Finished.

They are easy to handle once you use the slingshot to stun one of them then just run up and hit that one first and then the others

Well I beat the game.The way the gameconnects to earleir zeldas does feel magiacal. Now everytime I pick master sword in any zelda game I will always know that Fi is in it :)

Anyay Ghrium was annoying to beat. Took like 5 triesand each took forever to end. Then Demise  was even harder. The way you fight him didn't feel epic. Though getting lightning however was.  Also it kept starting me at 6 hearts and took away any items I used. Well atleast I died.

Anyway this game is the best 3D zelda game. 8.5 from me.

I am in the third dungeon, so far loving it, and it is definity given me the most trouble I can remember since LttP, and I was about 10 then......

Faulty internet in my dorm yesterday meant i played a bit more. Beat the 2nd boss and began picking my way through Lanayru province.

Oddly i found the Earth Temple easier than the Skyview Temple, though that may be because i'm more acclimated to the game, i also think the flow of the Earth Temple was easier to track than how Skyview was mapped out. What you did in Earth was harder, but Skyview's design was a bit more obtuse.

Scaldera i thoroughly enjoyed. Exactly what i've wanted out of Zelda bosses, as in Wind Waker and Twilight Princess (and even worse in the DS games) bosses became so much about fighting around the feet of these towering behemoths, figuring out the pattern and then executing the pattern. Scaldera still had a pattern, of course, but it felt so much more organic, a living thing closer down to your level (but still monstrous) that you were really fighting against

Hope future bosses are this cool...

I just beat the thunder dragon challenge, I decided to take the money instead of the shield. How greedy! I thought I would win the shield anyway.

Yeah i did the same, I thought if you got to the end he would give all the prizes (or at least the unique ones, ie shield and heart piece) but I had to go through again and quit after 8 to get the shield.

Thanks, but I'm already going after the third flame so it's a bit late for me to do anything.

So I beat the game over last weekend, but I don't think I've posted in here.

I have a lot of gripes about the game... a lot of them. I won't go into it here, as it isn't necessary. Part of my issue is that I hold Zelda games to insane expectations, which really isn't fair..

But I will say this: The sword gameplay is unparalleled. Completely unparalleled. The combat ideas, boss ideas, and accuracy and fun-ness of swordplay is downright amazing. I was completely blown away by the last hour of the game, and was so blown out of my mind that I can overlook every other mistake in this game due to its sheer brilliance in swordplay.

I can never play a new zelda game without one-to-one swings. I just can't go back.

Isn't the 3rd one the big scorpion? I thought that was pretty cool, though given that you fight one again later it feels less like a boss.
