Where do I find Marin after saving her on the bridge for ballads of the wind fish on my ocarina.
Bought the new LoZ EoW and decided to play this game first. Don’t ask me why but although I have completed numerous games, I’ve steered clear of anything Link. So I collected everything and unlocked all that I can. Problem: I didn’t know about the secret ending for beating this game deathless. Even tho the image is literally only for what seems like 5 seconds, it’s still something to unlock and achieve. Would you guys count that towards completion or is it good enough to have played hard to 100% according to lists on the internet? I am the type of person who did Mario Galaxy 1/2 both with Mario & Luigi cause after beating with Luigi did unlock more for Mario.
I just finished the without sword challenge now I have to do last one but strangely there isn’t
I wanna take the heart piece
Haven’t play LA yet and just wondering if it’s worth it now that EoW is out. Is it a sequel? I’m relatively new to Zelda games. BotW was my first Zelda game only a couple of years back.
I don’t know if the image is a spoiler, but I also don’t know how to blur anyway.
I just finished the game (also a very new gamer) and the only thing I know for sure that I’m missing is two more seashells. I also haven’t finished Dampe’s extra dungeons but I’m hoping whatever the item is isn’t available only after completing them.
As said in the title, I want to know if there are some content mods for the switch remake. Does anyone have any ?
After obtaining 50 seashells and then you show them to the seashell master can you receive the other prizes included with the Koholint Sword? ( I want that sword so much )
I think I put a key in the wrong spot, the only sub-areas I can go into need the fire rod but I can't get to it
I know this sub is for the remake... but I would like to know, how good is the original GB/GBC version to this day? I started playing the DX version since I want to experience this game but can't buy the Switch version and am curious how much it really holds up according to most people. I'm currently on the third dungeon or so
My hubby got me a switch as an early Christmas present and I started playing this game today. I’m in the first dungeon right now and am fighting the first boss. I think I can defeat them without the fairy I’ve cached but it will probably take me a bit since I’m still getting used to playing. Now the question is, can I save the fairy and store more than one in the jar for later when it gets harder or will the jar only hold one at a time and I can use it for defeating the first boss? I hope this makes sense. English isn’t my first language. Thanks ☺️
Sorry for the quality, I'm on the final dungeon and I need the egg maze directions but everytime I enter the library, the game crashes, there's a way around it?
It's an original cartridge and everything is up to date, no funny business or a rom or anything like that, all is legal but I'm starting to lose faith.
I’ve already been to Bottle Grotto and gotten the power bracelet and it’s still not working, his owner just keeps asking me to take him on a walk. Will I need to restart the game?
So after getting the legend of Zelda echos of wisdom I decided to not jump into that game but to go back and play links awakening. As a kid, I never got this game for being too young and not really being into gameboy games a lot, even though I did own a gameboy. I’ve gotten about halfway maybe a little more than halfway into this game and my verdict so far is amazing. I can’t believe I had never played this game, it’s everything I wanted in a Zelda game PLUS more. Spending hours going through this game has really made me appreciate it a lot more. I’ve loved every minute of this remake and adore everything about it. That’s about all I wanted to say :)
I just left BowWow to the mabe village after completing the second dungeon but… can I pick him back again?
Is there a room with anti Kirby? Doesn't matter if it's unlockable or not or if I need an amiibo, thank you
I waste all my keys to open that two padlocks to get the bossfight how to fix it (all chests are gone)
So I purchased links awakening on switch cuz I wanted a puzzle type game and I have never tried the older Zelda games. The whole point is for me to get stuck and I don’t want the answer given to me cuz I don’t wanna ruin my playing experience but man I am so so stuck. Im only at the start of the game too. So could anyone please give me a hint as to where the hell I might find the key in that forest I’ve been looking for aaaaages and I mean about 2 and a half hours! Surely I’m missing something
I’m up to eagle tower & have the ocarina but only have that frog song, at the moment I can’t find Marin but I haven’t learnt the balls of the wind fish. I’m assuming I need this song to finish the game, can I still learn it or was I meant to do so earlier? When does Marin re appear or where is she? Can I still learn the song? Thanks in advance! What a game 🔥
I'm stuck at getting one more small key in the Face Cave so I can unlock the block to get to the Nightmare Key. I labelled a screenshot of the map:
The green circles are all the chests I've found. I also found whatever it was in the room at D6. (I can't remember if it was a key.) So now I'm stuck at the yellow circle (column G, between 4 and 5). I can't open the block because I need one more small key, but I've been through all the rooms, killed all the monsters, and don't have the small key I need. (I haven't killed the flame monsters that circle rooms because they seem to be unkillable.)
I'm thinking I must have missed a monster somewhere. I've seen maps that label rooms, but not one that gives a location of all the small keys, otherwise I'd just check all those rooms.
Here's an unlabelled map, if it helps to double-check me, but all the chests other than the Nightmare Key chest (in the dark red circle) seem to be open:
Clearly I'm missing a small key somewhere. Any idea where?
I've read several pages about how to kill the Armos Knight: Use Roc's Feather to jump up so you're not on the ground when he lands and use arrows as the best way to hurt him. I've also tried using mines, but I never see a red flash showing he's been hurt when a mine explodes, even if he's standing on it.
I'm finding I can jump just after he does and I'm in the air when he lands. But the area is so cramped that once he lands and I can move around him, I can't get behind him. I can't hurt him with my sword from the front, due to his shield. And there's so little time between his jumps, I can't line up to shoot him with an arrow. (Sometimes I do and hit his shield.) It just feels like once he lands, I don't have enough time to do much of anything and if I try to do something, by the time I do it, he's in the air again and I've probably missed my chance to jump in time to avoid him landing. I've tried holding down B to do a spin attack, but once I land and can move close enough to attack him, by the time I can start holding down B, he's jumping again. Of course, when that happens, he lands and I get knocked down before I can do a spin attack.
I started with BotW and have beat all the Ganon creatures in the Divine Beasts, I've made it through the first set of sword trials in the DLC, I've solved all the shrines and finished all the quests and side quests in the main game and the DLC, other than the final confrontation with Calamity Ganon, the last powerful Monk in the Hero's Ballad (the big extended quest in the DLC), and I'm still working my way through the Sword Trials in the Korok Forest. (I saved the big stuff for the end.) I'm not the greatest arcade player, but I think being able to get through all that in BotW indicates I'm not inept with a game console, but I just can't do anything against the Armos Knight because by the time I'm about to do anything, he's jumping again, so I can't hit him while he's in the air and, of course, if I don't jump, I fall when he lands.
I don’t think I’ve ever done side quests in a Zelda game that is as tedious, boring, repetitive and unrewarding. I want so badly to 100% this game but these stupid dungeon building mini games are entirely too time consuming and with the lack of variety in dungeon rooms it doesn’t even offer fun exploration. There’s no mini storyline to keep you invested, continuously trying to get the dungeon set up with whatever you have available only to find out two stairways don’t connect and having to completely rearrange the rooms to fix it is beyond frustrating. Seriously who thought this was a good idea for a side quest?
I am sure this has been said a million times - >!the Marin section with the Walrus.!<
[SPOILERS below, can’t be bothered marking everything!]
Just curious on the game design, your experience, and what the hell am I missing.
So the lil phone says to go to the Desert. Off I go!
I hit Mabe village I think, find the Walrus, and at this point in the game I have the Ocarina and I have learned her song.
Now for a gamer, it’s so simple this should wake him as all the animal villages said so.
But no, nothing happens. Okay. Maybe I go find Marin again. Bam, she’s gone. Okay. Villages just say she’s gone.
From that point there is no hints at all, that have told me where she is.
Did I miss something? Is there someone that gives a hint and I missed it?
Just curious if I’m getting bad in my old age or it was just this difficult back in the day?
