Topic: How to save in Ocarina Of Time???

H!
How in the world can I save the game? It seems as the START-screens save with green-button isn't working...
Played first 1,5 hours and the game crashed and had to start all over again. Then after that played for 3 hours and saved from the start-screen all the time but when I started to play again today and picking my profile it started from the beginning again. Starting to get frustrating. There's a save data on my Wii's memory but how to use it?

When you are Young Link, you always start at Link's house, unless you saved inside a dungeon, in which case you start at that dungeon's entrance. That aside, your progress in the game is still saved, you just have to go back to where you were when you saved and quit.

I don't even have any of the items I've collected and there's all the introvideos again. It just starts from clean table...Would really like to now what's the åroblem as this is my first Zelda-game and I'm already addicted...

try re downloading it

Your game crashed and this is the VC version? Then you might want to redownload the game. Saving is easy in OOT, you just start at different places when you start your game back up depending if you are Young Link, Adult Link, or if you are at a dungeon.

Downloaded it 2 more times and still the same problem...Is there anything else I could do? Do you guys save it from the Start-menu pressing the green button?

TO SAVE
Press start
Press B (red button on the Gamecube controller)

That's all.

Are you saving it from the Menu screen? EDIT: Yeah, i see it

Hmm, your file is probably corrupted.

this thread just saved me 10 bucks.

/gets out GC disc

Yeah, something's wrong with either your download or your system. Virtual Console games aren't exactly known to crash all of a sudden, nor corrupt files.

Go to inventory screen.
Hit B.
It'll ask something like "Are you sure you want to save?"
Select Yes.
It'll confirm "Game Saved."

If you get that confirmation and you still can't load up a saved game then something's wrong.

You don't know? Wow.........sigh.

I don't get the "Game saved" confirmation from the menu, but found out the saving works if I first let Link get killed and save it when it asks it...

Awesome. Keep it up...

you press the wrong buttons.

I was thinking this thread was a joke because saving is so easy, I save everytime without thinking when I need to switch an item then I keep pressing B to get off the start menu.

I echo Konata words. Wow....sigh.

Yeah, I save after even minor progress, like if I get a key or something.

Me too!

Same. I even save after I fill up my hearts.

What does the screen say when you press B the first time?
Oh, I think I know the problem. You are hitting B twice.

Hit B to save, select Yes and hit A.
Then it should say game saved.

To save in OoT:

1: Hit Start
2: Press B (Red on Gamecube controller)
3: Select Yes when it says "Are you sure you want to save?" etc. etc.
4: Wait for it to save until you see the confirmation message. ("Your game has been successfully saved." etc. etc.)
