Does anybody know what the end results of the Cawlin's litter side-quest are?

If you give the letter to what's her name, she and Pipit fall in love and you get 5 gratitude crystals. If you give the letter to the toilet hand (I love how they keep brining that back), as far as I can tell nothing happens. You tell Cawlin that you gave the letter to the hand, and then I think you are supposed to figure out who it was, but I have no idea how. If I can't figure out I am just going to go back ot my save right after you get the letter, and redo the Pipit way.


damn, gave it to the hand in the toilet lol I hope there will be some event after that :/
Let me know if anything else ever happens down that path, I will revert my save and put off doing either for a while.


yeah there is happening something:
at night, go to goos' room. cawlin is there sleeping. go to him and press a, the hand will show up and thank you for giving her the letter, and you get 5 gratitude crystals

At Cawlin and Pipit and Kemera
I gave the letter to the girl and the "hand" (as seen on Majora's and Link's Awakening) just vanished. I got my 5 crystals, but I guess that's it. I figured that if I gave the letter to the hand it would return it to me because it was important or something. I thought that I missed this part, not that you would miss it too.

I'm currently with 36 crystals, the reward for 30 crystal is great.
Beedle is an ass, the son of a biatch raises the prices everytime. Damn.

Passed the 4th temple, on the way to the 5th. Almost there, I guess. Just got the dowsing ability to find it.

By the way, walkthroughs over the net are plain wrong, the say the woods get flooded before the 4th temple, but this is just plain wrong.


By the way, I feel the game will have only 6 temples, or maybe one final 7th temple. Is that it? The map seems so empty, I'd really like to finish the game and have a full colored map, not only separated regions.
Anyway, only 1 main item left, and it's the
bow and arrow
.

I repeat my question, did anyone manage to perfect the harp playing minigame at the pumpkin house?

The switches are at the main room, there is a space where you crawl to find the room with the first switch, it will then flood the area so you can reach the second, at the top.

Anyone know where to get Bird Feathers?
Catch birds, just like you catch bugs. I found that out pretty late in the game. You can catch blue bird feathers this way, there is sometimes one blue bird in the group of birds. Blue feathers are found inside chests too, normal feathers only through catching birds with the bug net.

For the solution to the one above one below, refer to post 1, question one in the skyview section =)

The switch for the left door is on the bottom left right under the door in a little passage. I did the left door first before raising the water, so you might have to try to find a place to stand where you're not in the water. Answer provided by syko5150

I don't know what 'perfect' it means, but to me they she said "Yeah, you are better than I thought. I must have underestimated you!", and now I'm able to play at the bar every night for rupees if I want to.

I cannot figure out how to kill the Skulltulas that hang from the ceiling.
Killing one is really hell, i almost died a few times in the first temple just because of them, you have to hit it from the side so that they turn and then hit it with the forward attack in the weak point.

The best way I figured was a sideways slash to make them go spinning and then two quick forward stabs. I hate those Skulltulas though, my rating on them given by Fi is horrible. :P

I'm glad i'm not the only one with trouble at killing them. I'm halfway though the 4th dungeon and still haven't encoutered another enemy as hard to kill as those damn spiders.

Is anyone else having an issue with the slingshot(on Dolphin Emulator)? For Some reason when I aim it the damn thing shoots in a completely different direction!

Aout the spiders hanging on the ceiling, the best way to kill them is using your beetle to cut the "rope", then the spider will fall on his back and you just have to make your fatal blow (lock on and downward motion nuchunch & wiimote).

Hey guys I'm stuck in the Lanayru Mine - its quite at the beginning: I just had to cross a room filled with quicksand & some small islands, while lightning shooting monsters attacked me. If i walk into the next room, theres a locked door infront of me (which could be unlocked by a time crystal), and theres a long floor with quick sand, which i can't pass. Is there someone willing to help?

The spiders are so easy to kill. Just do a slash going from down to up. it will flip them on their side and fatal blow them to kill.

Can't believe the trouble I've had killing those things and tried every sword move but down to up :D

Haven't got the beetle yet - this was still in the Farron(?) Wood temple. Or should I have got the beetle by then ?

No, you'll get the beetle in the temple. It will get easier if u have the beetle, but till then... these skulltullas are just a pain in the ass
