Can I just say I have never really liked time limits in games so I don't find myself enjoying the Ocean Palace whenever I have to go back there.

Also I keep getting repeat treasures. I want all the ship parts, but it doesn't look like that's possible without trading. And yet it doesn't look like you can pick who you want to trade with. It's just random from playing online unless you're lucky enough to have someone near you with the game.

I agree. The Ocean Palace is a bit tedious when it comes to time.

When you get the yellow halfway marker, redo the first half of the palace until you get a quick time and the hourglass is far less of a factor for the rest of the game. Also, be sure to draw the hourglass room before the triforce room to grab the extra 30 seconds in the golden pot.

I knocked out the first half of the temple in 3 minutes 4 seconds, leaving me nearly 12 minutes to mess with at the moment.

"press the sacred crest"... that part had me stuck for awhile... but when I finally figured it out... THAT'S PURE GENIUS!!!!!!

Anybody run into this: I bought a ship part, but it never showed up in my inventory, and I can't upgrade to it.

For what it's worth, the part was the

All other parts I've bought or found work fine. Is this a glitch or did I do something wrong?

Haven't gotten that far, but do you have to

Never ran into that. Has anyone found out the secret to trade items with other people yet? It involves a "magic box."

I just got done with the Ghost Ship... and I'm not finding the bosses very challenging.



I know I say this now... but I have a feeling things are going to get harder.

Yeah I found it. I was wondering if anyone else did so that we could trade some items. I have so many multiples of ship parts which is really annoying.

I found it about an hour ago. Gotta get my DS back online and see who I connect with.

I just beat the game. The final boss took a while, but was very easy. I only needed one potion to go through the battle. It was actually a fun and varied boss though.

I jinxed myself with this post.

I'm in the...



Help?

I just found the uncharted...
Pretty funny.

I finished this game earlier in the week. Big spoiler for those who haven't finished yet:

I do wish the game was just a little bit longer, and my only real complaint is the repetition of the Temple of the Ocean King. At least you can access shortcuts as you get more items, and there is a checkpoint, but I found it annoying to redo the same puzzles over and over. The rest of the game is fantastic, and I'll probably spend more time exploring uncharted islands and performing the optional tasks.

The Temple was very annoying. So the English name is Temple of the Ocean King? When I was playing the JPN version I always just referred to it as the Hourglass Temple.

I'm just going off of memory, but I think that's what it is.

FYI - do some treasure chest hunting in the ocean. Yesterday I got a chest with 30 extra seconds of golden sand.

spainlinx0

Well I already beat the game, but I did find a bunch of treasure chests with sand in them. The time wasn't a problem, I just hate the idea of time limits.

Goldberg74

Well...Wish me luck!

A little tip for you.

My copy from FV should be here this week, which gives me just enough time to beat Metroid Prime 3. So many good games this year from the Big N!

Well I finished the game last night. It was quite the adventure. A little shorter than I would have liked it to have been, but a fulfilling experience to say the least.

Yeah, I figured that out when I went back to the Ocean Temple and thought to myself... I wonder if it'll work. And it did. It made things soooo much easier. Now to go back and finish them all off. Hehehe!

Okay... a few comments/questions:

1) Did anyone get a higher stamina than 5 for their boat? No matter what I did, I couldn't get higher than 5 hearts. Maybe I just didn't have enough pieces.

2) I finished the game with 12 heart containers. I assume that there are 16 and I'm sure the rest are buried at seas or the result of winning a game.

I'm going to spoilerize these last few:

6) I'm going to stick to my comment that while fighting the bosses was cool and the tricks with the stylus were great, the difficulty wasn't that hard ('cept for a few). Overall, the bosses seemed weak to me. It was nice to not have that seemly impossible frustration while fighting them, but once you find their rhythm (and with a few potions), I would whoop them on the first or second fight. But the coolness factor of the bosses and the battles outweighed the easiness.

Cool game though. I'd give it a 9/10 and solidly recommend it to everyone who is a Zelda fan.

Now I think I'll finally start Twilight Princess. I've had it since May, but haven't played it yet.

steebo777

Oh dang, you are in for a treat. Twilight Princess was a really good adventure.

I think my boat's up to six stamina, through a combination of demon parts and shell parts.
