Title: What is your favorite Puzzle in all of the games
Post by: Jale on December 23, 2003, 08:06:13 AM: What is, out of all of the Zelda series, your favorite puzzle. Mine was the one at the end of the earth temple in WW where you have to reflect light off loads of mirrors and onto that big sun to be able to get to the room where you get the boss key.

Ditto. I enjoyed that one because it was hard for me. It was one of the hardest puzzles in the game. (in my opinion) I like puzzles that are hard. It makes me have to use my noggin.

You know, where you had to push that certain block down, but first had to hit switches and stuff. Yep. Well most times I didn't bother with the trouble and beat the Swamp dungeon first to get the red staff, so that I could create my own block.

Post by: RABicle on December 30, 2003, 03:05:35 AM: I liked many of the Wind Wkaer's puzzles for their freshness, a lot were new to zelda games. One I can remeber was the only way to safely fall to the ground below, which was mainly lava, was to collapse the bridge you were standing on. The bridge was the same width as the only land crossing the lava. Oh yeah and cutting the bridges ropes or simply bombing it was cool too. I think in the same dungeuone you had to do a similar thing slicing the ropes to allow a platform to be moved by the lava. I loved it!

Post by: SearanoX on December 30, 2003, 04:22:26 AM: Puzzles in Zelda...hmm...there are simply too many to choose. I'd say I've liked each and every one so far. Most of them have been at least somewhat challenging, while others have been so difficult that when you find the solution, you scream out in frustration because it was right in front of you the whole time.

I suppose a few that stand out are the Mirror puzzles in Majora's Mask, nearly everything in the later-game Oracle of Ages and Seasons, and perhaps some things from the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time.

this is my most hated zelda puzzle. i've beat link to the past at least half a dozen times, and i've never figured out how exactly to do this puzzle. i always sort of figure this one out by accident.

my favorite puzzle is going to have to be the water dungeon in ocarina of time. i can't narrow it down to just one trial, so i'm going to say the entire thing was great. some of the best level design in any of the zelda games.

Post by: Jale on December 30, 2003, 01:32:54 PM: I hate the Water Dungeon! But not as much as I hate the Shadow Dungeon. The best temple in OoT was IMO the Spirit temple. I liked all those light puzzles and the TIme Travelling thing was fun.

see, i had that puzzle ruined for me. i can't remember how, but i remember knowing how to do it before i even entered the dungeon. i think i accidentally read it in nintendo power or something.

Post by: Jale on December 31, 2003, 08:05:04 AM: That dungeon was good. I played LttP on an Emulator (dont tell!!) and I found it fun. However it was so hard that I had to use the built in game shark! Im so ashamed

You just have to look at the map a lot. And think.
