Quote:They give you so many hints for that "puzzle"! You found the dungeon puzzles super easy but that one tough??
Hints? Where? I don't remember any hints for that puzzle!
Quote:It's amazing how sucky you are and how said your argument is. "But gamespot said--!!". That's great, you found someone as sucky as you! Congrats!
There are no real puzzles involved with findind the last triforce pieces as most of them involve just killing a bunch of baddies and paying attention to super obvious hints. Sailing is super fast once you realize how to use the c-stick (it's pretty simple, you just use your right thumb and move it) in order to use the baton.
Huh? I know that you sail in a direction, then cast the spell to change wind direction and then sail in that one, then do the warp if you're going somewhere near a teleporter, etc... it takes time.
Oh I was just playing. There are a bunch of mini-dungeons and those take time. Maybe you could get through three of them in half an hour but no matter how you try to spin it this thing takes hours. It's not the hardest thing ever but it is impossible to deny that it takes hours. Okay it could be done faster than I am doing it but I can easily see that there is a minimum time you could do this in, and your "half hour" is so absurdly far under that that it's ridiculous.
Quote:Right, because there are TONS of cheats in Zelda games. It's not a cheat! It's a quick and easy way to make money if you have the intelligence and luck to figure it out! Find a place with tons of bad guys, kill them, hit the gems when they turn a certain color, collect rupees, repeat. Find a big field of grass, collect tons of blue rupees, walk inside a house, go back outside and repeat. It's not cheating. Using FAQ's is cheating. This is not.
The color of those gems matters?
And FAQs are not cheating. Help isn't cheating. Cheating is getting past something without actually doing that... okay what you are talking about there isn't cheating. It's exploiting. And I wouldn't do that either.
Quote:Obviously the reviewer is as sucky at games as you are since he complained about having to find rupees, which was never a problem for me.
When you exploit the game like you clearly did I'm sure it wasn't.
Quote:I'm not the best Zelda player in the world, believe me. I usually take a while with puzzles, and the 2D bosses are usually pretty damn tough for me. However, I do tend to play through games very quickly. Call it a lack of patience or whatever, but I can usually find a quick way out of something. I timed how long it took for me to get those last triforce pieces because before the game came out I read all of those complaints of how long it takes and knew that it would come up in a future argument. It took me barely over half an hour to get all of them! It was a minor annoyance but not nearly as painful as you big cry babies say it was.
Sorry but I am sure that it is impossible to do everything involved in getting the pieces in half an hour even if you knew exactly what to do (from setting out to get the first map until you have all eight shards with you -- all of that time, not just part of it!) and had enough money to buy all the shards at once. Completely impossible. And for your first try when you say that 'puzzles take you a while'? It's ludicrous to say that!
