Completed this game last night... I must say, it was a bit on the easy side... I think I had to stop and think like 3 times during the entire game :/

 

[sigmund58]

i fellas im in Lanrayu desert ive found the 3 generators but have no idea what to do next any help would be appreciated ive been running around for 2 hours cheers.

Spoiler

So you turned on the 3 generators (it should have put the symbols onto the hands of the main generator. You need to turn the main generator into a certain configuration to proceed. I don't remember what order it is, however if you take a look at your map, and the face of the generator, it will give you a huge hint. I hope this is what you are asking about, i might be confusing your situation!

You know, Im just gonna throw in a general hint here.
TALK TO FI! She basicly holds your hand throughout the entire game.

I thought it was on par with some of the other zelda games for difficulty. I was only stuck a few times but i still managed to complete the game in less then 30 hours. However i will say that this is the first zelda game that i haven't been able to check guides on. I tried a few times to come find info on the internet but nothing was available. So i completed the game with no outside help at all. The other zelda games, if i got stuck for a certain amount of time i would look it up.

Gossip Stone next to the training hall. A walkthrough within the game. Sadly the one thing I can't figure out isn't there..

In my opinion the puzzles are very easy, but the combat is slightly harder than in the other 3D Zeldas. I'm only 13 hours into the game (at the third dungeon) though.



Oh, and also a question:
How many dungeons does this game have? (Too lazy to read each post in this thread. )

I answered this before somewhere, dont remember where. Anyways there are 3 areas that you visit multiple times. And the way this game seemed sort of gave me the impression that they wanted to consider the entire world 1 big dungeon instead of several. But yea, you go back multiple times to complete different areas inside of each area. Sorry i am tired, i hope this makes sense.

I just need to confirm something for a friend so please answer this.
If you buy Motion+ and then play the game on an USB loader, does everything still work?

Spoiler

Forward jab your sword into the hole on the front of the generator, and then rotate your sword to the left or right (cant remember) and then press A to push the sword in to turn the generator on.

Ok, I'm stuck.... Again.

So I'm in that one temple-like place where the triforce is and I'm confused as hella s to how to set up the tiles. The only ones That work are to the right of the main room the forest one, to the north of that the timeshift one, but i can't get the corner piece in the corner above the timeshift one to make it work. A note though is that i can get into oNE of the triforce rooms, but I need a key. Any help would be awesome.

I'm playing the same way as the guys wave their hands and she does sing along. but then there is a scene, where they wave their hands, I'm playing right but she doesn't sing anylonger and then, the game stops and they are not satisfied with me. is there some kind of trick there?

I just went with their hands. They told me it wasn't all that great, but it'll do. Then I got a reward
