Anybody know where the Goddess Wall in the Sealed Grounds is? I can't find it anywhere D:

Okay another progress update!!, so far made it to the, what I believe is the 5th dungeon, it looks like fun!,

And another thing,

Spoiler

I really love the "Whip" I love being a Indiana Jones rip off XD

[Cukeman]

So I just beat the second temple, and I have a theory about how the game ends.
Of course if I'm right some would consider it a major SPOILER:

hidden

Since we never see Fi in Ocarina of Time, I am guessing that
Fi dies at the end of the game, probably to protect Link.

lesser spoiler

Was that the first "Impa"? Who is Ghirahim's master? Hope people
don't feel cheated that he has a master It's okay with me.

So, I got into the 5th temple! The 4th was a piece of art!
The 5th's overworld area....OH MY GOD.

That's exactly what I thought. It's the only thing that makes sense. Maybe more. I don't know.

I'm in

Spoiler

Lanayru Desert, and need to get the third node activated

and I'm loving it so far. I really enjoy the revamps to the way supportive items/ some equipment is used. It really adds a level of strategy, and customization to taking on areas. I have managed to not die at all, and this includes not needing a fairy (because of dying). I do however, always have two heart potions, and a revitalizing potion. Maybe I'm just awesome with swords IRL The closest I came had me leave the second dungeon to search for hearts. I dunno why, but I just don't want to die in this game.

The collection and upgrade system also adds another layer to the game. Granted, it is hardly a fresh concept in gaming, it is one that works pretty well in Zelda, and is more than welcome by me

So far, this game is really feeling like a right mix from my favorite games in the series, plus a few other RPG elements that have been left out of the series. The combat feels a little like AlttP. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I guess the way your sword can bounce off of an enemy's if you don't swing right harkens back to the knights in AlttP, and may be the most accurate 3D depiction of that concept. The sidequests, and characters remind me of both TWW, and MM which IMO, had the best support characters. The way you get around is also very much like TWW.

I just gotta say, this game seems pretty big so far. I'm in between the second and third temples, and I'm at about 25 hours of playtime (I always take Zeldas very slow my first play through. Even though I've beaten OoT to death, I still went through OoT3D like I've never played it.), and there are still a lot of items I haven't found any of on the collection screen. This game seems to have the most side quests out of any Zelda so far too. And I also like the Goddess blocks. They make you explore, and they are often rewarding, again, in a similar fashion to TWW cause you usually get a Silver Rupee of a Heart Piece.

This might beat out TWW, and MM for favorites behind AlttP, and OoT in my book

Alright, I found dungeon four. At last. I swear that took longer to find than any of the previous dungeons, but at least it was engaging. Gonna get slightly into spoiler territory here, so:

Spoiler

I don't like swimming. I'm starting to see that a few of these controls have motion control for the sake of motion control. Aiming items and the beetle as well as flying I was okay with, but does everything have to rely on motion? Granted it's better motion than other Wii games I've played, but still. I would have rather been able to swim with the control stick...

It's not game-breaking though, since the game is still pretty neat. I like that overworlds you've already discovered open up even more as you return, with new tasks to carry out. And you even revisit the Skyview Temple? ... okay, mixed feelings about that. It felt like a waste of time, almost. But at least they changed up the enemy variety and threw in a new way to find the key, as well as the fight against three Stalfos. Which was... harder than fighting Ghirahim somehow. >.>

But Faron. ... Or as I like to call her, "Not-Faron," cuz she's a friggin' GIANT ZORA, and should be in Lanayru. And she's not a lemur either. So Not-Faron it is. I hope they explain why the water people live in the wrong region, and why the serpentine creature is in the wrong province as a guardian spirit. Unless there are different versions of Faron, Eldin, and Lanayru. And hopefully the story will explain that later on and put my mind to rest. As well as other things touched on so far that I might have mentioned.

Also, who else thinks the giant tree in Faron Woods is the Deku Tree or at least its predecessor?

Progress report!!, okay so far, just beat Dungeon 5, that dungeon took me forever...

Spoiler

The reason is the time traveling with the time shift stones , but the dungeon was freaking Fun!! Onward to the next

[Avaro]

I've now reached the 5th dungeon.

Spoiler

Actually I don't think I'm liking the idea of the 5th dungeon (a ship? oh well...), but the sidedungeon with the time-orb was genius! This is the best zelda, it has everything. Dungeon 4 was beautiful and great too! wow.. What bothers me, is that I can carry only one more temple-item, even though, there still 2 temples (i think) left. I really hope that theres a 6th dungeon too. But I'l have to do the 5th now first! So far, my favourite area+plus dungeon is the 3rd. The time-stones are a really cool idea, I just wonder if the robots knew, whats happening. This game is so fun and great!

[Jared]

Still stuck in level 5, dammit! Need to find the second generator...or get to it, because I saw it. I SAW IT!!!

Agreed.

Spoiler

It was pretty tight in the first round alone, but then it totally switched it up on us. Very neat, very clever, and fairly challenging. Very unique.

So yeah, beat the fourth dungeon. It was a unique dungeon, liked it.

Spoiler

Certainly a lot different from your typical water temple. I kind of like it; going underwater and using Iron Boots with a Zora outfit was getting a bit old. I liked that they made water a smaller portion of the scene that you swam through to get to different areas. It was nice. Then the zombie Bokoblins... man, that part where you had to race them up the rope was freaky.

Also, the first update to the Master Sword is sexy.
