I felt ashamed for relying on outside help ever since... and that was my first game too!


(she did the same thing in metroid... though the advice was reach this platform.... that you could only reach with double jump (or spin attack forgot what made you go higher).... that advice didn't work as well...).

So in final... the worst is going to IGN for the help.

and read the recent Iwata Ask on Zelda, there is a part where VGgod is quoted as saying (vaguely) that if the otherguy didn't find how to open something even if the clue was somewhere else in the game, than that meant the game was badly designed as others won't find it either.... Basically if the solution seems absurd to you, the player, it's the designer's fault.

I can't tell if you are serious or not (I know the Iwata asks thing was there, the other parts though...)

Aonuma:
But there was that one time when the two elderly gamers went over by Miyamoto-san and the three of them started whispering. It looked to me like a counter-campaign was beginning.
Everyone:
(laughs)
Aonuma:
I thought, “Uh-oh…” and raced over and asked what was up. They were talking about how to solve a puzzle Nakago-san couldn’t solve. I said, “Nakago-san, I bet you didn’t see the so-and-so in that one place,” and Miyamoto-san said, “That may be in the game, but if Nakago-san didn’t see it, then other players might not see it either, which is the same as if it weren’t in there at all.”

Why all the IGN hate?

What has IGN ever done to you to deserve such the disrespect?

ok, the walkthrough is ok, I usedone for the 3rd Star coin in 9-4, but I used the
Peach's castle one, but, IGN???!! that's unforgivable

But the Star Coin I was looking for wasn't in one of the hint videos in Peach's castle. 

I know that going to IGN was wrong, but please find it in your heart to forgive me. 

Hopefully this doesn't have a negative affect on me in the Biggest Nintendo Fan on VGChartz voting.

lol, I was ~6 when I first got the game, but there were 3 of us boys and we would watch each other play, so maybe we had a slight advantage

IGN thing is way worse. I think it's alright to consult a walkthrough if you're really, really stuck.
