Step 2: Go to where the cat is at.
Step 3: Locate fish in water.
Step 4: Assign the fishing pole to the B button, and press said button to activate the item, thus casting the pole into the river.
Step 4: Wait a li'l bit.
Step 5: When the fish bites, the bobber will quickly sink for a brief moment. During this time, you are to pull up on the Wiimote, raising it above your head. Keep your arm all up there fo sho.
Step 6: Cool.

I was stuck there for half an hour too. They don't explain it very well. Fishing is a bit better when you get to Hena's fishing pond and you get a rod with a reel.

2. Watch the bob (floating stick thing on the surface). The fish don't catch the bob, they catch the hook dangling beneath the bob (not visible on screen).
3. You'll see the bob rise and fall. When you notice the bob is in the sinking motion (upward motion is too late), RAISE YOUR ARM UP (raise the remote) so your arm is almost verticle. Link's arm will also appear verticle. The screen will say you got a bite. If not, wait for the next sinking and change your timing.
4. Keep your arm up. To pull the fish out, bob the fishing rod up & down by slightly dropping and raising the remote (wrist flicks or arm movments; if you drop your arm to a, say, 45 degree angle, you'll give up the fish, so don't drop your arm too far). The movements should not be violent.

My brother had a hell of a time catching his first fish though so I guess there must be a certain amount of intuition involved or something. Because it certainly wasn't hard for me.

That is what tripped me up. I caught a fish, the cat's following me, everything's cool, right? I just have to make him follow me to the house and I'm done. NOPE. Catch another fish even though we give no indication that this needs to be done and it logically makes no sense why you have to do it twice. Bleh. There seems to be at least one moment in every Zelda game where I'm screaming "WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?" In Ocarina of Time it was playing the forest song for Darunia.
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on January 03, 2007, 06:07:29 AM
But playing the forest song for Darunia, a nearby Goron would tell you Darunia liked the music. That's hint #1. If yo' ass took too long to get moving, Navi told you to see Saria in the Sacred Forest Meadow. That's hint #2, and it was practically handholding.
Post by: segagamer12 on January 03, 2007, 06:14:08 AM
I cought my first fish and it didnt even let me do anything with it It just said to toss it back.
Oh and IM I already have a Dreamcast and Fishing pole controller so thanks for the suggestion now **** ***

No. Navi only said "Dur, I wonder whut Saria would say if we told her we were gonna save the world lol." And then you're like, "Nobody fvcking cares about Saria. Jerkface won't talk to me. O:<" I could take the hint, but it really makes no sense, and was a really awkwardly shoe-horned in way to require you to go get that song.
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on January 03, 2007, 12:06:32 PM
It totally makes sense. Doesn't matter what Navi said, she simply told you to run in a certain direction (if you were slow and needed handholding). What mattered was Darunia needed CHEERING UP. One goron knew Darunia liked the music, and it was up to you to trace it to the source, which you should've learned already by early exploration at the beginning of the game.
Pulling out the Ocarina in front of Darunia caused the positive jingle sound to happen anyway, indicating a song of some sort was required (< NOT CONFIRMED, I'M NOT LOADING UP OOT JUST TO FIND THAT OUT).
Ocarina and music were the theme of the game dur.
And I've noticed TP has more handholding than Ocarina. WHAT A TRAGEDY.

And all the 3D Zeldas that've come after OoT have been more handholdy than OoT.

While I'm playing TP, when I face a boss I immediately have the item I got in the dungeon ready. That's game logic. They just gave me an item so I'm to use it here. But when I was younger I didn't have that game logic. I acted like I would in real life. In real life it made NO SENSE AT ALL to return to the forest. A little while ago I just had this goodbye with Saria that gave me the impression that I would never see her again. It was like leaving on a long journey and then returning later that afternoon.
In game logic it makes tons of sense. Navi suggests you go somewhere. You go there and get a song. You can't figure out how to make Darunia do anything so naturally playing the song you just learned makes sense. Though I didn't notice the place to stand to play the song. I think that was the first time to game required you to do that. I didn't notice the ding sound because the Ocarina of still new to me. I think I assumed that was standard stuff. Afterall at that point you weren't playing songs to change the day, call the horse or teleport places yet. Odds are the only time I had played any song at that point was to play a song for Zelda.
Regardless of me not noticing the music thing, returning to the forest you just supposedly left forever a few hours ago makes no f*cking sense outside of game logic. That whole part felt horribly forced.

Remember you had to use Din's Fire to enter the Shadow Temple? If you never picked it up prior to visiting the room, you had NO CLUE such a spell existed. You just saw the fireball imprint on the pedestal.
On top of that, there were no obvious clues that told you to a Great Fairy would give it to you, nor where that Great Fairy was located. Forced? More like TOUGH LUCK PAL, YOU DIDN'T BOMB ALL OF HYRULE LIKE WE EXPECT YOU TO BUT NEVER TOLD YOU TO. I don't hear any complaints about that.
But you would've found it anyway, right? Cuz it's, oh, ZERUDA? and you're supposed to scour every square inch of land to complete the game, right?
Just like you would've ended up finding Saria and getting her song anyway, right? At least there was a goron available to point out the music relationship.
Hey, you failed to get that music clue, which was only a matter of talking to an NPC. Rather than being forced, it was your dumb luck that got you past the whole obstacle.

Backtracking to the Lost Woods was mandatory cuz you didn't have the ability to pickup bomb plants at that stage in the game (no Goron Bracelet, Darunia's gift), so you couldn't bomb the rocks that blocked the shortcut's path.

QuoteWait a second. When you got the spin sword attack (top of Death Mountain) which was heavily hinted at (Someone outright told you to go to the top, then Navi kept reminding you) the Great Fairy does her stuff, then tells you to visit her "sister" (?) in Hyrule Castle. Once you get to the castle it's not exactly hard to find the other fairy and get Din's fire. After you got the bombs you knew that those types of rocks could be bombed.

This is a thread of nintendo geek supremacy. Real Zelda fans remember these things =D
(at least my memory is somewhat photographic)
I probably remember where most of the 100 skulltullas are as well.
