Zelda Twilight Princess
 

Anyone got tips? I've had to go to the freaking gamefaq thing every few minutes. I'm at the part of getting the little buggies for the spirit so that I can become human again. Anyone know little tips/tricks to figure out puzzles better?

._.

Hard to say, thogh experience with the series in general helps out. Some stuff tends to be the same. My sister and I made a point of trying the game without referring to any guide and we managed it. We only had to refer to the internet once and I had figured out the puzzle before she came back with the answer.

That said, two people always helps we find. Fresh eyes can help sort out an issue that one person has been on for a while. Different ideas can come up too. The bug thing you will have to do in each new zone. You have a map to find their general areas. Use your senses a lot as they can find stuff like holes to dig in. Attack things to see if they do anything. You might need to knock over a shelf or destroy a box to find where a bug is hiding. Sometimes to get in one building you need to jump from another or get higher up, entering through a window or something. If you've played Ocarina of Time you know about lighting sticks to use as torches. Wolfy can do the same thing. Just keep trying things to see if you can do it.

This is the first Zelda game I've ever played. ^_^;; I do not enjoy wolf form. Most difficult.

Ah. Yeah, my sister and I split roles. She handled human Link and I played Wolf link. He's a bit sensetive with the controls I found but you figure him out. You'll need to as you are required to play as wolf Link at important times in the game, and some bad guys are just plain easier as a wolf I find.

Zelda does require you do silly things at times. You learn to just do stuff to see if you can do it. Be adventerous. Never hurts to attack a tree once and a while. Seriously, treasure fall out sometimes. Exploring is good, You can find heart pieces that way, which increase your health. You get them in boss fights but they are scattered around the world. If you see a funny looking wall throw a bomb at it and see what happens. That sort of stuff.

i hated those bug things. i agree with quiet man, just look everywhere...it gets more fun, trust me. :D

Hit the trees with what? >_< I found running into stuff is not good.

with a roll? can you roll in this game..? maybe a throwing or shooting weapon? its been awhile so i dont remember what link gets...

Epona can kick them I think, but I may be getting games crossed too. You can attack them in general, though usually rolling works best. I think you can roll, just need to use the right commands or not have your weapon out. Look up and down things. There are often little silly things to do that can get good things. The game wont throw stuff at you usually, like larger quivers or bomb bags when you get them. You tend to need to seek those out.

Quite often in Zelda games you will find something somewhere that you wont be able to do when you first find it, and you'll have to come back when you have the right gear or abilities. The game doesn't always go in a straight line.

Hmm. I'll have to try that tomorrow when I play.

i always hate the levels, so i end up going through every extra quest i can :P so i end up with more than enough health when i go back to the level..

Collecting money is usually fairly easy in Zelda games. Bombs are rare in twilight princess I remember, compared to other games. Otherwise supplies and whatnot are usually fairly easy to come by.

I'm stuck. I got two monkeys, suppose to do a third one and the guide confused me. So I'm gonna check other guides and see.

Monkeys? Don't seem to remember those except from Majora's Mask. Where abouts are you and what do you need to do?

What is Majora's Mask? This is my first Zelda game. o_o

I got through the monkeys. Now I'm just trying to figure how to get to the West Province.

And the guide says how I should be on like 3rd heart piece or something and I only just found one. . . .

Do you remember the guy who sold you the lantern? The next province is past his place. There's a Piece of Heart in a cavern in the forest where the mist is... I think. You have to use your lantern to navigate through the mist.

Majora's Mask is the direct sequel to Ocarina of Time.

Ah. Just checked the IGN guide. I remember the monkeys now. I take it you are finished the Forest Temple? Or are you still in there? Afterwards, there is a second of bridges you need to work with your boomerang to get through. Annoying but not too hard once you know the path.

I've done the Monkeys and the boss. I'm in the huge field. I have two heart pieces but I don't know where I got them.

You always get one from the boss and there is often one or two hidden away in dungeons. You probably found them as treasure somewhere. Can't recall the map immediately off the top of my head but there are some areas where you need to go through a couple round a bout paths to get to them. Your map will usually give you an idea of where you can go but can sometimes be annoying to read if stuff is layered or pathways are above one another.

As annoying as it can be to fine ones way around, I've found that doing it yourself rather than using a guide makes it easier in the long run as you learn your way around.

I wouldn't worry too much about the Pieces of Heart right now. Later on in the game there's someone who will show you exactly where to find them.

Quiet; Yeah, unfortunately I do turn to the guides when I'm absolutely confused. Like the next province, of Edin?, and I coudln't figure out how to get through. I haven't played again yet but I think the guide may help me a bit, but I guess I should explore around too. Though it said there is a heart piece in a tree. . . I think

Reyoki; That's good because there is no way in hell I'd find them all now. I suck at these games it seems.

*pats head* Don't say that. This is your first Zelda game, after all. You don't yet know the signs of treasure. Give it a little time.

What part are you at right now? Also, on which system are you playing? This is a somewhat important point.

There is a heart piece in a tree! I found it by happening to looking at up at the right time. To save you some effort, I believe you need the hookshot to get it though the boomerang might work too. I believe it's in an area with a row of trees, like a boulevard. Not sure though.

I find the best guides really are the ones you buy. I have the one for Ocarina of Time and my sisters got one for Majora's Mask. I normally use IGN when I'm stuck but the walkthrough there is pretty much geared to be done step by step so already being in an area can get confusing if you don't start where the guide assumes you should.

Early game has you running around all over the place. Bridges are out, gates are in the way, etc. Takes a lot of wandering around and repeatedly talking to people to figure it out.

If it helps, when you get into new areas you will need to go back into the twilight areas again. Take note of where you see things, because often you will need to back track to go and get them later.

Reyoki; >_< I know, but I am used to knowing, like with RF, I KNOW like all kinds of little tricks and stuff. I'm still in the Field toward the Edin(sp) province? I haven't had a chance to play since Monday. I've been working on an essay.'

Quiet; Yeah it said to use the boomrang (OF WONDER). Going back >_< Joy. I hate wolf form so much.

Well once you banish the twilight in an area, it won't come back so you can come and go without issue and freely shift back and forth. It's just when you first go to an area. Hence my sister and I would switch all the time.

Again, on what system are you playing? The Wii and GameCube versions are mirrored because Link is traditionally left-handed, but the Wii version has him as right-handed because most people are right-handed.

If you're on GameCube, follow the wall to the Right to reach another Twilit area. If you're on Wii, it'll be the left instead.

Reyoki: Sorry, wii edition.

Quiet; Yeah, I'm not sure. I'll figure it out. Once I uh, get this essay done >_>

It's fine. I can still point you in the right direction.

If you're still having trouble, let me know. I've beaten the game about 5 times.

Thanks. I'm gonna work on it, though it may be taking a backseat soon. You see, Rune Factory comes out this Tuesday and I've been antsy in my panties for it.

ugh I wish stores had Twilight Princess for the Gamecube! It wasn't until years after its release I realised it was made for that system and not the wii. Hence I had never bought it before then.

I did play a little on the wii though. Link's wolf form was pretty bad A. First encounter with the villages was annoying. It's more fun to travel with him imo, but actually battles are harder in my opinion. I can't remember a lot beyond that. Except Hyrule seems to not be good at putting up a fight. yeesh.

Man I should start playing this again... Especially with Skyward Sword coming out (it looks amazing, Skyward sword looks like it will not only revolutionize gaming, but the entire Zelda series also.)
And yeah I hate finding the light pearls/bugs in Twilight Princess, the game is extremely funny and fun. It's still a rip-off of Ocarina of Time though, I just wish the story/plot was overall better >.>

Meh. It's not like the back and forth between different worlds/time periods was anything new when Ocarina came out.

From the preview Skyward Sword looks pretty much like the usual game pattern lately. What is supposed to be new about it?

Im looking foward to Skyward sword goign back to its root. I felt it was trying to be dark and brooding with twilight princess. I loved wind waker for its big open world witch made it seem a but less liner than other zelda games IMO. I still love A link to the past the best <3

I have the GameCube version. I don't mind using Wolf Link. If you use your sesnes a lot when traveling, though, you can get lost rather easily.

Twilight Princess was meant to perfect the formula set forth by Ocarina of Time. It originally was meant to be for GameCube, but was made as a port for the debut of the Wii system.

That being said, I enjoy both games. I have every Zelda game for home consoles currently out.

I'm thinking of doing the Ocarina for the 3DS

I've played OaT countless times. I still have my N64 with both Ocarina and Majora's Mask, which is the more irritating pseudo sequel. Getting Epona in MM is a pain. Fortunately I'm good with the bow.

I'm bad at games.

Not all games I'm sure. Some do take practice though. I still suck with human link when I started playing the game myself. Just need to find my own methods that work.

I started playing it again on Friday, and I'm up to the City in the Sky already. It's probably my least favorite mandatory dungeon besides the Arbiter's Grounds. I absolutely loathe the Cave of Ordeals, though.

I haven't gotten that far. I also have been working on RF more, but lately school has stopped that.

i had just gotten the second hookshot in sky level when my siblings broke our game..-_- and the only cool part of that level was the boss, of course. i actually liked parts of arbiters grounds, though playing games with undead in them freaks me out (the redeads in OoT gahhh)
