Are you implying that my posts are "all things bad"?  You're breakin' my heart. ):

[wandering]

Aw, don't feel bad. Your posts aren't all bad. Okay, forget what I said earlier. Go ahead and change your avatar.

....No, seriously. Change it. It creeps me out. I swear I saw Kenwhatever blink once or twice.

Blackplague, you know we have spoiler-text for spoilers, right?

[Smoke39]

There should be a button for spoiler tags, like all the other tags.

The last post in this thread is from BEFORE LAUNCH.  That is terrible.

Anyway, all the threads round here are about Zelda spoilers, so this thread is going to be the place where you can just come in and scream at the top of your capslock how AWESOME THIS GAME IS.  This game could really be the greatest Zelda ever, even beating out my beloved Link's Awakening D= It's basically OoT, except EVERYTHING is better (except for the music, which while still awesome, does not beat out OoT since oot's soundtrack is teh best ost EVER!!!11!!!)

My favorite area so far is either TEH LAKE or TEH FISHING LAKE.  So omg awesome.  Music rocks too.  Favorite character in game (and possibly EVER) is the fat sad clown at TEH LAKE.  The Gorons look sooooo cool.  Epona runs FAST.  Bomb arrows return for ultimate glory.  Chicken fetus is runner up for best item/character.  Midna is also the best companion ever.  Zelda and Link are the sexiest ever.

You're grasping at straws

Welcome to the club...

Hate clowns, though...How can you like the clown?  Clowns are just........CLOWNS, UGH!  (Midna, Ilia, and Agitha for the win!)

I'm 10 hours in, and I'm still in the second dungeon.

I feel that this makes me retarded in some way.

Agree/Disagree?

(For the record, it took me about an hour to figure out how to get that damn cat back to its owner)

[BigJim]

Sorta stuck at a part. Harumph.


Ok, so basically I'm at the part where you have to help the lady and the sick zora kid across the field. Call me a noob, but there is something difficult about controlling Epona, multiple weapons, fending off 5 enemies, and blowing out fires at the same time.   Maybe my B-trigger/Z-targetting technique is just fubar'd. What does everybody else do?  

[Bill Aurion]

BigJim: I ran ahead and took care of the Bullblings so they wouldn't set the carriage on fire...Then I stayed a little behind the carriage as the boar riders caught up, and took care of them...Then as you come to the opposite side of the big field, watch for the bomb-dropping Pterasaurs and take them out before they can steer the carriage off-course...  

[BigJim]

Bill: My problem is basically that I can't seem to effectively z-target while on Epona. I'll been almost right behind the carriage and try to blow out a fire... I pull the B-trigger and try to Z-target the carriage but it doesn't "take" most of the time. Mix and repeat as they get away from me and I have to catch back up again. Grrr. So I thought something was just plain wrong with my technique, which is to say, I apparently have none.  

[KnowsNothing]

Are you pulling the trigger and THEN targeting?  Try targeting BEFORE you pull out your boomerang, so when you hit B you can instantly release it and put the fire out.  Or maybe you are doing that and you just suck >_>  

Also, at one point during the whole ordeal I actually got off Epona and fought the enemies on foot.  I knocked them off their boars while on epona, then I got off and killed them.  Then I hopped back on Epona, caught up with the cart, and continued on.  It was much easier than trying to to do it all on horseback.

[BigJim]

Wow, I'm a moron. I B-triggered before Z-targetting. Got through handily by z-targetting first. Thanks Knows. What a dumbass thing to get stuck on. lollerz BigJim sux. Thanks Bill, too.

[Crimm]

Hey, don't worry.  I got stuck there too.  I spent a good 10 minutes in a loop because of the damn bombs  

[Hostile Creation]

That part was absolutely awesome.
I didn't use any techique, though.  I just went straight at it.

Check out my thread, it kind of got buried with the onslaught of Wii posts, it was created especially for avoiding spoilers!

I think this is definately the BEST 3D Zelda game created, without a doubt.  And it may be my favorite Zelda game period.  The vast variety of play options is incredible.  Though, the size of the game may be intimidating for repeat play throughs...with will make Link to the Past potentially the ultimate Zelda experience...as repeated play throughs aren't completely time consuming and always enjoyable.


The best part of this game, is the story telling direction.

The game begins with a more linear focus with strong story arc elements, directing the player on a very specific path.  These leads to some of the coolest moments in video game history, and allows players to push forward and get additional weapons and items to play with.

Then, once the player has enough options to truly play around and explore, the game seems to take a step back from the story elements and open the entire world to play in.  The field seems to have a nice variety of enemies to kill and practice, and the secrets as vast and worth exploring the entire world for.

Truly one of the best paced games ever created.
