WTF? Is that the Legendary Hero himself? Bow. Whoever finished the game and complained the controls are bad/not precise or whatever should just watch this video and STFU.

I need help with one of the Gratitude Crystal missions. It's the one where the
HELP!
shopkeeper can't get any sleep because his kid's rattle is missing. I know you're supposed to dive off that cliff onto the nest, but when I dive I can't even get close. Is there some secret to skydiving? Do I have to hold the WiiMote a certain way? It seems like the windmill is blowing me back every time I get close to it.
HELP!

Check your quest log. Did you get all the items in the lower left corner?
Just point the wii remote about 45 degree down for a fast dive. Retry a few times and you will get the timing to reach your destination.
No, but I think I just realised what that is haha. I'll try out what I'm thinking next time I play.

Dive forward towards it, similar to the motion used to give your bird a boost. My best advice is to wait until the little beeping noise that indicates you can open your sail cloth starts. Immediately press B. That'll guarantee a landing with minimal effort
Yep, everything in the
Lanayru province
I like to think having a different team develop each area was kind of like a test to see who should be in charge of the next zelda. If that were the case I think we all know who won.
Given the progression of Zelda games since going 3d, I'm thinking whoever designed Skyloft won in EAD's eyes.
Team Eldin? Lanayru was good too though.

What, you mean the
Skyward Strike
Otherwise
he's far too frustrating to defeat in sword combat IMO
Anyone? ;_;
He's really easy if you just triple parry and hit him. I didn't know you could take the lightning until after I beat it. :\

For some reason
I was able to triple parry him in his first form, but when his sword is charged with lightning I either kept getting the timing wrong or else his strike was hitting me through my shield (Hylian)

I'd spoiler that
You only had to parry once on the first form, the third it NEEDS to be 3 on time ones or he'll knock you off balance. There's some way to make him kneel to the ground and hit him a lot but I never figured out how.
But yeah, that's the "wrong" way, or atleast the much less awesome one.
The first thing I did in the fight was see what Fi had to say, and she said "Skyward Strikes won't work in this realm" so I never even thought to try afterwards. One more for the book on why not to use Fi, ever.

Here you go. I love the tone of the song.
Might want to look away from the comments to avoid spoilers!
Because they haven't put out the OST.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Oh! When is it gonna be released?
Also, I'm trying to find the song that's sooo good - it plays when you meet Zelda for the first time I think? I can't really describe it, but it's got a flute-solo involved <,<...
They've never mentioned releasing it so who knows. I'm sure the theme you're looking for is floating around on youtube.

What the heck, Nintendo? Come on!
Trying to find it right now... it's hard

Seriously, it's like an extended version of this song:

Like, it seems to cut in the middle or something... there's supposed to be an awesome flute-solo somewhere in it! Anyone ;_;?

Aww, my favorite was Farore. Just good-old-fashioned, super-dense, highly-explorable Zelda overworld.

Oh my God, how did I not find it when it had the exact same name?! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Haha, no problem. : p
It's definitely one of my favorites too.
Now that you mention it...
It might be the flute that gives off that Hundred Acre Wood vibe.

It also makes me think of my first date with Zelda... best time of my life.
Use the Wiimote like a key.
Roll left and right. Pitch up and down. Practice in the sky. Once it clicks you, it's awesome and fun!
Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Twilight Princess... none of them got official soundtrack releases

That is so dumb... WHY DO THEY DO THIS!?Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Twilight Princess... none of them got official soundtrack releases
They should take the team that did the pre-Lanayru/Lanayru-Mines section and let them take over everything.

Will this corrupt my save if I decide to use this patch?

Technically, TP got a small soundtrack CD with the master sword + hylian shield model combo. Also I think it came with some nintendo power issue or something.

I personally think it sucks the
was as underutilized as it was, and as predictable when it was used. That could have been a cooler item. I also think the lack of the ability or use of items at the same time (again) was a wasted opportunity. Using these items in tandem could have set up great puzzles as well as ways to solve them differently, and even traverse the environment. The Wiimote should have been the perfect fit for this...

Just got all the gratitude crystals, wasn't a chore in the slightest. I got all the sidequest ones purely from playing the game and not dedicating any time to finding them. I just spent about 30 mins dowsing out the last few, which were no problem to find.
In regards to the reward..
Honestly, people who said this game lacked in sidequests and minigames were just wrong... whether you liked them or not is different, but it definitely has them. It easily has the most in the series imo. Not including Majora's Mask however, as it's unfair to compare SS to a game where the main focus is very serious and structured sidequests haha.
There was a constant stream of NPC interaction and quests throughout the whole game, and there's probably around... 8 minigames? Give or take.
I'm 47 hours in now and about to take on the
... whatever it is >_> I'll save that for tomorrow though.
In regards to the reward..
Wow, 9000 wallet? I can now hold 9900... is there any way to get to 10,000? Unless a goddess chest thing holds an extra +100 expansion, it doesn't seem like it. Anyway, the real reward is a human Batraeux, and even better (and unexpected) was the safe Skyloft! I think that's a pretty awesome reward. No more annoying slimes, bats and crazy Remlits. It's good seeing town people out on the streets at night, and also Batreaux in the Bazaar all happy lol.

Skyloft Trial
And that's it. I didn't realize this was the case when I beat the game this evening, as I was being very good about avoiding spoilers, and I'm severely disappointed by this decision by this game's designers. In no way does it warn you that you'll lose virtually all your progress if you select Hero Mode. This wouldn't be an issue if it just wrote a new file for you, but instead it overwrites your file and you lose everything except for your dumb bugs and more worthless treasure. Who cares? I was going to continue hunting for heart pieces and more worthwhile treasure after beating the game, but now I'm not able to thanks to the game unwittingly making me start over with virtually nothing. I didn't want to gather everything over again from scratch, but now I have no choice if I want to continue playing. I didn't want to be done with the game at this point, but I've been forced to thanks to the game itself.
Yeah the
was a lame prize for the best sidequest... come on. What use could I possibly have for it at this point of the game?!
And yes SS had ok amount of sidequests, but most of them were just stupid fetchquests. And by stupid I mean the ones with

Yeah, the sidequests generally sucked in this game. What happened to the trading sequence sidequest? That's been a hallmark of Zelda games for a long time.
Technically, TP got a small soundtrack CD with the master sword + hylian shield model combo. Also I think it came with some nintendo power issue or something.
Yes, it came with NP, but I believe the shield+sword combo was Target exclusive.
Also, it only contains like 6 songs
Seriously. Compare it to the payoff of sidequests in past games:
I should really stop comparing this game to OOT and MM. Making it look worse than it is. Too bad OOT and MM are just filled to the brim with awesome shit. The three 3D Zeldas since seem rushed in comparison.
