OK, this game says its suitable for ages 3+

...that's scary... I'm in my mid twenties and I've got totally stuck right at the beginning of the game. I'm normally quite a handy gamer, but I still can't get into Dragon Roost cavern for love nor money... It's driving me insane.

I'm just trying to get into Dragon Roost Cavern... I know exactly what I've got to do (throw bomb flowers into the pot-holding statues to create a bridge across that lava pit) but I just can't do it.

I managed to blow up the closer statue on the right with no probs, but I simply cannot manage to knock the other one down. I've spent at least an hour just randomly hurling bombs at it, and no joy...

If I'm being a total mong, and there's some simple explanation... please tell me... step-by-step, so that I can stand in exactly the right spot facing exactly the right way to get the bomb in exactly the right place.

Otherwise I'm going to put the disc in a food-processor... which is a shame, because I rather enjoyed the 20 mins playing before I got stuck...

Yeah you don't drop your bomb when you jump or anything, so just jump on the downed statue and you're away.
Then you should breeze through the rest of the game. But if you got stuck /here/...

I know what's up.

You don't know that jumping is automatic.

So you go to the edge, press A to jump to the 1st statue, but you throw the bomb instead. Resulting in much swearing.

Jumping is automatic, so get a bomb, run off the egde and you'll land on the first fallen statue - from there, you can easily knock down the 2nd statue with a well-placed bomb.

At least, I assume so.

Nope, just a case of retrying again and again. I took 6 or so attempts.
