EDIT: Misinterpreted the post. His problema isn't with carrying the bomb, its with the boulder.
Like Moff said, there are alternative routes to the
Swamp Palace

Wait, you can use the Titan's Mitt to get through those structures you need the bomb flower for?
I still wonder why Link lost his blacksmith outfit. Guess they couldn't find a nice way for him to go from that to his more traditional clothes and the fact there is very little difference between them.
He's referring to the giant rock blocking the passage south west of Link's house.
Moff

no, but he thought he needed to move some big boulders out of the way to take the flower to the swamp palace
Mind blown. I should have known this given the amount of times I've played Link to the Past but didn't bother to look for another route. I just thought "oh I need something else" and left the dungeon til later.

I think I'm near game end and I want to get every heart container before reaching the last boss.
I need just 3 pieces and I really dunno where to get them...
I suppose 2 of them would be given by
but then I'll still miss one.
Really dunno where it could be, considering I've mastered every other minigame.

last thief bros race and that masked guy that is asking for a shield

the race gives only 1 heart piece, the last one doesnt give another
also not quite sure about the shield guy, i dont remember anymore what happened there.
but its pretty hard to tell which ones you could have missed. honestly this was the first time ever I got all the heart pieces, witthout a guide even. I think they all are quite obvious.

Did they? I never knew about that. Did they just poach them from Capcom?

Mmh...Okay.
I don't think I missed some of the non-puzzle related ones...
Anyway, how could I do for that guy? I can't even buy him another shield, because shops won't sell me one unless I lost mine. :\
Try going back to the secret sanctuary entrance, the thing you did first.

Wow, Hero mode is kicking my ass! Tower of Hera boss killed me about 8 times before I finally managed to kill him. Really need to build up those heart containers and I think I'll do the Swamp Palace first once I get to Lorule,

This has easily been the best Zelda game I've played since Windwaker and has pretty much restored my faith in the series. Fantastic job, Nintendo.

Went into town [UK] to get the game just now. Both Game stores in the high street [wanted to use my instore credit] didn't have it in stock. Had no idea when they are going to get it back in either.
Wanted something to tide me over til Friday. Shame

There's always the eShop
£39.99 is a tad expensive when I could be paying £25 from Game if they had stock ;¬)
Spirit Tracks. Even though Zelda is technically with you the entire time, she is mostly relegated to interactions in cut-scenes and the main dungeon.

There are so many instances in SS where you would talk to a NPC, then Fi would come to explain what they just said and where you should go. Very irritating, especially with the slow text speeds. Its really egregious in the first forest area, which outside the Ancient Cistern, just sucked the big one. You can really tell there were different dev teams on those areas.
I'm finding ALBW much, MUCH more enjoyable on a moment-to-moment basis than SS, or any of the 3D Zeldas. No slow intros, no slow text speeds, no boring fetch quests, soooo much faster to get around, no helper AIs explaining the obvious, no padded out runtimes. Just pure Zelda.

How do you get the
pegasus boots? I saw the townsfolk make mention of some guy running around and I've seen him once or twice, but by the time I see him, he's already long gone.

Just finished the game. How in the world did this game have a better story than every Zelda after TWW? Even that feels straight from the 90's. I wasn't hyped for this game, media blackout wasn't difficult to me but now I think that this is one of the best games I've ever played and one of the best Zelda ever. The item renting? Awesome. Gameplay is smooth, fun and addicting. Best use of 3D and even if I disliked the artstyle at the beginning, now I fell in love with it. The OST is astounding, I want this composer to work on Zelda WiiU. There's room for improvement, but this game took the RIGHT direction for the series. Even minigames and subquests are fun this time.

With 4x Damage, you'll be thankful heart drops are still in.
Oh. In Germany retail is just as expensive as the eShop at launch :S

Really loving how speedy this game is, Link moves at such a clip that it makes trekking around feel effortless. Exploring is fun too, and the equipment system has made me use the pins a lot to mark areas of interest for future reference and such. Really digging the game so far, snappiest Zelda in a LONG time, and not too talky either which is just swell.
I try not use the rods, unless I absolutely NEED to use them (i.e., in the case of a Fire Temple). I find that they take a bit more magic power to use.
That said, I like sticking to the basics - the boomerang (my personal favorite), the bow, the hookshot, or some bombs.
Anyways, thanks for the advice!
Going slowly and just reached Lorule. THIS GAME. I knew it was coming, but I thought it would happen at the end of the game, so I was surprised when it happened at the midpoint: (post-Master Sword spoiler)
I also loved the (Hyrule Castle spoiler)

In addition I purchased the bombs and hammer. I'm aiming to get all of the weapons as soon as I have the funding, and upgrade them as soon as I have the Maiamais.
Yuga fusing with Ganon was an amazing sequence.

The last group of Poes take the north, east and west paths, and it took me a few tries to realize I could try going south, from whence I came!

YouTube is locked at 30 fps, isn't it?
EDIT: Yep, it is. To see it in 60 fps, you have to go to Nintendomination's home page, as it says in the description.
I'm not watching it, though. I'll get there myself!

They are definitely better when upgraded, gameplay wise. But sure, if you want more challenge, don't upgrade.

Its up to you. I found the fire rod to be a ton of fun once it was upgraded and it was the first one I upgraded. Its definitely helpful for the dark palace and ice ruins. The other rods are also a lot of fun to use in the tower. However I care less about difficulty and more about if its fun. Difficulty makes no difference in my enjoyment of the game unless it is on one of the extremes.

Are you talkin' about the first piece of heart container that can be obtained there?
Thanks. I've upgraded most other items already and really enjoyed the new features, so maybe I'll upgrade the ice rod before going into
Turtle rock
I'm surprised I haven't seen much shipping for these two.
Or "Awesome" fanart for the Zora Queen.

Irene is mandatory tsundere.
But wouldn't some be much harder? What if I do an easy dungeon when I've got 10 hearts? I feel like I'd be overpowered. Or should I not worry about that?
I just don't want to rent items randomly and find that the order I chose was a lesser experience.

Ok, now I just need the last one.
I have a question: is there a piece of heart container in the last dungeon?

The upgraded rods make me wish there was a Zelda game where Link was a mage instead of a swordsman.
