A LOT later on. Trust me.

I giggled when I saw the Kraken Tentalus. So cute! Right out of Monsters Inc.

So I wasn't the only one to think that! Well, I know at least one other person (I think it was Shane) also said so in chat, but the first time I saw it, I was like "That's totally a Pixar creature." I disagree on the "cute" though; I thought it was pretty ugly.

When Faron broke her part of the song into tadpoles I felt like breaking her face into tadpoles.

Agreed here also... I hated that b****.

I like the dragon's singing though. And the face Link made

bout Dungeon 5's Boss

Yes it was me. I swear they directly got Pixar to do this boss...

Also I swear when the tentacles grab you it's a Morpha reference (due to the swaying and all that)

Boss Rush mode

Also find it funny how Ghirahim can steal your master sword. Nintendo, what are you up to?

So I just beat the game. Although a review will be coming within the next few days, let me just say here that it was incredibly amazing. Shorter than advertised, but amazing nonetheless. *goes to read 15 pages of posts*

In the whole game, the only item with somewhat broken controls is the bug catching net, too prone to glitching out and not completing the full sweep I'm trying to perform. Every other item worked as intended, even if aiming them required me to re-center the display every now and again. I also dislike the fact that you don't get the Hyrulian shield & the 2,000 rupees for beating the Boss Rush, you only get the 2,000 rupees which is rubbish!

I'm up to the very very last boss fight during first play through and the games been pretty great, some things did drag on a bit but I liked the diversity in the dungeons as well as the puzzles they came up with Swimming was fine too, can't see why you'd complain about it though the same could be said about me and my complaint about the bug catching net.

Oh and the thing with Demise is that you are meant to fool him into thinking your going to attack from one direction then attack from the opposite direction. He moves his hand (Slight delay behind your motions) to "grab" your blade which is what you have to counter and is what the puzzle for his battle revolves around, at least for the first phase, 2nd phase he fights like a Stalfos. My favourite enemy in the game would have to be the 4 armed Stalfos miniboss, so much more fun and dangerous then the boss of the temple that featured this mini boss :/ On the plus side however, you can re-verse mini-bosses by revisiting temples so I can re-verse him as often as I want

I either shield-bashed his attacks then snuck in an attack or snuck in a hit just before he attacked then dodged. I had a powered-up defense potion though so didn't care about taking hits That potion is so handy for the gauntlet before Ghirahim too.

For everyone b****ing about the boss rush, I did it as soon as I fixed up the dragon so the Imprisoned was the final battle (and the shield was my prize). Then I had to half-do it again to get the heart piece -_-

[Nicholas Steel]

Beat the final boss in the game, lost both shields and ran out of 3 life potions and 1 life+ potion but beat the boss with 1 heart left, was both intense and fun.

[Russ]

So am I the only one who things the shield is useless? I had it with me through the first three dungeons, but I never used it and ended up putting it in storage in favor of holding more bottles and heart medals.

Also, the ability to make a copy of your save file before overwriting it with hero mode would have been nice.

I didn't think so either until i started using it more effectively. The shield really becomes more useful around the 4th dungeon as that's when those Bokoblin Archers start to appear. They're probably the most annoying enemy in the game.

Yeah, the shield is better than the rupees, but at least you can go do the bosses all over again and get the rupees pretty easily (I think it's 3,000 rupees for doing every boss too).

I thought swimming sucked, tbh. Slow as heck and hard to even aim where you're supposed to go. Plus they removed the Dash that you could do in TP when you're on the surface. We should've had the TP way of swimming, it was much better.

I never attempted to slash at Demise during the second phase as I thought you had to use the Skyward Strike to stun him beforehand as nothing would ever go through. That and his sword was electrified the entire time, so I'd rather not waste my health that way.

You do realize that timing a shield bash correctly will stun melee enemies, right? I was doing that against Demise but a couple miss timings resulted in them being broken pretty fast (Successful counter with a shield bash results in no damage being dealt to your shield). After shield bashing you can usually get one or 2 hits in if your fast enough, once I ran out of shields I had to think of a new way to kill him and ended up parrying his attacks which very often left him open to one or 2 attacks.

The problem with this is you have to be very quick to parry immediately after getting your hits in or else you WILL get hurt. I also like how he looked pretty much how Tekken final bosses look xD

The Boss Rush earns you 2,500 rupees for fully completing it during first playthough. Not sure if it changes during Hero Mode other then adding Demise to the roster as well as presumably Girahims final fight.

Funny thing was, I tried doing a Skyward Strike 2 or 3 times, thinking I'd get a lightning sword, but Link never held up the sword, so I figured only Demise could do that. So I beat him without using the lightning at all. Just get close, wait for him to attack, get a quick swipe in and backflip out of the way of his counter attack.

Also, here's a thought. The entrance to the arena you fight Demise in is the same place the triforce landed in the present. So is it possible that the place you fight him is actually the Sacred Realm?
