**Spoiler Alert**

I figure I should have a spoiler alert as I’m going to discuss where I am in the game now.

Update – 1AM
I just beat the Fire Temple. It wasn’t quite the puzzle that Forest Temple was imo…but I still have 4? more complicated dungeons to go.

I still don’t know how to do Zelda: A Link to the Past – Dark World Dungeon 5 (Ice dungeon). I was stuck on it for so long when I was younger, that I decided to go to dungeon 6 and get the key item that would allow me to continue dungeon 5. Ever since then, I’ve always done Dungeon 6 before 5….it just seems to work. And it makes 5 really easy :)

Anyways…
73 – Skulltula tokens
33/36 – 1/4 Heart Containers
4 Bottles
All 3 tunics
Biggoron’s Sword
…and all that other stuff.

I’m admittingly using the internet to play…in an ideal world, I’d have to time to mess around and figure everything out on my own like I did for Zelda: A Link to the Past…but those days when I had that much time are gone. I try to avoid spoilers and I don’t use any help when doing dungeons…but I use the internet for like, where the skulltulas are and where the heart containers are. And how to get the 4th bottle.

Right now, I think I have everything I can get at my current time of playing. Like, I have everything I could have, right now. I must admit, it’s kinda cheap…because there’s no way, playing on my own, that I’d have 31 Heart Containers. I imagine if I weren’t using any guides, I’d likely be around 12 or 16….and I wouldn’t have this 4th bottles…not that I really need it so far. Just feels kinda cheap to me, this game, so far, is pretty easy and that might be why. Cuz I’m cheating!

Things that made me laugh, or that I failed at, or thought was awesome so far.

• Zora, moving his fat ass ever so slowly to unblock the door to the 3rd dungeon (made me lol cuz it took so long)
• In the Forest Temple, with the 1 skeleton knight, followed by 2 skeleton knights…those guys owned me royal. Everything so far had been dirt easy, no use for Lon Lon’s milk, fairies, nothing…so I had one bottle with a bug (you never know when you might need to unearth a Skulltula!), one bottle with Lon Lon’s milk and…one bottle with the blue flame (which, as I said in my last post, I bought). Anyways, I had beat one skeleton and had 3 hearts lefts….1 skeleton left. And then the other skelleton came back to life! I used both my Lon Lon’s milk but the 2 skellies took that off in like, 15 seconds. I thought I was gonna die so I just aggressively attacked my ass off…and I beat them…but I barely survived. It was then that I decided…to get some fairies :) 4 Fairies…so now, I’m prepared for it all!
• Forest Temple’s Puzzle ghost. Moving the blocks in time and preparing them to work after a rotation. Never had a puzzle like that in Zelda, it was awesome.
• Forest Temple’s first boss: Phantom Ganon. Just the idea of coming out of the paintings…and I had no idea what to do. Well, obviously use Bow and Arrows (as that was the weapon of the dungeon) but…I kept missing, and getting shocked! Jerkface! Thought that fight was pretty interesting in concept. Kinda like Haku from Naruto, Zabuza partner…going from mirror to mirror
• One of the reasons I HATE Zelda dungeons: That stupid hand that comes from the ceiling and brings you to the beginning. As someone who does things thoroughly one time only, I can think of nothing worse than having to repeat things unnecessarily. Waste of time. It got me once and I was like “WTF???”…and then was like..”F*** YOU!!”
• I used my expensive Blue Flame to unfreeze Zora to get the Biggoron sword. It was well worth it.

Seems like I won’t be able to finish the game by tomorrow sadly. I’ve spent a lot of time the last 3 days play…but I’ve also been sleeping a lot and going out…basically just recharging. I finish, at most, 2 dungeons a day. And I have….4 to 5 to go….and after tomorrow, will have to take it easy time wise (cuz I go back to work). I guess my goal is to finish before the end of the week…if I can do that, I’ll be happy. I’m glad I finally got around to playing this…it took a long time to find the time to do it…but I’m glad I finally did.

Update – 3AM
I just did the Ice “Dungeon”. Don’t know if I said this, but I HATE Ice and Water dungeons…and levels. Very happy Ice Dungeon was so short. When I saw the map, 1F, I was like “WTF!?” but yeah, not complaining…omw to the Water Dungeon, but I should sleep…….
