Curiosity Shop #062 Zelda Dungeon Mailbag

[psx2514]

Link was also able to pull the Master Sword in Link to the Past without turning into an adult either. Speaking of Link to the Past, do you guys prefer the "real" title of that game which is "Triforce of the Gods"?

[G1985HEAJX]

they took out the chanting in skyward sword because it resembled islamic prayer, and also took out the moon symbols because it was an islamic symbol.....look at the old mirror shield as opposed to the one they put in after the edit.....the islamic community was bitching about these things being in the game

[surfingthechaos]

The way Zelda looks in Skyward Sword is way better than any of her more recent incarnations, this one is actually reminiscent of the concept art for the earlier games on the nes and snes.

[TheXenibear]

the symbol on the blocks and mirror shield is the symbol from the turkish flag and i believe other arabic flags too. the crescent moon and star are symbols of islam and i think symbolise good luck? im not islamic so im not 100% on that. Maybe thats why they were used in the game? or maybe just coincidence im not really sure.

[rsbrennan3]

it would have been cool to fight dark link as the final boos in the shadow temple

[kikn64]

This guy is fresh from prison in Australia... like i mean he's wearing

JAIL GREENS!!!

[TheDarkLordGanondorf]

someone please tell me where the whale is in the skyward sword trailer? i never noticed it, unless there talking about the thing that eats zelda.

[Starrynightskai]

A combination of the Wind Waker and Twilight Princess! We shall call it... Wind Princess! Or Twilight Waker.

[TheLinemaniac]

is skyward sword going to have the giant space of Wind waker or the medium space of ocarina of time?

[multizoroark]

well another reason for why link does not turn into an adult when picking up the master sword is when he picks up the sword it has no power so while a kid you have to restore it

[theguyinurbed]

I LUV TWINROVA

[TheLegendHeroes]

Thanks for answering my question and thanks also for calling Wind Waker Link more impressive because he is my favorite Link. Axle, you just kick everyone's ass!

[MegaMrMarbles]

Sound in the beggining- Bongo Bongo Singing/chanting.

[BiGeStAnImEfAnEvEr]

Just beat OoT3D and know i have a question: Is Ganondorf bad becuaus that's how he was raised by Twinrova. Or are they bad because they are loyal to their son.

[joiles01]

Alright, perhaps my most serious of all questions... is Ganondorf based on Andre the Giant, and if so, has he ever held the WWF championship, and if so to that, will he put the belt on the line against Link in a steel cage match?

[nintendocomic]

i beat the water temple without a game guide!

[ErikIng333]

I'm a little disappointed in what might be considered difficulty in Skyward Sword. Basically, it's getting hyped up that you take more damage...but that's not really harder.

I find Wind Waker an easy game. I find it no harder doing it a 3 heart challenge. Why? Because either way, the enemies are too stupid to hit me. We need smarter AI, which I can only hope this game will deliver. I could care less for damage, I can fix that with 3 hear challenges. I can't fix AI

[Firock1]

I was at GameStop the other day and saw a commercial for Skyward Sword...It showed Link holding onto a bird and flying from sky island to sky island, Do you think that this will be a great addition to the Zelda series? It's not like in minish cap, you see link holding onto the bird and flying to island (Probably being controlled by you)

[somerandomteen]

Just to contribute to the fun going on here...

My biggest Zelda fail was when I was on level 1 in four swords adventures (the gamecube game) and I couldn't figure out how to press the switch where you had to have all the characters in the square formation stand on it. It puzzled me for months.

[quickstrikeman]

are Zelda games the only games u play

[TheZeldaDungeon]

@quickstrikeman

I speak for the entire staff of Zelda Dungeon: LOL!

~ Caleb

[saw4650]

@TheZeldaDungeon

eigi anonuma announced that if they get enough support then theyll make majoras mask 3d

~ Leo

[dordeneaux2010]

Lol my biggest Zelda fail was trying to beat all the way up to gonna in oot blindfolded. I got too her and lost all of my footage :p

[MIKEAGGAN]

Biggest Zelda fail: Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker (first Zelda game I ever played) At dragon Roost Cavern (the entrance part, where you gotta pull the statues that have the faces on them, to get to the entry) I didn't know you could push and pull things by holding R until accidentally doing it. It took me three months on and off to figure it out. Then after I figured it out I beat the game a week later. Biggest Zelda fail ever I think, And the biggest noob moment I've had in a video game.

[hamiltonshea]

I died on gohma 5 times because i kept getting deku sticks with the the classic controller :(

[soj56]

@hamiltonshea deku sticks are more powerful than the kokiri sword. but then again you might have been going for the slingshot

[TheJazzer94]

My biggest Zleda fail? (This is embarrasing to say) The stone before the Kokiri Sword almost Killed me...

[mastersword427]

back of question paper from oot one of the imprisoned carpenters in the gerudo fortress says that

[teamrocketspy621]

I must have missed the part where Ghirahim made it clear that the servant of the gods is the "whale," and not some other character who saved Zelda from her kidnapping after, not during the scene where she's kidnapped. At least, the impression I've gotten is that the servant could be a Sheik-type character who probably tips Link off to Zelda's location in the Sky Temple. The "whale," on the other hand, doesn't look like anything but one of the villainous forces to me.

[dude63097]

i have a question..... WHY DO YOU RECORD BY A POTENTIALLY DEADLY FLIGHT OF STAIRS??!?!?!

[rford40]

hahahaha!!!! "you're a cute kid!" one of my favorite awkward lines from zelda

[Peanutz996]

biggest zelda fail? It took me 120 hours to beat

TP..... (I was only 9, but still)

[khdarkwolf]

biggest zelda fail? well.... I've had OoT for YEARS and haven't finished.... heheh...heh...

[soridosuneku]

@Zcrazy123 ! Good observation. You just made me realize.. that whale was in the effin' sky, right? Unless it was just too cloudy and there was an ocean.. or maybe it can fly? lol Not sure.

[Semightus]

uhm... it was links 18th bithday on TWW right?

[heather99100]

Why do you film this at the top of some stairs.?

[TheFanOfNintendo]

I thought the chanting was Islam

[dylantarrantps3]

biggest zelda fail, getting to vaati in minish cap and my brother deleting my account, if that counts..... i was not impressed

[studmuffffffin]

I got stuck in the water temple for 5 years. Does that count?

[Kirby64TCS]

Biggest Zelda Fail: Getting right at the checkpoint Darknut thign in the Palace of Winds in Minish Cap... then dying.

[Zcrazy123]

What if the whale was the Windfish? from links awakening. I mean seriously Whale in the Sky! W-I-N-D F-I-S-H!!!!!!!

[workinoutgirl]

You so silly. ;)

Is that the Joker on your beanie? Love it!

[ajgrinsell]

The Whale in the Skyward Sword trailer is the Wind fish from Link's Awakening. I'm calling it. 

[leafboy456]

@GoingBonkz Ya, but wut duz that mean?

[GoingBonkz]

The chanting was Arabic. They're saying "Allah hu akbar". I'm Muslim, this is not a racist assumption.

[AltairEgo1]

Anyone interested in Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower or Last Story? Operation rainfall could really use the help. A simple post in the Nintendo Channel, facebook and Twitter asking for the RPGs would be real helpful.

[billy606124]

what is your faviteit zelda game out of thes 3 maorai mask or wind waker or four swordman and last missh cap plz put on mailbag plz

[billy606124]

what is your faviteit zelda game out of thes 3 maorai mask or wind waker or four swordman and last missh cap

[HeroofLight]

the biggest Zelda Fail.......the cdi games they were an Epic fail

[RamboZelda]

Biggest fail is my first playthrough in Wind Waker (which was my first Zelda game) when I got to Dragon Roost Cavern entrance. I didn't know the blocks were pushable, so I did everything under the sun to get into the dungeon except push the blocks.

[MIKEAGGAN]

@RamboZelda lol dude I just realized you had the same one as me, and you even wrote it before me. That shit took me like 3 months to figure out. lol.

[Zeldagigafan90210]

as for the fire temple chanting, some believed it to be an Islamic chant. it wasn't true but the tone of the chanters did sound like a prayer. (it IS a TEMPLE after all, a place where worship is practiced almost every day.)

[CarsAndGames11]

whats that starting noise? its familiarand i think its from windwaker

[CarsAndGames11]

@CarsAndGames11 now wait its bongo bongo

[geauxlegendofzelda]

uh the link from windwaker could be a the same age as teenager link from OoT. the art from the game makes it hard to tell

[AlaskaAce1996]

Its was Arabic.

[manmancool67]

@AlaskaAce1996 *It

[TheAverageGamefreak]

My biggest zelda fail was in Twilight Princess. In the Palace of Twilight when getting the second sol, in the first room of that section. I didn't know there was a clawshot target on the ceiling to get down on the moving platform. I had to look up a video walkthrough. I felt like such an idiot afterwords.

[mariovsluigi54321]

Ocarina of Time was my 1st Zelda game to. Still my favorite Zelda game of all time.

[Armando58305]

The sound in the beginning is Bongo Bongo, right?

[LoZfilmz]

zelda mail bag videoa 4 the best!!

[TheZobbleMuncher]

@TheZeldaDungeon well in the later games why didn't the fairy ever have a role in the story like in oot or mm

[jaretnintendonerd]

Have you seen the Easter Eggs of the Skyward Sword artwork in OoT 3D? Why do you think its there?

[BingoBird4]

I think that Caleb said in his Ocarina of Time walkthrough when he was in the fire temple that they removed the chanting because it was chanting in arabic about Allah and Nintendo didn't want their games involved with religion.

[TCD252009]

i thought about the siren world in ss and remember that the instruments in la were called sirens instrument you think nintendo named this realm as a refference to that?

[kingbooforums]

also the chating in the fire temple or was it the forest temple I meant was a muslim chant that said "god is great" so I am not sure why they got butthurt over it.

[TheZobbleMuncher]

@TheZeldaDungeon why do they in series is the ever a reurn of navi or something like her in any other zelda titles (excluding mm and tp)

[TheZobbleMuncher]

I don't like the new zelda

[batteryboy71]

what do u think navi left

[TheZeldaDungeon]

@batteryboy71

Maybe she was jealous of all the sages that had the hots for Link. Eh, eh?

~ Caleb

[kingbooforums]

@TheZeldaDungeon how about a serious response.

[TheZeldaDungeon]

@kingbooforums

If you're referring to my Navi comment, the reason Nintendo switched her out for Tatl is because they wanted Majora's Mask to be more mysterious. They didn't want hints handed to you on a silver platter, but they still wanted a fairy companion for Z targeting, occasional clues and also some more in depth character interaction. They made her "snobby" because it was easy to do that and make it believable that she was withholding information. Where's Navi? We may never know.

~ Caleb

[RekaunSean]

zelda fail?

i couldnt find the sword in my first playthrough of the NES original

[Croxyndul]

@RekaunSean hahaha, now that is a huge fail. congrats.

[Sharpclawasaurus]

Jabu-Jabu is like the Tardis. Small on the outside, big on the inside.

[LinkLoverRinku]

LOL love the blooper at the end ;)

[mosquitoninja45]

my biggest fail is that i hav only finished 1 zelda game.

[BillPzc]

I can guess alot of things, Quote is Ganondorf in OOT when you meet him outside Market as he is chasing Zelda, beginning sound is Bongo Bongo. First song Potion Shop (OOT), Second The Twinrova Theme, Third Ganon's Castle (Before Tower), 4th Tower of the Gods (Wind Waker), 5th Death Mountain (Twilight Princess), 6th Don't Know, 7th the song you play as a young link to the band leader for a HCP.

[Shotgunryugan]

My biggest Zelda fail is not being able to beat Zelda 2(Wii VC version)i think i've beaten like the 1rst temple and that's it. -_-

[wCailumtheGamer]

Another option is, it seems that link in the "Toon Form" is always a teenager, therefore old/strong enough to wield the master sword.

But not strong enough to master it.

[XtrueheroX]

welll... the master sword WAS in the pedestal(spelled wrong??) of time, causing link to grow older when drawn out.

[OtherGuy931]

@Croxyndul

Why? The whole struggle with Ganondorf doesn't begin until Ocarina of Time. In my opinion, I think Nintendo has been relying on Ganondorf too much lately. I would rather have them keep him out of this game, then bring him back in Zelda HD or whatever.

[Croxyndul]

there had better be some reference of ganondorf in skyward sword.

[ThePwnagekiller]

biggest zelda fail?

first play in tp

tried shooing the cat back to the house in the start of game... -.- i was an idiot

[PPXEXE]

Could be the Wand Fish as well from Link's awakening 

[TheBojanglesPanda60]

biggest zelda fail

Phantom hourglass attempt at multiplayer

[gorgar43]

The quote I think is when you rescue one of the carpenters from the Gerudo's cell. My biggest Zelda fail would probably be when Twilight Princess was new and I think I need a guide for the first dungeon

[dudex765]

i never knew about the big goron sowrd untill yesterday and i was playing oot since i was five!

[SuperClassicGamer95]

if skyward sword is a prequel to Ocarina of Time, why is Link like a Teenager in the Trailers?

[NintendoKnight1]

@SuperClassicGamer95 A prequel by a 100 years. Not the same Link.

[JADSkaen155]

@SuperClassicGamer95 In Zelda, the Links in the game are not the same Link [unless it's a true sequels or prequels(ie Ocarina of Time -> Majora's Mask), however Skyward Sword is a prequel by TIMELINE] more of generations, or incarnations, of the hero of whatever.

[MrPenguin64]

My biggest fail: Spending at least 20 min in Dark Link's boss room trying to figure out what to do (OoT)

[percyinthestyx]

Biggest Zelda fail: ummmmm... just about every temple of every game even when I look up a walkthrough for them.

[ycsdramaqueen]

Biggest Zelda fail...well, I wouldn't say BIGGEST, but it's one of the most prominent and most reoccuring. I can never find the Fairy fountain by Hyrule castle, the one that the Great fairy mentions after you finish the dodongo cavern dungeon. I always think it's on either side of Hyrule castle, and I spend at least a day or so trying to find it.

[pikapikachu25]

At the end of OoT, Zelda says that the time travel connected to the master sword was gone.

[caringless4u]

oh oh oh!! I know one of the musics was the dungeon music for the Temple of the Gods in WW! I know this because I loved that music lol

[LiKrySo]

Skyward Sword´s Graphics are Great, it mixed the Wind Waker´s Cartoony Style (Which COULD mean less Graphics More Content) and the Design from Twilight Princess

[zeldapudding]

Yay! i'm a cute kid!

[FunkyDoozer]

biggest zelda fail?

in the deku tree(first playthrough)

i couldn't figure out how to get past the door that was blocked by the spiderweb...-.-

[FACEPALM555]

@FunkyDoozer same

[jimmyelgringito]

@FunkyDoozer You set your stick on fire then ram into it

[XtrueheroX]

@FunkyDoozer when i was little it took me and my brother 1 week(no lies) to figure out how to kill the deku scrub before the slingshot... when all you had to do was raise ur fucken shield. haha --

[OniLink96]

@FunkyDoozer

You were better off than me... I couldn't figure out where to get the Kokiri Sword for the longest time.

[JonathanBones]

Volvagia your least favourite? C'mon Axle, it was whacking in a dragon's head with a hammer. That's just brilliant.

[DoubleONothing1]

Biggest Zelda Fail? Twilight Princess; First trip up Death Mountain.

When you had to try and fight the Gorons WITHOUT the Iron Boots, and then when you return to Kakariko, the Shaman would tell you about the Iron Boots.

Took me 3 days to figure out, because I refused to leave Death Mountain until I beat the Gorons which of course was impossible. And all I had to do was give up...and people say never give up...

[supersmashman90]

"You're a cute kid!" Yes I'm

[MisoCrazyCup]

2:22 best screen name ive ever heard XD

[TakeErEz]

Axel, the symbol on the mirror shield and blocks is on the turkish flag, which is a muslim symbol more or less. And from what i've heard is that the original chanting in the game was some gibberish and some chants about "allah". But i dont know for sure cause im not muslim or understand that language for that matter.

[Front1sForYou]

Bongo Bongo was an awesome boss! At first I didnt think he was cool, but after i realized he was a decapitated creature being hung I thought that was awesome! Seriously that is such an awesome end to the creepiest part of the game

[nintendo706]

i heard somewhere that the fire temple chant was saying something like "God is the greatest" i don't know, but i think it would be strange for them to remove it if it was completely meaningless

[pumpkinsareflamable]

On the Wind Waker question you are correct, but if you noticed in the beginning of the game it is said at the age of the Hero of Time the boys were garbed in green. This could mean the link in Wind Waker is 17, but the toon like graphics make him appear differently. That is my theory on that.

[SammySosaTV]

I loved Skyward Sword's looks at once! If you look at it like you're a kid again, it just looks amazing. It blew me away at E3 last year.

[FunkyDoozer]

@NorwegianGamerBros

stop spamming

[shebu935]

@NorwegianGamerBros lol, I prefer to watch GameChap play OoT3D. His voice is amazing. :'D

[isabellaV21]

LOL the guy's username for the third question was hilarious

[dude63097]

WAS dissapionted in the looks in SS, but new traiker made it allll better
