Hn, I wonder why they changed it? MM was fine the way it was.

It's a long story, but the 3DS version changed a lot of things from the original, some for the better and some for the worse. It's a very controversial remake.

3DS Gyorg has a second phase where he destroys the central pillar and you have to fight him underwater

The first phase is easy since you only need to arrow him (except when he runs you over in his honda civic), it's the second phase that makes me want to grill him in lemon juice. Long story short you need him to swallow mines but he only sucks when you're really close and you can't use the zora barrier swim to unleash the mines since when he sucks they move down and you have a tendency to bounce straight into them thanks to the wonky controls. The fight took me 1 and a half days of slowed time and this was a repeat when I already knew what to do. He didn't even have the decency to kill me, we were just stuck in a stalemate for 72 mins.

[up]it's not that bad as you can change time with the song of double time by the hour instead of half a day in the 3ds version.

Huh. I don't remember having that much trouble with the Gyorg fight in the 3DS.

Either I knew something the rest of you didn't, or I forgot how tough it was.

Honestly it was fine on my first go but now that I'm doing it again and again it just gets worse and worse

Is there any way to stop Cole from summoning rats long enough to drawn a trail for Zelda to reach her body? Every time I try to Cole just summons more rats even though I had just beaten some of his summoned rats.

It's been too long (2011, so 14 years ago) since last time I played Spirit Tracks, I'm afraid. I have a vague memory of always drawing forward Zelda's route so she could continue walking until Cole summoned rats and Link had to dispatch them. I can't say for sure if that's the most optimal strategy, however.

Oh, I misinterpreted - sorry. I thought that the slider had broken when it was really high.

So, I'm replaying Ocarina of Time, as one is wont to do sometimes, and I'm realizing on this playthrough... Farore's Wind is useful, actually?

I think at this point "the Water Temple isn't as bad as everyone says" is more of a room temperature take than a hot one, but even in the event that you miss a key? Hey, that's actually what Farore's Wind is for: just leave a warp point at the door and teleport back after you find the key. It cut back on a lot of backtracking for both there and the Forest Temple, and helped out in the Fire Temple when I realized I was missing Scarecrow's Song for a side area.

It's probably only truly useless if you know where everything is already anyways, and even then I'm sure there's still areas where it's a time saver if you know what you're doing.

How hot of a take is that the TOTK Water Temple isn't that bad?

I don't think it's the worst thing ever, but I will never understand why they didn't make the Ancient Zora Waterworks the Water Temple instead.

I use Farore's Wind in almost every dungeon after I get it, usually multiple times. I think the Spirit Temple is the only one I don't, and even then I could probably find a use for it, but I like taking my time with the Spirit Temple.

Yeah, its not bad, just.....boring.

Honestly, the whole Zora region plot just feels misdesigned if that's a word I just invented. The Water Temple being in the sky feels like a retread of the Wind Temple, how they barely use the many waterfalls in the area which would have made much better sense for the temple (and use the Slippery status with climbing), how the game keeps Sidon away from you until there's literally no option left, whereas Tulin and Yunobo cover a massive distance with you in their region's (I assume Riju has the whole desert, haven't gotten there). Even the lead up makes the region feel like a second thought, where you can either see the issue like with the Rito or Gorons or how NP Cs keep discussing the region problems. But Zora region is like "Oh yeah, something is happening probably."

Its not bad on its own,but compared to the other locations, its very weak.

I consider the TOTK water temple to a bad dungeon, like the low gravity gimmick doesn't do much for it, most of the puzzles are just not well designed, even the dungeon itself is just bland as you could mistaken it as another set of floating islands.

On one hand, I do appreciate they wanted to do something different for a Water Temple. I just think the result, and the whole quest-lead-up, is underwhelming.

You can't even get the full region specific outfit either as the legs part is only available after clearing the temple, not that it helps.
