Yes

Ah yeah, I was also wondering about that. I didn't start it yet because I don't want the save file to be overwritten (while I haven't found everythin yet).

I didn't know you could shield yourself from the final boss' attacks. Did it work with the Goddess Shield? I always back-flipped away when he tried to hit me.

I didn't use the Goddess Shield. You can get an even better shield that will never break and it will never be affected by fire or electricity.


Speaking of the Goddess Shield, when I was fighting the second Pirate Boss in the Sky Keep I lost my shield early on since I was just trying to block one attack after the other. I was able to dodge the attacks and fight my way against him, eventually killing him, so that made me feel pretty good about how my "skills" have evolved throughout the game.

I still need 5 Gratitude Crystals, obviously from the Pumpkin thing. I just tried it a few times and had the same issues as everyone else. I don't have any trouble keeping time in music, or learning rhythms, but the harp motions were never that easy in this game. I think part of the problem is that I'm too close to the sensor bar since I use my 23" monitor on my desk to play, and I just sit in my chair, which is pretty close. Other than that..I haven't really tried either of the two Rupee games, and I know I need a few heart pieces still, I think 10. I also have a few chests that haven't been open, so there are probably a handful of Goddess Cubes lying around somewhere. The game makes it almost too easy to find them though with the sensing stuff. I kind of hated how Fi made everything too easy, though I guess you have a choice to use it or not.

I hardly used the dowsing ability. I also felt like it was cheating. I only used it for some annoying fetch quests in huge areas.
I think there are a few Goddess Cubes for me left to find. Also some Crystals, but I haven't counted how many.

I tried using the shield in the beginning but I didn't really like it. I was much better at jumping away from attacks, so I stuck with that.

The problem with this is, there isn't an ACCURATE accountability of all the "best Zelda game ever" claims during the time the game was released, so OF COURSE there will be several during the last decade- because the last ten years have seen a massive boom in internet activity amongst the most casual of people (that, and unique-click-hungry sites like IGN LIVE off of "best of lists", and re-release them as much as possible to furnish flame wars on their own domain, keeping the hits coming).

Truth of the matter is, there has been just as much, if not MORE praising of OoT from its release date going into the 2000's. The PROOF of that though isn't a google away, because most of the press then was in PRINT, ads, and on dedicated gaming shows (and in Nintendo's case, direct mail videotapes).

OoT was HUGE back then- make no mistake about it.

I'm sorry, but a user-generated wiki is NOT always the brass ring, or the unit of measure for such an unmeasurable beast.

And yes, I do agree that GameSpot is shit (until the GiantBomb crew rejoined).

And yes, this is a reply to a VERY OLD post. Get over it.

Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
 

Yay, Skyward Sword was great. I still have a lot of stuff to do in this game... and often I don't know where to start.

Did anyone see the action figure they're going to make of SS Link? It's absolutely awesome, with so many possible poses... I've never bought game merchandise, but I'm really considering this one.
