Okay, I've just got into the wind(?) temple (with the leaf guy).

I can't be arshed.

I'm literally in the first room (which I've not looked at yet), the whole temple awaits me. Last time I played I went out to collect some charts and stuff. Just delaying the inevitable.

'What is the inevitable?' you ask?

Yet another dungeon with no challenge, the same old puzzles and nothing to hold my interest.

I see how the dungeons would be harder for people who'd not played much zelda before, but for me it's just not a challenge. Puzzles are obvious, ememies are feeble, it feels like a chore, jumping through the game's hoops.

Don't get me wrong, most of the game is great, pleanty of new stuff to discover, loads of things to do. I just can't bring myself to play the next dungeon. I DON'T CARE.

Ah well, at least it won't drag me away from my revision now. Maybe I'll leave the Wind Waker and get into Ura Zelda...

I built up to it and did the temple too. Can't say I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as bad as I'd expected...

Ah well. Now for a bunch of maps. Ho hum.

Bah. At least you got to the bottom. I beat the blue skulls on the first floor after the map, then the flame didn't disappear. I had to save and restart the game (many ice arrows and much running around looking for stuff to kill later).

Just read NGC, it was worse than I thought! Triforce map is on level 30, and the heart piece on level 50...


I want to die.

exactly my thoughts when that happened...it wasn't even as fun as the battle on the 'many switch island'(cant remember the name...u hav to go through 4 switches in a time limit, then u get attacked by about 40 enemies(i counted the weapons left on the floor))

Haha, "It extends, it retracts, it latches onto things". I saw that in a documentary about whales by David Attenborough. Guess the anatomy. :D


Anyway,I got so pisched off last night. There's a big rock head on Outset, and you use the hookshot to get up there, and fall down a hole. Except you fall onto level 1. By level 15-ish, you now face enhanced enemies, like the three moth things from the Forest dungeon. You get a triforce shard map, and insead of going back outside, I noticed a big fat block. I used my mirror shield, and another hole appeared. Great.

15 minutes later, I arrive at the bottom, and have to face these big fat red warriors (Like the white ones, except stronger- and there was three) and a chest appears. "Excellent! Must be a really good item!"


Fecking heart piece. ARGH!

It's not exaclty rocket science.
The statue has a circle on it, like the things you can jump to with the hook shot AND you need to be heavy.
Hmmm ..... what to do .....

i would tell you how to do it(i sorta did it by accident, by trying out a different idea) but then it'd spoil it for the rest...
