When you get all of them it's extremely uneventful and unsatisfying.


It's so late in the game that the item you get is fucking useless.

[spoiler]wallet, correct?[/spoiler]
yeah i don't mind, I just want to get them.

[Daddy]

Yes.


It annoyed me because
[spoiler]By this point in the game you probably have all 5 bottles, the upgrades you need, and essentially nothing to buy.  There is no need to carry 9000 rupees.

Or really 9900 with all upgrades.  It may have been beneficial early in the game but by the time i got that I had already paid 1600 for the heart piece, all of the metals, upgrades, and whatnot from Beetle's shop at full price.  At that point I already had every shield, and carrying that much didn't really benefit me  [/spoiler]

[Hiro]

[spoiler]I have 3 bottles, everything but my quiver is completely upgraded, but yeah I agree
either way it's just a silly side bonus, it's not like you'd ever really get anything super useful from it[/spoiler]

[Nyerp]

most of everything in this game is useless

the wallets, the upgrades, the bottles, the medals, the heart pieces

the game doesn't provide the challenge or need for most of these

for the most part i agree but most zeldas are fairly easy

[Samus Aran]

yeah i wouldn't say any zelda really provides a challenge that requires you to find more than a few heart pieces, especially not the 3d ones

anyway, i finally get to start playing this again tonight

I just started playing this. I spent about 30 minutes adjusting my TV because the graphics looked like SHIT, and I thought it was the tv (I was playing on a hotel tv) but it was just the graphics of the game...which I'm getting used to now. Bout to order some composite cables to see if that helps.
Also I've been spoiled by skyrims graphics.

You probably mean component, not composite, right? Composite is what Wii includes and it only outputs interlaced and blurred 480i, while component with Wii gives you... about as good as you can get with a small 720x480 frame. Any better screenshots of Wii games you might see are from emulators.
It's still nowhere near the 1080p you might be used to.

[me003]

yes that's what I meant.

[Daddy]

That's because Nintendo is retarded and said "no one has HDTVs" back in 2006 which was a lie and lacked any foresight towards the fact that people would be buying one in the next few years.

We get stuck with shit graphics.

[me003]

The whole game looks like its on papyrus.

Question about Skyview Temple (the first temple in the deep woods):
[spoiler]once you get the treasure map there's two red X's that aren't reachable once you fill the rooms up with water. So will the water go back down at some point? Or should I start over? I saw the x in the east room and figured I needed a bomb, but didn't think I wouldn't be able to get back to it. [/spoiler]

[Travis]

[spoiler]what the fuck why is there a fucking unreachable drop thing in the second trial[/spoiler]

hahaha, I don't know the answer to your question, but it sounds like you figured it out.
