Topic: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Yup, annoying as hell. Just do the sword counter thing.

Finished dungeon 6 and the bit after it. 4 is still my favourite.

I've seen loads of 10/10s on different sites, but is this game really that legendary? (raises eyebrow in an inquisitive manner)
Also, Apparently (POTENTIAL SPOILER!!!!) there are only seven or so dungeons, is this true? (raises other eyebrow in an inquisitive manner. Okay, now I look surprised but not confused.)

Ever tried slicing insects or accidentally squished one? It's a bit evil.

And I'm in the first dungeon! SPOILER However, the puzzle just before entering it, with the bird looking skywards, I was stuck for at least ten minutes xD SPOILERS END

Use the slingshot. I had the same problem, and it didn't cross my mind to use the slingshot for a long time because I just associate the item with uselessness from past games, and I expect to have the boomerang to stun people. But you can stun with the slingshot, then just waggle away and relive the the Twilight Princess glory days for a brief few moments.

I dont know if this is the right part of the forum, but i really have troubles selecting items, when i release the button it would only show information, it does not even switch from aura to normal viewing.

I hope somebody can help. Im freaking out about this ...

You're using B to change items and not 1, right? At least I think you get item information when touching items in the screen after pressing 1.
And C is used to switch aura. Just push the button until you get the selection and then move it to another aura and release the button, same goes with item changing.

When I am in the menu (using 1) i keep pressing c or - and release it on the item/aura I want (as the screen tells me to) and then I get nothing but information!?!

Hylia has been mentioned in several games, just not directly by name as a Goddess who became mortal, and Ganon originating as an incarnation of a Demon is also mentioned in some games, one I can specifically remember is Four Swords Adventures that Zelda called him the Ancient Demon Reborn. That same War is mentioned in Minish Cap as well.

Ganondorf isn't possessed though and the original Ganon (with the Trident of Power) is a separate Ganon from Ganondorf from OOT.

The thing is that you don't need to go to the menu by pressing 1. You can use -, c or b anywhere to change items/aura/weapons but if you use 1 you go to the information screen where you just get the information of those things.

Haha i just found it out myself (me dummy) thx of taking care of me in this hard time

Skyward Sword Joke of the Day

Question: Who is the only person who doesn't know anything about Wii MotionPlus's calibration?
Answer: Shigeru Miyamoto during E3 2010.

Boooo!

Who is making these jokes?

OK, I really don't like the controls now. I was one bomb away from defeating Scaldera, and coincidentally half a heart away from dying (used all my potions/fairies before I got to the boss), and of course, like he does 50-75% of the time, instead of rolling a bomb, Link swung his sword, dooming me.

After starting over and going through the cutscene and everything again, Fi tried to be helpful by offering me advice. I had no idea my sword probably isn't going to hurt it, thanks Fi! And what's this you say? Bombs may work? But not on the outside of him? I have to find a different way to hurt it with them? You're just full of wisdom!

Really wanna hurt Fi and my gold controller right now.
_{on the bright side, off to lanaryu or whatever desert}

I don't think I ever had to frantically use bombs after that part, so at least it should be looking up for you from here out, if I remember right. I hate the bomb controls so much.

Yay. How far are you now, anyway?

I hated the bomb controls for awhile but I really dig 'em now. Just takes practice.

I used bombs today for the first time and was surprised that I didn't have any problems with them and most of people still say that they're hard to get work right. I threw them, bowled them and just left them on the ground and not even once did I have troubles with them in the half hour which I used to mess around with them. Am I doing something wrong as I have no troubles?

I'm not saying they're bad for everyone, but "practice" is not going to change my personal opinion of them; I've used them enough to make a decision. The fact of the matter is if this game used traditional controls for the bombs I would never have this problem. That alone shows that they can hurt the experience.
