That pumpkin-carrying minigame :evil: :x :capnscotty:

Good grief. Almost wish it had motion controls, it might actually make it easier :fp:

First time after posting I manage to do it 8-) Finally

EDIT: Who split this into it's own topic I don't have the post count to pull this off! :dread:

I actually just wanted to complain about the pumpkins but I think someone didn't like me bumping a four year old thread :shifty:

I don't actually remember it so I voted s(o)uper because I like the pun

The bamboo cutting was where it was at

I've tried to erase most of Skyward Sword from my memory, but I could've sworn you had to use motion controls for this minigame. :slol:
I remember it taking a few attempts, but nothing too bad.

I honestly don't remember it being very tricky at all.

The bamboo cutting is fun, tbf. Last time I did it the guy said I needed a longer sword. Is there an optional longsword like the biggoron sword in this, or do I get a better one as the story goes on?

The pumpkin balancing is definitely a lot easier when you Z-target, so maybe that's why I struggled so much to begin with.

Aside from that (and the awkward motion controls in places), I'm having fun with it, though.

I can't really remember that one but I certainly enjoyed the Bamboo cutting one.

Oh you were not side stepping? That explains why you struggled. :lol:

I dunno where you are in the story but rest assured you'll get a sword for the job at some point............ and it wont break when you use it.

Really liked the Skydiving one and the shooting one as well. :wub:

This minigame sucks ass. I think it's mandatory to complete the sidequest with the demon? It sucked anyway.

Looking for the flames to upgrade my sword.

Easily the worst thing about Twilight Princess. Of all the things to copy...

Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess? :shifty:

Got Twilight Princess HD lined up on the Wii U once I've finished Skyward Sword. Making the most of actually owning a Wii!

Got to the underwater place now, looking for the queen of the dragons or something. The Zora-Link spin jump :wub: So bad at jumping out the water with it :slol:

I've never felt the urge to go back and play this, but I remember really enjoying it. It had really good dungeons iirc.

Someone make Frank a logo

These sections in SS are more interesting then in TP. The music when they spot you. :dread: :dread: :dread:

Yeah, they're better than I remember the bits in Twilight Princess being, but I don't like how you can't actually defend yourself at all. Got spotted by one of the Poe things when I had a single tear left to find and that immediately alerted EVERYONE.

Just entered the Ancient Cistern. Backtracking to the earlier dungeons is a bit strange. Took me a while to find the key :shifty:
