Both those figurine quests were a pain to get through. In TWW you could only make 3 statues at a time and then wave the wind waker around to advance to the next day, so that the guy could make more. I actually got all figurines, don't know how I got the patience to go through with it. Maybe I'll pop in TWW again sometime to look at mah figurines (and only that). I thought about WW today and decided that it's probably the only Zelda game that I wouldn't replay under free will.
Minish Cap's figurine dealy was not much better, with all the text windows you had to plow through and the fact that you had to walk to the machine every time. Didn't fully complete that one, my patience is weakening as I get older.

When exploration and completion doesn't involve irritation or tedium, I'll gladly get 100%. Take Okami for example, just finished that game with every friggin' stray bead and almost 7000 praise.

Minish Cap was MUUUUUUUUCH easier, as respects the figurine sidequest, anyway. And you didn't have to walk back to the machine, IIRC.

Yes you did, in the European version at least. I know of this difference, read it in a MC thread here somewhere. Even in the smallest details we get shafted.

 

[Mejilan]

Oh, the Euro version was a buggy piece of shit with a crappier translation. Yeah, you guys got your edition a few week early, but man did you get the shaft. Sorry to hear it.

I don't think you could even max out your bombs! :lol

No 99 bombs? Heresy It's funny that we get screwed either way: when we get something early for once, some features aren't optimised, and if we get it months later, features are left out (take that DMC3 turbo mode in the SE for instance).

Minish Cap pissed me off with that Goron bottle glitch. I never have replayed it to get the last bottle. :/

That was the NA version, btw.

 

[Mejilan]

Completionist. I ALMOST imported it in order to get my Zelda on early. I'm so happy I didn't. It would have destroyed me. As a person.

Does anyone have the map that came in the original booklet? I remember it had a wierd little dot printed on a tree that always bothered me.


Edit. nm.

Look two squares above the blue candle on the lower right. If you have the actual booklet you can see a mushroom shaped mark printed over the tree in the lower rightmost corner. It always bothered me what that meant.

 

[blahness]

Oh yea, trust me...that map was essential. It has a lot of really secret stuff, that you wouldn't know about, unless u wipped out the blue candle and started randomly burning bushes every screen.

you just described many hours of my youth... i think i have burned every bush in the game, tried to move every rock, and bombed every wall of every dungeon and rock face in the game

The Legend of Zelda=best NES game ever.

Seriously, I thought everyone did this.

 

[Mejilan]

I know I did.

this was like my version of the diary from "the last crusade" as a kid.
a giant tome of nintendo secrets waiting to be uncovered.
i found a mint copy at a yard sale for a buck last year.
