Zelda Non Spoiler Ish Questions I have

[SharkAttack]

1) How do you get to carry more than 200 Rupees at any one time? Extra holding ability further into the game?

2) I'm in the Dragon Mountain dungeon (up to the room with the lava and the bats). Am I missing something here? How do you get the bomb spores off of the wall? I'm thinking I missed picking up the hookshot? Don't spoil things too much if I'm wrong or make it obvious what i'm missing...
I've tried throwing rocks and pots at the bombs.

3) Why when I landed in the Lava did Link yell Wahhhh! and appear at the start of the room? That was annoying and made no sense.

That is all for now!

You can't just yet - keep playing & all will be revealed

I've tried not to spoil things for you.

1) How do you get to carry more than 200 Rupees at any one time? Extra holding ability further into the game?

It is.

2) I'm in the Dragon Mountain dungeon (up to the room with the lava and the bats). Am I missing something here? How do you get the bomb spores off of the wall? I'm thinking I missed picking up the hookshot? Don't spoil things too much if I'm wrong or make it obvious what i'm missing...

You don't need the hookshot to navigate this part.

3) Has anyone ever tried sailing all the way back to outset island straight away as you get your sail? What happens?

I haven't.

This in effect is link dying. The game just resets you back to the either the room you were in or the room before and takes some energy away from you (which will always be giving back by the next pot you smash)

Your so so so so so close with the bomb spores on the wall as well!!!

Switch off your targeting computer and use the force

At the end of the game do you get worse ending or marked down for having too many deaths? They should do that!

[quirky]

I don't think falling in the lava counts as a death does it? I mean, counts as in increases the death count on the Load Game screen, obviously it is fairly painful for our hero I think the counter only increases when you get GAME OVER (yes, it happens, I was being really crap and got a game over...)

As for sailing back to Outset... you can't change the wind direction, so it is impossible to do, I think. Or at least it would take a lot of "tacking" (if that's the right term). The sailing is tedious enough without making it last longer though.

It's made easier when you learn the "Ballad of Gales" though. ^_^

[SharkAttack]

ah! So there is a death count on the loading screen?

The lava didn't seem like a death as Link found himself lying on the floor at the start of the room holding his burning backside but it happened exactly the same as the time I got my girlfriend to play and she drowned him (she didn't get a Game Over then either).

[TommyG]

Yeah sorry about that maybe i should of explained myself a little better :/

[srgbilco]

These are EXTENSIVE spoilers that tell you what to do. You have been warned...

1.

Go find a fairy on an island. There's one north of Windfall that you don't need any extra equipment to gain access to. They live on small islands in big shells.

2.

As far as I can remember, you have to take a rock from the ledge nearby and throw it at the bombs. That'll set em off.

3.

You get the Wind Waker when you reach Dragon Roost Island and the wind direction change song is on a little island in a bay to the north of your boat, but still in Dragon Roost Island. But the boat insists you complete the dungeon first and then insists you sail to the next dungeon immediatley.

[SharkAttack]

Question - When you complete TWW can you load your game up again and go around completing all the mini quests and side quests to 100% it?

And finally - I can't remember looking but does the Quest Log Load screen have a % of game completed marker?

[Mayhem]

When you complete WW you are given the option to save. If you want to keep what you've already done, then DON'T put it in the same location position you've been using. You'll overwrite it and lose everything! Put it in a new location instead. Essentially there's a new "second quest" to then play off this save game, but I'm not sure exactly what extras and new stuff you get in it...

[SharkAttack]

Right so when you get nearer the ending its best to save a copy of your game and use that to complete and the other to collect all and finish the side quests..

Enjoying the game. Controls, Graphics, Sound and Atmosphere are absolutely spot on.

However my gripes so far (just before entering the no doubt Scorpion boss thing behind the golden door) -

1) The Camera - It is great most of the time and it was great until last night when I started playing. For some reason it suddenly started moving on its own when I had it in free cam. So annoying. But this isn't so bad compared with - When in a dungeon - When in a battle against 5 foes - I step slightly inside a hole in the wall room and the camera decides to stick to Link's head!!! WTF?! How the hell am I meant to fight off the 5 bad guys when all I can see is Link's big flicking eyes?! Basic Camera Fault. Fix it for Celda 2 please.

2) Lack of Graphical Polish - I can't stand clipping. Little things like extra weapons link holds (like the big sword) go "through" steps, walls and so forth when climbing or moving. The scorption/millipede type enemy was almost going THROUGH the stairs. Could have done with a bit more polish as these things tend to stand out a mile when you are playing in a lush fantastic looking environment.

3) Make Link a bit more intelligent please. I wanted to cut the rope bridge 1 enemy was standing on but Link jumped forward on my third sword swipe - Straight off the mountain to his doom. It is common sense that I didn't control him with the intention of a hop,skip and jump attack.

But they are kind of minor gripes - Ones that would stop me giving this game a 10/10 so far though.

Someone mentioned there was a death counter - Is that so? Can't find it.

[quirky]

I said there was. I made it up though. I checked last night, because I wasn't sure, and lo and behold it wasn't there. Soz.

My biggest gripe, without a doubt, is the tedious sailing. It looks nice the first few times, but it takes FOREVER to get anywhere. The rest of the game is so action packed and ace that this really stands out - it's as if they have added it to pad the game out or something. Just to rub salt in the wound, they add the random unavoidable cyclone that spits you out in the same spot you've just spent half your life sailing from. Arrrrrggghh!
