On to the second dungeon, it's good so far.

When you have exactly 5 seashells and go to the seashell house, you get an extra seashell.

The same happens when you have exactly 10.

Does that mean you can't get those once you have more than 5 / 10? Drat and double drat!

It does indeed, I'm afraid.

In total, there are 26 seashells on Koholint, and you only need 20, so there are extras out there.


Edit

Catfish's Maw complete.

I had an absolute disastrous session here. That damn Master Stalfos took my death count up to 7, before I got my tactics down. It's an excellent dungeon, with a great mechanic chasing him down to get the Hookshoot, which is an awesome item. I remember first playing Awakening and thinking how cool it would be to see this type of item in 3D: lo and behold, Nintendo answered my prayers with Ocarina.

Anyway. I've now got 10 Hearts, (8 Heart Pieces) and 18 seashells. I've one more part of the trading quest (the Magnifying Glass), then I'm going for the Boomerang.

This is a strawberry floating great game, and it's really starting to pick up.

Kuds for setting this up guys.

Nearly at the end of the Face Shrine. I spent ages wandering around trying to remember where to go and then realised there was a door I hadn't been through.

I haven't played for a while now.

Play it. Now.

The interest for this thread seems to be waning...

Anyways, finished the face shrine on Saturday.

It appears that way doesn't it.

Anyway, I'm a bit behind, and I've just finished the Face Shrine. No deaths, but I did pick up one more seashell, and two Heart Pieces. Only two more to go.

The dungeon was, as always, ace; no real probems, and the Nightmare was ridiculously easy. I don't think I even got hurt once from the minute I entered the room.

That should change with the next dungeon. I've always thought it is a toughie (but, again, a great mechanic), and the Nightmare is, I think, the hardest in the game. I shall tackle that tomorrow night and hopefully have all the seashells by then, and the reward.

I'm a little bit behind too, as I'm halfway through Angler's Tunnel. If I'm correct though, there's not much sidequesting between the next two dungeons, is there?

I wasted a lot of time as I completely forgot how to get to the Yarna Desert.

The Face Shrine boss is ridiculously easy, though it serves him right for not having any hands.

The Angler's Tunnel boss is also ridiculously easy. It may as well not be there.

I feel like I've lost a bit of motivation as of late.

PLAY IT YOU banana split!

I think you know what will help.

Play it now.

Pervert.

Nah, you've won me over, I'll play some right now.

Okay, I'm up to Animal Village. I'll play more tomorrow...

No dungeons tonight, I just finished up a few side quests.

I completed the trading quest to get the Magnifying Glass, headed to the house with all the books to get the route through the Wind Fish Egg, then exchanged my shovel for the Boomerang, picked up my last seashell and upgraded my sword, and collected one more Heart Piece; just one to go.

I made my way through Eastern Tal Tal mountains, collected the Key, and saved inside the Eagle's Tower.

Eagle's Tower complete. Just one death to add to my previous 7; it was that damn eagle that caused it.

What a great dungeon that was; even after I lost the orb and spent ages looking for it.

I've saved in Turtle Rock, but I think I'll leave that for tomorrow.

I'm workiung my way through Eagle Tower now. I rememeber getting stuck in this dungeon when I played it last time.

Yeah, it is quite a tricky dungeon, mainly due to getting that damn orb thing into the right place. I love the way you have to break the pillars to bring the roof down. It's such a great mechanic.

Anyway, I've now completed Turtle Rock, with no deaths I might add. I think that's the first time I haven't been killed in here. It's a great dungeon, but there is a lot of coming and going in it. The Nightmare was actually quite easy; another that didn't get a single hit in.

I've saved just inside the Wind Fish Egg; I don't know if we're planning a similar ending to Papes, and all going in together, so I'll hold off for now. Either way, I'm fully stocked up. Got my special potion from Crazy Tracy, all Hearts, my Boomerang for the Nightmares and my Level 2 Sword.

This play through has really got me in the mood for more Zelda, so I'm thinking of restarting either Ages or Seasons. I prefer Ages, and I've completed that more than any other Zelda game (sans Ocarina), so I should really give Seasons another run through. We'll see.

If enough people are up for, we can have a big group run-in to the final battle if you want.

I've got some catching up to do, mind. I was up to the Catfish's Maw, but then my SP battery died. Now I've got to do that bit with the sodding ghost again. I always get lost - the first time I spent hours with him following me. That chime he does is massively annoying too.

I'd be up for doing Ages too. I played through Seasons again at Christmas (after finishing LA, incidently), but have not even played Ages yet. Perhaps something different for the next Playde though...
