The Legend Of Zelda - General Thread

The problem is, I have to swing it fast. It the stupid eye things that you have to confuse by moving it quickly in a circle.

You still don't really need to move it that fast for those.

Yeah, you can move it like, pretty slow and they still follow it enough to become dizzy.

In fact moving it fast is worse because you're more likely to "cut corners" so to speak and not make a proper circle.

No, but I can't move it that slowly, either. I spent a whole damn week trying to find the right speed, then got pissed off and quit. I'll inevitably pick it up again (it is Zelda), but...

It really doesn't take that long. You have to be locked on, though (and if there's more than one, they all have to be done at the same time).

Okay. Thanks!

... Are you doing it right?

I'm asking because I've noticed a lot of people blame their faults at a video game on motion controls for no reason other than no one can really disprove them. It's become pretty annoying to me that I see a lot of people bash Skyward Sword for clunky motion controls when I had a perfectly swell time with them, I just had to learn to play a video game a little different than usual.

I mean, really, you don't need to move it that fast. At all. Just do it at a moderate pace. Just turn your wrist. It isn't that complicated.

Have you gotten to the part with multiple eyes? You know you have to get them all at the same time, right?

Yes, there are two of them. I'm not locked on, I tried to do them one at a time.

Nope, I didn't. And the last thing I want to do is blame things on Legend Of Zelda, because they are the best games ever.

Yeah, I had trouble when there were two as well. You'll eventually run into three at once, too. You don't have to lock on for either of those, but you do need to be standing in a very specific spot to get all of them at once.

Can't say that I agree with this statement...

It at least won against your series in 2006. :P

WHAT GAME MADE IN 2006? I HAVEN'T THE SLIGHTEST IDEA OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Eh, I like Sonic too, but it's Zelda. Come on.

... Meh.

Anyway, speaking of Sonic and Zelda, I'm gotta work on my story. Now, how to make hide-n'-seek interesting...

Yay!

Just to make sure you know, you have all the eyes looking at you, and dizzy them at the same time. You can't do them one at a time.

Okay.

Skyview had the most basic puzzles in the game. And the eye one is clearly a resemblance to Mr. I (was that its name?) in Super Mario 64.

Forgot. The spinny things that shot cotton candy if you stood still for too long.

Aye.

Speaking of Twilight Princess, I'd love to see some of TP's special moves brought back. Fatal Blow has stuck around, but I'd really like to see things like the deadly draw or the Back Slice brught back. Especially Back Slice. That move is baws.

Mortal Draw.

Heck, bring back all of the Hidden Skills from TP (Back Slice and Helm Splitter FTW). And the Tiger Scrolls from MC.

I'm surprised that those weren't included in the combat-centric Skyward Sword.

Skyward Sword was about introducing the idea of full motion combat. It's intentionally simple. It's the same reason for the less detailed art-style, and relative lack in enemy variety.

The Mortal Draw was probably my favorite Hidden Skill.

The other was the Jump Strike, just because I liked the ingenious concept of using the same properties as a Spin Attack for a ground pound.

The Back Slice would have to be one of my favorites of the Hidden Skills from TP. Really gave a feeling of fluidity to combat unlike some of the other moves which either required a charge or just standing still and waiting for the command to show up.
