The wait for Twilight Princess might give me some time to catch up on Zelda stuff. I'm a huge Zelda fan and even for me there are things I haven't yet done:

1. Gotten around to playing Four Swords. Since that requires another person this isn't easy, but it's the only official game I still have yet to play.
2. Gotten around to finishing Link's Awakening DX. I've played the non-DX version enough times but never played at least the Color Dungeon, sheesh.
3. Gotten the Hylian Loach in Ocarina Of Time. Grrr. And then if it's there, I'd probably have to do it again in the Master Quest version.
4. Gotten all the Heart Pieces in Minish Cap. I probably have to start over, though.
5. Shot up that fish guy in every location in Wind Waker. Oh, and finishing the game in his pyjamas.
6. Gotten to Level 99 in Weapon Master Mode of Soul Calibur II. I'm not good at using Link, but he's useful in one stage for quickly throwing a guy over the edge. It still takes hundreds more of that to get to the highest Level, though...yipes.
7. Finished The Legend Of Zelda in Animal Crossing. It's harder than I remember, I guess I got too used to more fluid controls.
8. Finished Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link on the Colectors Edition Disc.
9. Finished the various challenges in SSBM with Link, Young Link, Ganondorf, and Zelda/Sheik. I don't remember, but there are probably some Multi-Man Melees left to do.
10. Tried that riddle/basket-capture thing or whatever in the GBA version of A Link To The Past. I forget what this is about but it's still something I ought to do.
11. Gotten a hold of The Legend Of Zelda cartoon DVD. And then I'd have to watch it.
12. Fixed my glitched copy of Super Smash Bros. so that I can select characters other than Mario (like, say, for example, Link) in any of the 1-P modes.
13. Finished the Game & Watch Zelda. I'd have to find it again, though. I bought it in really good condition...hope it still is. I could play the Game & Watch Gallery version on the GBA, but then I'd have to earn it first too.
14. Gotten a hold of the Japanese version of Four Swords Adventures just for Tetra's Trackers. Hope I'll be able to understand it, though.
15. Gotten a hold of the Game Watch Zelda, not to be confused with the Game & Watch Zelda. And then I'd have to finish it.
16. Gotten a hold of the CD-i games and a CD-i, and braving those three weird Zelda games on it.

See? Lots still to do. I think I've probably forgotten something in the Oracle games, too...

1. When you say Four Swords, you mean the GBA version right? Because you can play FSA single player...
2. I never figured out how they expected you to find the color dungeon on your own, sinc eyou have to move certain gravestones a certain direction in a certain order. It was cool though, you get to choose between two groovy items at the end =o
3. THE LOACH. Forgot about the loach, I have to do that too.
4. There's so much stuff in Minish Cap, I don't think I'll ever finish it. It's like the WW figurine gallery, except MC has a gallery too, plus boatloads of other stuff.
5-13. Stuff
14. Oh I see, you WERE talking about the GBA four swords.
15. Stuff.
16. OH MY

I still haven't played Four Swords (Noone has it around me...I'm so sad ;_;.) Four Swords Adventures more than makes up for that loss, though...Such a great game...

These so-called CDI games don't even exist, stop spreading rumours...

JonLeung · « **Reply #3 on:** January 30, 2006, 08:43:01 AM »

Yeah, the CD-i Zelda games are at the bottom of my list. For the most part, that list was made in terms of priority. I probably won't ever get all the way down there.

If I ever did somehow get a hold of them, and if they're as bad as everyone says, then I will add to my list:

17. Hunt down those people that mishandled the Zelda license.

vudu · « **Reply #4 on:** January 30, 2006, 08:45:53 AM »

You forgot the slider puzzles in Wind Waker. I'm guessing you didn't bother to do those once you beat the second or third one. (I know I didn't.)

Pale · « **Reply #5 on:** January 30, 2006, 08:49:04 AM »

Four Swords really just feels like a demo of Four Swords adventures... If you played Four Swords Adventures you aren't missing anything from the portable one.

My wish list, though this won't actually happen casue I don't have time with all the other games i'm playing ><

1. Actually finish Majoras Mask (I'm very ashamed of this)
2. Actually finish Adventures of Link (Not so ashamed of this as it was crazy hard when I was a kid)
3. Now that I own both Oracle Games and Links Awakening DX, I'd like to finish those as well (Just bought them for the first time recently so I'm not so ashamed of this either)
4. Play WW in Link's street clothes and get all of the trophies/figures.

Aside: I would also like the Zelda cartoon box set too, but that isn't really game related.

Also, I beat the hell out of Minish Cap.. first Zelda game I've ever done that on. There is nothing left I can do in that game. I feel for you though Jon. I will admit that the only time I had to go for a FAQ when I was playing it was to find my last remaining heart piece.

IceCold · « **Reply #6 on:** January 30, 2006, 08:53:33 AM »

Have you finished the Nintendo Gallery? Becuase I got oh so close, but I couldn't, so I didn't go back.. I don't think it's worth it.

Pale · « **Reply #7 on:** January 30, 2006, 08:56:34 AM »

In Minish Cap? Are you referring to the figures you get all lottery style like SSBM? Yeah, I got that done, even with the new figures that become available after beating the game.

UncleBob · « **Reply #8 on:** January 30, 2006, 09:05:19 AM »

I *Love* Zelda (although I know I'm not the only one). Let me address some of these!

1. Gotten around to playing Four Swords. Since that requires another person this isn't easy, but it's the only official game I still have yet to play.
Again, assuming you mean the LttP/Four Swords version, yeah, do this. It's fun. Honestly, I find it more fun that FSA's Hyrulean Adventure in Multi-Player - There's less co-op in Four Swords than FSA/HA - which means less "You do this, I'll do that" and more exploring/playing.
I have two copies, if you want to come over and play sometime.

2. Gotten around to finishing Link's Awakening DX. I've played the non-DX version enough times but never played at least the Color Dungeon, sheesh.
SINNER! Best Game Ever! Although the Color Dungeon was a disapointment, still.
BTW, KnowsNothing, there's a [spoilers]book in the Library that tells you [/spoilers] how to move the stones.

11. Gotten a hold of The Legend Of Zelda cartoon DVD. And then I'd have to watch it.
16. Gotten a hold of the CD-i games and a CD-i, and braving those three weird Zelda games on it.
These two could be the hardest things of all to do.

The Zelda Cartoon is on WalMart.com and two of the three CD-i games are pretty easy to get. The third, Zelda's Adventure was only released on small scale in parts of Europe... Good luck on that.

13. Finished the Game & Watch Zelda. I'd have to find it again, though. I bought it in really good condition...hope it still is. I could play the Game & Watch Gallery version on the GBA, but then I'd have to earn it first too.
You could always easily download a GBA Savefile to unlock the Zelda for you.

It's fun on the GBA.

14. Gotten a hold of the Japanese version of Four Swords Adventures just for Tetra's Trackers. Hope I'll be able to understand it, though.
If you use the FAQ file on GameFAQs for Tetra's Trackers, you'll be able to stumble through it pretty easily.

15. Gotten a hold of the Game Watch Zelda, not to be confused with the Game & Watch Zelda. And then I'd have to finish it.
They're on eBay quite often... but they can get kinda expensive at time... (Get it? Watch? Time? ha! I kill me!)

18 Watch a sunset over Lake Hylia and pretend you were making out with Malon on the shore. That should last you several hours.

Library? I'm playing games instead of reading books, why would I visit the library.

four swords GBA rules, much better then gamecube

Hypnotic · « **Reply #12 on:** January 30, 2006, 11:56:51 AM »

i never finished majoras mask as i couldnt get kaffei's (sp?) wedding mask...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #13 on:** January 30, 2006, 12:23:17 PM »

Finish? You mean beat the game or complete the mask quests that don't affect your progress in the main game at all?

[Reggie's gonna take your name--I mean sig, soon]

stevey · « **Reply #14 on:** January 30, 2006, 12:44:23 PM »

I have only a few thing to do on my list of stuff on loz I made a long time ago.

1: finsh LOZ:LA-DX
2: re beat the WW and find all the clue to tp
3: find/buy/finsh loz: OoA
4: finsh loz: OoS

Sorry, should have made it clearer; I was asking Jon if he had done this in Wind Waker..

And don't worry Hypnotic, Pro was only joking.

"You forgot the slider puzzles in Wind Waker. I'm guessing you didn't bother to do those once you beat the second or third one. (I know I didn't.)"

I did that. It just starts over.
I also did the Nintendo Gallery.
I beat Wind Waker about as much as it could have been beaten.

JonLeung · « **Reply #18 on:** January 30, 2006, 05:39:59 PM »

Yeah, I got all the figures in Nintendo Gallery, but having missed a couple the first play through, that was what spurred me to play the second time. So now I've got a completed gallery and a half-finished "second quest".

I also probably didn't do all the sliding puzzles. Grrr.

I think it's the sailing part of Wind Waker that I really didn't like. If only they could have a 3D Zelda game with enemies crawling all over the landscape like the 2D games. Not like Hyrule's and Termina's open, empty fields in the N64 games or Wind Waker's mostly boring sea. I realize that it's far from easy and probably requires a lot of processing power, though. Maybe the Revolution Zelda can handle a bit more excitement on the overworlds.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #19 on:** January 30, 2006, 07:24:26 PM »

Well ok Heres my to do list. First I will make it simple by saying that I intend on beting at least 1 othr Zelda game befoe playing TP, So far I have only beaten Link to the Past and only on SNES, I had teh GBA version but traded it for soemthing along time ago before I finished it.

So I want to sit down and beat original NES Zelda 1 and 2 and then OOT and then I plan on buying Wind Waker in the next month or so and play that all the way through just so I can get prepped for TP.

Other than that I dont have much else I need to do Zelda related. I do however plan on buying some new games for my DS and whatever I can find for GC that I still havent played yet.

All I can say is... get cracking.

i'm so going to go play majoras mask again, i really should beat one of the zelda games i own but havn't beaten yet

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #22 on:** January 31, 2006, 03:03:37 AM »

I own virtually all Zelda games SNES onwards...

and the only ones I had the attention span to finish were Ocarina and Wind Waker.

EDIT: Wait, I do own the NES ones, I have Collector's Edition...

How about finish the second quest in the original Legend of Zelda? I've never done that, either.

Mario · « **Reply #24 on:** January 31, 2006, 06:18:24 PM »

I'm not going to touch anything Zelda related until TP, that way it will be a fresher experience. I'll also play lots of N64 and PS2 games the week before I get it, so i'm actually impressed by the graphics.
