I got kicked out of the fishing hole shack! w00t!

This is why I took about 65hrs to complete Zelda, because of all the
little things that make it more an experience and less of a hack-n-slash,
mission-intensive, have-to-beat-the-clock-on-every-level type
of game.

For those of you (Day, Nancy) who are explorers like me, if you haven't
checked out the fishing hole shack >in it's entirety<, do so. It was
highly entertaining. Any questions as to what I'm talking about, anyone
can email me separately so as not to spoil it for everyone else.

As far as the ending goes, I would never have thought of the things
that happened, happening. Quite the wild ride. I wish I had an
audience during the final battles, because I was pretty vocal at the
end, and noone saw it.

I will, as always, be eagerly anticipating the next installment, whenever
it comes out, and hope that it's bigger, harder, longer and even more
satisfying at the end. Which can be taken two different ways, so
get your minds out of the gutter, people. =)

Well Magic that's great that you have finished. Poor little old me, I'm
still waiting to get my hands on the Wii. You're right I am an explorer and
I can't wait to get started on the game. I guess it will be after Christmas
before I will be able to get one. They sell out as fast as they come in
around here and I'm usually having to work and can't be there the get one.
When I do get started on the game I will be sure to ask you about the
fishing hole shack.
I'm sure it will take me longer than 65 hrs to complete because I like to
take my time and explore. That's one thing I didn't like about Majora's Mask
the time limit thing. Seeing as how I'm 60 years old it takes me longer to
do things I had a hard time getting through the dungeon's and finding all
the 15 fairies too before I had to go back to day one. I'm so glad this one
isn't like that and I will be able to enjoy it without having to hurry.

May have spoilers, nothing too major.













Cool! Just this evening I checked out the fishing shack (found it while
looking for bugs). How much more fun could fishing be?? The look on
Link's face when they get away is priceless. The fishing shack in it's
entirety is driving me nuts though, grrr.

I just put the mirror back together last night so at 65+ hours in I have a
lot more to do. I'm glad the ending was so much fun. I too can't wait for
the next installement hoping it will be out before the end of the decade.

Oh yeah! He gets that look as if to say, '*hit! Damn fish!* I saw that
too, it was priceless. The games are challenging with the Wii, I don't
know how they will be with the 'Cube version.

Have you 'tapped' on the fish tank glass yet? =)

It took me so long to get used to the time problem with MM that I
was ready to throw in the towel on the game. Morbid sense of
curiosity, I let the moon crash a few times just to hear that sorrowful
song play. It really makes you feel that the whole universe is coming to
an end.

Yes, you don't have to hurry on this installment, and there's tons to
explore. Hopefully you've gotten a Wii by now!

Ya, she kicked me out! It was an accident, I didn't mean to make to tap on
the glass. Learned my lesson though. The fishing area is a nice bit of
whimsy, I really enjoyed it. I'm done with the fishing shack for now
though, too frustrating, I just can't get it. I was dead set on picking up
the GC version of this game because I still find the swording with the
remote a bit off. I think I will try to find a copy eventually. I just
can't shake the feeling it would feel more at home on the GC. Right now I'm
in that darn cave, can't get past the level 42 (or so).

No Magic I haven't gotten the Wii yet. I'm going to give it another try the
morning after Christmas. I heard they are going to have some avaible then so
I will be waiting when the doors open at Wally World. Wish me luck!!!!!!

The first time for me was an accident too.. Then I decided to see
what would happen if I deliberately did it a few times. Hee hee!

Learned my lesson though. The fishing area is a nice bit of

Try clearing out the armored foes with a couple of well-placed
explosive-tipped arrows. This works if you hit them just in front of
them to blow off their armor. Once the armor is clear, and they toss
their swords at you, then you have to go toe to toe.

I don't know about everyone else, but I like the fact that some of those
armored enemies are tough to beat and you have to really be good
with the sword to do it. Makes me feel as though I'm watching a well-
rehearsed fight scene in a movie, but I'm controlling the action.

Good luck, Day!

Thanks, TME! I have a hard time with the hidden skills and the wii remote.
I will try the bombs, thanks for the tip! Do you have any tips on fighting
the ice creatures with icicle spears?

find a Wii!
