Re: Video games
Water temple the ocarinia of time- I can remeber when my brother first got the game he took 3 months to find this key in the water temple. He told me where it was so it didn't take me long. My favourite temple was the spirt temple, it was the most interesting.

Re: Video games
I know this may sound ridiculous, but in four days, I beat Zelda: Spirit Tracks. For those that have played Phantom Hourglass, the game is essentially identical in terms of graphics and gameplay. There are only three similar items (boomerang, bow/arrow, and bombs) but there are also three unique items. I strongly recommend having a drink nearby when you play because you will use your breath frequently to blow into the DS' mic.
The temple set up is very similar. There are five temples along with a sixth 'super temple' that you keep revisiting. The bosses are also similar in thier game play, but they are more enjoyable this time around. The four parts to the final showdown is a blast, and I won't spoil it. But overall, the one thing that Spirit Tracks has over Phantom Hourglass is its soundtrack. PH has a lot of reused tunes, whereas ST has fun and unique tunes to each temple and boss. For fans of PH, ST is a must get. If you didn't like PH (in terms of graphics, gameplay, use of the stylus, etc) ST might not be worthwhile. I really enjoyed it and it is already up at the top of my portable Zelda Title list.
Next up is Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. But I will wait until I actually get on the road Friday evening to start that (or I will do nothing else besides that between now and then).
IloveFauns, have you tried Master Quest? You might not like the Spirit Temple as much after you do that. It is the most difficult Temple in the entire series IMO.

Re: Video games
Better blowing into the mic than actually speaking into it.
On the Spirit Temple of OoT, yes, it was my favorite too. The puzzles were my favorite to solve (with the Mirror Shield) and the musical tunes were the best of all the temples. Plus the boss, Twinrova was my favorite as well to play.

Re: Video games
The adult link temples were better then the kid link ones. shadow temple was my 2nd favourite. Couldn't you do the spirt and shadow in any order you want?. also their was that secret leavel where you could get the ice arrows.

Re: Video games
I never tried to do the Spirit Temple before the Shadow Temple, but I think you need the Hover Boots to get across the desert. And like you, I also liked the Adult Link temples better than Kid Link temples. Part of it was the quality of items. As for the Ice Arrows, yeah, there was like a hidden temple, but I was able to get it.

Re: Video games
I am getting zelda spirit tracks for my birthday and i ahve been researching it to find out the storyline extra.
The storyline doe(their is one spoiler in this so thats why i had to put it in a spoiler box
Spirit Tracks takes place 100 years after the events of Phantom Hourglass. Apparently in the land that's now called Hyrule, the inhabitants had to deal with a vicious Demon King. In the timespan between the two games there was an epic battle and the spirits of the land helped take down this evil being. Though they couldn't kill the beast, they could muster just enough strength and energy to subdue him with chains and shackles and bury him underground. The shackles, extending the land of Hyrule in four different directions, became the Spirit Tracks, and the surrounding community used these tracks as transportation railways.
The game opens up with you, as Link – an apprentice railroad engineer – off to Princess Zelda's castle for a graduation ceremony where the honor of Royal Engineer will be bestowed onto you by the princess herself. As she rewards you for your service, she slips you a note, warning of the suspicious Chancellor Cole, and to take a hidden path and meet her in secret. She requests your help in investigating the mystery of the vanishing Spirit Tracks – she's restricted to her quarters, but needs your help sneaking out of the castle to figure out why the Spirit Tracks are mysteriously disappearing all over the land.
Zelda then presents you with a change of clothing – the familiar green garb – which will help you blend in and trick the guards."
I am really excited about this game. I have just finished replaying the phantom hour glass.

Re: Video games
I gotta jump on here and say real fast that if you have a Wii and 600 Wii Points to spare, Bit.Trip Beat is AWESOME!!!!! lol It's sort of a throw-back to Pong, but with really fun music. There is a demo available you can download so if you hate it, you won't waste your Wii Points.

Re: Video games
Have you beaten it yet? There were certain parts to each game that were better than the other. PH has the advantage of being unique in gameplay, that ST lacks. The bosses are very similar in terms of style, but the one thing that makes me give ST the thumbs up is the soundtrack. PH has some good tracks, but ST has more tunes I like than PH does. Overall, they are pretty close to each other and stand up for being the best handheld Zelda games. They still won't beat OoT or WW or TP.

Now you see what I mean by needing to use the mic a lot? I admit playing it is quite annoying, but the musical results are pretty sweet.

Re: Video games
Its been quite a while since I´ve been on NW!! Gosh, college really absorbed me... >.< Hi everyone, if you remeber me, I missed you!
Btw, I already played Spirit Tracks... I loved it. I was laughing a lot with it, and playing as Zelda was very unique. My only criticsm to the game are those horrible evil trains that torture you and that the graphics on the overworld look terrible, especially the snow world...
