Oh damnit. I knew it was gonna be something simple like that! Thanks for the help.
Half-way through.
IIRC,
You need to hit the switch near the desert entrance. It will bring the past to this area, and it will create vines that you can climb to reach the wheel.

Jesus.... me and Yoshi were more or less playing "normally" which was neither speedrun nor total completionist...
You're telling me we would've clocked in around 50-60 of game time? ( if it took us almost 30 hours to reach that spot ). Damn, here I thought that was the endgame and I wasn't going to miss out on TOO much while waiting to play the game again, somehow.

This game reminds me why I play and love videogames.
20 Hours played. On the way to the fourth dungeon. Best wii game.

Phew, just came back from the store with the controller bundle. I hadn't originally pre-ordered it since I didn't know if I would still be living in the same area, and my brother recently kept forgetting to order it for me. So today, I scrambled to try to find it, calling maybe 30 stores, from Futureshop, to BestBuy, to EB Games, to Walmart (who knew they took pre-orders!), but they were all either sold out or had copies only for pre-orders. Finally on my 7th Walmart, they had an extra and I had them hold it while I drove like an hour out to get it. So happy I managed to snag one, looking forward to playing it later tonight!

Pretty disappointed that while listening to the 25th Anniversary CD that I can't say exactly where each tune is. Just I know this is from Wind Waker or this is from A Link to the Past etc. :/ and I thought I was a Zelda fan too. There's no excuse for this.

Game is great. I have some nitpicks, but it deserves its place among the rest of the 3D Zeldas.
I'm sorry but I think we'll have to euthanize you for this. Please take a seat.
50 hours sounds right if you went on at that pace. I'm nearing 24 hours and what seems to be the endgame, unless there is some unforeseen plot twist I'd wager I'll clock at around 26-27 hours or so, in comparison I reached
the Sandship
Definitely harder than Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Probably harder than Ocarina of Time as well.

In terms of combat, it's definitely the most difficult 3D Zelda. I'll see how the puzzles stack once I beat the game.
*post-game spoilers*
I can already tell that Hero Mode is going to be a bitch. I can't wait to unlock it.
Picked up my copy this morning but only got a chance to play it now. On the way home I got a headache so had to rest to make sure that went away so I could enjoy the game. Still in Skyloft but so far enjoying it. Just did some swordplay for the first time and no trouble at all with the controls. Really just taking my time with the game so far and already have just over a hour clocked. Could see this game lasting me for a quite a while.

Yes, it's absolutely harder, at least as far as combat is concerned. Enemies make 4x the damage- a full heart, instead of a 1/4 heart. I've died a shitload of times from enemies, all it takes is a few hits. Also, heart replenishments are not very commonly found.

Wind Waker and Twilight Princess were criminally forgiving when it came to enemy damage. There was only one way to go from there.

Definitely hardest 3D Zelda. I actually died against Ghirahim, and have come pretty damn close several other times.
Hero Mode will kill me.
It's slow compared to most games. However, most games are 8-15 hours long, while this one is 35-50 hours long.

Skyloft theme gets in your head and now I cant stop humming along to it.

Just picked up the last non-preordered CE at Best Buy, so stoked!
Jesus, this game is amazing. I only have a few gripes with it, but it's hard to not give it a perfect score. I never thought this would pull me away from Dark Souls, but Nintendo pulled some magic stunts with this one. The items are so...useful. All the time
Lcd or plasma?
LCD. any preferred wii settings for a LCD? 42" LG

Me too. :lol
Is it really that rare and hard to find? Could it have some real value in the future?
take a pic. I have the same tv. I want to see all those jaggies
Lucky! According to the lady at Best Buy there were people lined up for Zelda and the 12 non pre-ordered copies sold almost instantly. Anybody know if Walmart is hanging on to their CE as a black Friday deal?
Sure... best I could while my sister plays (she's been at this like 6 consecutive hours now lol):
Not the best pic ever but I wanted to highlight those JAGGIEZ!

So I'm at the 3rd dungeon or so, favourite song is still one of the earliest ones in the game:
Fi's theme.
Controller is pretty
Ok, show of hands, who picked up the Mia from on top of the building saw the 'throw' prompt and heard this in their head?

I really want to buy the OST for this game.

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?
I've been roaming around the
for a good 30-45 minutes without any progress what so ever... how the fuck do I get to the generator rooms? I know where they are, but there's
and shit in the way...

how close do you sit to the TV?
going back in time (shooting the switch with your arrow) makes the electricity go away)

That was brilliant. I read that and said "umm... creepygaf?"
3rd pre-dungeon location is so fucking good. I mean, what the fuck. I'm even scared to think what is the dungeon like.
I have a question for those who had already completed the game:
I have a question for those who had already completed the game:
By accident I have seen the walkthrough list on ign.com. Now, I am at Lanayru Desert which is the 12th entry on the list which consists of 18 entries. So, after 13 hours I've already passed more than a half of new Zelda? Please say, that it is not true ;(.
