Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Awesome! I think my scheduling is gonna be a little funky too due to taking whatever time I can with work during the day. I also plan to have this and two other games finished before my fall semester starts again. But I'm keeping notes for the logs at the end of each week.

My notes being screen caps that is.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Since this was partially my idea, I guess I should post as well.

Just received the second pendant, which means I am probably twice as far as I've ever been in this game.

I also have two magic bottles, an ice rod and like 7 hearts.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

I'm just flying through this. Already taken care of the wizard, so in the Dark World.

I want to put it down but it's just so good!

How's everyone else going with this?

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

So I made it into the bunny converting Dark World.

But of course can now control it, and also vanished the Dark Wizard.

So I am much further than ever been. :P

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

I own a copy of every single variation of the Zelda games except for the Phillips CDI ones. The Wand Of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure I believe.

I have beaten all of them except for The Oracle Of Ages and The Oracle Of Seasons which are seperate games in their own right but when you complete one you get a password that you can enter when you start the other and you will get a different ending. You should also play through each game for a first time and use the code for the other. If you want to really best it ;)

Oh and I have not finished Zelda II The Adventure Of Link. But all the others I cave completly completed. As in finished, collected everything etcetra.

LttP Is a great game. I will play through it again some time but for now I will follow this thread just to remember it.

And I want to make one of those boats too :D
I made one of the cows from Majoras Mask years ago, like the ones the people in clock town have, little models.

You can see one here on the left hand side of the counter.


Dont forget this one, it's one of my favourites and is often overlooked.

That should get it noticed :sneaky:

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Got myself a brand sprankling new Crystal... my third I believe.

And that dungeon was confusing.... being that part of it was above ground and all

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Just started playing this yesterday.



Got first pendant and have six hearts or so

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Got myself 3 crystals, an invisibility cape and about 10 hearts (2 on the bottom row, didn't count how many fit up top)

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

I never got the Magic Cape, but I guess it's not required. I'm at just about where BaB is right now. I know about the Magic Cape, and I know it isn't really required. Not gonna waste my time looking for it.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

On the ALttP I never found 1 item. I think one of the canes. So silly, couldn't find it anywhere. :( And I'm too stubborn to use a faq.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Just added the deadline for this coming week. Good luck to you all!

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

I am so far behind.

I did start late though

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Who's got their 4th crystal?
Oh yeah its me!
Go me!

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Damn Earl, flying through.

Don't worry Swan, if the Mario lover BaB can fly through as quickly as he is, I'm sure you can catch up soon enough as well.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

I forked over some cash and bought this on VC, started today so im definitelly lagging, have only played for about an hour so far. I hadnt played this since the actual snes days, i dont really remember much from this game.....


meeting Zelda for the first time.


about an hour later getting my first pendant, I have 5 hearts so far and called it quits for now.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Maybe I can start again today? Argh, life. You get in the way so often!

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Silver and Gold, yes Silver and Gold.

Got myself a 6th shiny crystal. Only one more stands between me and the vile villain. The evil wizard!

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Entered the dark world today and just starting first dungeon

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

I got myself all the shiny crystals.

And what looks like all but one item.

I'm near Ganon's Tower, but from what little I played gonna kick my ass.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

So i played a little more today.

I was lost and wandered for almost an hour... somehow i failed to realize i needed to talk to that old guy after getting the first pendant...that felt stupid.


got me second pendant. dungeon went by pretty fast.


Made it into the dark world as a gay ass lil bunny.


gots me 3rd pendant, this dungeon was a lil annoying.


By the power of grayskull I AM HEEEE MAAAAAN!


Zelda is disappearing, oh noes!... this guy was a push over.


after some walking around, spending all my money on flippers, bomb upgrades and a greedy ass little monkey...


got 1st crystal.


then i was going to sleep, but fuck it, got second crystal


Right now I'm sitting at about 10 hearts, and got me he flute with my nifty bird which I named Fausto.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Guess who just slayed the evil wizard and then Ganon...

Oh yeah that's right!

Link to the Past completed!

So now I'm up to a total of 3 Zelda games finished!

I don't know if "Total Games Played" is code for like how many times you died, but I have 53.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

As have I! I see my goal of finishing before the school semester starts has been met! I wish luck to everyone else, and I'll be posting a Flickr album of some of my accomplishments which I have way too many of since I have 200+ pictures of screen caps.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

I also think I'll be getting a go at some other Zelda games. I'm using virtualnes.com to play Zelda 2, which I've currently completed two palaces, Oracle of Seasons which I left about a little more than halfway completed, and Majora's Mask on the VC, which I've never finished and I'm at the entrance to Woodlawn.

I won't be doing Let's Play! for these though.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Still trying to get the big key for the first crystal!


RAWR!

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Today I played for a lil bit.....and then i had a power outage....and I didnt save....im pissed.... I'll still play for an hour or 2 now though, dunno if ill take pictures this time around.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Come on, I enjoy your pics as well as your little commentary.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Yes BaB, you died 53 times. How in the world did you do that? Even when I was 12 years old and I played it for the first time, I only died 8 times or so. Nowadays I don't save it when I die (which is pretty rare anyway... once or twice per game?). :p

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Sheesh. If I died 88 times then I really must have sucked. But Earl also got advice from me along the way.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

I played, sorry BaB, no pics this time cus i was doing things i had already done.... wish I did, cus i did some fancy crap like, I got that wand where you have to go through spikes without the invisible cape thingie (used a fairy bottle), then i got the invisible cape thingie without the glove to lift the stones (with clever dark world hopping).

HATED that 3rd crystal dungeon, took me forever to figure out to....wait nvm its a spoiler, what's even worse since i was on a roll i went and got 4th crystal and then straight for 5th, didnt look for hearts or nothing in between, i make it to the boss for the 5th crystal and im like HA! ill shoot fire at you bozo!.... I kind of ran out of magic and.... yeah had to save and quit....

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Is the 3rd crystal the one in which you have to keep going outside and use different exits/entrances and stuff to get through the entire dungeon?

That confused the hell out of me, and had to use a guide to eventually find the 3rd entrance/exit, but even then it still was a pain in the arse.

And which was the 5th boss? Was it the moth because you can fight him with your sword or whatever.

It was funny, I saved without magic once, and had to go to a dungeon where needed a medallion... let me tell you, a lot of the enemies in the overworld do not drop magic powder for you to use. :lol:

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

that is indeed the 3rd crystal, I am not going to gamefaqs with this game cus I want to play it as I did back in the day where I didnt even have internet, so Ive been calling friends if i need help and they are mostly like "shit son i dont remember that!".

The boss Im on is the Ice cubicle crap fellow.....

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

And I hate double posting but I want to bump this cus I'm done.

Sorry for the picture less finale, got lazy when it came to it, but I pretty much realized I could get the ice of that bastard with one single bombos spell as opposed to 8 freaking fire rod hits, managed to get my half magic use upgrade shortly after, golden sword upgrade and whatnot. I pretty much breezed through the rest of the game afterwards with only turtle rock being a bit of a hassle.

Ganon's tower was a joke I wandered around randomly and next thing i know im fighting aghanim, then I chase after Ganon cus he runs like a pussy, laid the smackdown.... well... I actually fell into the pit once and had to start over, but then I definitelly owned him.

Completed all items, did not get all heart pieces though as I was missing one heart on the meter.

Total games played 18. You guys suck :P

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Shut your whore mouth, but congrats.

Also, I fell while fighting Ganon as well. And it was a pain in the ass because you had to get back to him, and do the fight again.

Since I wasted some of my potions, I went wild with attacking him and hopinh he didn't kill me first.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

I had fallen once and died against Ganon, but then once I got the hang of it, it was a breeze.

I think that's a staple with Zelda games. Ridiculous bosses (sometimes) but the final battle is a cakewalk.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

At least in the latest Zeldas they're consistent. ALL the bosses are way too easy. :(

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

I actually found most of the bosses in LttP easier than their 3D counterparts.

I think the boss battles are better in 3D, but Nintendo has gotten more forgiven.

Some bosses in LttP take off like 3 heart pieces where as most 3D enemies only take off like half.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Man... I wish I had more time for games. I still haven't gotten a chance to go back and play!

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Even with the Blue and Red Mail it was a pain. I was so happy to get those items, seriously.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

I bought this on wii shop today, as well as Majora's Mask...

Time to start my adventure.

Re: [Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
 

Ever played Majora's Mask before? If not, it's great to be you at this piont. :D
