I have been having a steady play through of this and am at Hyrule Castle after 'defeating' Zant - 45 hours playtime thus far. For me, I have loved every minute of the game so far - with the exception of the statue puzzle in the sacred grove - man that stumped me for a good hour (is tard). On par with OoT; sure it's not ground breaking like Ocarina was at the time and a lot of the puzzles have been recycled, but with the control scheme, grand scale of most of the dungeons and the 'Wow, that is awesome' bits, it matches Ocarina. Top, top game. |

Registered 17 years agoFinished this on Wednesday night. Fantastic game as I have said above.
*Spoiler*
The final sword fight with Ganon was a slight let down though, I prefered fighting the armour clad Darknuts personally - having to create an opening just worked better IMO.
The boss highlight for me was the fire boss in the Goron mines - just quality. -

Registered 15 years agoStarted again yesterday after a 4 month's break.
I found the horseback riding where you are to escort a cart really annoying and put it down 4 months ago.
Today I finished the Lakebed-temple with the giant fish boss at the end. All in all this dungeon was quite easy, but not very exciting and epic as I think the first one was (the one that was shown on E3 last year I think it was).
Anyway, it's still a fantastic game. Sound effects, story, the "what now?"s after finishing a dungeon. Having never completed a Zelda game before, I think I might with this one.
Oh, and hated Midna before - now it seems the character has some depth after all. -

Registered 17 years agoHad a hiatus... but have come back and finally finished it today (around 45 - 50 hrs me thinks)... Found a lot of it pretty boring unfortunately, i think due to the fact that you had to work REALLY hard to die! The last 2 temples were fun though, (thats what you have left AlcohollicA) some good puzzles and some good fights, shame there wasnt more of that ilk through out the game... and as for the last boss(es), both the best the game had to offer IMO which is as it should be.
SPOILERS
Zant was fun, Ganon was tough and entertaining... And very glad it ended with a nice one on one sword fight! Certainly more exciting than OoT finale... and some nice little throwbacks to the battle from Links Awakening (re: hitting energy balls back with your sword, and Zelda's arrows of light).
Rant over.
/sighs satified and puts arms behind head. -
I've not bothered with this since finishing the first dungeon - it's running around the overground non-dungeon landscape in 3D trying to remember where I am and where I've been and where I can't go and where I might be able to go now that I have {insert equipment here} that puts me off. The dungeons I like.
Is there much of that stuff I don't like to come? -

"Yes, sadly the game puts a lot of emphasis on the over-ground exploration, but it's not as banal or confusing as it looks once it gets going."
or
"Yes, sadly the game puts a lot of emphasis on the over-ground exploration - you'll just have to grit your teeth and bear it because the dungeons are cool."
or
"Nope, there's hardly any boring wandering overground in this one - much more emphasis on dungeons - get to it!"
But instead I get knobs like you firing unhelpful abuse around because it makes you feel STRONG LIKE BEAR! Cheers though! -

Registered 15 years agoFinished last night. 53 hours.
I have never played a game that was this long through to the end. I enjoyed it but thought it got a bit samey towards the end.
I also thought there was an imbalance in the fequency with which you needed to use items for puzzles. once you have the latern and the spinny cog thing, you hardly use them - I thought that was a shame.
Thinking of getting that DS one now. -

That tends to be a 'feature' of Zelda games. You need the hookshot, bombs and bow a lot of the time. Most of the other special items aren't used outside the dungeon you find them in. -

That lake which you can dive into, where all the Zoras hang out.
Looking at it as you dive down, you want to be on your right hand side, opposite the entrance to the snow mountain. -
Evening all. So I just bought a Wii with Twilight Princess and I'm stuck already. I'm right at the start in the small village. I don't know what to do. I've got the fishing rod, and I think I've got to give that cat a fish, but I can't catch anything. Can anyone help? -

Catching fish:
1) Go to the river bank near the cat. You have to catch a fish near the cat, obviously.
2) Lower the line into the water.
3) When a fish is nibbling, it will sink in the water.
4) Notice the coloured lines on the bait. Generally, if you pull up when it has been pulled down past the middle line (from my memory it might be green or yellow) then you catch one.
This stumped me for almost an hour when I first played. However, when it says "fish on" that is fishing talk for "you have a fish". I thought it meant 'start fishing now' and got endlessly frustrated.
So, when it says "fish on" just keep holding the wimote up and you will automatically reel in a fat fish!
You have to do it twice to get the cat to react in the way you want. -

Ah, thank man. Didn't know it had to be the fish near the cat. D'oh! -

Registered 16 years agoHaving dug this out to install the Homebrew Channel, I thought I'd take the opportunity to finish it having got to the Twilight World many, many months ago and then completely ignoring it. Thought the ending was a little pants. Great game though, thoroughly enjoyed it. Roll on Zelda Wii. -
