Yes, great, now I'm being condescended to.

It's not that it's hard. I mean it's not always a walk in the park, but it's not that it's too hard. I just tend to lose interest by the time I get to Ikana Canyon.

uhh you don't need to use a guide but it is there for a last resort, my friend. Zelda majora's mask isn't hard, yes but I can understadn how you lost interest.. as new games come out, it really is difficult to go back and finish it unless it is a really good game like of course, zelda twilight princess.

*Dr. Doom* · 11-22-2006, 12:36 AM

Yes, it's sort of a bad habit of mine. I've started and never finished some wonderful games. Took me about 2 years each before I finished Metroid Prime and Wind Waker. And I think both of those were at 3 tries each, too. So I'm behind on that one. Never finished FFVI either, and I loved that one, obviously. I'm getting a little better, I've played both FFVII and FFIX over the past few months and gotten to points where I thought I wouldn't be able to continue, but I ended up finishing them both after pacing myself over a period of about 5 weeks each time. FFVII, that's another one I picked up a buncha times and never finished for...about 9 years, actually. FFIX is my second favorite game of all time, and I left taht hanging the first time. So yeah, it's an issue I have, but I'm improving.

And by the way, I did use a strategy guide for Majora's Mask, lol.

Wow to the games you mention that u never finished. I still have a backlog of ps1 and xbox games I yet to finish. I did finish metal gear solid 2: Substance on xbox a couple days ago. I plan to work more on dynasty warriors 5.

I finish the ones that are awesome and the ones that are good I usually play and stop.

I've got 11 hours into the game now and have beaten 3 dungeons. The introductry three that happen before the story even picks up. 11 hours and the game is apparently just beginning.

I'll say this, the opening 3 dungeons are like later dungeons from OoT. There's no Deku Tree or Death Mountain in this one. It starts tough and it stays that way. And the water temple sure as hell lives up to it's name-sake.

My favourite parts thus far have been the boss fights, though. Truly epic battles. There are also a lot of new things that have never been seen in a Zelda game before. It's more than just the running from dungeon to dungeon thing now, there are events and things of the sort that take place all the time. It's great. I'm really tiring on the wolf though. Everytime I change into him I want to stop playing for awhile.

*Brodie* · 11-22-2006, 11:04 PM

The first boss in a dungeon was cake. but that could be the Cap'n Morgan talking.

Do you mean the first mini-boss or the first real boss? Either of them is to be considered easy. None of the bosses have really been all that difficult, if difficult at all. One boss, I guess it could be considered a boss, gave me two game overs though. I guess that means something.

*Dr. Doom* · 11-22-2006, 11:34 PM

One of the only 3D Zelda bosses I've ever really had difficulty with was that goddamn Fish in the Great Bay Temple from Majora's Mask. I don't think I ever ended up getting the hang of that one. I haven't fought it in years at this point and I don't even really remember how the fight went, I just recall it pissed me off.

PanMan · 11-23-2006, 07:26 PM

I agree that the first boss was really easy. Oh well, it's been fun so far. I've been playing for almost 10 hours now and just finished the first boss. I might not be the best at these types of games, but I bet this will push the 100 hour mark for me

**ThirdMarioBro** · 11-23-2006, 07:33 PM

I am soooo bad at Dungeons. Majora gave me so much hell, it drove me to GameFAQs. I swore off getting any help for Twilight, so I'll probably be playing this into Spring.

Bah, time to take a break and go run off my Cyndi Lauper & 80's music awards beta max tapes.

Seriously, this is the greatest game I've played. Personal opinion, but I'm sticking to it.

Peanut · 11-23-2006, 08:52 PM

Just wondering, have you played through that first part as the wolf? The part where you....

Very minor spoiler

Spoiler:

Cause if you played that and enjoyed it, you're either lying or have problems. Seriously, horrible horrible stuff. Especially considering you don't just do it once.

This is a great game, but I'm going to be honest, I've had more fun with Viva Pinata. There's just a ton of stuff that bogs this Zelda down a bit, the sword swinging is one of them. It feels no better than pressing a button, except that when you press a button there's no lag, so you can time those sword slashes perfectly instead of having to swing early or just wildly.

Demented Utrom · 11-23-2006, 10:25 PM

I thought the first 2 Dungeons, were easy.I had more, trouble with Bokoblin Boar riders then the first 2 Dungeons.Some guy, at Gamefaqs claimed he beat the game in 31 hours.I ordered the guide, from Nintendo.
I think the boss fights, were harder in Zelda OOT then this game.

Peanut · 11-23-2006, 10:33 PM

I would have to disagree. There wasn't a single difficult boss fight in OoT. Twinrova could get difficult if you were unlucky, and Ganon could be a pain in the ass in his final form, but they weren't difficult. Besides, you've only faced two bosses so far. The equivilent of the Deku Tree and Death Mountain bosses from OoT. If anything the TP bosses are tougher from the get go. The first boss in OoT was insanely simple, and while the first boss in TP isn't much harder, the method in which you defeat it is much more complex.

BTW, you don't need commas in the middle of your sentence for no reason.

Peanut · 11-26-2006, 09:54 PM

Am I the only one who got this game or what? Where the hell is everyone? I just beat the 5th dungeon, and as the game goes along, I keep getting more and more impressed. This really is a very different Zelda game, even in terms of the way some of the game plays. I don't really know how to put it, but after the first 3 dungeons TP really starts to stand out on it's own, and in a very very good way.

It still hasn't surpassed TWW for me, but it's damn good.

*Brodie* · 11-26-2006, 10:16 PM

Mr. "**** the Wii, I cancelled my preorder."

I love this game. I only dislike how the puzzles are, at times, harder than the bosses. It's sickening sometimes.

*Dr. Doom* · 11-26-2006, 10:27 PM

I should have it later this week.

There were hard puzzles?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 11-27-2006, 12:15 AM

Well, Nintendo's apparently gotten off of their "make games easy for everyone" stance. This game is a bitch in terms of difficulty. I guess I'm just a bit of a pussy, but I have a hard-ass time with Zelda dungeons, and this one is like the Water Temple from MM over and over for me. It has no effect on my enjoyment of the game, but damn if it isn't hard. Like Yoshi's Island 2. Meeeean game, but then again, WW was easy as hell, so maybe I'm just spoiled. Either way, I'm horrible at puzzle solving. Horrible.

Bah, the Wolf parts aren't bothering me, but I admit they aren't the most fun part of the experience. Doesn't affect my stance that this game is already surpassing OoT for me, and I've held that as my favorite game ever, even in the face of Metroid Prime. I still can't get over the cinemas and how cool they are. This really is a different breed of Zelda.

Peanut · 11-27-2006, 12:27 AM

I will give it to you that this game does have some pretty fiendishly head scratching puzzles, but I don't find it that much harder. It's funner though. I will say that. The puzzles in this game are a lot more fun than in OoT. Probably on par with Wind Waker, but with a dash of difficulty and complexity thrown in for good measure.

And yeah, this is a different game. Where are you though? If you haven't hit the 4th dungeon yet, you don't even understand how different it really is.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 11-27-2006, 05:07 AM

The water temple in OOT was a pain.. I can't wait for this new game!
