle mode only local or can it be played in the wifi with people all around the world? If so how can I do it? It doesn't gives me any option regardin this. It would be sad that PH can use the Wifi and ST doesn't...

I'm afraid Spirit Tracks' multiplayer is strictly local.

Damn, I guess no one knows what I should do lol. Oh well. I guess I'll start from scratch.

So I'm trying to whip around and get to the stamp station in Goron Village. I only know it's the stamp station since I looked it up after getting eaten a bunch of times I wanted to know what was over there. Anyways, I can't seem to swing across and run to avoid and then kill the plants. Am I just not swinging fast enough? I've tried whirlwinding a bomb across, no dice. Maybe if I wait for my next weapon I can shoot them? The guides all say just to swing across and run. I'm looking for hints on the controls, maybe I'm waiting to long to let up on the R button but I assumed if a let up I would fall in the lava.

Thx for any help....

We already have a help thread for all handheld Zelda games, so there's no need to create a thread of your own. With that said, *merged threads*

Ok, so now to your problem. I've honestly never had this dilemma before. I've always been able to swing and run. Since there are two Boko Baba plants over there, have you tried using the boomerang on them? First try to use the boomerang while they are still in their bulbs. If that doesn't work, then swing across, get hit/fall into lava, re-appear at the edge of the cliff again, and then quickly target them with your boomerang before they go back into their bulbs. When they are stunned (or I think their heads just lop off), swing across, slash at them, and claim the reward that is your Stamp Collection.

Sorry for some reason even though I saw this thread I thought it was off limits for some reason....I did try the boomerang first but not after I was recovering from the lava. I'll try that tonight and see what happens.....I'm sure it's most likely user error on the controls, I need to go find a teenager to help me .

Update: So I went and tried again and it was user error. I had been tapping on the edge of the cliff after swinging. Once I put the stylist to the edge of the screen so link would run I did pass the plants so I could kill them. Thanks for the pep talk, I figured I was operating things incorrectly since that is usually the case.

Does anyone have any advice for those (FILL WITH SWEAR) demon trains????? I died about 6 times already.

^ Listen, just avoid them. When they come to a fork in the tracks, their choice of turning will be displayed on the railmap. Pay attention to the arrow in front of them and change course if they are routed towards you.

I tried. I was at the last demon train, and it was right next to the portal. When I went through the connecting portal, I ran out of power.
I'm guessing this is under the category of "When you fail, just try again"

Ooohhhh...I didn't know you meant in the Dark Realm...sorry.

Do you have any advice for the dark realm?

Well, when you get a tear of light (or whatever it's called), use your whistle and you will move extremely fast. This helps you catch up / run from trains / get to the next tear thing. For the portals, just know which goes where. I know I'm not much help, but I saved when I was past that part, so I can't help you by guiding you where to go.

k, thanks!

I am trying to get the Force Gem in Anoki Villiage and they need the Bridge Builder. Where is he. I checked his house, and he was not there...thanks
