They do?! Holy crap, I'm glad I made a copy of my save before doing all of the final stuff! I need to go back and check this out.plus,skyloftians go outside at night and have different things to say.

If there's a way to transfer saves from an SD card online I can get you my save from right before the end whereMannnn, my file got saved over with a Hero Quest I guess I'll have to play it again to find all that stuff.
I liked the game overall even if it was a bit dumbed down from previous installments, but I was just bothered by the blatantly false info that had been shoved down my throat about this game. Twilight Princess was a longer game. I didn't just imagine hearing that false marketing, did I?
Game length, of course, is relative. It shocks me when I see how little time it took for some people to 100% Twilight Princess. Never believe game time estimates from publishers, ever. Besides, you're disappointed about 48 hours of playtime?
1. They never said it was going to have the most dungeons.Ok, I just finished this game and I'm a little upset.
I'm not sure if this came directly from Nintendo or not, but I remember reading all over the internet (including GAF) in the year before this game's release these two exciting proclamations: that SS would be the "longest Zelda ever made," and that it would have "more dungeons than any other Zelda." I also remember reading it should take 50 hours to run straight through, and around 100 hours to complete everything.
Unless you consider hero mode the second half of the game, (I don't) this is just ridiculous. I completed every sidequest, boss rush, heart piece etc. and beat the game in 48 hours with no guides or anything. I counted 7 dungeons, not as few as Majora's Mask but still not the "most of any Zelda," especially when you consider how short many of them were in comparison to dungeons from the earlier games.

And 50-100 hours is probably about right for an average player to finish normal.
I think you'd have to be crazy to not consider this the longest Zelda in the series by a long shot. And 50-100 hours is probably about right for an average player to finish normal. Yeah yeah you're just the best Zelda player ever and you finished it in 20 or whatever, but most people won't even be nearing the end by 40 hours in.
This is a VERY long game for Nintendo (leaving aside JP only stuff like Fire Emblem).
You have to concentrate on not accidentally moving your arm in an arc when you stab. It's harder to do when you're excited though.I'm probably a thousand years behind on this one, but I've discovered that the melody of the Lon Lon Ranch theme in OoT goes nicely overtop the Lumpy Pumpkin theme. I hum it aloud every time I wander inside. Also this game is delightful, but for the life of me I can't stab properly when it's actually required in battle.
That is indeed one damned tricky thing to do. I'm still not very good at it.You have to concentrate on not accidentally moving your arm in an arc when you stab. It's harder to do when you're excited though.
I expect SD, color, and the refusal to admit steadiness of hand and motor control to the list of things accepted as challenges played a part.How many of these guys overlook this game the way I overlooked it.

That all said, I also believe it's not The Best. Just very good, and I applaud its many fresh takes on the series.
The final boss is destroying me. 0-3.
I'll presumably beat it if I keep trying, but this is stupid.
He sword lasers my ass every time I try to skyward strike during the lightning part. I can get him on the ground twice, but that's it. If there's something after this, I'm well and truly boned.
The final boss is not that bad at all. I had to use only one potion with 17 hearts. Granted I had the best shield in the game, I'd imagine you'd be pretty screwed if your shield broke.
I don't have a good enough shield to weather his storm. In any case, don't you have to drop your shield to do the skyward strike? Am I right to presume that's not needed to beat him, then?
Yeah, this is where the old Ocarina-style hopping-around-while-Z-targeted skills will help.Well, you can't block and skyward strike at the same time, but you can still be far enough away from him to charge up and still be out of his range.
I wished I hadn't lost my (Goddess) shield, but I still managed with the help of lots of dodging and a few potions.Typically you should skyward charge right when he does it, it'll take him longer and you can get in a hit. If you want a better shield, do the boss rush from the thunder dragon. I found the shield to be extremely useful in the final two battles.

Ghirahim Battle Theme 3 is much better:

I just realized I never used a single potion in the game. The only time I ever bought/used them wasWas there anything good with the potions?giving the two that Forge wanted to him.

I think I only ever had my first two shields take single units of damage, so I guess I never missed anything with them. Just always went to look at the item shop for new stuff or deposit things in the item storage.Well some people have trouble with having their shield broken especially around the end, so a potion might help with that.
Timing is too hard to get right for this to be reliable.Not sure if people realize this, with all the comments about shields breaking lately, but if you use your shield attack to block instead of just having the shield up, its durability doesn't drop. Once I realized that, I never had to worry about a shield breaking again.

Much like so many things in this game, I'm not sure if I just suck at playing it or if the controls are bad. Probably a bit of both. But after 40+ hours of a Nintendo game, as a player you expect to have been successfully taught some competency along the way. Alas.
Flail, flail, flail, dodge. Flail, flail, flail, dodge.
Cool, apparently I'm doing it wrong! What's the secret to your success? Are you a robot?It really isn't (and I have slow reflexes).
Was there anything good with the potions?
The bundle netted you a new Remote Plus for $20 over, in case you can still find it in any stores. I saw one the other day at Best Buy.What's the cheapest way to get wii motion? Anything cheap with the add-on or is it cheaper to buy a new wiimote?
If you are needing/wanting another controller for the wii, it'd probably be in your best interest to just get the controller with it built in. The add-on was averaging around $12/15 USD before SS dropped, but it's been around $20/25 on amazon, typically since then.What's the cheapest way to get wii motion?
