Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess Thread

[tar_baby]

for all those lucky enough to have it I figured I'd start a thread because I plan on getting my hands on a wii sometime in the next few days

[Hudson]

I soo am getting it!...I am such a geek!

[silentbob8201]

for all those lucky enough to have it I figured I'd start a thread because I plan on getting my hands on a wii sometime in the next few days
well im just waiting for the Gamecube version on account that im hearing reports that its just a port of that game with the controls of the Wii so Fuck that

[tar_baby]

with better visuals though on the wii

[KakTheInfected]

The thing is, so many people are saying the Wii controls are way better than what any standard controller could provide for a Zelda game. I bought it already and haven't been lucky enough to secure a Wii yet.

[tar_baby]

yeah im gonna just go ahead and buy zelda...so when i get my wii i can pop that shit in

oh...and are gamecube games playable on the wii?...should i just sell my gamecube?

[Monstercloud]

yeah im gonna just go ahead and buy zelda...so when i get my wii i can pop that shit in

oh...and are gamecube games playable on the wii?...should i just sell my gamecube?

Yes, You can use your memory cards, and controllers for the gamecube games on your Wii.

The only system to be TRUELY Backwards compatable

[XMScott]

Sell the cube, all games can be played on the Wii.

I own Zelda TP. But im busy playing other games. When im ready to play Zelda i want a good 2 hour of window of time to play.

[tar_baby]

i still wanna pull out ocarina..i never did finish that game

and is master quest worth playing...I got that disc that has both of them on it but ive heard master quest is basically the same game

[Chlorofirm]

Damn, another 40 hour game? This shit is getting crazy. I expect it with Final Fantasy, but not Zelda. I'm gonna have to hold off on Wii for probably a year, due to time alone, since I plan on picking up a 360 on Tuesday. I'm barely into FFXII (but loving it) and now I'm buying a whole new system.

Can't wait to see 720p/1080i games on my 61" screen...

FF12 is more like hundred hours... even if you stick to strictly story and do no extra stuff it's about 65-80 hours.
Im 81 hours in

[Chlorofirm]

Sweet.

[abudabit]

and is master quest worth playing...I got that disc that has both of them on it but ive heard master quest is basically the same game

Just much tougher dungeons. Never had to use walk through's of any kind on the regular version, finished it fairly quickly. But master quest I got stuck in dungeons multiple times and had to cheat (consult a guide online).

They're the same dungeons, just different layouts and tougher.

[martianvirus]

I'm about 8 hours into zelda now.

[BaLZaC~308]

and............ ???

[XMScott]

I played

How do i catch the damn cat!

[BaLZaC~308]

spread peanut butter on your cock

[martianvirus]

I played



How do i catch the damn cat!

spread peanut butter on your cockThat might work, but a fishing poll and a fish might help as well.

and............ ???
It's all good. Loving every second of it.

[Chester'sLiver]

I played this for about an hour and I like it. I am loving the Wii.

[WaddleDoodle]

Played the game from 3pm when I woke up after camping the Wii, until about 1am this morning. F'ing awsome. Never picked up a Zelda game before. Might have to go buy them online now.

P.S. I'm heading off to the 2nd Boss dungeon, but I have a major German test. What to do, what to do.....

[coolyellowbus]

how is the controller ?

[tar_baby]

i just bought zelda

sadly..i have no wii to play it on

[Chester'sLiver]

how is the controller ?
I didn't have any issues with it, but I only played a hour. I will have to get way into it to see if there any issues

[martianvirus]

how is the controller ?Got my Wii at midnight Sunday morning and have played it for about 20 hours since. The controller is wonderful. Zelda plays very well and it doesn't make your arms hurt. Even the Wii sports isn't bad. It will get your heart rate up, if you do it right. But that's it. On a regular controler my thumbs would hurt after some time, and you don't get that on the Wii.

[jimmyjimjimz]

I got Zelda and the Wii yesterday. I have no fucking clue how to move those blocks to get into the first dungeon. Someone has to help me out.

[LetsDoThisLucas]

wow posting on this board is taking away my wii time but its all good i like the idea of this thread...im about 6 1/2 hours in and i just beat the first boss twilight parasite i forget the name

this gale boomerang is the shit

but the controls are great just like the ign guy sed it only took about an hour or two to get used to them now its like second nature


BTW : i made mii's for the whole family pretty fukin funny they can look identical if u find the right combo

[tar_baby]

[thrawn42]

Ok. I'm unkempt, have 2 days of Wii stubble, and my eyes are dead. I did a little over 8 hours of Zelda today. Had to take a break with some Wii Sports in the middle.

I'm pretty used to the controls. It's hard to explain if you've yet to hold a Wii controller in your hand or use it in a game like Zelda. There's something very satisfying about actually making sword slashes and swirling gestures as you vanquish your foes. For added drama, I suggest standing up (works well for boss fights especially). The entire control scheme for that matter seems so natural that after awhile you pretty much forget that you're even holding two controllers. One thing that does take you out of it though can be the camera. Getting the camera just right can take some work considering we seem to have lost control of it, other than centering it behind Link. That's not to say it's always in a terrible spot, but sometimes when I'm being attacked by those damned flying gorgon things that sound like some sort of brass horn, I'd like to know if wolf-Link is about to make a flying leap attack but also subsequently land 30 stories below in Death Mountain.

Frivolous bitching aside, I've little doubt that Twilight Princess will easily eclipse Ocarina of Time. When you play a Zelda for 8+ hours and you've just reached the second dungeon, well what else is there to say? I think there's 9 main dungeons total, not including every other sub-dungeon. Then there will be the list of sidequests to come. It's not like I've been dawdling. At this point in the game, it doesn't let you do many sidequests. Without spoiling much, I'm expecting there to be a bit of dungeon crawling before more normal gameplay/exploring of Hyrule field can commence. (I've already been to the field but not much to do there just yet.)

Let's see ...what else. The intuitive nature of a lot of puzzles in Ocarina has returned here and probably more so with the aid of the Wiimote. Characters and storyline are vastly improved in their depths. In that area, this is probably the best Zelda (though probably comparable to Majora's Mask).

I can now address 2 areas of complaint that have been popping up across the web about Twilight Princess. You can take what you want from my views on the issues:

1) The speaker on the Wii remote. "It's annoying and low quality." Well for one I don't think it's annoying just yet. In fact I kind of like the added interaction. Though the speaker/sfx are a bit low quality, I don't think it's so bad that it's intolerable. And lastly if it's too loud, the remote's volume can be adjusted via the main Wii menu.

2) The graphics. Twilight Princess is most certainly a Gamecube game. The textures can be a bit muddy which is reminiscent of Ocarina, though certainly still of Gamecube graphics quality. However considering what we've seen put on the Cube, the question remains whether or not the artists/producer have purposefully chosen to make a lot of the game's textures bleed into one another. In the first town for instance, I find the texture work almost impressionistic. Overall what does this mean though? It means that Twilight Princess was designed for the Gamecube's hardware and then was enhanced for the Wii. What this doesn't mean? (And this is important to note.) Twilight Princess's graphics are not in any way reflective on the Wii's graphics potential. In fact both of my other games (Wii Sports and Monkeyball) are noticeably better looking than Twilight Princess. It's not PS3 or 360, but it's definitely above the Gamecube.

I'm expecting Twilight Princess to clock in for me somewhere between 70 and 100 hours. If you're getting a Wii it's pretty much a must, unless of course you dislike the genre. I feel like I'm only at the beginning yet I can already say that every review that you may have read about the game is dead on. The game is not only nearly perfect, but it's also enormous. SPOILER: If you want to get an idea of just how large, when you first start the game take a look at the map screen and zoom all the way out. It will display the overworld map and give you an idea of just how small you really are with respect to the rest of the world. Also keep in mind that You essentially have to go through any square foot of territory twice, once in the light world and once in the dark world. And besides all that you have every single underground map, submap and dungeon.

[thrawn42]

Upon further thought, the answer to any graphical woes in Twilight Princess seems glaringly obvious. The game was designed to fit onto a Gamecube disc.

[DanaReevesLungs]

I'm stuck after about 2 hours of gameplay. The part where you have to catch the monkey...well, I lost the little bastard and can't find him now. Can anyone please assist me on what I should do to find this little bastard?

If you put food stamps on the fishing poll he'll come out.

Did I imply he was a porch monkey? My bad.:action-sm

[Ant's_rapier]

Think I'll play some Wind Waker because I haven't a Wii.

[LetsDoThisLucas]

im stuck as a wolf on the that stone bridge wit oil on it which is set on fire and burns from both sides caught in the middle with only 4 wooden boxes to work with:icon_frow

[thrawn42]

I've now come up with another reason everyone should check out Twilight Princess on the Wii,.....

SWORD COMBAT WHILE ON HORSEBACK!

Un-fucking-believable.

SPOILER (but a cool gameplay story none the less): I got up to the part where you're fighting baddies on giant boars in Hyrule Field while chasing that badass orc-like knight (who has kidnapped the little kid Colin and propped him up on a giant stick on the front of his boar). After injuring him and taking out numerous other underlings, it culminates on a bridge riding head on at the knight (as seen in the last pre-launch Zelda trailer, also featured on startup of Twilight Princess). By the time I got to that point I'd been fighting off guys left and right, swinging the wiimote mercilessly. My heart was pounding. I had one quarter of a heart left and that guy had the little kid. He starts charging from one end of the bridge and I pumped up Epona full speed ahead at this guy. I lifted my wiimote into the air and just before we met at the middle I yelled and took a giant slice. Knocked that son of a bitch clear off of his boar and down into the ravine below. Link lifts Epona back on her hind legs in dramatic pose with his sword in the air. FUCKING AWESOME.

[LetsDoThisLucas]

anyone now how to escape that burning bridge over dried up lake hylia its pissin me off now....

and i know when i finally do it im gonna kick myself for not figuring it out

[Chester'sLiver]

I played for 3 hours yesterdya thinking I only played for 30 mintues the Wii rules.

[LetsDoThisLucas]

wow im a fucking moron.... i knew id be kicking myself 4 not figuring it out earlier....actually there was nothing to figure out:icon_roll

[thrawn42]

wow im a fucking moron.... i knew id be kicking myself 4 not figuring it out earlier....actually there was nothing to figure out:icon_roll

Sorry Lucas. I passed that spot a few hours ago. Was going to come on here and help you out once I realized what you were talking about. The answer eluded me for a few minutes as well.

[thrawn42]

Zelda update:

Another excellent 5 hours of Twilight Princess logged. I'm approaching hour 18. I took some time out to explore the world between the second and third dungeons so I could dig up as many secrets as possible. I think I found about 7 heart pieces that way. The "downtime" between dungeons can be some seriously long stretches of time in this game. It's not like popping from one to the next, there's definitely a lot of story/drama in between.

Right now I'm about to get to the Water Temple, but I think I may have to take another turn at exploring the map with these new items (bombs, arrows, etc.) I'm suspicious of the fact that it takes 5 heart pieces to make one heart container in this game. It makes me think that they've loaded the game with tons of heart pieces. There are certainly at least 2 collectables minigames going on at the moment. I've already located a few hookshot spots, but I can't do anything with them at the moment.

Perhaps I should eat food?

Nah. Back into Hyrule.

[tar_baby]

jesus...hour 18....still as good as they say?

[thrawn42]

jesus...hour 18....still as good as they say?

It only gets better. More exploring, more puzzles and most importantly more action. I'm stuck in the middle of a prolonged nighttime horseback fight which involves a lot of fire and bombs that I don't particularly feel like completing at the moment. I took about 7 or 8 shots at it each resulting in various states of endgame. I think the last one where Link slumps over dead on Epona was the last straw. I had to put the remote down. Just getting too stressful.

But before I got engaged in actual story I'd been exploring the various parts of Hyrule Field and Lake Hylia looking for secrets. I found one cave where there were so many rocked off passageways that I actually ran out of bombs out of my 30 bomb bag. I'll have to get back to exploring that after this story segment is concluded.

[LetsDoThisLucas]

Sorry Lucas. I passed that spot a few hours ago. Was going to come on here and help you out once I realized what you were talking about. The answer eluded me for a few minutes as well.

yup it was so easy too easy thanks anyway...i was also wondering about the 5 heart peices instead of 4...the "downtime" is another game in itself...im in the water temple now gotta say tho ive died more in this zelda than any other zelda game


jesus...hour 18....still as good as they say?

you bet your asshole it is:action-sm a matter of fact even better....it seems like only minutes go by until you see youve been playin for two hours...i stopped playin earlier today to let my brother get in his share of wii sports im about 17 hours in

[WoodenPlank]

If you havent returned the light to all the light spirits, dont read the following.....


I whacked the damn bug miniboss to get the last tears in Lake Hylia. Now, how the fuck do I get out of there to go to the castle? I cant find a way out.

[tar_baby]

im on hour 4....i dont like playing as the wolf

[LetsDoThisLucas]

I whacked the damn bug miniboss to get the last tears in Lake Hylia. Now, how the fuck do I get out of there to go to the castle? I cant find a way out.

Psssst.......pay the man who runs the fantastic cannon....the way out is up theresomewhere

[Newmania]

Cant wait to get my hands on this game. Been waiting for it for some time now.

[tar_baby]

got in an hour before my brother asked me to switch to football...i still havent found that damn boomerang...though im in the first temple

[CM Mark]

Beat the first temple, just finished filling up the second Tears of Joy thing. Now off to the Mountain Temple it looks like

[BaLZaC~308]

we are that the same spot bagel... i turned it off for tonite though.
pretty sick game

[CM Mark]

we are that the same spot bagel... i turned it off for tonite though.
pretty sick game
I went a little farther than that before shutting it off.

So which do you like more Balzac, Final Fantasy 12, or Zelda?

And for those that are farther than that point,
And holy shit, that horseback fight scene that ends on the bridge. wow! that kicked fucking ass!!! I only died once during that though. got it the second time through.

[BaLZaC~308]

im reallyliking zelda.... Im up to last part of ff12 and to be honest I havent touched it since me and AF started playing the wii... this weekend or monday I plan on finishing up ff12

[cokelogic]

Did they cancel the GameCube version of Zelda TP? It's not listed on EBgames anymore. I remember there being a December release date, but don't know if it's Wii only now. I've been looking foward to a rental marathon with my brother's GC for months now.

[CM Mark]

GRAHHHHHHH!!!! I can't find the last 2 Tears of Light in the Lake Hylia area. I got them all in the lake, in Zora's domain, and while riding the Hawk thing. Gettin pissed


Edit: Heh, found them

[thrawn42]

GRAHHHHHHH!!!! I can't find the last 2 Tears of Light in the Lake Hylia area. I got them all in the lake, in Zora's domain, and while riding the Hawk thing. Gettin pissed

Hehe. I bet I know which one you couldn't find. It's probably the one that was supposed to be tricky/hidden. I accidently got it first.

I'm closing in on hour 25.

I just finished the water temple. Which if history serves as precedent will probably go down as one of the most complex dungeons. Then again there's another 6 to go. The boss was fricking cool. I ended up fishing in the water temple with some bee larva for bait. Apparently skullfish are not allowed in your record books, but I also caught a 14" Hylian Loach. All told I think I spent between 2-3 hours in the water temple.

Of course nothing can ever be simple. I can't just beat it and get back to exploring Hyrule field with my handy dandy new item. Nooooo. There has to be a new plot twist.

The further I get into this game, the more clear it becomes that this will go down as the best Zelda ever made. Not only is it more complex and lengthy than its predecessors but it has an unprecedented level of polish to it. There are several completed elements in this game that you can plainly see were ideas that Miyamoto and co. just got out or pushed into previous games at the last minute. I'm guessing that extra year really worked out for the development team.

[CM Mark]

Hehe. I bet I know which one you couldn't find. It's probably the one that was supposed to be tricky/hidden. I accidently got it first.
Other than the one under the water, it was the one back in Hyrule Castle Town down by Thelma's Bar.

[thrawn42]

That's the one.

[CM Mark]

Holy CUNT!!! I can't get through this part where you are escorting the carriage to the other town. I keep running out of arrows and can't take care of the flying things. I am REALLY getting more pissed of at this than I have EVER been at any game. Mother FUCKER!!!!!

Non Spoiler version. Holy cunt this shit is bad. Almost close to throwing my wii-mote at the TV

Okay, somehow I did it. But Jesus Christ I'm getting pissed off

[thrawn42]

Dude. I think I tried that like 10 times. I got so frustrated, I took the better part of a day off for WiiSports. When it came down to it, it just took some patience and Z targetting. It's definitely key to go for the birds above all. Eventually you can kill all the enemies in the scene.

[CM Mark]

just got the hookshot. I'm happy

[thrawn42]

just got the hookshot. I'm happy

You won't be for long. BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[CM Mark]

You won't be for long. BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
ut oh. me no likey how you phrase that

[CM Mark]

are you talking about how I can't seem to find a Key for that door in that room? cause I'm starting to get pissed about that now

[phyl0x]

ah 52 hours in...19 hearts (2 pieces..assume i know where the other 3 are)...just have the final dungeon to go through...trying to get everything else first though..got all the bugs....need alot more poes...let me just say BEST GAME EVER

[thrawn42]

are you talking about how I can't seem to find a Key for that door in that room? cause I'm starting to get pissed about that now

Actually while the water temple was a pisser, I'm referring to the events immediately afterward.

Sounds like you'll most likely pass me by tonight though. I decided to take a break yesterday right after that point.

[CM Mark]

Turns out "that key" was the boss key, and I found it. but Wiisus CHrist that level was a pisser

[martianvirus]

Damn, I've been sidetracked by Excite Truck and my custom music in it. I better get back to Zelda soon.

[CM Mark]

Okay, I hate games that keep track of how much time you put into them. I've now put almost 24 hours into the game.


God I have no life

[Chester'sLiver]

ok I am not reading through this thread becasue I don't want to ruin the game and it seems like you guys are ahead of me. I have played only lke 5 hours and just got through the second dungeon. I love this game though and thought I would say that.

[prozac]

with better visuals though on the wii

From what I know...the Wii only has slighty better graphics than the cube but with that said I still can't wait to get one. Still got to finish a few games on the cube before I upgrade.

[thrawn42]

There's a lot of speculation on what the Wii can and can't do. Right now the common idea is that it is a bit more powerful than last gen's Xbox. Make no mistake though, Twilight Princess is a Gamecube game and does not demonstrate Wii's graphical abilities other than to support Widescreen and 480p.

[thrawn42]

Okay, I hate games that keep track of how much time you put into them. I've now put almost 24 hours into the game.


God I have no life

You think so eh? I basically devoted a week to playing Zelda and I even broke my Zelda fast late last night just to:

Wander around Hyrule as the wolf in the light realm to see if I could get into Lake Hylia to talk to a fucking parrot that will only talk to animals. Guess what? After the Water Temple you can't get into Lake Hylia as the wolf yet. I tried every possible route. There goes 1 hour of my time I'll never get back.

[LetsDoThisLucas]

all i gotta say without spoiling anything is wow this game is awesome:action-sm

[CM Mark]

How far in are ya? I'm in the fourth dungeon. Not playing tonight though, since I need to be awake before noon tomorrow.

[phyl0x]

lets put this whole "confusion about the power of wii" to rest...well sort of

First thing to note: its not fair to directly compare clock speeds of the Wii and the Xbox because the Wii uses a PowerPC architecture while the Xbox is based on the Pentium 3. Its therefore best to compare Wii to Gamecube because the Wii is basically an extension of the Gamecube's architecture.

If you want to see what Gamecube was capable at its best go look at RE4 of Twilight Princess or Metroid Prime 1/2 screens.

Gamecube ( from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamecube)):
CPU: "Gekko" PowerPC 750CXe 485 MHz
GPU: "Flipper" ATI (ArtX) 162 MHz
RAM: Main: 24MB of 1T-SRAM
Aux: 16MB DRAM

Wii (from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii)...no officially release specs from Nintendo):
CPU: "Broadway" PowerPC 729 MHz
GPU: "Hollywood" ATI 243 MHz
Ram: 24MB 1T-SRAM
64MB GDDR3 RAM


CPU: 50% faster
GPU: 50% faster
RAM: 120% more (although different type)

Therefore, reports of it being Gamecube 1.5 is pretty reasonable power wise.

While Xbox 1 was certainly slightly better graphically than Gamecube..it certainly wasnt 50% better. And while 1.5x of Resident Evil 4 or Twilight Princess is certainly no Gears of War or anything else 360/ps3 could push out, it isnt that shabby either. Lets just hope that developers use those two games as the base for a low-end graphical wii game (when going for realism). Obviously that isnt the case at launch. but i think we can look for some nice things with Metriod, mario and smash bros.

mmmm

[BaLZaC~308]

im in the desert now and i had to turn the game off... the water temple was a huge pain in the ass.
I do have 3 bomb bags , 2 bottles and 7 or 8 hearts.
on another note does anyone know how to get that stupid gorgon the spring water without it going cold? I warp right there and by the time I run it to him it is regular water. fucking pain in the ass. I think I need to do that before I can upgrade my damn wallet (every time I go into a cave I have to leave every chest cause Im alwasy full)

what a great game, pain in the ass but great

[prozac]

Mario Galaxy looks amazing from what I have seen....while I'm not getting the Wii yet, I'm looking forward to MLB baseball games once they are out. From the listing of games it looks like it might be some time.

[LetsDoThisLucas]

How far in are ya? I'm in the fourth dungeon. Not playing tonight though, since I need to be awake before noon tomorrow.

well after going to the fishing hole to relax and fish a bit:icon_bigg i spent like an hour fishing and i kept getting the same damn catfish im now on the snowpeak looking for the first mirror shard

you dont need to do that in order to upgrade the wallet cuz i have a 600 rupee wallet now and i didnt do that...honestly i forget what the hell i did to get the bigger wallet i think i gave that girl Agitha a few bugs and she gave it to me(shes in hyrule castle town) ...but i know what u mean tho leaving the chests full cuz i did that plenty of times very annoyoing...and yea id like another bottle cuz they're always full too

[LetsDoThisLucas]

yea so im up to the boss in the City in the Sky right now....this is definitely one of the longer and tougher dungeons ive played

man the double clawshots is a great weapon:action-sm

[Monstercloud]

Finished the game, always love the end bosses, this doesn't disappoint.

Good ending, but not as epic as Wind Waker imo.

[tar_baby]

im just starting the water temple..i got sidetracked by mario 64 for the last few days

hearing that it is a pain in the ass im not looking forward to it

[jimmyjimjimz]

Now I can't beat that motherfuckin asshole on the boar who kidnaps the little kid from Link's town who has a boycrush on Link. How many fuckin hits does it take to knock off his fuckin gear? I really think it's gonna take me till febuary to beat him. I bet it's easier to beat him on the gamecube version. Why does he always have to call those other motherfuckers on the boars? Can you ride a boar and go faster? I saw Link on a boar on one of the trailers. Maybe that's only the gamecube version, because that was back before they decided to release it for both consoles. Why the fuck is he faster than me? Why can't I hit him when he rides right by me? It's all fuckin bullshit. Someone has to help me and tell me what to do. I knocked all his gear off before and then I saved it, but then I had to go back and knock all his gear off again. It's a fuckin pain in the ass. Motherfucker. Someone has to fuckin help me. And, please add me to your address book, and let me know you added me so I can add you.

[tar_baby]

From what I know...the Wii only has slighty better graphics than the cube but with that said I still can't wait to get one. Still got to finish a few games on the cube before I upgrade.

i read that the wii has twice the graphics power or whatever u want to call it of the cube

just go for the main boar monster...the one with the kid on the stick...at first i killed all of his little friends and after a few minutes...more of them come...so stick with the main guy and just get him

then dont u joust?...that was a pain at first but its actually pretty fun once u get the hang of it

[jimmyjimjimz]

I finally beat that motherfucker on the boar.

[BaLZaC~308]

having a hard time getting into the sky temple.
any suggestions??


nevermind figured it out..... im stupid

[tar_baby]

how much more do i have after the lake temple?...i hope im not halfway through the game after the lake temple

[LetsDoThisLucas]

how much more do i have after the lake temple?...i hope im not halfway through the game after the lake temple

no you got plenty more to go:action-sm ....im stuck trying to beat zant right now i cant figure out how to beat this fukin guy

[CM Mark]

no you got plenty more to go:action-sm ....im stuck trying to beat zant right now i cant figure out how to beat this fukin guy
look at the room he is in, and remember how you beat the original boss or mini boss that was in the same type of room

Took me forever to figure out how to beat him. Click the above spoiler if you want to cheat.

By the way,
There's still more to go after you beat Zant

[LetsDoThisLucas]

i didnt look at your first spoiler as i hope to figure it out on my own unless i get desperate...i did look at the second spoiler and thats exactly what i figured and what i was hoping for :icon_bigg
not really a spoiler but dont wanna rooon it for others...i figured it was nowhere near ending cuz on the collection screen i noticed that theres another set of clothes i didnt get so i thought it couldnt be over just yet

its like ive played ths game for 40+ horus but even still dont want it to end lol

the other set of clothes you have to buy when you get Malo's store in Castle Town.

very lackluster ending. damn good game though. very damn good. final boss battle is a bitch and a half though.




EDIT: Oh wait, there's more after the credits. Makes the ending better

[BaLZaC~308]

im having a freakin hard time doing that fairy dungeon(optional) in the gerudo desert.

i got up to a part where there is 3 armored warriors and had no potions left.
i think i might just skip it...

stupid me thought you meant there was more game to play... I was sitting there waiting like a douche.
Overall great fucking game, I liked wind waker a lot even though I thought I would hate it. This one I knew I would love and now that I've beaten it I think it may be the best zelda yet.

hard choice....... 'link to the past' was phenomenal

[FAZ8218]

I will be joining this thread very shortly. Two weeks of grad school left for this semester... then its Wii time.

[blee]

For the first time on a Zelda game I am actually taking my time and exploring every inch of this world before beating it. Usually I go right through it only doing what was needed to beat it. This game is great and I love the music in Hyrule field. BTW has anyone beat up on a chicken yet? What the hell is up with that?

[WaddleDoodle]

Well, I beat the game. Very nice. Probably will go back through it over break, trying to do all the sidequests that I pretty much ignored the first time.

[FMJosh]

After my first day of playing (yesterday), I beat the first dungeon. Amazingly fun game thus far!

[tar_baby]

just got some extra time to pick it up again...19 hours in..just beat the water temple

[LetsDoThisLucas]

beat the game man i loved every minute of it....great fukin game, oh and Midna is a hot peice of ass:icon_mrgr

good interesting ending too


its bittersweet to know that there wont be any more zelda for me to play except the side stuff which im practically done with anyway

[FMJosh]

I need help please!

I am in the gorgon Mine and I am back in the "main" room looking for the switch to turn on the magnetic field but it's no where in sight. I even checked the walkthrough from some website and it says walk across the metal grating so it isn't helping much because the whole thing is metal grating.

Please help me if you can.

[blee]

Just figure it out by yourself. I have spent over 30 hours on this game and am not even close to beating it. If you are having trouble on this dungeon then you will have a hell of a time on the next ones. Good luck bro:action-sm

Already got it. Turns out I was using the wrong door.

[blee]

I have found out that I am thinking way too hard to figure these puzzles out. I had to take a 2 day vacation from this game. It took me at least 40 times to beat yeta on the snowboarding race. I came very close to biting the cord that connects the nunchuck to the remote in half. It reminded me of Majora's Mask when you had to race the Gorons. I stomped the shit out of the controller over that.

[KakTheInfected]

Is there a way to hide the "Navi pointer" or turn it off while keeping pointer functionality? It gets annoying after awhile.

[thrawn42]

Is there a way to hide the "Navi pointer" or turn it off while keeping pointer functionality? It gets annoying after awhile.

Not that I am aware of Kak. I know you can turn the map off with 2 and that there are some sort mini-icons you can turn on and off (haven't experimented).

[thrawn42]

Well I started up Twilight Princess after another two day break. I'd been trying to find every bug and heart container out there before venturing to the 4th dungeon. Though I actually found quite a bit (and some very well hidden ones) I think I'm tired of the search for now and will go forward.

I just began the game and it opened with me standing on the shores of Lake Hylia in midday. Is it just me or is the massive Lake Hylia with its rippling water and pleasant music, despite its mossy low-res textured cliffs, one of the most gorgeous scenes constructed in a Zelda game?

no, you are definitely correct about the scenery in this game....absolutely amazing..and to think this doesnt show off the full capability of the wii...the next zelda (assuming they'll make another one for the wii) should be flawless

with all these next-gen consoles i find it is the small things that make a difference...like I was climbing up a vine and small leaves were falling off and floating to the ground...nothing amazing but when you put every little touch like this together it makes a world of difference

[martianvirus]

very lackluster ending. damn good game though. very damn good. final boss battle is a bitch and a half though.




EDIT: Oh wait, there's more after the credits. Makes the ending betterYou don't know Zelda then. There is always more after the credits.

I liked the ending.

This is easily the best game I ever played.

[WoodenPlank]

I had made a hard save before going into the castle for the final boss run, so once I beat it I reloaded that save and started working on side missions. Alot of the side missions and collection shit you cant complete without ALL of the items you get through the dungeons. I found a whole hidden side area with piece of heart that was only doable with the item from the arbiters grounds. I wont name it for spoiler reasons, but anyone thats gotten that far knows what Im talking about.

[blee]

I just beat it. My time was around 46 hours. I still have 7 bugs to find, 3 more special moves, and a shit load of heart pieces. Also, I still have to find the fishing hole. I have only fished twice and that was because I had to. I have searched a little bit for the fishing hole but am not able to find it. Great game! Oh and one more thing, the hero armor pretty much is useless.

[thrawn42]

Did a run through of the 4th dungeon today. The boss was fucking incredible. Not difficult just a very dramatic battle. I just started on my second row of hearts. Think I'll take another break now. Going on hour 39 here.

[blee]

I was a little dissapointed with almost all of the boss battles. I never even came close to dieing in any of them. Pretty darn easy.

[tar_baby]

im at the waterfall and am about to go into the trophy room..i decided to save it there....on hour 20...im hoping the trophy room leads to another dungeon...or i could go into the snowy mountains

[WaddleDoodle]

Unfortunatly, once you beat it, you can't go back and finish up all the little things that you neglected. It's explained in the final cutscene, so I won't say any more about it.

[blee]

I saved before going to the end boss. I am able to go and get everything and then beat it again.

[jimmyjimjimz]

How the fuck do I get that stupid horse and carriage thing that the fuckin moblins on the boars keep setting on fire to that town? It takes forever. Just like that motherfucker on the boar that I had to knock his suit off and then I had to joust with him. I really think the gamecube version is gonna be a lot easier. So far I bought 2 strategy guides for this game. I never bought more than 1 strategy guide for any Zelda game. This game is so fuckin hard.

I did that yesterday, tough spot. Shoot the two dragons with bomb arrows. Use your sword to keep the gremlins wielding arrows at bay. Also throw the Gale Boomerang to put out any fires that start.

Note: You HAVE to kill the dragons before they drop bombs because they will scare the horse pulling Illia and Telma and it takes a really long time to get it back on track.

Good luck, bro! :action-sm

[martianvirus]

For me the hardest part of the whole game was trying to catch that stupid red fish.

[blee]

Hardest for me was that stupid fucking snowboarding race with that bitch.

[phyl0x]

im having a freakin hard time doing that fairy dungeon(optional) in the gerudo desert.

i got up to a part where there is 3 armored warriors and had no potions left.
i think i might just skip it...

uck i just died at that point too...i had a few hearts left and had scooped up some purple jelly to hopefully give me a few hearts before...took me down to 1 heart...so i used the magic armor but ran out when i had the three knights out of their armor...that had to be near the end of the whole thing...piss me off! the cave of ordeals is the coolest part of the zelda series now (there was one in wind waker on outset island)...

oh and once you beat the game you CAN go back and do everything because you cannot save after beating it..(this is true of all zelda games since ocarina)...so next time you start up you'll be at the beginning of hyrule castle again.

[BlackNinja]

so far im slightly disappointed with this game. the gameplay is absolutely fantastic, but the plot is leaving a lot to be desired thus far. I just finished the 3rd dungeon. for some reason, it seems that a lot of this plot is just link to the past, and ocarina of time paraphrased. i dont think i have reached the pivotal plot twist that has been in recent zeldas, so im hoping that it just smashes me in the face, that its so good.

that being said, it is fun, and does indeed feel like an adventure, im just praying the plot picks up(hoping im not halfway done either)and matches the gameplay:icon_cry:

Why make comments when you are not even done playing the game? I loved all the other Zelda games and find nothing wrong with this one. It’s a great game.

[BlackNinja]

b/c my mind should be well made up by the time i reach the final battle, not afterwards in retrospect

[KakTheInfected]

I'm pretty surprised just how much content is here. It feels like Oblivion, but with more stuff to do. Fishing is a game in itself.

[martianvirus]

b/c my mind should be well made up by the time i reach the final battle, not afterwards in retrospectWell when I was half way through, I thought the game was better then any other Zelda game. It makes me wonder if you are playing the same game.

[jimmyjimjimz]

How long did it take you? I heard it takes at least 20 min.

[blee]

Where is the fishing game? I have searched all over but am not able to find it. Do you get a better fishing rod than the shitty one you are given at the beginning?

[thrawn42]

The fishing hole and other rod are...

In Upper Lake Hylia...you know between Lake Hylia and Zora's Realm. It's across from afro lady's shack.

[tar_baby]

i think oblivion is much better than this game...i logged about 100 hours on oblivion and am sure i still have much to do in the game (havent picked it up in about two months)...but zelda is still an awesome game and one of the best games ive played in a looong time

[FMJosh]

How long did it take you? I heard it takes at least 20 min.

Probably about 20 minutes. Ofcourse, I got the 'Game Over' screen twice because I let Illia die but once I figured out that I needed to kill the dragons first, it was MAYBE 5 minutes tops.

[thrawn42]

I don't think Oblivion is necessarily better than Twilight Princess. It's just different. You can take it from someone who has actually had the opportunity to sit down with Todd Howard and talk about the game while it was being made. The Bethesda team just has a very different focus from that of Nintendo's. Elder Scrolls is meant to be as close as possible to the ultimate in sandbox RPGs. Zelda is meant to be a straight-forward, yet fantastical action adventure game. As a result there's technically less content but it also has the quality of being a more honed piece of work.

Myself I've logged about 120 hours in Oblivion and just over 40 in Twilight Princess so far. The large percentage of time in both of those cases has literally nothing to do with either game's plot. What's pretty evident to me from both experiences is that they stay true to design. Exploring in Oblivion is a much richer experience, while the plot driven parts of Zelda are much stronger than Oblivion's.

[WaddleDoodle]

Hmm.....Oblivion. Haven't played that in quite a while. Think I'll start that up.

they dont tell you anything. I went there and looked at all the walkthroughs, and none of them said what to do.

You think like a man. I told my wife the same thing, but she wants to hear the horsey sounds and the swords and all that crap. I don't play the game, but we're all tired of the music.

I think like a man because I am a man.

On another note, did you go to the + key pause menu and the options down on the bottom? There might be an option there for sound or something like that.

[gleet]

I knew you wuz a man. We tried all the options we could find with the + key, nothing to do with sound or music. Maybe I'll just stay upstairs for another 20 or 30 hours and it will all be over.

[tar_baby]

the music is great..y would u want to silence it?

[gleet]

Sure it's great for a while. Would you play it in your car on an all day trip? Would you buy it?

[KakTheInfected]

Games develeoped by NCL usually don't let you turn the music off, which is a shame. It's so fucking annoying waiting for an online game of Mario Kart DS to begin because you can't turn that goddamn music off. The music is good to listen to through an initial playthrough but after awhile you want to just enjoy the sound effects in surround sound (and the arrows whizzing past you in Zelda sounds excellent).

[KakTheInfected]

Excite Truck wasn't developed by NCL though. I'm pretty sure they handed it off to someone else, but I forget who exactly.

NST, on the other hand, is usually very good with that stuff. Being able to turn the music off in Metroid Prime: Hunters was a godsend. Having BGM play in an online FPS just sucks.

[tar_baby]

Sure it's great for a while. Would you play it in your car on an all day trip? Would you buy it?

no...because its not a music CD..its a game..i listen to the music while playing the game....not driving around

[LetsDoThisLucas]

zelda soundtracks are known as some of the best ever in gaming

[tar_baby]

i still love the very first one...i was playing that on my emulator a few weeks ago...still a damn good game

[KakTheInfected]

Unfortunately, compared to other Zeldas, the Twilight Princess soundtrack is just not that good/catchy. Nintendo has been slipping in the music department lately (mostly due to the fact that Koji Kondo has only been slightly involved in newer games).

[Chester'sLiver]

I just beat the game and the ony thing that bothers me i that it told me how long I played for and it 44 hours. Between this and the already 45+ hours I put into FF 12 and Im only through about half way of that I would say I really need to get out more. :icon_eek: Altogether good game though.

Hey could be worse. I just beat the Temple of Time and i'm on hour 56. One could walk through the game in about 40 hours I'm sure, but I just have to explore every nook of Hyrule looking for secrets. It's a curse. Even if I find something, sometimes I don't have the right tool to proceed and so I have to retrace my steps later on.

And why isn't this rod powered when I leave the Temple of Time!!!!!!!!111 This is fucking bullshit. I want to move all those damned owl statues so I can get more heart containers. I spent all that time getting through the dungeon thinking I'd be getting the power to do just that and bam, it doesn't work outside.

[KakTheInfected]

Have patience Thrawn :action-sm

Don't feel too bad CL. I beat the game in about 42 hours, spent another 20 hours tracking down secrets, and have about 22 hours into a "3 hearts only" file (which I just fucked up by picking up a 5th piece in a dungeon and was too tired to do everything over again). Aside from Majora's Mask, it's easily the most I've played a Zelda game.

Don't you think at some point you will be able to move them at some point.:action-sm I only missed 8 pieces of heart and I don't feel like looking for them. I had the 100 arrow quiver and the magic armor. So I had alot of the secrets done.

Magic armor == crap. I didn't believe the first person who said it so I got it.
Just worthless. The worst part about it is that they could have made something useful out of it easily.

All they had to do was not let your rupees run down while you wear it but instead only when you get hit.

Very true. I didn't use it at all but I bought it just to have it.

[LetsDoThisLucas]

so i picked it up again and been messing around with the fishing anyone know how to get the sinking lure?

[Newmania]

Just got this game for Gamecube. Pretty fun so far.

[TheJerseyDevil]

I just got the Cube version as well since I havent picked up a Wii yet. Another awesome Zelda game, it has the potential to be the best one.

[thrawn42]

I put another 7 hours into Twilight Princess yesterday, putting me at hour 63.
I killed the Sky Temple, got a lot of heart containers, a few more poes and even a few bugs and a new quiver.

As it stands I have 3 heart containers left to get, 11 poes, and 4 bugs.

I've yet to go into the fishing minigame with that much depth, though I do take a chance to fish outside, underground, and in dungeons every chance I get. I'm apparently missing a few different types of fish though.

Question to any of those completists out there about the Rollball minigame in the fishing hut.

I'm up to level 1-7 in the game. Is this the last level? If not, how long does this minigame go on for? Level 1-7 with its 2 dipping sections seems next to impossible as it is.

And here's a warning about the Rollball game. Do not attempt its completion while listening to the E-Lo Attack of the Cocks bit.

Oh and I'd like to go on record and say that Double hookshot rocks fucking hard. I wish they'd introduced it earlier in the game.

[thrawn42]

For those who think they've beat Zelda and have moved on, you may have missed one of the toughest or at least longest pieces of Twilight Princess.

Seeing as this seems to be pure bonus content I'll put this all in spoiler tags.

I just did a partial run through of a hidden area in Gerudo Desert known as "The Cave of Ordeals." For those of you that have missed this part, it's basically an enormous series of underground chambers where you face off on most of the enemies (sans bosses) in the game. I got pretty far before tapping out on 2 gigundo armor knights. (I really don't know why I didn't use the ball and chain.) After about 10 or so chambers you come upon a fairy queen who is kind of like a way point that allows you to return to the surface. Apparently there are about 50 of these chambers and there are some rewards besides the general accomplishment. Be warned though, if you die you'll have to start all over again.

[blee]

I have beaten that cave of ordeals and it is pretty tough.

I have 2 dungeons, the Cave of Ordeals, Roll Goal, Rapid Ride, and Flight Challenge to complete and have to get 3 hearts, 4 bugs, 9 poes, 1 bottle and the Giant wallet.

[blee]

I am at 85.5%.
I need to do the rapids thing, the roll goal, flight thing, 25 poes, shit load heart pieces.

Geez...I put in another 2 hours including another unsuccessful attempt at finishing the Cave of Ordeals in one go. At least I got farther. (I think I'll fill my bottles with blue potion next time instead of stupid fairies.)

I still can't get past that 7th stage in Roll Goal either. Went through 400 rupees trying to complete it.

I finished the rapid ride and flight challenge, got the giant bomb bag(s) and got another 1.6 hearts.

That only puts me at 75.783333333333%.

Bastards.

I'm 1.5 hours in. Just got my Wii and Zelda today :)

Congrats Doughboy!
I have spent more time playing old school Zelda and Mario World than any of the Wii games. I want to restart Zelda TP, but everytime I go to I see the VC games and just have to play them one more time.

I wish I had the extra money to buy a Wii + Zelda :( I have the PS3 that I got the other week after giving up on trying to find a Wii. I would have bought the Wii first but I just couldnt find one.

It sounds like the game is good so far. I'm sure I will get it at the end of the year or so.

I love this game.

I'm 5 hours in and I've got the first boss (boomerang) done. Just about to find the twilight again.

Fantastic game, but was it just me or was the final battle against Ganondorf a little anticlimactic?


It sets up nice, Ganondorf and Link square off on Hyrule field, walled off from everyone...then Ganondorf proceeds to fall for the Back Slice EVERY FUCKING TIME! It kind of sucks...the build-up to that point is exceptional, then you slap Ganondorf around like a little bitch.

He wasn't even as bad as one of those armored knights...and you have to fight them 3 at a time sometimes.

[blee]

3 armored knights at the same time is so mucher harder then any of the bosses in the game.

You got that right.
