@TBD I'll let Kid_A answer himself, but I'm assuming the joke is that the user's name is "ocarinaoftime", judging by the way he wrote it.

So, this game has hilarious and amazing writing that does as many wonders for realizing the game world as the small, sublime details such as the heart with an arrow through it next to a drawing of Pipit found upon close inspection of Karane's diary (don't judge me!). I see myself spending forever with this game.

Wow, thank you for letting him!

You know what, I think I'll give my permission to let him answer as well. You're welcome Kid_A

His name is ocarinaoftime. His sig is ocarina of time. Ladies and gentlemen: trolling.

it's late here and i am tired, but i still don't get why he's a troll. that usually entails snarky remarks, trouble starting etc. i must be particularly dense tonite.

I just saw him talking about the game... is there something I missed on another thread?

...OK, that was just my nice way of saying "you're not asking me but I think I know the answer."

I guess you don't roll around much anymore, but that stamina gauge was a pain. I wish they'd just get rid of stamina altogether, since there was always loads of stamina fruit planted everywhere. Then at least I could run where I wanted instead of having to zigzag from one piece of fruit to the next. There would be less clutter on the screen too.

Thank you, I know I was being nice

I don't want to dwell on this trolling business anymore. It's just going to start trouble.

@Gamesake
Clutter? The only area where you had to run from one piece of fruit to the next was the Sealed Grounds. Other areas just had a few fruits here and there, save for a few puzzle sections on vines and in caves where you really had to plan your route. If you go back and play Twilight Princess (which I'm doing now) I think you'll find it's kind of annoying to slowly climb up any ledge above waist level instead of just quickly dashing up it.

Regarding the Skyward Sword game-breaking bug:
I did the Faron Woods part first and got the Water Dragon Scale, and now I'm at Lanayru Desert. Did I do the events wrong? I followed the directions Fi gave me.

You're doing O.K. The bug takes place at a much later stadium...

...I'm kinda afraid on how I'm gonna get passed Tentalus in Hero Mode now, lol. (mainly the last phase. xD)

Yes. There's a green stamina circle almost constantly adjacent to Link on screen thoughout the game. I could have managed without that.

And all around Skyloft, and after the ramps in Faron Woods. Stamina fruit is everywhere in the game. Whenever I needed it, fruit was nearby. Why have limited stamina, if the game's just going to circumvent it with stamina fruit?

I did have to plan my route through the quicksands of the Lanayru Desert map, but even then, it was just the Southwest area where I wasn't given enough stamina to run straight through it to my destination. More areas like that would have made Link's stamina more interesting. Mostly, stamina was just an unnecessary annoyance.

I disagree with the stamina issue. I think they should've taken it one step further. The more weight you carry the more it depletes. They could off set this by having a Pegasus shoe quest or something but I like how its more realistic! Give me more realism next time as well!

I think they did a good job adding a stamina bar and adventure pouches. It makes it more realistic, which is good for this time.

I've had another go on Twilight Princess, and the controls pale in comparison to the controls in this game - despite how little room I have in my bedroom to play it properly.

I had my first try at the Guardian sections (where you have to collect those droplets), and I must say they are absolutely terrifying! One time, I collected all the droplets, and forgot where I was supposed to go. I accidentally stepped into a pool of water, summoning the guardians, and I had to sprint HALFWAY ACROSS THE MAP, lethal metal buggers in hot pursuit until I found the goal, and finally completed it. And on my second try. I feel this is going to give me a right headache on future levels...

Loving the game so far but I could definitely do without the stamina gauge. It's so annoying.

SPOLIERS Just beat Tentulas and am off to Eldin Volcano to retrieve the final Sword Upgrading thing. Can't wait! SPOILERS END

Also, how many hours have people put in? So far I've had 26 hours.

My first playthrough took nearly 70 hours. I screwed around alot though.
Then I fired up Hero mode and once that's done I'll be burnt out on this game for a while.
Then I'll be bored and depressed because my new game is over with.

SPOILERS:
I was in the desert with a pirate and still no Gerudos? Hope they're all just in the dungeon then. Although I can't complain too much as I just went on a minecart ride game to help a robot ship captain. Awesome.
