now that the alternate Quest-stopping problem i've reported has been folded into the massive "I NEED HELP GETTING THE BOTTLE" thread (thanks, admins !), there is no chance of getting any help here, nor of making Nintendo aware of a related Hero Song problem within Skyward Sword

there are others out there having (or will have) this same issue, but why bring it to the attention of a larger community ? some other web site will get credit for making this discovery, i guess

- thanks for looking !
