Someone please explain to me how to properly walk across the tightropes... I've tried twisting the wiimote left and right and physically waving it left and right and I can't seem to figure out what the hell it wants me to do. I can get across usually but damn, it's a long stupid process usually.

The eye watches your sword... try to make it dizzy... If you need a more specific answer, let me know.

Hold your Wiimote upwards (like when you are charging your sword) and tilt it left/right. Its quite difficult in the beginning but once you get the hang of it its rather easy.

Thank you, got it .. For the tightropes, hold the wiimote so that the sensor points upwards and tilt.

Ok thanks... I was holding it horizontally. I'll give that a go.

I'll say one thing... if this first start of the game and first temple are any indication, this game is gonna stump me - A LOT. And I'm glad because I don't want a walk in the park.

Not really a problem as such but ... when you start the sword training, right at the beginning, how do you destroy the log on the rope ? Every direction / attack I tried just resulted in the log swinging back and forth and I could see no method of cutting the rope.

That's for when you get the shield later on.

 

[g.crow]

is there any way to adjust the camera when walking (besides centering with Z)? autocam is really broken and drives me nuts.
all hail to classic controls and a second analogue stick.

is there any way to adjust the speed of the camera when in ego mode? its way too slow.

How do you get the Skulltulas to expose their stomach?

Hit it with the sword until it turns around.

I've seen this asked a few times in the release thread, but I don't remember the answer and can't be bothered to dig through tons of pages. x)

First temple,

Spoiler

after hitting the lower switch and raising the water level, what next?

EDIT: D'oh, nevermind. Posted in a thread below.

Here's the answer:

Spoiler

I was able to figure it out. After you you raise the water level for the first time, go back to the main crossroads, drop into the water, swim under the lefthand arc. You will find a switch that'll open the door above you.

Hi to everyone, I'm kind of stuck in Earth Temple, I don't know how to cross to the other side of the main room (the one you begin rolling that stone) I see you can push a switch with the ball in the other side but I can't reach it, any ideas ?

Sideways swipes seem to do the trick

The ones that dangle from their webs, I can get them to turn around but no matter how I hit them, it won't deal damage to them...

Do a spin attack and then shoot the weak spot with the slingshot. It will stun the skulltula and then just use a couple thrusts.

There are at least 3 Ancient Flowers just laying around inside the Lanayru Mines. Just run around you should see some flowers on the ground you can pick up
