What other Zelda game has scenes like this?
I can't believe we went 5 years without any Nintendo Zelda games.

Then we had to do it again between Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword
20 years after its release, on the last dungeon and about to beat the game, and I get the game spoiled. Nice...So the wind fish is is the dreamer, and Link is populating Koholint with his subconscious (LA characters being based on ALTTP characters)?
Edit: Holy shit, and the dream dungeon is then a dream within a dream.

My fault for reading this thread, I guess, but I didn't expect people to discuss it openly.
Well, 2nd to last. I'd assumed that Link was dreaming everything, but didn't know what the Wind Fish represented exactly. Anyway, doesn't really matter.If you're on the last dungeon, how do you not know this already?

Explain? Maybe I skipped through the text there.You find this stuff out before the sixth dungeon.
Ah-yup.I'm old.

Doesn't that just mean you can buy the bow sooner since you wouldn't have to wait until you got 999 rupees? ie, After reaching 300 rupees, you'd be able to buy it (assuming it's in the shop, which I think is triggered by buying the shovel?).Oh, and just for the record, I'm throwing my gauntlet down for the original version. Color may be all nice and dandy, but nothing will ever come close to playing this game in its original green-gray beauty.
Also, boy what a neat ending and general theme. So sad. Love that they went and included a certain small addition that took a bit of the sting out of the ending... if you played well enough. You know which one. (Also one of the reason why the color version is worse, IIRC it's easier to get that ending... boooh.)
Who else was crazy enough to get the bow before entering the first dungeon? I always did.
Confession: I didn't understand how to get the Yoshi puppet at first. It never occurred to me to do the obvious, I thought it was some sort of grand prize on display, to be won after cleaning out everything else/spending a certain amount of rupees/etc pp. Boy did I ever try many things to get that damn puppet.
Hint for new players: The shop owner will substract rupees from your wallet rather slowly, so you can save a bunch if you mash buttons to end the dialogue directly after a big purchase when your rupee counter is decreasing and then save quickly while it's still high. IIRC this allows you to purchase the bow for around 2-300 rupees (i.e. 999->699). What you would spend the bonus rupees on I have no idea, but it's neat anyway.

20th anniversary? Perfect excuse for me to finally get this from the eshop and finish it at last. I remember really enjoying it as a kid, but I got stuck on the Face Shrine. Was there another entrance to that dungeon? To this day, I'm still not sure what had me baffled so much about that one particular dungeon. But I was so confused I just didn't finish it, which was a shame.
There's the Face Shrine where you get the dungeon key, and north of that is the Face SHrine dungeon. Only one entrance to the dungeon itself. But it's a confusing dungeon that a lot of people have trouble with.
I love this game so much I used it as my phone wallpaper. I have so many fond memories of it. It the first game I've ever finished. I used to play it on my big brother's Game Boy. Plus the soundtrack is lovely.
Oh yeah. Not complaining at all. I actually skimmed through his post initially and thought there was more to it (eg, forgot that I'd already made it to the Dream Dungeon), but I pretty much knew/suspected everything he'd said.Yeah well.. you are entering a thread about a 20 year old game. That's the gamble you take. Still great experience nonetheless.
