If you actually handed that game to a human being, I have a hard time believing they'd be able to complete even half the content in the game without a FAQ. There is no information given about the sidequests, or even where to go! Is there something I'm missing?

I used to not really like MM when it came out because it wasn't OoT part 2. I played it for real like three years ago, no nostalgia, no faq and it's now my favorite Zelda.

An faq isn't really needed. You look at the schedule the bombers give you and apply that to your own schedule, do the sidequests and repeat.

Raban · « **Reply #302 on:** August 30, 2011, 12:56:11 PM »

Well my save's still there, so I'll probably head back to it at some point.

what are you having trouble with? anything and everythign is hinted at in the game you just gotta explore and check your journal and know where every character is, and how to get to them (example: romani ranch)

Raban · « **Reply #304 on:** August 30, 2011, 01:06:09 PM »

Just the sidequests in general. I tried getting the bomb mask and some other stuff and could not remember how and didn't want to look it up. I talked to most of the NPCs, but it was just info I knew. "The shipment of bombs is late today, wonder why!", shit like that.

So, I'm guessing if I talk to the people in this book around where that blue square is, I'll get somewhere in their sidequest?

Himu · « **Reply #305 on:** August 30, 2011, 01:23:57 PM »

First you have to find the character, then go to the time period where their blue is marked, see what's up. You'll probably get a clue. Sometimes you can't finish sidequests without certain masks already obtained, sometimes like in the Anju/Kafei quest you have to do quests in sequential order.

Raban · « **Reply #306 on:** August 30, 2011, 01:26:06 PM »

Okay, I'll give it another shot then.

Game shows shit BORING footage for over a year with not ONE decent trailer. Of course people thinks it looks fuckin GAY. Hype is dependent on media. There was NOTHING to be excited prior to yesterday's media onslaught. Especially since trailer shows A LOT of new shit for Zelda.

cool breeze · « **Reply #330 on:** September 13, 2011, 10:09:10 AM »

the main waggle actions like sword fighting and aiming the bow look fine to me. whereas Twilight Princess had waggle for a button input and requires successive waggles for repeated strikes, Skyward Sword videos show enemies who take less damage. It's more like one or two well placed waggles instead of seizuring at one.

the smaller stuff like bird and beetle flying using the Wii Sports Resort tilt flying bothers me because it doesn't make sense and is less intuitive than the analog stick. still, the other items in the trailer are almost Ape Escape-ish and I like that.

I notice the video ended just before you find 20 useless rupees.

Just kidding - Zelda loot is pretty good on the whole, unlike Fable.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #345 on:** September 21, 2011, 02:02:37 AM »

Worthless rupees are fine, the shitty part about how TP handled them was:

a) giving that stupid "lol can't fit in your wallet!" message
b) having rupees be a major treasure in the overworld after having spent 10 minutes on an overworld puzzle. Gimme a heart piece or something useful, niccas

Nope.

Oh I forgot about Zelda fanboys whining about TP not being creative enough cause the dungeon order is the same as OOT.

Who honestly fucking cares as long as the dungeons themselves are designed right?

TP had arguably the best dungeons in the series.

Yet we all know how much that helped.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #348 on:** September 21, 2011, 05:49:52 AM »

TP is shit.

No game should make you play for 8+ hours to get any good.

I'm sorry if the rest of the game is amazing, if you have to spend a whole working day trying to get to anything good, the game is really not that good to begin with.

I can't believe you say the beginning of Gears 3 is slow but think Tp is good.

TP's dungeons were amazing, aside from the Twilight Realm one, it seemed like they ran out of ideas at that point... It's a shame the game had such a slow start, it's still my favorite 3D Zelda.

Majora's Mask also had awesome dungeons, but there were too few of them!

Himu · « **Reply #354 on:** September 22, 2011, 04:54:19 PM »

He's trolling dude, that's so obvious.

In any case, I've always liked Zelda dungeons but my favorite parts of Zelda are always outside of the dungeons. This is why I like Majora's Mask so much, because you have puzzles outside the dungeon to solve, an adventure to conquer, a land to explore. It's not just about GO TO DUNGEON AND GET THIS KEY ITEM.

Raban · « **Reply #355 on:** September 22, 2011, 06:54:21 PM »

More like this game is being designed with those folks in mind, so they'll be fooled into buying, praising, and fooling other impressionable jerks into buying what is ultimately a pretty dull adventure game.

So this Zelda is less about the dungeons and more about the overworld? That'd be good for me - dungeons are cool and all, but I like the overworld more.

I really didn't mind the Wii controls... except for when playing as a wolf. Never felt very good.

But the sword swings were decent, and the bow/clawshots were awesome with it.

I never felt the opening was very long either but I have a skewed sense of time when playing Zelda. I did get frustrated a couple times though, like sending the hawk into the cat a couple times. Some things weren't made clear enough.

That one and Hyrule Castle were kind of disappointments, which left a bad taste in my mouth when I finished the game because they were the last two in the game. I really wish there was more to Hyrule Castle in particular.
