Did any one else get stuck on the third bell puzzle in the Snow temple, just because of bad controls?
I mean how is it that you can't push the bell without suddenly having to doubletap it, JUST because you're on frozen water? Normally you only have to tap it once! What gives?

Also, you think anyone will make a cheat to remove the instant game overs on the fucking tracks? I mean what the fuck where Nintendo thinking putting in instant doom trains?

Well, you don't need to double tap, tap once to get link to grab block, tap again to push. The timed ice adds another dimension to the puzzle - it forces you to consider the correct route before hand. It helps if you only freeze the water that enables you to get the block to one point but I never had much trouble moving the block with one sweep of the boomerang.

Also for all those people who are going "can't get past blizzard", "cannot get switches to work" etc; explore the game. The zelda series have never really "hidden" anything from the players and there are always hints for puzzles. Everything else can be figured out with a little experimentation (for example using boomerang to freeze water). It also helps to actually read what everyone is saying, rather than skip skip skip.

That said the only difficult part of the game for me is the third sanctuary. Took me a while to draw the symbol on the door >> My stylus kept on moving out of bounds

I haven't gotten that far yet.
But when I had to do sword training, the instructor WOULD NOT STOP INTERRUPTING ME.
Every time I tried to move to the side of the guard and do a spin attack, he stopped me and kept saying "Stop flailing around!"

Holy fuck that was annoying, because if he didn't stop me each and every time, I absolutely would have succeeded that exercise.

READ the letter carefully. From the middle of the cross move 4 steps North, then 6 steps West, then use the Song of Discovery.

This is driving me insane too, heck my lungs hurt from trying it so many times. I'm not sure if it's a flaw in the game or maybe I just don't get it, either way it sucks. If anyone can shed some light on how it's meant to be done thanks.

 

[Raika]

It'd probably be more accurate to say move 4 tiles north then 6 tiles west, counting his steps left me far off the point it had to be played, for me at least.

Just keep trying. The duets in the game are fucked up.
Took me a few tries before I nailed it.

A few? Man you're lucky, I think I've tried at least 50 times by now with no success.

Edit: I DID IT! For those that are having problems I let go of the flute after every purple note, and stopped blowing between orange and purple note long enough so yellow didn't get caught in it at all, instead of dragging past the yellow note fast like I'm sure others have tried too. Have no idea if any of this actually helps but meh... I DID IT AND I'M HAPPY!

Did you listen to the practice option? I was trying to play it in time with the metronome but it's meant to be played twice that speed.

 

[scatman839]

For the graphics, I would say the overworld is much better than in PH, draw distance is way more than previously.

Yeah I listened to it, I kinda just did it though as you can see in my previous now edited post. But thanks regardless.

 

[linnusx5]

where are located the portals to 'teleport' the train? i cant find them. >.

 

[mrSmiles]

after playing the bird song how to you use them?

 

[Mr.Positive]

Your supposed to start playing the flute AFTER the sage plays his part.

 

[R2DJ]

I've got some questions.

1. I've found about 5 warp zones (haven't been to the fire part of the map) but I only found one pair (one below Anouki Village and near Hyrule Castle). Everything else is missing a diamond that I can hit above. How do I activate them?
2. When I showed 5 bunnies to that bunny guy, I can't get to show him any bunnies anymore, although in my collection it says that I've collected 11 rabbits. He told me he'll give me something nice if I collected 10 bunnies. Is it because I went over the limit (should have collected 10 and ignored one) or is it a glitch? He says "You haven't caught a single bunny"... >_>

Thanks!

I would too, if the speakers of my DS weren't as shanked as they are right now...
Need a fix... Anyway...

Tried it, and it didn't work... I'll try again.
