Oh, you don't have the flippers yet? For some reason I thought that boss was further ahead. Goes to show how long it's been since I tackled ALttP. ^_^"

No I dont. XD

This is my first playthrough and I'm trying not use a guide.

I don't think I have used a guide for ALttP before. Probably why I'm stuck in the third Dark World temple.

I havent really used it, but I had to look up to see where the third bottle is and it's in the water. So I had to look up on how to get the flippers.

I think I got the flippers before I had a Dark World dungeon, but I don't recall exactly.

I didnt know about the flippers! Nothing tells you about them. XD

XD, I found them through exploring the area with those angry Zora's who lob things at you. (What are those anyway? Spitballs?)

I went through there and the Zora who give them to you never popped up! Maybe I didn't stay in the area long enough.

You had to do some kind of task, I think. It took me about half an hour the first time, but it's been so long since I've done it that can't help you. I'm sorry. ^_^"

It's fine. I'm in no hurry to beat this game.

Ah yes, one of my favorite franchises, I've played through almost the Zelda games in their respective Consoles Zeldas for nes were especially hard. A link to the past I loved it. It wasn't that hard though, save for the last few parts and the perk to get the ultimate master sword. Link's awakening was refreshing, the last boss was a little...too similar to ALTTP's one. The oracles were tough and getting to the part after Olrox with Ganondorf is a little tough too, but just for Zelda's small peck on the cheek it's worth it. Ocarina of time was a heartwarming experience and I still, to the day play it on my wii. Majora's Mask was cool, but it was too short, I finished in a week and I had a lot of hearts, though the sidequests were cool. The windwaker was fun I still sometimes restart my file just to have fun. Twilight princess was interesting and had a good story, though I was down because there was no Magic. The Minish cap was a different experience, since it was not hijacked by ganondorf but it was cool. I have no 3ds so I have not played those games, sad really. And Skyward Sword is a lot like Ocarina though, it can sometimes be boring due to the controller and such.

Anyhow, glad to see you're a fan Mew Ami.

Skyward Sword is actually my favorite. I see that there are a lot mix views on this game. Some people loved it like me and some people dont like it. I love this game because it gave me the same feeling that OoT did when I was a kid. Plus I love the story and I like the fact that you can actually believe Link and Zelda have feelings to each other. Also! You see Link grow through out the game.

Oh~. Zelda thread gets a nudge back into activity? :3

What was your favorite part of the Oracle games?

Besides the cool mechanics, I mean the time travelling thingy reminded of OOT, the items they sorta reminded me of Link's awakening and A link to the past. I loved Nayru and Din, they had their own appeal. Also, The fact that at the beginning, Link was travelling alone and he already had the Triforce on his hand. And Boss, you're on the palace of Darkness, I suggest to beat the Helmasaur King(Yeah that guy you're having trouble with) Use the Mallet to give him a piece of your mind, but if his tail pattern gets too fast or is too tough, five bombs should do the trick. When his Mask is gone use arrows or slash till he dies. And Selene-hime are you stuck in the 3rd palace right? I mean the skull woods?

I have a little theory to why SS reminded people of past Zelda games. It came out during the 25th anniversary so they probably took a lot of past ideas and combined together.

Thanks for the tip btw. I need to get back into playing that game. >.>
