Have you warped away that big hunk of bridge in Gerudo Desert? After moving that out of the way, the cave is underneath.

I agree the water temple in ocarina of time was a pain in the ***. And yes the dungeons in TP were easy, i found myself beating them in just 40-70mins. The hardest dungeon in TP was
the lakebed one
Im so close in 100% beating the game.

One question, I'm planning to get the game for Gamecube, but before I do, there is one thing I want to ask.
Are there any dungeons missing from the Gamecube version that are in the Wii version?

Is this true?

It's definitely got my vote for the top 10 list of best console games ever made, but it's still not quite as good as OoT (it's close, though).

I think, in terms of gameplay as well as in terms of 3-D Zeldas, TP beats OoT, but it simply doesn't have that shock value OoT had, where everything was new, and so doesn't supplant it as Best Game of All Time.

the game gets annoying sometimes with the wii mote not responding to the sensor bar. Makes you want to beat the hell out of the wii console.

Never had this problem. Make sure there's nothing between you and the sensor bar, and that you have a fresh pair of batteries in the controller (although everything but the sound worked perfectly until my batteries completely died).

Make sure you've adjusted you're sensor bar both on the Wii system itself and also checked pointer setting through the options menu in the game. The only real problem is detection when you're trying to do a Spin Attack and the Remote occasionally not registering a swing, but it happens.

Is there a Sun Song equivalent in this game? I hate being unable to change the night to day and whatnot.
You need to be able to get to the City in the Sky. At whenever time you go there, when you come back, it will always be daytime.
A bit late in the game, I know.

Mana, the only problem I've had was making the nunchuck bash instead of spin. Try what the others suggested.

Dumb glitch...
I found a glitch that cost me 20 minutes of my time.
It was in the ice "temple"(?) in the room with about ten spinning ice enemies and a single poe. The floor is completely covered in ice. There is the door you came from, another door, and a locked one. (After getting the puumpkin and cheese.)
I had just re-entered the room after getting the key and was going towards the locked door. Right before reaching it, one of the spinning bad guys slid in front of me so I hit it with the sword and unlocked the door. This happened within less than half a second of each other.
I'm not sure how to explain it. It had that camera view of Link opening the door, but all he did was sheath his sword. He just stood there afterwards. The door didn't open, the lock didn't even come off. I was forced to reset the game.

Woot, finished the
Temple of Time. I hate how you use the Dominion Rod there, and then to move those statues and that's it. Never used again. Same with the Spinner- one dungeon and one or two other uses.
I also got the Magic Armor. It's really lame, because it drains your rupees all the time you have it on, and really quickly too. Then when you go broke it's useless.

Zink,
there's no use for rupees once you've bought everything, that's why the Magic Armor is useful in some situations (Cave of Ordeals)
Also, the Ball and Chain is VERY USEFUL in the Cave of Ordeals, if you throw it once into the Redeads it will kill them when the Ball snaps back.

Yeah, I was thinking that it might come in handy once I get and fill the biggest wallet... I was expecting that it would just deduct Rupees instead of health, not drain them :/
On another note, Hidden Village was nice. I hate how the original sniper thing is replaced by the cat minigae, that's so dumb.

I have a question about Twilight Princess. I'm considering buying the Wii for Christmas, and along with it I would buy a small repertoire of the Wii's best launch titles. Maybe as few as one game, since I don't have much time any longer to play console games.
Obviously Twilight Princess is high on my list. I know a lot of you will say it's amazing, or the best Zelda, and all that. And that's a very easy trap to fall into, when the hype of a game is still running high. But, I am not hyped about games any longer. I want to know whether you will still enjoy Twilight Princess in the hangover of the hype, once all the attention has gathered towards some new Zelda game. Will I play Twilight Princess as often as I do Link to the Past, or Super Mario 64? Does it compare positively to other games? Or am I better off saving my money to download Castlevania III and Goldeneye007?

Ok well, Ill put whats I tought of TP:
The game is excellent, it pwns ocarina yes, still after clearing it, it didnt felt much like other zelda games, tha game doesnt have much to do with the triforce or stuff like that, but more on midna, which I consider TP more like a side story in the zalda games, still with the wiimote the games feels awesome, pointing with the wiimote is easy and fun, and the game will have u hooked for a while til u clear it, but if ur like othe rplayers that want 100% of the game cleared, u wil ltake one long time... this is the best zelda ever IMO, and I recommend it...

Stupid Gamefaqs wont let me link it. >_<
Warning. SPOILERS, duh. Credit goes to Gamefaqs.
Code:
[spoiler]
a.) Howling Stone #1 -- N/A
b.) Howling Stone #2 -- Death Mountain
c.) Howling Stone #3 -- Upper Zora River
d.) Howling Stone #4 -- Lake Hylia
e.) Howling Stone #5 -- Sacred Grove
f.) Howling Stone #6 -- Snowpeak Ruins
g.) Howling Stone #7 -- Hidden Village
b.)The location of the second Howling Stone is on the trail up Death Mountain.
While traverising the path, you'll come across it on a bunch of rocky platforms
with geysers all around it. It's the first large area in the narrow path.
c.)The third Howling Stone is located in the upper portion of Lake Hylia, closest
to Zora's Domain. It is near Iza's cabin on a small cliff overlooking the river
and obtainable when the water is returned to the lake.
d.)The location of this stone is found near the tower where you first meet Auru.
It is in the southernmost part of Lake Hylia nearest to the Gerudo Desert.
You'll need to be able to transform in your wolf form at will, though, because
it requires both forms to access it.
e.)The location of the fifth howling stone is right outside of the entrance to the
Sacred Grove, shortly after you jump across the gaps with the wooden logs
swinging back and forth.
f.)This is found along the climb up Snowpeak mountain. It is near the top of the
mountain right outside of the cave you enter. It's on a ledge that hangs over
the mountain and is pretty hard to miss.
g.)The last Howling Stone is located behind the building to the right in the
Hidden Village -- the place with Impaz and where you shoot the bandits near
the Bridge of Eldin. Once you have found this stone, you'll have located them

Out of 10, what do you give it?

I'd give it a 9 or a 10. The only things that subtract from the game are the loose ends.
Ilia's kind of left hanging, there's no triumphant return to Ordon, and you don't get to explore Hyrule after having cleansed the evil from it like you usually do.

Congrats to Virgilijus on your purchase. Give me your number and I'll give you mine.
I haven't beaten Zelda yet, but I can already say that this is the best Zelda game ever. Period. Majora's Mask isn't too far behind.

Is it just me or did this game have a bunch of references to Shadow of the Colossus? I honestly found myself recognizing a bunch of elements like,
and the cheesy triumphant music that kicks in at certain points in boss battles. I'm not sure if they're mocking that game or paying it homage by the way they presented themselves, and I can't help but think their ambiguity expressed their ambivalence.
Oh well, though. Colossus stole major story elements from Zelda II, so I guess they had it coming.
And yeah Zink, the temples were defenitely heavily designed around their respective tools. Which is sort of alien because in previous Zeldas you usually used several items in a given dungeon. Still though, the variety they put into the item's use and puzzle solving in their given dungeons was superb. It's really just a different formulaic layout though, when you think about it, because when they're designing a new item, they ask themselves, "in how many scenarios can this be useful, challenging, and fun." And instead of spreading all those scenarios out into all the dungeons, they compressed them so as to give the dungeons more concrete thematic elements.
But yeah it was sad when it was over, and they Could have very well used the
in later temples, particularly the last two, but they didn't. And that's probably part of the reason why TP hasn't been widely rated as perfect. There are a lot of little nitpicks that add up.
I guess we can only hope it
has a chance of returning in later Zelda games with even better effects. Because in my opinion that was the best of all the new items. The Spinner is just a Tony Hawk Hack.

Anyway wasn't the Temple of Time just the most awesome dungeon, regardless of how ephemeral its pleasures were? I actually had a hell of a time playing puppet master to a thing thrice Link's size and laying the smackdown on all those lizzos and pimple spiders.
