Side quest question!
I gave the hand in the toilet the love letter (because fuck that creepy dude who pines over whatsherslut from afar), but I didn't get anything. The cook said she didn't hear noises coming from the restroom anymore, but that's it. Shouldn't I be getting gratitude crystals or something?

For me, the biggest problem is that he was revealed the same day the game was, so I already knew how to beat him from impressions from two years ago.
Also he just felt more like a midboss.

Yesterday it gave me the one bar warning. The home menu however tells me it has two bars. Went to turn on my Wii today and the remote flashed three LEDs at me. I have no idea what is going on. Magic batteries.
But it took me five minutes to figure out what to do in his 2nd form.
So far all the bosses felt like they were in Ocarina's ballpark more than in TP's. Nothing grandiose about them.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
I love Skyrim and I understand how you could you like it more then Skyward Sword (personally right now they both are neck and neck with Arkham City for my GOTY), but Skyward Sword does a LOT more new in the first four hours than Skyrim does in the twenty hours I have put into it.

I did the opposite thing to Mr Paer.
I got the gratitude crystals from Pipit, but is that the end of the quest? What happened to the restroom person?
You choose one or the other sadly. If you give the letter to the ghost she haunts him at night.

As far as I know, that's it.
Unless it comes up later, you have to make a choice about what you do with the paper. Ghost or Karane.
you thought alberto was acebandage, didn't you.

Oh wow, that's interesting. Guess I lucked out, not doing what the game seemed to be willing me to do. :lol

You'll get the five gratitude crystals regardless of who you give the paper to.

Ah, righto. I expected a bigger reward, to be honest. Eh, whatever.
Pumpkin chick sure likes Link (no spoilers)
I love her design so much, mostly due to the fact that her hair is shaped like a pumpkin.

So bug collecting: is the only thing you can do with them
?
selling to that one guy in the dormitory?

You can take them to the potion-sellers husband (he's stood next to her) & he will upgrade your potions with them
Regarding pre-5th dungeon area:
We all make that mistake sometimes, Amir0x.
Anyone else notice the Titanic reference in the Skipper's Retreat? Made me laugh. Here's a picture if you missed it: http://i.imgur.com/upcJT.jpg

Hidden sexual innuendo has been weird in Nintendo games since Pokemon Black/White and the incredibly awkward ferris wheel.

I just entered the fifth dungeon and have a bit over 20h of playtime. This game just gets more and more awesome by every hour.

Holy shit, I haven't even gotten to the 4th dungeon and I'm at 24 hours played. I must be going super slow.
Guess it depends on play style. I spend a lot of time just looking around in FP mode.

beat dungeon 2.
THAT BITCH! 
i felt so bad for link
i felt so bad for linkI saw it as a graduation ceremony, and maybe they do it differently where you come from, but my whole town certainly didn't attend my graduation. If you went around people did talk about it so it wasn't like they were completely brain dead when it came to the event.

Yeah, I never really took the time to explore, upgrade stuff, doing sidequests and all that. Did all that for a couple of hours today, will probably explore/sidequest some more after I'm done with the fifth dungeon.

The one thing I hope Zelda Wii U has is a ton of NPCs and sidequests. I love the inhabitants of Skyloft, I just wish there were more of them. That's the one thing I'd take from Skyrim and put in Zelda.
last dungeon spoilers:
I really liked the last dungeon. It really made you think. Second in the game only to dungeon 3, imo.
It kinda sucks that there was no boss, but the pirate guy returning was cool. I was having trouble with him... mainly because the forward thrust isn't responsive, but also because you needed to learn a pattern or you would get punished. Hard. Good mini boss.

So have any of you peeked into
Zelda's room in the dormitory? She has a Tingle doll on one of her shelves.
So just got through Skyview Temple.
Took a lot longer than I expected, but that's cool.
I love the Beetle though.
It controls so well, much better than the Loftwing does.
I absolutely hate Spiders though.
So annoying.
Also, did I miss anything when Fi suggested that I travel back to Skyloft through the Bird Statues?
Just decided to stay on the Surface to get things done.

Go into Karane's room right next to hers and peek through the crack in the divider, its not an actual wall.
beat dungeon 2.THAT BITCH!
Just did the same.
I like the sword controls a lot more. I'm intuitively beating a lot more enemies. The second dungeon was also great. But some more things I don't like:
- The Sky. Boring, and a huge waste of potential.
- Skyloft in general. It feels very uninspired and lacks the energy of even a Windfall. But it's better than whatever Twilight Princess and Spirit Tracks had.
- Fi.
- The lack of warps around/to Skyloft. I know, it's not that large, but I feel like it needs them.
- Not being able to select day/night on the menu. Going to Link's room is an unnecessary pain.
- No quest log/Bomber's Notebook type item. Feels weird, especially when there seem to be a decent amount of of them.
You can sleep in any bed.

Sweet, I haven't been in there yet.
How do you get to Beedle's at night?

You don't have to sleep in Link's bed. You can be a creep and sleep in whoever's bed you want.
