Kirie Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hah, I remember when my husband was replaying/100%ing GC TP a few months ago and he kept going back to find treasure chests that contained rupees that he couldn't carry because his wallet was full. He ended up just wearing the Magic Armor whenever he came across a rupee chest just to make sure he wouldn't miss anything. :P For me, over the long holiday break, I completed the Goron Mines and made it up to Lake Hylia. Castle Town kind of annoyingly messes with my head because I can't orient myself properly, but I'll get used to it again eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Isn't it great when the default wallet holds 9999 rupees Like in PH or ST We need more wallets like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Yeah, especially because I fail at the Cave of Shadows, apparently... I unlocked the third challenge, but couldn't complete it. Even with two heals via my Wolf Link and Zelda Amiibo. -_- That Colossal Wallet would be handy for the Cave of Ordeals because Magic Armor. Oh, I also cleared the Twilight Palace, though. Man I'll never not be weirded out by Zant's crazy weirdness.

Dai Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 It amazes me just how much shit you can get as early as possible. I mean, I had almost all of the bugs by like, before the Lakebed Temple, which I didn't think could be done, I had a ton of pieces of heart (only missed one so far, and that's in the Sacred Grove as Wolf Link), I found like, 29 poes before heading off to the Desert, so pretty much RIGHT AFTER I unlocked the ability to obtain them...man, it's just crazy. Hell, I didn't even know you could get every single bomb bag AND the upgrade pretty much all at once once you get bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 What? You couldn't have had most of the bugs before the Lakebed Temple. That's impossible. Several bugs require the Clawshot to reach and four of them are in areas you can't access yet (Gerudo Desert and the Sacred Grove/Temple of Time). Still, I do agree that you can get a lot of stuff kind of early in this game regardless. Kinda crazy, yeah. I haven't yet gone to Hyrule Castle. I want to find the rest of the stamps first. I have like 38 or something like that. I did take a peek at a TP HD guide at Walmart, but obviously I'm not going to memorize even that whole list of stamps. XD I would've just bought it, but I was already spending a lot of money on other stuff, mostly necessities, so I passed up on it for now. I'll get it eventually, as it wouldn't hurt to replace my old Wii TP guide (and I like collecting strategy guides). For now, I'll just look at an online guide if one exists. I'm not really sure where to look for the remaining stamps right now other than Hyrule Castle itself. xP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I am not counting the Sacred Grove, nor the Gerudo desert, since I couldn't access them. However, I do consider twenty out of twenty-four to be "most". I had twenty bugs before the Lakebed Temple using the boomerang for those that I supposedly "needed" the clawshot for.

Anacybele Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Oh. I didn't know the boomerang could be used to get them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I figured, since both clawshot and boomerang worked on rupees, it'd work out. The targeting reticle changes when you pass over an insect, much like the clawshot does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I think the HD version would definitely fix the darkness of the game, and the gritty textures that the Gamecube ran in. I thought that the entire point of the game was to be dark and gritty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samias Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Oh. I didn't know the boomerang could be used to get them... The only downside is that the boomerang can blow the bugs fairly far away from Link, and of course it is a little finicky to pick them up instead of roll. Whereas the clawshot tends to place the bug right in front of Link with a much shorter window for them to flutter away. And like Dai, I had nearly all the bugs by Lakebed except the ones in the Sacred Grove and Gerudo Desert. They always come in pairs so when you hear one, there's always going to be another close by. And generally speaking there's only 1 pair per map. They did design the bugs to be found fairly early as they lock wallet upgrades behind them, whereas the poes are the more involved hunt since there's just so many of them.

Dai Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) I never really had a problem with the bugs being blown off from me whilst using the boomerang. I got them all though...for some reason, I thought the Giant Wallet was 5,000 rupees, not 2,000. That's still double the original game, but still. XD At least there's the colossal wallet to look forward to, though it kind of sucks that I have to wait until after the Twilight Realm. That's just a bit silly.Man, it's a good thing I decided to wait a bit before going ahead and just going crazy with stamp-collecting. There's just so many, it's hard to believe how easy it is to pass them up...and I never would have imagined the game had all of these grottos.

Zera Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Twilight Princesss has a TON of hidden caves, perhaps more than any other Zelda game. Some of them are quite lengthy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 I've only found two lengthy caves... One in Lake Hylia and one in the area south of Kakariko. I don't count the icy cave in the north field as lengthy. xP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Was Shad supposed to mark my map? He said he did, but didn't.Edit: Oh...I see them, now. They're flags instead of red circles. Edited April 5, 2016 by Dai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yeah, TP HD has flags for objective map markers instead of circles like the original game had. The HD map also shows you a few other things that the original game didn't, namely horsegrass locations and game/attraction/collector locations. Collectors as in Agitha for the bugs and Jovani for the Poe souls. Then it also shows the place you last saved at (marked by a white double circle). The original game's map didn't show any of these things from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirie Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Ohhhhh... so THAT's what those double circle things mean. Both hubby and I were trying to figure it out and had no clue. I guess I don't save frequently enough for me to have made the connection. I also really appreciate the horse grass markers. I already find myself using Epona more than I did previously.

Anacybele Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 It took me a little time to figure it out myself lol. I guess I save more often than you. XD And yeah, I'm using Epona more too now that I'm not spending a bunch of time trying to find horsegrass and wishing I got the horse call earlier.

Dai Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Gotta admit, it's nice that they give you some orange rupees when you find those owl statues. I abused the magic armor for kicks, seeing as I'm going to have all sixty poes soon enough. XDEdit: Just found out that you don't need to talk to Midna to warp, either. Just go to your map and turn on the portals.Dang, with all these streamlines, speedrunners are going to have a field day with this game.

Lemme boot it up and check... edit2: Unfounded doubts. ...Also, I was running around ingame for 15 or so seconds while holding the disc in my hands. Er, one hand. Usually it's about 3 seconds before "please insert the disc". I'm freaked out. Edited April 6, 2016 by Tsamimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Wierd. =\ I never knew that. Didn't think to try it, I guess.Also, sorely disappointed. Thought Gengle gave you a Silver Rupee every single time you talked to him. He only gives it to you if you run out. What the hell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) It'd be kinda broken if there was an unlimited source of Rupees Not that you'd need it, the only games where rupees are kinda useful are ST, ALBW, TFH and the original GCN version of TWW. Okay maybe I should rephrase, these are the games where rupees are needed most (ST = train upgrades, ALBW = RAVIO, TFH = Store guy and Madame Couture, TWW GCN = Tingle's hefty fees that you must pay five more times than on Wii).

Zera Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Actually, it costs 980. Or, you can pay your dignity for it and become a THIEF! Don't try this IRL.

Fun fact: In Link to the Past, you only need 710 rupees in order to beat the game without glitches. 500 to buy the Flippers, 10+100 to get Kiki the monkey to open the Dark Palace for you, and 100 to buy the Big Bomb for the Fairy Fountain in the Pyramid. Everything else is not required or can be gotten through different ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
