Current Events > Playing Zelda LttP for the first time ever. And on Wii VC no less!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Got it from the wii e shop back in the day. Finally got around to it.

Just beat level 4.

I'm finally starting to get what people have been saying about this game all these years.
Wow. Amazing game. Truly.
And I've only cheated(looking something up) once. I've found most everything exploring and figuring stuff out. Very cool.
I've previously recently beat Zelda NES.
Back in the day I played thi shit out of OoT and WW.
Still haven't got around to the newer lore/games

It's remained my favorite game of all time since I played it and nothing has dethroned it.

First time thru it's cool to do the dungeons in the numbered/suggested order everyone should have to figure out the Ice Palace the "hard way", but on replays I always do them out of order.

I got the red sword and shield.

Now I'm super bad ass. Charge run is death now. Awesome.

This game is a trip. Revolutionary.

Oh forgot to mention I played Zalda SS on Wii last year.
LOVED IT. Although it does have flaws...

I loved how you could finally shoot death energy out if your sword again in SS.

I'm curious what optional items you already got.

Some are pretty easy to find, some are a bit more tricky.

? Optional

So far:
Bow, boomerang, hookshot, magic powder
Fire rod, ice rod, bombos, ether
Lamp, magic hammer, flute, net, book of mudora
3 bottles, cane of byrna, magic mirror
Speed boots, gold power glove, flippers, orb thingy
Red sword/sword level 3 (I took him through the mirror portal!), red shield( f u zoras or creatures or whatever you are! Haha)
13 hearts
I'm going to go to level 5 soon but I got a thing or 2 to check out first.

*salutes*

Oh and I think I maxed out my arrow and bomb capacity from island girl(beach boys song)

He means you dont necessarily need them to beat the game.

You got the cane of byrna before the magic cape? That sounds like literal pain.

Also, how did you get the red shield? But yeah, seems like you got most of the optional stuff already.

Oh and I used the magic powder on the bowl of blood in the underground cave. Got a demon bat or something to double my magic capacity.
I purchased the red shield for like 600 I think?
North on map and west of the mountain. Dark world shop I think?
The cane wasnt too hard to get. Just go south and east in dark world from top of mountain. Somewhere around there.

Yeah, this is also a nice extra and you will bless the day you found this.

I was suspecting that.

Yeah, I think you just need the golden gloves and enough HP / potions. Maybe my memory is a bit more dramatic about the damage you get there.

And yes, I'm also one of the guys who can't praise Lttp enough. It did so much for the Zelda series that is even used today, especially the OST and some lore including the Master Sword itself.

Cane of Byrna! Level 5 b3. Wasted most demon penguins with fire rod magic. Cornered the final one with cane and slaughtered it in epic fashion!

I heard there is some differences between verions. I have the snes cart but I'm playing on wii with classic controller.
Word on the street is there may be differences in the game between original, Nintendo e shop, and gba versions.

I dunno 100 percent on all that stuff though.

I don't think there's any real differences between the original and Virtual Console versions as far as I know. GBA version is definitely different though.

I highly recommend trying the randomizer at some point in the future. It's a great way to breathe some new life into the game.

Friggin mothra battle! I barely defeated it!

That was great.

That demon bat thing is weird. I'm assuming its dialogue was mistranslated.

Anyway, awesome game.

So that would be kinds like the 2nd quest in Zelda NES?

VC: All flashing effects (such as those on the title screen, or caused by Agahnim's lightning attack) were toned down severely as part of Nintendo's newer policies in order to lower the risk of epileptic seizures.

I intend on playing it but I want to start with the original first.

There's actually several Super Nintendo games I own, but have not fully played, because their series starts on the NES and I dont have one yet. Metroid, Zelda, Megaman, Mother, FF.

Its a good game

This explains why they never put f zero gx online play

The first Zelda is great and still holds up i say.

The Final Fantasies are separate games, so they can be played out of order.
Mother... everybody played Earthbound on Snes without knowing about the first Mother back in the days.
Mega Man... the X series is a spinoff set in the future, well playable without the classic series.

Its not really about "story" per se, more about the evolution of the gameplay.

It's so cool seeing all this stuff I did in 3d zeldas done here for the first time.

Ok. Made some progress last night.

Maybe it's the medicinal prescribed stuff I took but damn that was a trip and a bit spooky.
These zelda games have always had some horror elements

Honestly I think on my first few playthroughs I too just tanked the spikes with high hearts and potions; I didn't learn that the Magic Cape protected you from spikes until much later.

I got the blue tunic and yellow hat

Did you at least save and quit once you got it then restart, to avoid walking back thru the spikes?
I've seen a pretty sad number of people play it the first time and actually go back thru it again...

I mean, you can just use the Staff itself to exit the cave without damage, right? I guess I couldn't say for 100% certainty since it's been so long since I got it without the Magic Cape, but it'd be a pretty weird proviso if the Staff of Byrna protected you from all damage except spikes.

I honestly can't remember exactly how I got through.
It might have been the staff. I remember using it at first. I might have had the magic upgrade from vampire bat.

That thing just bathes in and drinks blood on the creepy bowl with hands statue

It uses magic. I guess if you face-tanked the spikes then you have the magic meter to use it, though.
I'm so used to using the cape on the way in.

I don't know if it works in such a tiny cave like that of the Byrna cave, but the mirror allows you to teleport back to the entrance within a dungeon.

I probably should try this out next time.

1/2 mana cost is great.

Yeah. I couldn't imagine going forward without it.

I mean I could I guess. You'd have to play like classic resident evil and really conserve
