Posted December 22, 2006 Just finished Arbiter Grounds (34 hours in , too much time just exploring everywhere). The item you get in Arbiter is pure madness , and certainly put a smile on my face , and that boss fight was awesome. So far , despite all being easy , the bosses in this are incredible. Did a bit of lure fishing last night but - just one question , is there anything to be gained from it , because my catches didn't register in the fishing log , was fun but may be a bit pointless.

Posted December 22, 2006 What took me ages was the reekfish...I was convinced that you had to catch it and keep it somehow Wasted about 3 hours asking around ingame... I'm 20 somethign hours in and im trying to find out where this reekfish is. Where is this mother and child rock thing?!?! I spent about an hour trying to find it and still yet to. I've been to Zoras domain which im guessing is the princes home place....grrr if its something simple again i am not palying the game anymore* i will play it, I'll probably just cry.

Posted December 22, 2006 I don't if the character is the one I'm thinking about. She's just a supporting character, not the reason for the game to happen, that's midna, thus Nintendo didn't force anything cheesy on her, we can't expect big relations when there's no character development since she rarely appears, she's a princess thus unabtainable for the common, and link has a woman back home (Ilia). It's just what was justified with the argument. We'll have Zelda's with Link and Zelda destined for each other again no doubt, but in this game... The princess is midna. And Link was destined for Ilia. Pedro I think you're missing my point, all I am saying is that character had no personality and that was a big let down for me. You've actually agreed with me in a way but you've just expanded on why that character has no personality. I don't care about who ends up with who, I just didn't like Midna that much and would have preferred to have seen more on the character we're discussing.

I understand, but I can't see how they could pull it any different than it was, unless they changed the argument, or gave more emphasis to certain characters and develop them further, that is what you're saying right? In that account we can only hope the next one is a more "classical zelda" in that front. This one, despite the initial appearances wasn't, IMO, of course. I liked how the argument felt new and not OoT re-done, in that front, or forced in any way. I love midna though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2006 I dont like the look of the 4th temple Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2006 I dont like the look of the 4th temple I didn't at first - the intro semmed too familiar. The second part is much better, tho. edit: so, anyone know where (if) the fouth bottle is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2006 I didn't at first - the intro semmed too familiar. The second part is much better, tho. edit: so, anyone know where (if) the fouth bottle is? dont know if you have it, but fish with your fishing rod (not lure), in the fishing hole in a place where there's a bridge. You can get trash, money or the bottle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 23, 2006 Just got to the sky temple now, been playing the game 11 hours today and im 31 hours in. Ive loved these last few temples, best part of the game so far. Got to the infamous cannon room and was all like: “ohhhh noes, dont save noob!!!!1111. I hate how much money you have to spend to progress, ive spent around 2 hrs game time looking for rupees. DONT WANT IT TO END Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 23, 2006 Got to the infamous cannon room and was all like: “ohhhh noes, dont save noob!!!!1111.I tried saving, in that room, nothing happened. Of course I continued playing till I got out of there, then saved in other file. and loaded the cannon one. I saved after the conversations took place though. When I went back I was blocked but I was able to move the stone forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 23, 2006 Anyone else here agree that a certain key character had no personality at all, that was a bit of a dissapointment, although I guess maybe Midna is there to make up for that, though she still doesn't fill the void. Zelda played her usual role as the dignified damsel in distress. All other roles she could have played as Link's love interest or good buddy were already taken, so it made sense for Zelda to step back and have a reduced, but still vastly significant role. Just look at that one scene to be alerted to her importance to the plot. Let's put it this way. Okay, so Princess Zelda spent a lot of time in the background and is involved in the game's biggest plot hole, but isn't it better having her this way than an annoying pirate who won't stop winking or appearing only in a stupid flashback? Isn't it? Of course it is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 23, 2006 Folks if you look at the oot map by turning it upside down and place it over Zelda: TP map area. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 23, 2006 i already noticed that a month ago, its because of the mirroring, if you played the gc version (has anyone yet) it would be pretty similar to the oot map. Except for zora's domain anyway i beat the 7th dungeon and i'm already quite close i beleive to the 8th. though i could be wrong. though i'm planning to do some side quests. (mainly finding howl stones and getting malo mart to buy out the shop in hyrule town. though now i know how to get the next bottle i think so i'll do that too) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, I haven't done any fishing yet, apart from that little section at the beginning of the game in Ordon Village. Is there even any water in hyrule field?! *thinks* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
