That you need to warp over to Mother and child isles to get the ice and fire arrow, which is needed to continue the story?

The tips given by the boat was something like Look for pirates that roam the sea -or something


I checked out almost every island looking for pirates. I almost got angry when i found out i needed to warp to an Island i could sail to, just to get underneath it, because i had to read a guide to get there.

So my question is: Are there any hints given in the game that i have missed? About using the Ballad of the gales to transport you to this special place?

Yep, fishmen.

You see that there volcano that's spewing out lava like there's no tomorrow? Yeah, well, they say there's a great treasure hidden inside that thing. The thing is, everyone who's ever tried to get inside has just been blasted away by the great balls of fire that come shooting off the top. If you want to get inside, you ought to find the island that's one square north and four squares west of here. That's where the power to freeze anything is hidden.


There's this amazing treasure inside that freezing ring of ice over there. But even if you wanted it and tried to get inside you'd just be frozen solid as soon as you approached the shore. But...if you go four squares north and three squares west, you'll find the power to melt any ice--no matter how cold! Search for it, small fry!


They say that inside the ring of rock that makes up the perimeter of that island, there lives an incredibly beautiful fairy! But the thing is, nobody's ever met her. Supposedly, the only way you'll ever meet her is to take a ride on a whirlwind and drop inside that rock perimeter from the sky above. Doesn't sound easy, fry...

How are you supposed to know anything in any Zelda game?

They're all way too open ended and full of cryptic bullshit.

I have a hard time recalling the last time there was something overly cryptic in a Zelda game


maybe some of the side quests in Majora's Mask?

the last several games can easily be fully completed without outsider help

I don't find talking to people in games fun. I like playing the fucking game. And when the game is boring as fuck like all Zeldas are, I don't want to play it.

I know the answer is "Well don't", but it just is mindboggling how people think it's fun to play shit like that...

The only thing that's too obtuse for "try everything" is passthrough-walls. The game tries hard to hint at it, but there's no real way to impart the idea of pressing against the wall for about a second. Especially so when the only one in the 1st quest is implemented as walking on top of the background tiles.

Platformers like Mario, Mega Man, Castlevania, Crash Bandicoot, and Ratchet and Clank

Fighting games like Super Smash Bros. and Tekken

Racing games like SSX and F-Zero

Puzzle games like Dr. Mario and Bomberman

some old wrestling games like Smackdown

You know, fun shit.

Oh you're right. I should talk to villagers and then figure out I need to rub my left nut on a statue's right eye 3 times while hopping on one foot to open the next door.

WW was the most open world game until BotW came around. Once you get bombs after beating the 2nd dungeon you can pretty much go anywhere.

Still kinda restricted because you need items you can only get later to do all the things on the island, but I pretty much fill my map out completely and the fishmen often give you good advice on top of it.
