Who else is playing it? I just beat the Forest Temple. Shit's nuts.

Mr Jones · 28th December 2006, 23:04

Me, spent 16 hours or so over the last two days on it.

Man those dungeons are BIG, I've done the forest, done the goron mines and have worked my way up to the bit where I need to start thinking about the Lakebed temple under lake Hylia...

What format are you playing GCN or Wii?

skryingbreath · 29th December 2006, 00:08

I'm headed towards the Goron mines right now. I think I like playing as the wolf better than Link.

I'm on GCN.

LuigiHann · 29th December 2006, 02:11

I beat the game a few weeks ago now. Great stuff.

Mr Jones · 29th December 2006, 06:31

How long in total did you play for?, I've heard stories of 70hrs or so, or about 28 or so if you skip all the cut scenes and stuff.

When I'm back at work I reckon it'll take me longer to complete, I just don't get the time to sit down for 2/3 hours at a time to crack off a dungeon and what really bugs me, in fact has bugged me about Zelda WW OoT (and any other Zelda for that matter) Is you simply can't save where you stand, always back to the beginning of the area you are in.

In the past I'd put that down to the limitations of the save format, having to rememeber where every object is, every monster, your relative postition etc etc, easier to restet everying and dump you back at the start. That really shouldn't be an excuse in this day and age.

Just for once, I'd like to save and restart exactly where I left it, without having to tramp over ground and fight monsters I've already fought.

Other than that, top game all round, I do miss the cell shading of WW though, am I the only person who liked it?

skryingbreath · 29th December 2006, 19:53

I'm at 7:58 hours, right at the bit where you jump off of the bridge down to Lake Hylia as the wolf.

I agree about the save point. You can supposedly cure this by using Ooccoo to warp out, save; restart whenever, warp back and you'll be back at that same spot. I haven't tried it yet.

I liked the cel shading of WW, but it got unnerving after a while.

Oh, and Hyrule is fucking HUGE! I thought the version in OOT was big....man...

LuigiHann · 30th December 2006, 03:29

It's not 70 hours. I'm at over 66 hours now, but that's after beating the game and then going back and working on some side quests (although I suppose there's some time lost, because you don't save after you win). Still, it's a big, big game. It goes by fast at the end, though, because in the latter half of the game you just kinda rush from dungeon to dungeon. While the story is still good, there just isn't as much of it. I'm hoping, to some degree, that the next Wii Zelda game is a "true sequel" story-wise, because there are some loose ends.
After I beat it, I went back and replayed Wind Waker. I won't say I miss the cel shading, but I will say that WW looked excellent, and I would not be offended if they use that style again (already looking forward to it in the DS Zelda).
The save thing? I don't know, it doesn't really bother me. Using Ooccoo helps though, definately. It works like Skry says, just be careful not to walk into the dungeon entrance, or you'll lose the "warp point" you made. Ooccoo is creepy as heck, though. One thing that does bother me, though, is that I'm limited to 3 save slots, unless I use an SD card or something. I've let a couple people play the game on my Wii, and now if I want to let someone else have their own save, I'll have to delete one. Why? Don't I have room for like 1500 more saves? Why limit it to 3?
And yeah, Hyrule Feild is a lot bigger than the OoT version. My friend pointed out that the "dry" version of Lake Hylia, in this game, has more water in it than the "full" lake in OoT.

I have no other brilliant things to say. Let me know when you've beaten it, we can discuss "timeline theory"

I don't know why, but I absolutely adore Midna's voice/language.

I'm also calling shenanigans on your Tingle claim!

if you liked that you might like Okami, which as a japanese watercolor painting feel to it. Got it for christmas and it's pretty fun.

Mr Jones · 2nd January 2007, 17:38

Looks good, is it PS2 only?, shame if it is, binned my PS2 a while back now....

Mattress · 3rd January 2007, 13:20

looks to be, sorry

Hopefully there willl be more games with a stylized feel like Okami and Wind Waker. I really like it.

Omit Name · 3rd January 2007, 19:55

the gameplay in okami would be perfect for the wii. (you use a brush for some of the things you do apparently) too bad capcom recently binned clover, the studio that devolped the thing; along with viewtiful joe and some others that alot of kids liked.

skryingbreath · 3rd January 2007, 23:11

I just beat that son of a bitch from the City In the Sky. That was the toughest dungeon I've ever beat in all my years of playing Zelda.

skryingbreath · 5th January 2007, 01:52

I win the game!

dlinkwit27 · 11th January 2007, 19:08

i beat it. very cool it is!

Mr Jones · 11th January 2007, 19:26

What format are you playing it on dlink?

I'm only up to the City in the Sky, don't seem to be making much progress at the minute..

I beat this game in less than forty hours with an unlimited bow, two bomb bags and only the blue suit. I clocked about forty five getting some of the side missions done (finding all the bugs is a daunting task--have yet to do that), but I can't believe you guys are clocking 77 hours--That's fucking crazy. I beat most of the dungeons in a few hours, and although some there me for loops, most were fairly straight forward.

Am I a mutant? I loved this game, and I put it above or at least on par with Oot, but you guys sound like it's an uphill battle. This game was cake.

Although, I did play it on the Gamecube, it would probably take me longer to beat the Wii version.

LuigiHann · 24th February 2007, 03:21

Some people spend more time wandering around than others. I think I was at about 53 hours when I won, but I'm too lazy to confirm that.

Mr Jones · 24th February 2007, 07:22

I've just finished mine this week in just under 72 hours.

Yes,I like to wander and explore.
Yes I like to collect everything I can.

About 3 of those 72 hours by the way were spent down the cave of ordeals, ran through that at least twice at about an hour thirty each go and probably another 8 or 9 were spent searching the hyrule field for hidden goodies and secrets...

What can I say, I'm thorough
