Where do you sell insects, anyway?
You sell them to the taller of Groose's lackey's in his room at night

Yep personally speaking I just go to where you first land in the Sealed Grounds and the birds constantly respawn after you walk away and come back 30 seconds later so it's a good place to learn the best strategy and catch some.
I think you'll be gravely dissapointed that Aonuma says he plans on using motion controls for the Wii U Zelda.
I use to have a big issue with bug/bird catching but you have to do horizontal swings and actually line up the net exactly where you want it to go.
Night-time at one particular retailer's abode or that tall student's academy apartment.

I need another adventure slot free and i dont have enough money to buy anymore.... i have 2 shields.. how can i get rid of one?
For stuff that's on the ground, I find that I have substantially more success if I have net on the ground and twisted so I can do a horizontal swipe. It makes getting quicker bugs like rollers and ants a lot easier.
Put one in Item Check.

Can I say how much I love (super early character spoiler)
. Everytime I see him I get this great sense of relief like, "It's my bro! He's totally gonna call me bud!"

Just a quick question: How many dungeons are in this game? Same as TP?

Have you ever talked to the item check girl? She's in the bazaar.
Honestly with this game it doesn't matter so much about the dungeon count because there is so many different things you are doing and a lot of areas outside of the dungeons feel like dungeon areas as well as minidungeons. However, being technical to answer your question there are less than TP.

I think you're right...
I seem to have more luck coming from above with birds as they fly away upward. I'm no expert yet though.

I've really grown to like him as well. He's so earnest about discovering the world, and its funny seeing his reaction to you doing your thing, like playing the instrument or blowing up walls and such.

So far I've had to take this game in small hour long sections because it keeps driving me crazy with how poorly paced it is prior to the first dungeon. All I want to do is play the damn game, explore the area and get ready for the first dungeon. The game needs to shut the hell up and get out of the way, take the fucking training wheels off please.
I'm clinging on to the hope that the rest of the game is amazing, but so far I've seen nothing to suggest it is.
Just beat the boss at Eldin Volcano. Yep I can definitely say this is the best Zelda game since Ocarina so far for me. I think it's absolutely brilliant design. Usually after playing any video game for a few hours I feel drained and tired but after playing Skyward Sword I'm upbeat and excited for more.

Stupid guide the robot, and something a bit later were the only two things that I thought were terrible as far as padding goes. Other stuff was enjoyable
Just looking at him makes me whistle the song that plays in the Bazaar while talking to him. Awesome, I love this character. Beedle is awesome too: "thaaaaank yooou" (his voice is too funny).

Are bugs for anything but selling for money?

Down on the D-pad to dismount. Hold Z to get an overhead camera angle to better line up your jump.

The Fi training wheels come off in the second dungeon, and the third dungeon is all up to you. I'm on number four now.

I love how when you leave he gets so relieved that he doesn't have to act being happy anymore.
Down on the D-pad.
If you have any problems with controls, hit 2 on your Wiimote, they should tell you exactly what you need.
When you go to his house at night you see his true character.

Are potion upgrades permanent insofar as the potion type or are you just upgrading the given potion in your inventory? I'd be more inclined to start doing so if it's the former.
Hey! He's just an accurate representation of any salesperson. Put the mask on when the client arrives, take it off when he's gone.
No.
God damn it, I fucking hate motion controls.
The game is very good, but the motion controls are so damn frustrating to me at times. Things always seem to get screwed up with the positioning which makes certain actions work strangely and the reliance on precise timing for such an imprecise movement is extremely annoying. It's a good attempt, but I've had enough of it.
This is the kind of game I want to relax with and these fucking controls are just frustrating when I'm not in the mood to concentrate on them.
/end rant
Regardless, the game is so good that I can almost ignore it.

Why can't this already be the game I'm playing T.T
You can use them to upgrade the potions.
You upgrade the single potion (you need very few bugs to do so, after all). Not permanent.

What I want to know. I wish there was a couple areas in the game that actually REQUIRED you to get some potion upgrades or even USE certain potions (ie. stamina), so it doesnt feel like a complete waste of time upgrading them. So it only upgrades the one bottle? Pretty lame, and confirms the whole thing is a waste of time. They shouldnt even have bothered adding the system if there really is little to no benefit even touching it. You can go through the entire game without using a single bug or single treasure, so you wonder why the hell theres so much focus on them. Doesnt seem worth the development effort when its so non-integral to the game.

There had better be a fucking bee dungeon. Like, a dungeon where there's a door that says "you must have twenty bees to pass" and I'll be like "hell yeah I've got twenty bees" because otherwise I have way too many damn bees.

I'm in a controller throwing rage the likes of which I haven't experienced in years. I suck at motion games, whatever, I really can't stand it. Dark Souls is nothing compared to this shit.
Now I'm all pissed off and don't want to even look at the damn game. About to step on this piece of shit motion plus add-on.

Anyone feel the attention to make the game as immersive as possible might've been too much for it's own good? I always liked the simpler approach that was used in pretty much every Zelda before SS, the focus was always on gameplay and level design. With SS it's more evened out to give you that epic journey feeling throughout
I'm still loving it of course, but I feel it might've been a bit unnecessary making the game as grand as it is right now, looks and presentation-wise. It also gets a bit confusing in dungeons sometimes.

Big bear, he loves the honey.
It's really the main thing holding the game back, imo. I just died two times in the third dungeon for precisely this reason.
Also, I bought a Wii remote with the Motion Plus built-in, and every single time I turn my Wii back on the system fails to recognize the remote. When I try to use it to turn the system off, the whole thing locks up.

I just finished the game on
. 6 hearts, no shield, no bottles.
Amazing game. Love every bit of it. I wish there was more sidequests, but what is the main story, just brilliant. Long, full of new ideas and great controls. Best Zelda in a long, long time.

At least you said it was you. Just take your time to learn them. It's worth it.
Upgrading the shields is quite useful.
Upgrading the potions can be as well.
A red potion gives you eight hearts.
A red potion+
gives you full health, no matter how many hearts you have.
is the same as above, but has two servings in the same bottle.
It's not like you need a lot of stuff to do these upgrades.
