This! It really is a pick up and play Zelda.
You were free to try! That's still a step up from other zeldas where they wont even let you try. Most of them wouldnt even let you enter the desert until you had the requisite item.
This is true.
I'd just heard "GO ANYWHERE DO ANY DUNGEON IN ANY ORDER" and assumed that that I was just an idiot for not figuring it out.

Well, arent mario club the guys that always break mario games in the most stupid ways? like the survive trial? If they cant do it, no one can.
Thanks. I feel so dumb now ...

I never had trouble with that, but that's actually really awesome. If I ever do a third playthrough I'll keep that in mind haha, save me some time.
Played some Endless mode in the minigame where you have to dodge cuccoos. Got 192.27 seconds. Reward was
So who is the cuccoo dodge king of the hill around these parts?
They talked about something interesting in the Iwata Asks:
My theory is that the "Endless" mode ends after 999.99 seconds and that would be how you clear it. Makes more sense since getting just 100 seconds is fairly easy I think.
100 rupees lol!

Im pretty sure I read out there that it cut off for someone at 999. I think the reward was still 100 rupees
Just beat the 2nd dungeon. I really liked the use of 3D
. By the way, it was a very fun dungeon. Though not a really big one, it was full of clever riddles.
And after killing the 2nd boss and leaving the dungeon, there were no long cinematic cutscenes, no unnecessary dialogue, and no fucking Fi with all her "HEY DUMBASS NOW GO THERE GODDAMNIT". I left the dungeon and... I just could go on with my adventure.
Lovely, just lovely. If the experience is so perfectly crafted till the end, then this may end as my top 3 Zelda of all time.

IMO, the game gets way better after you hit Lorule.
16 and half minutes of that dodging... I'm not going to try that lol.

The thief who stole the smooth gem has it. Sneak up on him in the north of town by melding with the wall.
Man those spoiler tags. I love to figure out stuff myself.
Ah thanks.
I didn't even try to get the guy since I figured you needed the Pegasus Boots to get him.

You still have to use the bomb flower. It's worth upgrading the ones you use, and the ice/fire rods are both very useful and have a dungeon designed around their use.
Just finished the game and holy shit...I didn't see that ending coming at all. Great story.
Not really a spoiler, but gonna spoiler tag it anyways
On another note, I like how they give a reason for the Zoras to be attacking people.

Captain should stay as a painting, the guy looks ugly.

Yeah the Pegasus Boots crap threw me for a pretty big loop too. :/ Oh well.
EDIT:
INORITE? It was actually pretty good IMO, especially with the implied moral of
In other news, just beat the Swamp Palace on my Hero mode run. Sort of wishing I had chosen some other dungeon first, since now the game is going to be twice as forgiving now that I have the blue mail.
Maybe next time I'll do a Hero Mode, no buy, no heart piece, no Blue Mail run.

It's not what you're doing, it's how you're doing it that matters.

That'll be fun. Every enemy will one-hit-KO you. Go for it.
Aww wtf, I wish it saved after beating the final boss.
I have to get the red mail again.
There's only 4 points in the game you use it. It's not a big deal.
Loving the game so far. I was extremely skeptical about the item renting at first, but it's actually fantastic. I love the fact that you can tackle the dungeons in whatever order and that you don't feel constricted in the over world. And besides, there is still some item and skill gating.
Also, thank fucking god for the wallet in this game. Wallet caps were the worst.
Still two Lorule dungeons to go. The dungeon design has been generally great so far, but I will say that the
has been my favourite thus far.

Tower of Hera
Just figured out how to get them! I think it's fairly logical even if the game doesn't underline it.
Nah. I hardly played ALTTP at all but I've had no problems. You're going to miss some references but this isn't the kind of game that leans to nostalgia without own merits.

You'll miss out on the nostalgia and references, but you won't be lost. It's still a great 2D Zelda game without any of that.
Nah. The overworld is the same, there will be a few callbacks, but the game stands well on its own.
Oops my bad, i've been pretty good about them so far.
I just finished the game.
I was genuinely surprised when Ravio showed up and took off his hood. Wow. I haven't been surprised by a Zelda game in a long time. I suppose I should've expected a Hero of Lorule based on the short scenes of Hilda talking in private. And Ravio giving you that bracelet was a little suspicious. But it never crossed my mind that Ravio was the Hero. Cool twist.
Gonna spend all of my rupees in Endless Cucco dodging.
It's in the room above the main room with the huge door.
Then you didn't finish! Hop to it!
The treasure chest in
Lorule Castle in the second highest floor.

I just kinda assumed he was dead, because of everything hilda said. Was a very pleasant surprise. Best story in a zelda game in years, and that's funny because it's also way less a part of the game.
Makes sense that I missed it then, because
I saw those chests on the map and was a bit too excited about being so close to the end of the game.
I actually went back with a clear mind and realise that while I had gone past that hole so many times and assumed it was a false exit from the cave before I had never once stepped foot in it.
I feel dumb.
