The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX (3DS)

You know, I’m pretty sure I’m buying every single Virtual Console game out for the 3DS. I got Zelda the other week, and as well as that I’ve also got Kirby, Donkey Kong, Mario Land, Qix, Double Dragon and Fortified Zone. I’m only missing Tennis and Alleyway and I just know I’m going to end up with them too if there’s a slow week… But back to Zelda. Somehow, back in 2005, when I was running through pretty much every …

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Before going back into Dungeon 6, I had a wander round outside, and found some more pieces of heart. Then it was back inside… It was a shame that I’d only had one heart left at the end of Misery Mire last go, since the end boss was actually very easy. He threw eyeballs at me, which I had to kill, and then a giant eyeball bounced around the screen. It took loads of hits, but wasn’t difficult. Then it …

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

With the dungeon complete, I had to get off Tokay Island. Conveniently, Demetri the Dodongo dragon lizard fish monster bull appeared, and carried me back to civilisation. I was told by the Maku Tree to head north-west, and on my way met Impa who informed me Zelda had been kidnapped – by some baddie from Seasons, in fact. Into the Black Tower and quick game of Donkey Kong later, and Zelda was saved. I got a ring for my trouble. …

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons: FINNYSHED!

Hurrah! I had just one attempt today, but it was plenty to defeat the Dragon! I avoided almost all of his attacks, remembered to swap rings when necessary, and even ended up with several hearts remaining. Onox dead, Din saved, Game Over! Except for the bit that says “To be continued in Oracle of Ages”, of course. Good job I have that too!

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

Yes. I still haven’t managed to kill him. I even went back to Ring Man to see if I had any rings that might help me. I have a Power one, which increases my attack strength, but also weakens my defence. That’d be fine, since I can put it on just before I attack the dragon, then take it off in case I get hit. That was the plan, anyway. In reality, I lost all bar one heart before I …

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

Two or three entries to the diary for the price of one here, as I’ve been plowing through the game off and on today. Firstly, I finished off Dungeon 7. The ‘weapon’ there wasn’t what I thought it might be, though – it turned out to be Roc’s Cape – an upgrade to the feather allowing me to jump three times as far as previously. The mid-boss was pretty feeble, being just two ghosts I’d fought elsewhere in the dungeon, …

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

Since I have no completable handheld game on the go at the moment, this is stepping in to provide portable gaming. Or something. Typical Zelda fare so far, with the same baddies as always, and all that. One big difference so far is the fact I had to go and find my sword before I could fight anything. OK, so the very first Zelda game did the same thing, but in this one you have to travel a fair way …

Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Made my way up the mountain again, realising I’d missed some obvious blow-open-walls bits (and hence why I was stuck). At the top, I found a Minish Mine, where a blacksmith took the broken Picori Blade and send me off to get the Fire Element from another nearby mine. Naturally, this was another dungeon. The mid-boss was a load of grey spiky wobbly things, and the weapon in this dungeon was the Cane of Pacci. How unfortunate. It flips things …

Play Want Bin Expense: 2017-04-17

It’s been a while, partly due to holidays and partly due to my damn fingers still hurting. Which means I’ve three weeks of stuff to post about. Which mainly means one game. Play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch) Over 100 hours on Breath of the Wild now. I think, possibly, I may have done all I want to. I found all the memories, all the shrines, completed (and fully upgraded) some armour sets, and fought Ganon …
