Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword [SPOILERS]

Question about an item that I will be putting in spoilers (as Razmos should do because I don't want to read about what I'll be getting before I get it, thanks)

For anyone who has beaten or is near the end of the game

 Spoiler

Did I miss the bow somewhere or is it in one of the last two dungeons? I just got the clawshot and will be entering that dungeon soon, but it seems awfully late in the game to not have the bow yet. Just answer with a yes or no regarding whether I have missed it (yes for have, no for have not/can not)

For Sarah:

 Spoiler

It's in the dungeon you're about to enter.

Boss of the Fire Sanctuary (6th dungeon)

 Spoiler

Surprise, it was Ghiramin again. Awesome fight was awesome, still mostly the same as the first fight except that i knew what i was doing this time, he got a bit menacing at the end, can't wait to see how the story unfolds from here

Eh, sorry Sarah

Edit: Oh oh!

 Spoiler

Master Sword get!, Triforce get!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME WATER DRAGON, REALLY?

 Spoiler

"Oh i know you have a world to save and all, precious little time and all that but clearly all you have done for me is still not worthy of learning part of this song, so i'm gonna flood the entire Faron Province and make you play drowning-hide-and-seek for musical notes, fun!"

Seriously what the hell.

Hyrule's always had some douchy guardian deities, we all know it to be true

Also, OCremix came out with a 25th anniversary Zelda remix album:

I cannot, for the life of me

 Spoiler

Figure out how to get them power generators to work in lanaryu mines. aaah-

Man this game never ends.

EAT ME, FINAL BOSS.


I beat the game. :3 I didn't 100% the game, though. I saved over the file with Hero Mode. lol I'll begin that either sometime tonight or tomorrow.

Total time so far : 34 hours and 58 minutes.

Hero Mode does not reset your timer, so that stacked on with your first quest save file will be well over 60 hours easily.

Just popped my copy in

Man this game never ends.

that's a really good thing

Can't get mine until tomorrow. Whoever told me there was no delay with pre-orders, well, you were wrong =(

uh, does this keep in traditional zelda fashion? IE:

 Spoiler

There being a bunch of side crap to do after the first three dungeons

Just finished watching the credits

 Thoughts

I'm really happy that they addressed the entire series in Ganon's final words. I think it was a really good way to explain it to those who weren't already familiar with the Zelda lore.

I was kind of bummed because a) Ghirahim didn't end up being Vaati and b) Groose didn't end up becoming Ganon. The latter was kind of a joke when I thought of it but I thought it would be spectacular and would actually work, even if he was just possessed. Imagine it now... Groosendorf.

It was a good game. I still like Minish Cap more, though.

Holy crap... Hero Mode. This is not for the faint of heart. @_@ No pun intended.

In Hero Mode, not only do you take double the damage from monsters, but hearts DO NOT DROP AT ALL from Monsters, grass, jars, or AN-Y-THING! Heart flowers also do not exist. You had better either regularly stock up on fairies in the Skyview Spring or get good at catching bugs for enhanced potions because it's going to be a doozy not being able to get hearts from ANYTHING.


I'm up to Eldin Volcano on Hero Mode. I haven't died yet, even though I came close in the first dungeon due to negligence, but I'm not sure how long that luck will last. lol

Oh, man. Hero Mode is definitely a good challenge for Zelda veterans. It still may not be as hard as Zelda for the NES or Zelda II, but it's still pretty challenging. You certainly have to have a good grasp on the controls to survive well enough.


Edit : By the way, Sarah :

 Spoiler

You said "address the series in Ganon's final words." lol It was Demise, not Ganon. Ganon isn't born yet. They sort of strike a resemblance, but they're two different beings of evil.

Well, Ganondorf actually fuse with Demise to get his power, so we can basically call him Demise. The opposite isn't true though.
