I tried walking slowly and it won't work.

Edit: I had to drop down and climb across the ledge.... That also solved my second question as it lead me to the other side of the rocks so i could blow them up.

How the hell do I beat the imprisoned the third time? The way to the bombs is closed, I also tried to clear the way again but it didn't work, what to do?

Not sure if you figured it out, but you don't need access to the bombs. Hop into his machine and he will launch you on top of the imprisoned

how do you get the Hylian Shield?

revive the Thunder Dragon and then talk to the Fire Dragon, come back to the Thunder Dragon and do the Boss Rush Mode, beat all 9 bosses without leaving and you get it.

Hi!
What to do in desert? I have a better bug now, to grab bombs. Put bombs in the statue for the next area. There is a big bird, throwing rocks on me but there is no way to get further. My endurance is to fast low to get to the next platform :|

It doesnt really have a name. Basically what i did was i talked to him and he asked me what i wanted to do. A boss fight or a few other things (cant remember exactly). Anyways i chose boss fight. Then he asks where you want to start your boss fight, i chose beginning. Then you choose what boss, i chose the first boss. After you do the first boss he asks if you want to continue fighting or if you want to stop. Complete up to the 9th boss and the reward is a shield if you stop. Its kind of like a gauntlet.

You use the beetle to grab the bombs from one of the trees and drop it on the shell enemies,their shell remains there and you can use it as a platform to get across.

Q.In Lanyaru Mining Facility, after you get the Gust Bellow and you end up back in the room with the 2 barred doors (wooden bars like jail doors on your left and in front), what do you do? I don't know how to open either door.

A.If you open your map you will see a hidden path in the sand that you will be able to cross. Answer provided by syko5150

How do you open the door to access the hidden path?
If you're in the room that has a locked gate to the left and in front of you, then you need to go back one room toward the entrance and use the gust bellow to remove the sand on a block. Place the block on the switch and go through the now unlocked door. This path will eventually lead you to the other side of the left locked gate.

Thanks bro, helped a ton.


when u do that, u enter a room with a stone, after u change everything in that room 3 plataforms raise, how u make the farthest plataform come to u, the Gust Bellow don´t reach it

Sorry my english, not native.

How many time did you use this FAQ/walthrough?

I used it only one time at the Eldin volcano. (And I am in the earth temple)

And you?

not sure if you are asking someone specific, but i personally didn't check the forum until i was finished the game. There were a few times when i would try and look something up on the net, but i couldn't find anything since it was so new. I started playing Friday afternoon and was finished Sunday morning (around 5am).

Does anyone have a savefile right before the final battle with minimal sidequests completed (preferably Link as the player name)? I wanted to do the sidequests after I beat the final boss.

I assumed the Hero Mode would save to a different save slot instead of overwriting the completed file. lol

I beat the game and then it asked if i wanted to save hero mode OVER my save file. I said no, then copied my file, and then beat the game again on the second file to unlock hero mode on it. My save game is as minimal as it gets. The only side quest i completed was getting the Hylian Shield. If you want i can pull that for you, however i am at work, so i wont be able to get it until later.

If you want hero mode as well as your old save, i highly recommend copying your save game before completing the game.

EDIT: And the save file is named Link haha.

Just pick up a Bomb Flower with your Beetle (either from the ground or from a cactus) and drop it into the tree.

I got a question myself though.
How can I reach the Pumpkin Patch Plower that Kina is looking for? Whenever I drop into the hole it just enters the "to the next map" animation that leaves me unable to move to any of the platforms down there. Tried getting up there from below, tried triggering skydiving, jumping into the hole from different positions.. nothing worked. There's a Goddess Cube around as well I believe.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way
