Any ideas?

Am on Fun Fun Island and stuck in the cannon. After about 50(?) tries I got the heart container. Yah! Decided to go a few more times for rupees, this time spammed the dialogue, jumped in cannon and…. nothing. Cannon won’t fire and can’t climb out. Can do backflips though. Lol Any suggestions? Really like to keep the heart piece if possible. 🤣

Direct Follow Up Game?

I finished this amazing game yesterday and I'm sure like everybody else I want more.

I easily started thinking of all the ground that isn't covered between Skyward Sword and Minish Cap. And then remembered Minish Cap had untouched lore, and thought hey can the Hero of Man be the Hero or Legend too? I think he totally can.

A great name idea i thought of is Legend of Zelda Birth of a Kingdom. This game establishes the first Hyrule and it is helped built by the Picori. The Hero of Man is given the Picori Blade to vanquish evil, I always wondered why they are skipped out on the Master Sword and the ending of Skyward Sword is a perfect answer to that. They are leaving it untouched to heal and rid of Demise remains.

So The basic idea is Ghirahim had underlings, Generals maybe, making up the main antagonist bosses. Link can't vanquish these generals with a normal sword, just your regular mobs, in comes the Picori Blade. That's the main A to B plot with Zelda declaring the establishment of Hyrule at the end.

Now some thoughts I had playing Skyward Sword. The goddess raised earth to protect the Triforce primarily. The people who were there just happend to be there. So what if there are more people on the surface, just scattered? Based on the other species we interact with the goddess didn't straight up abandon everyone on earth after raising the triforce.

This leads me to think of a few other things. To keep the goddesses name, we could be introduced to the rest of the actual Shiekah tribe. Along side that, meet the ancestors of the Gerudo tribe, a group a warriors fighting to survive and actually feel abandoned by the goddess, thus have a natural hate for her that grows even more when learning about Skyloft and these people who had it easy for decades. They wouldn't be main antagonist, but they would get in the way.

Of corse non of this will ever happen but I'd really like it to. I loved the map in Skyward Sword but it felt incomplete. A follow up game would be nice to touch on that.

Do cutscenes appear less often as the game goes on?

I’ve only played an hour and a half of SS, but I’d say at least half of that was just sitting through cutscenes, dialogue, and getting constantly interrupted by npcs. Honestly there was probably only 30 minutes of actual game play. The only other Zelda games I’ve played are botw and totk, so I am a newer fan who isn’t used to the older games, but there’s no way the entire game is full of cutscenes and interruptions. It ruins the flow of the game so bad for me that I just have to put it down and go do something else. Do I just have to wait a little longer for the excessive hand holding to chill or do I have to accept I’m just brain rotted and have to say the game and it’s pacing isn’t got me

Vs Demise

Some how i got past phase 1

I hit him with thunder once but I don't know how. Every time I raise my sword to power it he charges me unless he has his sword charged and we cancel out.

How do I hit him?

Gotta end this right... sorry Zelda

Update on my first play. Ghirahim was a cake walk, I quickly learned it had to knock him off the platform in phase 1, phase 2 was super basic making it clear you need to poke him a few times, phase 3 took a little longer to notice I chip his sword but I noticed. After that I went ham on him.

I gotta end this right though. As Zelda's soul is slowly being drained I'm off playing Boss Rush to get the Hylian Shield. The one that gives me the most trouble is the kraken thing, Tentalus? The Imprisoned round 3 was my 8th match. I lost because I totally forgot the strategy to beat it since I only fought it once previously.

I totally got this though, the shield is in the bag.

Does Hero mode make any significant changes like dungeon layouts, puzzles, more enemies like in Master Quest? Or is it simply just enemies doing more damage? (Refering to SSHD, TPHD and WWHD) never played it

Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Guiding the Timeshift Cart to the Thunder Dragon

I'm having annoyingly a lot of trouble guiding the timeshift cart to the thunder dragon. Namely the one part where it stops in front of a door and to open it you need to whip a lever, but it won't reach. Instead you need to run up a slope getting stamina berries to reach the switch.

I can not reach the second stamina berry. I sink into the sand right in front of it.please help. I'm tired of redoing this whip section, I suck at the whip.

Easiest heart pieces to forget

I'm trying to collect all the remaining heart pieces and I'm pretty sure I only need 2 more IF there is a second life medal as I've read somewhere... Anyway, I just wanted to ask you guys which heart pieces are easier to forget about/harder to get in your opinion? Because when I look at every heart piece's location I feel like I've already been there and collected it, but obviously I'm wrong since I'm still missing 2 pieces, if that makes sense... Thanks in advance! :D
