I actually died in Zelda and it wasn't because I got swarmed on by angry pigs, suprisingly.

I died on Outset Island, I went into the cave where you get the Triforce charts in to take some Pictothingy's of some of the rarer enemies. I noticed in the room that you get the Triforce chart from, you can use your Mirror shield to destroy a stone head. This opens up another load of caves that are about 10 times harder than anything else i've seen in the game.

Needless to say after much battling I ran out of fairy's and died. Wasn't really properly prepared for the fight but damn it was fun.

Next time I'm gonna pack some of Grannies after birth and a few more fairy's and teach those mongs a lesson. If you haven't found these rooms I suggest you head straight for them, though be prepared or you'll get ya a-ss kicked.

I did it first-time, too - and with a blinding-headache! :D


Got the Triforce Chart, and got the Heart Piece, too.

....That was the end of it, right?!?
I don't wanna have to go back in there!! :S

I seem to remember seeing a head-stone, and I blew it up by reflecting the light. But I have a look around underneath it, and could not see any holes. So I just presumed it was the end!


It's amazing to realise there were actually FIFTY levels, after completing it!

I completed the savage laberynth first time, allthough I will admit that it was quite challenging towards the last 10 rooms and I was on my last few hearts just before nabbing that elusive heart piece, I havent returned since though but I hope that you can fight all the enemies again as it's great for sharpening battle skills and is above all else fun, might go back but ive started my next file thats been carried over from the 1st time I completed WW and the subtle differences make it worth playign through again (even though i'd happilly play through it again without them).

one small question though, did anyone take pictures of the bosses the second time around (before the final fights)? if so were you able to get them developed? i hope so as I kinda screwed up my chance of getting a pic of Ghoma by not quite getting the whole thing in the photo so im hoping that i can use my second chance wisely if it possible, cheers.

Exactly.
Me too.
It's just so much fun messing with that stupid pig. It's the only thing that's almost killed me as well.

Did you know that they ate all the other piggies?
Creul family.
The little kids inside said "They were delicious!" then the mum tells them off.
People in game world aren't supposed to eat anything, let alone cute little piggies.

It's a big room with about 5 or 6 of those top-level knight in there and fire-breathing gargole thingies on the walls.
Pretty easy really, just keep parrying and you usually hit a few at once, and their attacks usually hit the others as well. Why they stupidly stay in a big clump, we'll never know.

I almost got killed, yesterday, by that giant, psycho-pig on Outset Island!

Because I got the Golden Gauntlets, I decided I would go and play-around with the pig; chucking him here, chucking him there; getting him to dig me up some treasure...

He found me some rupees, and a heart-piece, but strike him three-times with your sword, and even on 11-hearts of energy, he only has to hit you 4 times before you die!!

If you're going to P-him-off, it's best to do it in a safe, unreachable place, using arrows, bombs, and stuff.

Or, you could shoot him from a short-but-safe distance, and run-for-your-life over the wooden pier, as he falls over the edge, chasing after you, straight into the sea! :D

Another thing I like doing is carrying him upto the top of the mountain (where the bridge USED to be), chucking him over the edge, and watching him spin, over-and-over, untill he hits the blue! :D


I've never been killed by a proper enemy, but I have fallen over cliff-edges and stuff, before.

Did all the floors today.
It's wan't as hard as you all make out - I used 1 blue potion and 1 portion of granny's fermeted urine, and I wasn't even desperate to do so.
Meh.
Still quite fun, though.

I dont think the fighting is all that difficult really, if the enemies are all around you, you hit them by accident anyway, either that the get hit by their allies.

Gah, I'm disappointed in Shark Island, all that work, all those enemies, just for some rupees. D'oh.
