...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...

Better to be sad in truth, than happy in deceit.
The wise man only mocks himself.
The truth will set you free, and severly cripple you at the same time.
You suck.
And, if I remember rightly, a good percentage of the forum as well.

Yes indeed sir, that is EXACTLY where I was going wrong... thankyou kindly for pointing it out. I managed to work that out shortly after starting this topic... but only by accident, when I tried to run into the lava in order to kill myself.
Therefore, either way, I am a big mong.
