Posted December 8, 2006 Played for an hour and a half and I'm stuck... at the fishing bit. If I was rating it now I would give it a 0. 1) It doesn't tell you how to fish 2) You can wait for ages and not catch any 3) This is no way at all a new player would work out how to reel in the fish 4) You have to catch 2 fish I've caught one and then gave up. I'll give it another go later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 The manual tells you how to go about the catching of fishes. But yeah, that bit was annoying. Bluddy fishing in general is annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 I've just started to head towards the first dungeon and loving it to bits so far. I was extremely disappointed when I rigged the Wii up to my HDTV and it looked abysmal via composite, but now I've put it onto the CRT in the living room it's all just so pretty. This game is just so very pretty. Loving the nostalgia with the music, little blends of old and new really highlight Nintendo's work this time around and considering I'm still in the prologue of the game it can be said this is pretty lengthy. I understand what people said about the first few hours seeming slow, but I'm just trying to cherish every moment because the new Zelda bus doesn't make a stop very often. It was great how the three little tasks at the start in the village all interlink and I kind of liked the ambiguity as they took me a while to figure out. Midna by the way is awesome. She has a lot of personality and is instantly likeable. Her laugh on the remote is terrifying though and I'm not sure it will lend itself well to late nights. About the intro to the game being drawn out, I don't think so. It's very nice to see Link's established life and friends around his home. You can already feel like everyone has known each other for years and it's just very, very quaint. Goat herding is fun too, as is having Epona so early on.

Posted December 8, 2006 If I was rating it now I would give it a 0. . or maybe.........8.8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 When I was gazing at the box today (Since I haven't got a Wii yet, it pretty much all I can do for the time being), I noticed the drawing of Link at the back of the box depicts the left-handed Link. Yes, it's sad I noticed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 I got my copy from Asda at midday, and got back had alittle go for 15mins, then my Mum got back from going out, so had to give her the game. I'm not going to see it till Christmas. Considering the wait has been so long anyway, then I'm sure I can hold out for another 2-3 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 Ok just finished the Forest temple and my opinion has seriously gone up about this game, fantastic level. Especially considering it's the first one! If we compare it to OoT, the way the quality jumped from the Deku Tree onwards this could be one masterpiece of a game. Disappointed however that the victory music wasn't exactly memorable... at all... though am glad to see the boss title back, even if it was a bit short and hard to read.

Posted December 8, 2006 Just finished the Forest Temple. Gosh this is great! Looks great, playing with the Wiimote is really cool, and so far the music is fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 I'm still missing the classic Zelda jingle though Gonna stop playing for a couple of days now if I can manage it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 I started it a couple of hours ago, and I am already in love. Not rushing it at all or anything, just purely enjoying it. I love the epicness, heck i'm only in Ordon Village yet I can tell it's going to be MASSIVE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 I'm 6 hours in the game and just arrived at Kakariko village. Is that fast or slow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 I was quite annoyed with this game at first but it's just because I didn't get the hang of fishing AT ALL.. I was up pretty early after getting very little sleep last night, so my brain just isn't working as well as it should. Once I finally worked out how to catch the damn fish I finally allowed myself to love this game. I haven't got very far since, but I can see how beautiful the game is. The cutscenes are fantastic looking, I'm really starting to get engrossed by the art style. I'm happy with the controls, really getting used to them. Can't wait to see how the story unfolds, I managed to avoid most of the spoilers so I don't know what's in store. I have to force myself to avoid playing it too much, otherwise I'm definitely gonna fail my exams.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 i love the death mountain music. and the hyrule feild music. has anyone tried to see what happens when they pop a wii disk into their computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 I got stuck at the fishing too xD so badly explained and I didn't realise the hook was hanging off the floaty thing and that the floaty thing sinking meant I had a fish. I love it so far except I've turned off the remote sounds and I want to turn off Navi too, but turning off the pointer altogether makes other things harder :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 Just finished Forest Temple too. Yeah game so far seems way much better than OoT and way more "adult" oriented. Though they could have made the final boss a little harder. I mean i couldn't even have the time to learn a tactic before i kill him hehe but doesn't matter. PS. Is it me or after 15 years Princess Zelda is actually HOT? PS 2. My God i HAVE to stop playing!!! PS 3. I'll shut up sorry:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 Zelda is surprisingly good. And the controls fit the game beautifully. It is kinda comical when riding Epona at a certain speed though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 How in hell do I get the slingshot? And get OUT of Odona village! I'M GOING CRAZY!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 This fishing thing is bullshit. It was thankfully a gimmick in Ocarina which was good because I was never a big fan of it. But this is fucking stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 How in hell do I get the slingshot? And get OUT of Odona village! I'M GOING CRAZY!!!! You need to climb on the pillars and use the eagle to steal the woman's baby basket from the monkey up the river. As a reward for returning her basket she will give you the fishing rod Colin made. You can then use that to catch a fish near the cat who will then run home after you catch 2. You can then buy the slingshot from the fat lady. The fishing didn't annoy me very much, but then again I did catch 2 fish really quickly. The lack of explanation is quite shocking though. Seems you're on your own early on for this Zelda adventure.

Posted December 8, 2006 The nunchuck/wiimote together feels wonderful in Zelda, so comfortable, which I didn't expect. The freedom you have with your hands is awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 8, 2006 Just got up to the entrance to the Forest Temple, after 4 1/4 hours. I'm really, really enjoying it so far - it's so much better than The Wind Waker was at this point. Sword fighting is fantastic, and Midna is a brilliant character. The only problem I had so far was the fishing, like many people. I love the amount of detail that's gone into the game, like the little frogs in Ordon Village. Could this be an Ocarina of Time beater? Too early to say at this stage, but if it keeps this high standard, who knows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 8, 2006 The fishing didn't annoy me very much, but then again I did catch 2 fish really quickly. The lack of explanation is quite shocking though. Seems you're on your own early on for this Zelda adventure. Fucking finally managed it. After around an hour... I only needed to catch one. But I did catch another on the other side of the village so maybe it's just two total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2006 I've played it for an hour and i'm making myself slow down already. I hate completing Zelda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2006 This game is amazing. I'm currently on the second dungeon, and I love the Wolf Link sections. Music is wonderful - familiar yet different. Oh, the box is gorgeous. (did the US get the shiny gold/silver cover? or is it just that the images of it don't show it very well). Controls are perfect - it's just so relaxing just walking around, with both your hands in comfortable positions, and the sword fighting is ace. Only annoying bit so far was the fishing. Once I knew what to do, It was easy tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
