If it makes you feel any better about that sidequest,
neither results in Cawlain being happy.

I like that Fi's text, if you go through the whole sidequest and then Z-target her, implies that Link actually feels the same way.

Just stopping in (don't want to read any spoilers), but I am absolutely loving this game. It has a very real sense of... adventure that really defined Zelda 1 and 2. Dungeons are great so far.
The game looks great - obviously, low res textures and a healthy helping of jaggies, but the art style works well to mitigate those issues.
Motion plus works nicely - it's not perfect (it freaks out on me every once in a while), but I think it's a real value add. Sword fighting is really enjoyable, and the other "mini games" (so to speak) are all pretty well done.
There hasn't been a lot of plot progression at this point (2nd dungeon, with a lot of exploring), but the setup was very well done. It's fun to see a Link and Zelda who actually have a relationship - it makes the inevitable conflict more interesting.

This is the only image I've found that can be used as a cover (can't even find it any larger :/)
No luck finding custom covers, maybe ask for one in the minimal video game cover thread?
After blowing away all the dust, i point it at pipit's mom and she seems to like it... it's nice getting paid 20 rupees cleaning her house. i do it on the regular really, for that quick cash. t's pretty much where I get most of my sleep too. She tells me not to tell her son but I feel as if I have to. I can't seem to bring it up when I talk to pipit and I keep thinking I should but it never comes up.
It's so obvious....
This game is awesome.

I'm totally stuck at the
last dungeon, right in front of a a frog/fire gate. It's in the little garden with lots of waterberries hanging around. It's near the room where you find the mole who is suspended above the lavalake. Anyone know how to progress further? Obviously you cannot pick up a waterberry and throw it at the frogface
Is it alright if
I actually prefer the result if you give the paper to the hand?

Well, the fourth dungeon was great, just like everyone has said.
Really, I have thoroughly enjoyed every "proper" dungeon I've completed so far. Sometimes the overworld segments can be a little tedious.
I'm looking forward to getting the hookshot (or clawshot, or clawshots) so I can quit being tempted by all those targets all over the place.

Good to know. Thank you.
Thanks. Will try it when I get home.
True, but
not giving the letter to Karane means Karane and Pipit aren't happy either.

Getting a creepy ghost to torment Cawlin in his sleep forever and ever might be worth it.

Finished Dungeon Six, went back to the
and took care of business, got the bigger wallet.

What do you have against Pipit?
Huh (dungeon 3 spoiler)
The tree at Lanayru being the same one as in Twilight Princess was a nice touch. I was hoping to run into this reference! Glad to see it exists.
Also, do the robots remind anyone else of Midna's mask? The eyes are similarly unequal, and I noticed that the turning puzzle to access the mines had a similar sort of shape and pattern as it.

May I ask
which tree you're talking about in Twilight Princess? I think you're talking about the big tree that was made visible high on top of a perch-like thing
Yeah I did see that similarity as well.

Lol! I know, it sucks big time! Took me 4 tries to finally get it right, and my performance was really poor according to the owner xD.
Seriously why did you do it this way? Going to have to upgrade my

He's a hypocrite who goes on and on about knightly virtues but is in actuality only doing it for the money. He doesn't deserve Karane.
Not that Cawlin does either.

So I'm replaying through Skyward Sword
and I couldn't help but notice this.
What are those?
This is right after you enter Faron Woods for the first time, but the second time you see the Kikwi.
Excuse the poor picture, I don't have a capture device and had to use my cellular device.

In the first dungeon now. The item is pretty cool, but I have to ask
are the tunnels in the walls with the mushrooms in them meant to be impassible dead ends or is there a way to get the beetle past them? There's a heart piece in the room and I can't figure out how to get at it.

I laughed when
if you give the letter to the hand (and thus screw over Cawlin AND prevent Karane and Pipit from getting together), then talking to Karane afterwards in the Academy will have her say that Link's getting more and more handsome and that he gives off a "'reliable guy' vibe."
Doesn't make him a bad person though, he's just a good guy serving his village, but he holds a secret like everybody else
You're looking in the wrong place.

I'll check to see if they appear anywhere else. But thats the only time I've seen them, and as you can tell, they're only visible when a shadow is casting over them.

I really just don't like the type.
Actually, she still says that even when Pipit and her get together.
Look at all those black bars!

Looks like most of us really like it, although there are some detrimental aspects that are totally worth pointing out, like unnecessary fetch quests and plenty other small details. I speak for myself when I say I'm seriously enjoying the game, but that doesn't mean I can't savagely butcher and criticize its flaws.
I don't care about the general opinion, I'm playing it and it just keeps getting better and better. This far surpassed TP within the third hour.
TP's dungeon/level design and combat wishes it could sniff a morning fart of SS after a hard night of gaming excellence.
I'm not stuck saving some broad from a village that has no importance to Zelda. Plus, every single gimmick and quirk in the level and combat design so far has been meaningful and interesting and almost everything has something new added to it.
Also, the motion controls are satisfying and spot-on for me. If it's not working for you, something is wrong with your game/system/controller/set-up or you just suck.
The few fetchquests I've experienced don't get boring, last as long as they need to before they get boring, and are interesting and explorational/rewarding throughout.
Also I don't really understand the handholding bitching yet. Fi says stuff occasionally but it's short and not very often, and dowsing is optional and so are her hints.
Haters gonna hate. So far, best 3D Zelda ever, etc. etc.

Dungeon 5 complete. Story spoiler:
Holy shit, Link has the Triforce of Wisdom too? Wonder when they're actually going to start addressing that. He's not supposed to have it, what's going onnnnnnnnnn

She has Hena's (the fishing girl from TP) face.
Aw, really? It's funnier when you do it the other way.
About people complaining about battery life sooner... i checked and, yeah the gold Wiimote and its gold batteries must be made by gods. I checked and i played 16 hours of Zelda and the batteries are still with 3 bars. No where near what people said about changing batteries before even reaching the 2nd dungeon lol.
