last one purged

i've been looking for the 5 pieces of the key outside the second temple (fire temple i guess) for like an hour and only have 2

why is there a room that slowly kills you when you're inside it

i need to go down the slide multiple times to hit every platform, but it literally costs like 2 hearts every time i go down it

dowsing sucks

wtf

Only need two runs to get the keys if you know where to go I believe. Maybe even less! And if you sprint across the volcano room does it even hurt you in the time you're in there?

And I gotta say, dowsing is lame, but it does make the fetch quests a little better imo when I don't have to look under every rock in every place when I want to find that last thing again.

Well, you should be able to get plenty of hearts so you should never worry about running out of those.

But it can be annoying to find the stuff, and you need some timing to get one of them IIRC.

If you want to make it even more challenging (though it doesn't seem like you do), you can go without dowsing. I'm pretty sure it's 100% optional throughout the game. I don't think anyone does that part super quickly, but an hour is a longer than usual.

I can't remember where the actual keys are.

But if you go behind the hut, does it still point you into the hut?

Triangulate that ****

i'm not sure if it has actually been an hour

and i found the one that dowsing was leading me into the hut for

it was halfway down the slide before the temple, behind some rocks

i didn't even realize any would be down there

thanks dowsing, for not helping at all

Yeah, dowsing will often aim at far off stuff through walls to troll you.

Basically, if you want to make it easy, aim it so it's "in line" (aiming in the right direction, if you move it off slightly and arrow will tell you to point it back), then pull up your map, and make a mental line straight forward from where you are looking. Then move like 20 yards left or right, lock on your dowsing again, pull up map again, and figure out what is in a line with where you're looking now. Where your mental lines cross is where you'll find your target.

I found that useful at least, because I didn't have to dick around thinking it was right near me when it was clearly going to be on the other side of a mountain or something.

The lizards are easy with the right strategy. ALWAYS swing at their side that doesn't have their big shielded arm. This will make them dodge instead of block and counterattack. Usually after they dodge, they'll do their taunt. When they taunt, take a second to see which side they are leaving unprotected and attack it.

most of the difficulty comes from the stupid motion controls not doing what i tell them to do

every time i try to aim the beetle links spazzes out and aim at the bottom corner and spins in circles

every time i try to slash from the right side i do a frontflip or something

i catch roughly 1% of the bugs i go after

why are the controls so bad

For this one you need to have the net closer to the ground if they are there, and for all bugs walk towards them slowly.

Dunno what to tell ya, I thought the motion controls were great for the most part (especially combat). For what it's worth, I sat directly behind my TV and pretty close to it (less than five feet away). Sometimes Link will spaz out with aiming controls, but you just need to recalibrate.

when i'm calibrating at the beginning, should i have the remote upside down when laying it on a flat surface (as in having the battery cover facing up?

and when they ask me to point at the center of the screen and hit A, should i be pointing at the middle of the screen (as in the cursor is way off to the right or something, but i'm pointing at the middle), or should i be lining the cursor up in the middle regardless of where i'm actually pointing

When the game asks you to hold the remote on a flat surface, don't do it. Just hold it stably as you would in the default position when playing. I always rest my hands on my lap when playing, so I just hold it that way. Maybe that'll help?

I had terrible problems with the wiimote until I totally ignored the instructions and just held the wiimote in my hand as if I were in a stationary playing position.

Flat surface is a giant troll.

how about the center of the screen thing? should i point at what i think the center of the screen is (regardless of where the cursor is) or line up the cursor in the exact middle?

The check at the start where it asks you to point at the center is pretty useless. I just get the cursor on the center and press A. When you're actually playing and things feel off, just enter your item menu and press down to recalibrate (this can also be done while aiming with anything).

with the 6 heart start, fairies lose their viability very early.

Just buy red pots(Which are insanely cheap). Personally, I always carried a red pot and a fairy early, the fairy being there in case I just totally forget to pop the pot.
