  • Another end of a quest

    Last weekend another journey found its end. On Saturday I finally finished Zelda: Twilight Princess. Yes, I know that it’s been almost four months since I started to play it but the 72 hours of puzzling I needed to complete mean almost 45 minutes per day.

    Final thoughts after the game are that in the whole it was a quite enjoyable experience and that it was worth every single second. Brought back sweet memories from my times with Zelda on the NES, SNES and GameBoy.

    Now I’ll take my last savepoint and try to solve the remaining mini-quests and puzzles which are still lying around all over Hyrule.

    SPOILER WARNING

    For a Zelda veteran most of the fights and puzzles were not too hard although some of them have kept me quite busy for some time.

    • In the Forest Temple, quite at the beginning it took me some time to find out that I have to throw the "living bombs" to blow up a rock which blocked the entry to a necessary room. Dunno why I didn’t get the grasp of how to throw the bomb instantly…
    • Ganondorfs second form (the monster) was easy at first but then I didn’t get Midnas hint to morph into wolf-shape and beat him down through grabbing him like goats or Gorons.
    • The hard-to-see switch crystal at the bottom of the right wing in the City In The Sky escaped my eyes very well…

    These are the only hard obstacles which kept in my mind till the end.

    And just for my personal reference, if I ever think I can read it without spoiling much:

  • High-Tech charge

    NULL

  • Last day sickness

  • Back on track

  • Wii impressions and Zelda Twilight Princess bug

    Ok, it’s Monday and I had a few hours on the weekend to play around with the Wii and Zelda. Currently I’m having sore muscles around my neck and shoulders from playing tennis, bowling and boxing in the Wii Sports bundle but it’s been worth it so far.

    Zelda has been also quite satisfying until now and there has been just one downturn. About 15 minutes after the beginning where you get your horse and have to roundup the goats. After bringing in the goats there is a chance to practice showjumping where you can finish the practice by jumping over the exit doors. During practicing I saved the game and then left the room with the game inside a menu. When I came back the Wiimote has turned itself off because of inactivity and the game said that it has lost connection to the controller. I reactivated the Wiimote and the game found it again but the button to continue playing stayed disabled. No problem so far I thought, resetted and reloaded my savegame. Surprisingly I again got the duty to roundup the goats but they refused to enter their stable. And also the fence of the area was opened opposed to it’s state when I saved the game so I couldn’t leap over it with my horse. In the end I was completely unable to finish this quest and had to dump this savegame. It wasn’t a large drawback because I just needed 10 minutes to reach this spot again but I hope such errors don’t pop up later in the gameplay again. In the future I’ll have to look out not to be inside an active quest while saving.
