Wizzro is ranged so so hopefully Omega Force has learned how to make range movesets that aren't either broken or trash garbage.

Really enjoying this game a lot more than I thought I would, but if the next Zelda game's voice acting consists exclusively of Japanese girls awkwardly breathing air into a mic like this game, I might have a loving rage stroke. Lana is tons of fun to play as, but I want to mute my TV every time she shows up in a cutscene.

When the 1.3 update drops you'll be able to turn off the boss entrance animations under options. I like them for the most part, but I'll probably end up temporarily turning them off when I get stuck on an adventure mode stage.

At least we already have a "skip cutscene" feature.

Is there some reason Nintendo won't do voice acting, because this is kinda the game that really suffers from not having it.

I don't get why they didn't do what they did for Midna in Twilight Princess, where she had voice acting but it was just backwards Japanese to represent it being Hylian or whatever.

I think Zelda should have voice acting, but of the Ico/Shadow of the Colossus/Midna/Animal Crossing sort. I feel it adds a lot to the game without having to deal with the issues of line delivery beyond the most basic emotional delivery of gibberish.

I've got no clue, but that maps a dead end so completing it unlocks nothing. So you can just wait until another map with a power bracelet opens.

I've had a similar problem on a different map, the only difference is my locked one needs to be beat to unlock the map which has Agitha. Which is rather annoying.

It took me something like 15 attempts and I gained 20 levels (each time the issue was damage, not KOs or time, except one time I got KOs and damage but cleared it in 15:02)

I'm on that one now but the gauntlet is so ridiculously slow that I can't really avoid being hit!

Does anyone know which map square is Sheik's level 3 harp? I know you can go over them and see who it is, but when it's darkened out it's really hard to tell which one is Sheik. Plus what is it that the goddess harp does to butterflies? So you get a stone - what does that do? I'm sure the manual says it somewhere but I really cannot find it!

Using a harp reveals enemies on that square. If you tried to access the stage without using the harp, there'd be no enemies and thus no stage.

Also Shiek's L3 weapon is 2nd row, 2nd to last column.

I've been having trouble reaching Agitha too. It seems like every map square leading to her is locked, and it's getting frustrating. :(

I've beaten the Twilight Princess and OoT missions. We're doing the Skyward Sword ones just to make some actual progress in something. I just want my pretty bug princess...

It's near the very top of the map. Good luck with that though.

I posted about this earlier - try switching the walking character to Ruto by entering another map as her and then quitting out. You can still play it as anyone if you just need the bracelet but I think it's a glitch where the game will only let Ruto enter.

I think that other map near Agitha may be similarly glitched but playing further in Legend mode fixed it (I didn't get in there until after unlocking Ganondorf. )

Yeah, I noticed the A rank reward was for a character I hadn't unlocked. So i'm guessing that once I unlock that character i'll be ok.

Nope that A rank reward is for one of the last two characters and you do not need them to play it.

Just looking at the adventure mode map constantly and discovering the secrets is filling me with nostalgia. I never did finish the 2nd quest of the original Zelda. I think I'm going to go do that sometime soon.

I'm baffled by people loving Ganon - his special attacks are too slow and you can get hit during them which means I'm never going to get an "A" on a stage where I can only play as him.

Ganondorf is amazing for the sheer amount of mooks he can destroy quickly, which is great for taking keeps asap. You have free choice of combos there since lesser baddies will let you do whatever you want. When fighting tougher enemies, the only combo you're really going to want to use if they're not stunned is YX which is relatively quick and pops them into the air so you can keep beating on them. YYX also does extremely good weak point damage, but I find it difficult to use on the fly. There's also the option of letting them expose their weak point and throwing bombs, which is good to keep in mind no matter who you're playing. Personally I love the dorf; killing everything in your vicinity in one combo is p goddamned fantastic.

Good news, it's surrounded by really hard Ganon missions and needs A ranks to reach!

Why are stalfos or whatever the skyward sword darknuts such huge bastards? Early in the game I could clear them out but now late game they do that "get off me burst" every time I look at them. I once had one do it like 3 times in the row and I didn't even touch him, then he does his quick slash and the animation doesn't even have to finish before I take damage.

Surprisingly true. I manged to nab Shiek's level 3 at Lv31, whereas with someone like Agitha I needed at least Lv70.

My problem with taking keeps is half the time I get to one there's nobody in there. There's a couple dozen guys I kill immediately doing about 1/5 the keeps damage and then wait for more to respawn. It takes forever. Anyone else have the same problem?

Also does anyone know if chest opening cut scene time is counted against your time?

This is how it's supposed to work. A good tip is to lure more powerful enemies inside because killing them seems to take a bigger hit off the gauge. You can also make sure to bypass a bunch of mooks outside so they'll chase after you and you won't have to wait for respawns. But sometimes if you're going for an isolated keep you just have to accept that it's gonna take a bit of time to capture.

Here is some Ganon advice - wait for the Link to the past DLC, which will be in the season 2 dlc pack next year. He will have his Trident, and will be a lot better.

The season 2 dlc pack, which will be announced this time next year, also includes a Skyward Sword pack with Groose, a Wind Waker pack, and a handheld Zelda pack.
