After seeing mentions in the Skyward Sword E3 thread of a connection between Pols Voice and the Running Man, I noticed that they changed his dialogue in this game from "I bet with those long ears you can hear the voices..." to "I bet with those long ears you can hear the voices of spirits."
I never would have noticed otherwise. Now I wonder what other subtle changes they've made to the text?

Replaying this game has reminded me of some story elements that always niggled me as a child.
If you've made it to Adult Link...
If you've completed the game...

Who wrote Ruto's letter? Always got the impression it was Ganondorf after his interference with the Kokiri and the Gorons.
If you've completed the game...
Are the sages dead people or just sleeping people? Maybe it was seeing Hyrule transformed into a gloomy future for the first time as a kid, but I always got the impression that the sages were people that had died at the hands of the temple monsters either sometime during the 7 years you were asleep or right around the time you awake. Impa went off to fight the monster again and never returned... you see Darunia go to fight the monster but when you get there he's gone but the monster isn't... Ruto seems to haunt the Water Temple as she leads you places then disappears... and Nabooru appears to be killed right before your eyes! (- depending on your interpretation.)
Why would you do that?

About the spoiler stuff above, wow, that would make a lot of sense, but here's the thing about Impa...
Shiek (aka Zelda, the 7th Sage) knew that Impa was the Sage before you even went into the Shadow Temple. Shiek said something like "Impa went into the Shadow Temple to stop the monster. Impa's one of the 6 Sages, you have to help her, Link! Here's the Requiem of Spirit..."

Does anyone else hate using the boomerang in 1st person mode because Link blocks the whole screen?

Why would you do that? said:
Oh yeah, for some reason I had thought Shiek was telling you what had happened in the past here, about Impa going to seal the monster away for the first time. But s/he's talking about Impa heading to the temple at that moment to chase the monster. I guess it's the fact you don't see Impa in the future in person outside of the Sacred Realm that made me think that.
It's weird because another thing that gave me the impression Impa was dead was how Shiek describes her/himself as survivor of the Shiekahs... as if s/he's the only one left... (obviously s/he's not even a Shiekah in the first place, but you know...)

Eh, 3d is ok in this when it works but I much prefer the gyro camera over it. It feels nearly cinematic running across the field while holding the L-Trigger and positioning the view like you're holding a film camera in your hands. It's something that I've never quite had with the right analogue stick.

Beat the game.
The remake specific credits music is such a cocktease

This was a problem in the original, thing was a pain to aim in first person.
Stupid spirit temple. I swear I've checked everywhere I can and I can't find this damn key I need to progress.
Just hold your shield out until the attack, block their attack, then counter.
Combat in this game is pretty terrible, honestly. If you do anything aside from this, you're almost assured to get hit. Yet using this method is extremely dull.

In terms of diificulty, furst being the most and last being the least, it goes:
Water
Shadow
Forest
Fire
Spirit
Spirit is linear as hell and such a cakewalk. There is little logic in navigating the Water Temple. A lot of it is trial and error and just dumb luck. It's "hard" due to sloppy design. Great Bay Temple in MM had logic, therefore, its difficulty was legitimate.
But after replaying MM ( my personal favorite Zelda game) I can see why people don't like it. It can be cheap and overly frusturating. Even when you slow down time, there is never enough for you to do everything you want to do. It seems like with the time limit and it's strict conditions for certain quests, that the game is never on ypur side. You feel hopeless and at times at the mercy of the game, just as the people of Clocktown are at the mercy of the moon....

I forgot how much I hate the Forest Temple. I like the twisty hall part, but there's always so much tedious backtracking after I find the bow. I've never felt like I understand how the layout of that dungeon is set up, it's just never felt fun to me.
When I was a kid playing this dungeon the music freaked the hell out of me. Now I find the constantly pulsating rhythm to be really annoying.

I'd put Shadow below Fire; it's linear as hell and the puzzles are very straightforward. Still my favorite dungeon though.

Have the stones but he still doesn't appearMuskweeto said:
I think the bow's projectile is bigger, thus making hits easier so you don't have to be super precise. I found both to be very easy with the gyro, I only paid once for both (getting freebies by almost hitting them all).Busaiku said:
Got her on my first try with no problems whatsoever. Maybe there's a problem with your slide pad?zychi said:

Yeah, I found him. Don't remember when though. It was under his tree. I didn't have the mask yet though.
This is one of the few games where I fan push the 3D to max and can appreciate it. BUT, I have to focus a little harder, and with the gyro aiming I have to shut off the 3D or close one eye. Generally I just have to concentrate too much and it tires me out. So for short bursts it's ok but I often flick back into 2D. The gorons town is pretty spectCular in 3D thoughEnk said:
I find it difficult to work out what I can do now, and what I need to come back to later. Eg, can I get all the chickens immediately? Can I get to the guy on the roof? Or do i have to wait until i'm grown? The 2D zeldas were usually a little easier to understand when they had areas blocked off due to lack of ability - very metroidesque

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I dont recall Impa's house in Kakariko Village having so many clues. Thanks to the higher quality textures her house is now littered with hints on how to use items.
Its a nice little detail.

you can do all that,
at the top of the lookout tower you can z-target and sidestep jump to the left... you do it facing the mountain road... you will land on the high fence right next to the roof guy walk up the roof talk to him and then drop down on the chicken and carry it up stairs throw it... another chicken is up behind the windmill if you climb the latter you'll see it... don't fall in that hole in the grown or you will have to do your chicken run again
