Annoying for most of the game (yes, I'm low on hearts. The first irritating noise didn't tip me off, and I can't seem to find my hearts on the overlay; thank you, Nintendo, for implementing another way to inform me), and an actual impediment to the puzzle-solving elsewhere.

Pre-third dungeon spoilers:
What got me was when she basically explained why your map was updated and then told you exactly what the effect was essentially as soon as the player could have discovered it themselves. This would have been a really neat puzzle if the game didn't tell me about it beforehand.

Am I the only one who failed at it first, and then she told me? or am I crazy and just forgot what she said, so she told me again.

no...no I do not. She never spoiled a puzzle for me except for the pre-third dungeon puzzle.

lol, that didn't happen to me (or at least I don't recall it happening). I walked around aimlessly for 30 minutes wondering what I was suppose to do...

Finally got to the fourth dungeon. I'm saving it for when I return from Thanksgiving break.
I didn't feel like any of it was padding. Retrieving the

Everything else in the game controls fine.

If I have one complaint about the controls, it's
playing the damn harp. It seems fine when I'm just playing with the normal background music, but when it's for something important, I can't seem to strum with the rhythm. Link's hand keeps jumping all over the harp and I have to start the song over. I'm getting better at it, but I'm thinking it has more to do with the controller than me.

Whenever I'm aimlessly walking around,
I don't know why either.
I pull out that damn harp, and play it.
Finished the
dungeon, the
or whatever. The first 2 hours of the game I thought it was a bit uninspired, full of bullshitty things and skyloft was a huge extension devoid of any life but... but... this 2
, the
of the
, this
in the
one... man, such an absolutely fantastic design and animation. The way the "theme" of the dungeon is transferred to the gameplay of its puzzles is nothing sort of genius, and they're soooo beautiful and FUN to play. Fucking best gameplay design of the industry. The little touches like the cut-scenes where you see Link entering the dungeons are awesome, and they're everywhere. Incredible game.
With Zelda and Mario on the 3DS right now I'm in such a gaming bliss. Great times to be a player.

i suck at puzzles so Fi spoilage won't piss me off. Lol. In fact she isn't that bad so far.
Just finished the first temple...died on the boss. Yep.
Not sure if I got a great grasp on the sword stuff yet but it's still pretty fun. If the first temple is the worst one then I'm gonna like this game.

I was so disappointed *dungeon 3 spoilers and post*
That I got the vacuum cleaner instead of the hook shot, also the random boss fight in the scared grounds was pretty bad, first bad boss of the game though

HOLY SHIT FIFTH DUNGEON
Also as far as Fi "spoiling" puzzles, there have been only two in the game so far, and one I think is if you mess up on the first time (still unnecessary), and the other is optional.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
i made the mistake of beginning to enjoy myself again.
WHAMMO. stealth section
No, No, No, nononononononononoNO. Someone take that 1998 videogame level trope book away from Aonuma this very fucking instant.

Hey don't you dare diss that item it makes me feel like I'm playing a Luigi's Mansion game that I always wanted
Your description of the fourth dungeon was a spoiler; other than that I didn't feel that anything in the post needed to be marked.
Haha
that item ended up surprising me as well since the area getting there was full of obvious hookshot points.

Hey, this is sort of off-topic, but this is my new favorite Zelda remix of all time.
Song of Storms, Chiptunes, AND violin?! Holy fuck!

Shhh,
I still felt like I was playing Luigi's Mansion. Like the whole rupees spinning thing and cleaning Pipit's mom's house.
That part is barely stealth-y. There's like one time you have to sneak past a Bokoblin, and the rest is trying to get to other places with your items. The stealth in Forsaken Fortress was ten times worse.

I was listening to the album earlier, the Wind Waker theme track was sublime and I was pleasntly surprised by the song of storms mix myself.

No, but I saw some at Kmart today. might try there.
Also see how long your local Best Buy holds pre-orders. They might be getting ready to put them on shelves.

Not too surprisingly I was reminded of that as I listened to it, Wind Waker's main theme is great.

Finally got my limited edition from Amazon today. The box is completed destroyed. It looks like someone walked on it. But the thing is, they shipped it that way. The outside shipping box is undamaged.
Let's see if they can send me a new one when they are sold out. :/
EDIT: Nope! Sending it back for a refund. No limited edition for me.

I replied to you earlier:
You need to
tilt the Wii remote towards the inside of each curve to gain speed, of course being careful not to fall down. Also, choose the path on the right at the one junction without a dead end. It's shorter. When I played, I made it in 1:04:99, lol.

Definitely getting some white patchy segments running down the screen, pretty sure it must be from the game as my TV works fine.

Saw a shitload of bundle boxes at Walmart today sitting on the shelves. Tried to buy one even though I had the game..."Not for sale". Stupid black friday bullshit.
FINISHED! A little more than 30 hours, some sidequests done and HOT DAMN the finale is intense! Puts any other Zelda game to shame in that department.

Did anybody try to confuse Demise with the Bug Net like you can with Ganondorf and the Fishing Rod in Twilight Princess? I did. It doesn't work. It does follow the net with his head, but it doesn't leave him open for attacks.
