Gaming The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Walthrough/FAQ Thread

[sigmund58]

I seem to be having a problem here ive recalibrated the wiimote motion plus many times im trying to activate the generators but for the life of me my damn sword wont do a thrust forward.
Im stumped heeelllpp!!

not sure what the issue is here. i never had any problems. i just keep the wii mote level (like im pointing at the screen) and then thrust it forward.

Ok, I'm stuck.... Again.

So I'm in that one temple-like place where the triforce is and I'm confused as hella s to how to set up the tiles. The only ones That work are to the right of the main room the forest one, to the north of that the timeshift one, but i can't get the corner piece in the corner above the timeshift one to make it work. A note though is that i can get into oNE of the triforce rooms, but I need a key. Any help would be awesome.

Spoiler

Don't look at it as a puzzle that has 1 solution. Move the tiles around as you need. figure out what rooms you need to go into first and adjust them to get there. Keep in mind, the X's on the map are other locations in which you can move the tiles around.

another question;

Spoiler

is there a new sidequest in skyloft after getting the fireshield earings?

I dont really remember the exact positioning I did. But all the rooms marked with an X have a control panel in which you can rotate the rooms, the room with the chest holds the key.

The two game combinations:

Spoiler

Ancient Cistern. You see these on the statue. When it says REAR it means butt of the statue, under the water. When it says back, it's the symbol on it's back, and so on. Right hand is not right, it's the symbol on the back of the right hand, you have to get the silver rupee first (just swirl to get it) then you get to see the symbol behind the closed hand.

down up down right

Spoiler

Sandship. You just clean the floor with the Gust Bellow. Just remember, the red handle is always the top, and the number of red handles indicate the order to hit the switch.

Just finished the game, 100% I guess, 20 hearts, all goddess cubes, 80 gratitude crystals, hylian shield, all big containers (big bomb bag, big seed satchel and big quiver), 2 extra heart medals, 2 heart frequency increase medals, 2 rupee frequency increase medals, 1 potion time medal, 1 bug medal, 1 cursed medal, 1 treasure medal, 5 bottles.

There is a couple things I couldn't do:
Beat the damn harp minigame. What is the reward for this? Just money?
Beat the fucking hard bamboo cutting minigame. I managed 30 cuts the first time and got nothing important. It seems that beating the 28 mark is enough, but the gossip stone tells me about a 43 mark. Is that even achievable?

About the ending (no spoilers): GREAT ending, they really made the "perfect" game, great art, great photography, great direction. Also, don't pay attention to the credits, pay attention to the movie behind it, it shows the game/main quest as lived by Zelda. It's cool seeing things by her perspective. And also don't miss the last scene after the credits. Also², shouldn't the last phrase be The Beginning, and not The End?

edit: ok, little things I remembered...

Spoiler

Shouldn't we bring the water jar back to the Water Dragon? They left the text behind saying that we should return it, but it just vanishes on the Fire Sanctuary and even the Dragon doesn't saying anything about it.

This is a post only people whos completed the game should read, reading this WILL SPOIL A LOT
You have been warned.

I like how Demise said he will continue to reincarnate forever. That explains the whole Ganon(dorf) thing .
Also, Demise being sealed into the Master Sword instantly gave me a reference to OoT when you pull the sword for the first time

MASSIVE SPOILER, ENDING DISCUSSION

Spoiler

I got that, but I thought that maybe some other game came first, like Minish Cap, for example. I really enjoyed those last console games, Twilight Princess and SS, they show you more about the timeline. But I've hoped the Gate of Time would bring more content on that matter. I really thought that the Gate of Time would send me into another Zelda game...
Also, I was hoping that Demise would DIRECTLY explain his relation to Vaati or Ganondorf. It seems he's just a spirit, like Hylia incarnated in Zelda, I guess Demise is bound to incarnate on those baddies.

How do you get to the place in the desert with the party wheel?

 

[guki92]

How do you get to the place in the desert with the party wheel?

SO: You have to use a bomb on the left rock near the entrance to the desert (next to the bird statue). A Crystal will be revealed, which you have to activate. You will know what to do next...

There's a door that needs to be unlocked. Gust Bellow the windmill on the left of the door to open it.

Should I have given the letter Carwin gave me to the person in the toilet? Gave it to the girl and nothing happened and now the person in the toilet at night is gone?

Was that giving any reward? If it was giving some gratitude crystals, anyway to get them elsewhere?

 

[Krestent]

How do I pick up the fallen propeller outside the Earth Temple?

You can your gratitude crystals from the hand in the toilet. Don't remember where though... It's in the first pages of this thread.

OK would you believe it was a faulty wiimote it was doing everything but thrusting forward so i didnt suspect it, 4 hours of running around thinking i needed to find a lever for the generators well peed off.
Just as well i asked here or (thanks sigmund) or else i would of been running around forever looking for something that didnt exist!!!

I am currently in the 3rd dungeon and I got the wind item. The room after it which I think is the main room the only thing I have access to is a bomb but I dont see anything to blow up within the room. What can I do at this point?\

Spoiler

To the left of the door where you came after getting the gust bellow and the map (you are at the main central room, right?), there is a closed gate with a fan like thingy at the top of it. Blow it to open the gate. Enter it and you'll see that your path is covered by sinking sand. Open your map and you'll see a path under the sand, just like in the desert.

found it never mind.

I still read your hint and I was unable to finish the room. The fans you mentioned are on the other side of the door so I cannot reach it. Here are some pictures I took for visual aid.
