How do you find them so quickly without a guide? I tried to find as many as I could while naturally playing through the game, but once I neared the end, I referred to guides to 100% the game before the final stretch. I needed to do that for around four Pieces of Heart and a few Gratitude Crystal sidequests.

Pumpkin Arrows

I really like that a few of the bosses had alternate ways of beating them

Did you find out that you can defeat the Imprisoned in seconds by simply jumping down on his head from the ledge above him and smacking down the sealing spike?

This game really nailed bosses. Zelda bosses have always been epic, but in most of the games they fail to be anything but completely formulaic. Use dungeon's item, boss is stunned, hit with sword. Repeat.

Skyward Sword completely changed that. Almost every boss can be beaten in alternate ways if you think outside the box.

*SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS*



I'll find out tomorrow, but I'm really wondering if Link will end up getting the complete Trying Forks in this game. It would only be the 3rd time I think in series history that it would have happened. Only Zelda 2 and LttP does he get all 3 triangles. Only 2 of them were in Zelda 1 and Wind Waker he's only collecting pieces of Courage and none of the others.

I am one heart piece and 5 gratitude crystals short of completion. No idea where the heart piece is. Thought it was going to be in Thrill Digger but I guess not. No idea about the crystals either.

When I'm in the Faron main area my dowsing ability shows there's a cube toward the Cistern entrance waterfall area, but when I go there it shows it's in the main area. Get it together, Fi.

I got two cubes really late in Faron. One in the area near the Cistern which was on top of the entrance to the water dragon's place and the other on top of the skyview temple, I think you need the clawshot to get both of them so those might be the ones you still need.

MINI SPOILERS


The Cube on top of Skyview was one of the last I picked up. I ended the game with 26 Cubes which I thought kinda made sense for a final number (26 Cubes + 24 Hearts = a nice round 50). However, I've heard that there are 27 total Cubes. Does anyone know the actual number? 27 is a really weird number, plus I wasn't picking up a dousing signal anywhere after #26.

Groose over Ganondorf for Smash Bros. 4 - make it happen Nintendo.

Skyward Sword actually had a pretty good cast of characters. It absolutely has the best collection of "side quest NPCs" since Majora's Mask, Link and Zelda are arguably the best they've ever been, Ghirahim is a great villain, and GROOSE.

Does Ghirahim get better?

I have a hard time really getting into him because his costume design is atrocious and he hasn't done anything as of the start of the Deku Temple. I mean, I guess he's pretty clever and different as far as Zelda bosses go, but he hasn't done diddly to make me think "Wow, this dude is evil."

GHIRAHIM SPOILERS


Ghirahim is probably the least "evil" of console Zelda villains, and certainly the least destructive. You don't really see any effects of his evil as you did with past Zelda villains (Ganondorf ruling Hyrule for seven years, Skull Kid bringing the moon down, Zant's Twilight realms). He's all about the attitude and character design, which I love. He's the antithesis of Ganondorf. He has very effeminate characteristics (look at the way he walks during the first boss fight), extreme vanity, and a hair trigger temper. It's a very intriguing combination, and he always commanded the screen when he did show up. He just "worked" for me.

If you don't like him now, though, you probably never will.

Just finished Fire Sanctuary...

In truth I'm a little disappointed. Fire Sanctuary really wasn't that good, the mogma mitts are pretty crappy and there was already a fire dungeon beforehand which while much shorter, managed to be better as well. Why on earth they chose to save this for last before the final dungeon is beyond me. Also, the sand ship wasn't nearly as good as everyone was hyping it up to be. Really way too straightforward. I'll admit that everything before sandship was absolutely amazing though. Best non-dungeon part of the game so far! Lanayru seems to have the best non-dungeon parts.

Lanayru Mining Facility and Ancient Cistern are two of the best dungeons in the series though. So good. A little disappointing if the game already peaked.

Ranking so far:

3 > 4 > 2 > 5 > 1 > 6

Maybe. Reggie said there's more Wii games coming, to be announced this month or next. And honestly, the Rainfall trilogy seems like an insanely easy way to do that, especially since two of them are already slated for next year in Europe. I mean, other than those (and Mario Party 9), could they really release anything big with all the effort going towards the 3DS and WiiU? Maybe DKCR2 or something, but other than that... Gotta be the Rainfall games.

So I'm fairly hopeful, but if there's nothing after January don't hold your breath.
