Zelda LttP

[Psyleid]

In the third dungeon of the Dark World (it's in the forest) there is a room I can't figure out how to get to. I've looked for about a half hour but haven't had any success.

It's not important for me to beat the game (I've beaten it a few times) but I'm curious.

I can't remember. It's been a long time since I've played LttP. Did you try hitting the star switch in another room and then checking that room?

[Psyleid]

The closest star to that locked door is in the next room (look at the picture) but I can't find any way to get to that part of the room. I've looked overhead for holes in the ground, nothing.

I've tried hitting stars in earlier part of the dungeon but they have no effect on that part.

I checked a few faqs but none of them mentioned that room.

[Psyleid]

Found it. The enterance was a hole in the ground, nearly on the other side of the map... I guess that's what I get for not checking literally everywhere. :P

LttP = Da best.

[Hounder]

Crap....I was hoping you hadn't found it yet so I could help ya out :P lol LttP is the best Zelda game ever IMO. I love that game.

[rbudrick]

I remeber some places in that game making you do that kind of crap, like travelling to EBF Hyrule just to get to one screen you couldn't reach before.

Damn, I love that game.

Probably the best game that will be made. But, I'm biased, I don't like playing 3d games as much as 2d.

Link's Awakening > LttP

Yeah, that's right. I said it.

Link's Awakening > LttP

Yeah, that's right. I said it.

Link's Awakening was a great Gameboy game and I still play it to this day :) But, heck, not near as good as LttP. I do like the fact that both are very similar but the overall gameplay on the SNES was just so much better IMO.

Don't get me wrong though, these are both two of my favorite Zeldas of all time with Ocarina and Twilight right there with 'em :)

Link's Awakening > LttP

Yeah, that's right. I said it.

I agree. Link's Awakening has always been my favorite Zelda.

LttP is indeed awesome though. I think it's a testament to the quality of the Zelda series that (with a few exceptions) I can honestly say that I've enjoyed every game that has been released immensely.

It's going to be a sad day when the battery dies on my cartridge.

It's been happening slowly to my other snes games.

Uh, so why not replace the battery?

[Hounder]

The battery dying doesn't hurt the game, it's the rom being erased. If the rom erases itself then you will lose everything...obviously. I assume SNES games do the same as NES in which they will eventually erase themselves in 30+ years????

[kedawa]

A dead battery only kills your saves. It doesn't affect the ROM in any way whatsoever. I don't have any idea what you're talking about with the NES thing. It sounds ridiculous.

Anyway, for those of you who really love LttP, what version would you recommend, the SNES, or GBA? I've never played the game, but I really want to because I've been a fan of the Zelda series since OoT.

:hmm: What in the hell are you talking about?

Don't say bit rot. Seriously.

Link's Awakening > LttP

Yeah, that's right. I said it.

I think that the story for Link's Awakening is superior to LttP. I also think that some of the dungeons are more well designed. LttP is longer and has more stuff to find, though, so I love them both. I can't get into a 3D Zelda game like I can with these two (and the original, of course).

[rbudrick]

Lol @ NES games dying.

-Rob

[Psyleid]

You just lose the saves when the batteries die... Still, if you can't save there isn't much point in playing considering the length of the game.


I would change the battery but do they even sell those types of screwdrivers? What batteries do they take?

The battery is a standard CR2032 button battery you can get at just about any department or drug store, it just has tabs attached to hold it into place. You can remove the old battery and put a plastic holder in for the new battery, making any later replacements a snap. The screwdriver is called a game bit (can't remember the real name but that's what most people call it), which you can get from eBay or many electronics dealers. I got mine from MCM Electronics.

Be warned, if you want to do it right you'll need to know how to solder, hopefully without making batteries explode. ;)

[Psyleid]

Sounds like a pain in the ass.

Got any detailed step-by-step sites for it?

[rbudrick]

Well, if you know how to solder, it's really straight forward. Nothing to it.

If you don't put a holder in there, just be careful not to touch the solderingiron to the battery for more than a second at a time to avoid it bursting, cuz that's bad.

Also, I've found GB carts very easy to open without the special bit...just use needle nosed pliers.

OBJECTION! </Phoenix Wright>

I can sit down, start a game of Zelda, and finish it without saving. That's true for 1 (both quests), 2, and Link to the Past. So I guess that becomes your Speedrun cart.

It's when they added like 50 sidequests to each Zelda after that (OoT onward) that I stopped playing the series...

[Psyleid]

Why don't you like side quests?

[rbudrick]

Yeah, side quests kinda piss me off too. I think they get in the way of the main game and are a big distraction. They often seem like work to me. Take FFVII, with the casino and the chocobo breeding and all that shit. Complete, total pain in the ass.

I'm not saying everything has to be totally linear, but sidequests are too often just extra shit that is tedious, annoying, and unrewarding.

-Rob

[Psyleid]

They probably throw them in there just because the game would too short without them.

[goemon]

Aren't sidequests supposed to be optional? That's why they're sidequests, not part of the main quest. If you're talking about necessary actions unrelated to the main quest (like the damn scavenger hunts in WW) then yeah, those can get annoying.
