I thought the same thing too.


And then I realized how pathetically easy Zelda has become to make me think such a thing.

Goblins are hard in SS. They change blocking positions faster than your Wii registers your wiimote.

I almost died on that battle too. It was more because I wasn't used to the controls yet though

I was a little shocked when I saw we start with 6 hearts. Why? Do they honestly think we're THAT bad at games? >_>

Their target audience is in elementary school. When will people understand this?

SS was tough to get the hang of so six hearts was necessary.

you get twice as much damage than before, so 6 hearts = 3 hearts

it's literally the same

But their marketing campaign features Robin Williams.

Do kids these days even know who that is?

It's more of a balancing feature

Having gotten 3 heart containers means a lot less when that's just 50% more life than 100%. Also, it makes sure you don't completely out-scale things too fast. Never having 3 hearts means you never have to deal with s*** like quarter hearts since that's never necessary in any way.

Probably not, but advertising executives probably think they do.

If they block vertically, don't swing vertically, swing horizontally from their unguarded side.

Yeahh, I will admit that the vulnerabilities are often a bit too fast for me. It really ends up being luck with those Quadbaba things since I can rarely swing the controller before they change, let alone adjust if I'm prepared to swing the wrong direction.

Have you practiced stabbing with the sword? If not, I would suggest doing so.

man i didn't get hit at all there. even if you get blocked, the enemies take really long to punish you for it. more than enough time to get out of the way or interrupt if they start swinging.

Goblins are hard in SS. They change blocking positions faster than your Wii registers your wiimote.

I think everyone ends up with their own method for killing these guys, but personally, I hold the Wiimote up, then swing horizontally.

Also with the lesser goblins, if you can start a swing on them when they start their attack animation, you will hit them. Doesnt work for the tougher enemies in the game though, so I really suggest you rely on this as little as possible.

I just shield bash the bokoblins when they attack. Opens up their guard and you can usually at least knock them down for a finishing blow.

If there's a bunch it gets kinda difficult, though.
