In the main room where you have the massive door to the final floor, right? F2?
If so, goddamnit lol
Can't remember exactly, it's just the floor where the chest is, there's just two torches in front of the boss door iirc.
yes lol

Getting near the end and so far it's been a wonderful journey. The music, graphics and gameplay are all exceptional. I just wish it wouldn't end.

I don't know if that helps, but you can listen to it on YouTube
But it's missing my favourite one, the Zora's Domain theme
Thank you dude!!
I almost have all the Maimai and 4 main temples remaining in Lorule.
I have yet to buy a single item though lol
Good enough that after practically 100%ing it, I started another save file on hero mode immediately.
1. Eastern Palace
2. House of Gales
3. Tower of Hera
4. Thieves' Hideout
5. Skull Woods
6. Swamp Palace
7. Desert Palace
8. Turtle Rock
9. Dark Palce
10. Ice Cavern
If I understand what room you're talking about:
Standing at the flipdoor (Part of the wall with the Helmasaur face): Far away button flips the door, near one operates the platform. Nearly drove me crazy too.
I keep thinking every Lorule dungeon will be my favorite then I like the next even more. I love how the upgraded hookshot is actually a viable offensive weapon and everything involving the sand rod is just great. Swamp Temple is the most enjoyable water temple I've ever played. Turtle Rock was just an okay temple but the boss is one of the toughest times I've had in the series. Almost every room has just a clever enough puzzle to make you feel like a genius when you complete it but they aren't too hard to where you get brick walled.
Is it just me or does the Hyrule theme after Lorule opens up tail off into the Ocarina of Time Hyrule Field Theme?

So far, for me, it's the most tightly designed, best paced Zelda I've ever played. I love the slow moving, large scope of games such as Ocarina/Twilight/Skyward, but I also love the more straight up fuck it just go go go approach, and Link Between Worlds is the best fuck it just go go go Zelda game yet.
It most certainly does. The cue was also heard either before or after you enter a Sacred Realm section in Skyward Sword.

Does anyone know what all the upgrades for the weapons are? I only have 30 maimais so far and I want to know before I decide which 3 to upgrade.
I wish I could finish TP but while replaying it recently it's freezing on me with an error screen after the exact same point in the game ;_; (in the arbiter's grounds when I'm about to begin fighting the mini-boss). Serves me right buying used from ebay. Won't be getting ALBW for a while either.
I'm playing on wii u wii mode btw, but does anyone happen know a solution for this since I can't find any info online? I just get a frozen black screen with a generic message "an error has ocurred, eject the disk and turn off the console" which I have to from the socket since since it's completely frozen. The disk does have a minor scratch but I never thought it'd cause something like this. I've tried wiping the disk from center to edge. Sorry to go OT.

I think its worth pointing out that screenshot is from a earlier build of the game.
The items are all in different places on the tables too in the final version (like the ice / fire rods being on opposite tables etc).
Hookshot
extends almost instantly, stuns enemies, and does the same amount of damage as the first sword
Bow
becomes spread shot with 3 arrows coming out at a time

It really isn't just for show either. This shit murders things.
I'm about to finish the game... was there a secret after finishing hero mode that was eluded too? Has anyone actually done it yet?
A link to it or obviously spoiler tags would be fine... even if you want to PM it to me. I won't be playing Hero Mode anytime soon, so I'm still curious as to if there was some big secret.

I played through all of Skyward Sword and never made the connection.

I had a blast playing through the first three dungeons. So extremely well designed and fast. I didn't think I would like fast dungeons but there was a huge fun factor in just zipping through them and figuring out some of the really neat puzzles.

So, how good is this Zelda? I played every Zelda up to Skyward Sword but somehow I find myself enjoying them less and less. Maybe its because I am getting older or maybe they are just getting worse (Fi! I hate you so much!). All that handholding and linearity.
I don't own a 3DS and would have to buy one just for this game (and maybe Phoenix Wright and Smash Brothers down the line). Would you say it is worth it? Fresh new Zelda? Unique expereince? How is the difficulty? Thanks guys.

Hahahaha
Just died like five times in a row. In the Eastern Palace grounds. Hero mode is insane.
No companion. No hand holding at all. Complete freedom to do whatever you want in any order you want. Challenging. Best music in the series.
It's one of the greatest games I have ever played in my entire life.

This game is basically for people who hate modern 3D Zelda. Luckily for me I love the hell out of both styles but this game is a great, welcome change of pace. Literally. The pacing is absolutely insane. It feels like the most gameplay centric Zelda title due to how fast it is, how smooth it is, the new mechanics, how short the dungeons are, just how fast paced it is. It really is a breeze and a joy to play.
I think my order was:
1. Eastern Palace
2. Tower of Hera
3. House of Gales
-
4. Thieves' Hideout
5. Turtle Rock
6. Dark Palace
7. Skull Woods
8. Desert Palace
9. Ice Ruins
10. Swamp Palace
Swamp Palace would have been one of the first few if
Turtle Rock was deadly with only 7 hearts. x_x

This game. Oh my god. I only just got the sword, but decided to start exploring. Already entered caves and found hidden treasure chests. Oh my god. The freedom, the exploration. It's GLORIOUS.
My favorite moment so far is when I noticed a cave that was in Alttp is not present here, but I still figured I'd poke the wall with my sword even though there are no visible cracks. And behold, I find I can bomb it. I see how some secrets will be found easier by those who know Alttp by heart like I do.
THIS GAME. Already my GOTY, no question. Welcome back, glorious 2D Zelda!!!

All I can say is... thank god I'm off work for the majority of the week due to Thanksgiving. And Thanksgiving is my favorite time of the year to play Zelda. Christmas is my favorite time of the year to play Donkey Kong Country so fuck you Retro.

Yeah I thought the same too! Great use of nostalgia
I'm dying everywhere in hero mode right now
This is like, dark souls-esque insanity. I'm actually having to use the sword and shield in combination to survive.
L is dedicated to the Pegasus boots for when you get them. To get weapons on X,
go to the clearing west of your house, and the blacksmiths wife will give you a weapons pouch
And you can't buy weapons until you enter Lorule.

Sounds awesome. I was on the fence anyhow but I think this does it. I guess I will buy the golden 3DS XL on monday. I will have to cut back on my eating but that will do me good too.
