Today’s game is Twilight Princess. I got into the Water Temple today. I have to say this is my favorite place so far. It’s isolated and secluded, and so fucking cozy. I like the ambiance. It’s cozy and the theme is very nice.

This central pillar area reminds me of Spirit Tracks in the tower of spirits, which by the way has an amazing theme.

The puzzle with the switches is an interesting idea though, with having to grab a hold on being an interesting idea. I do feel as if it slows down the pacing a little but it’s not too egregious

I got as far as this room before getting off. I know that’s not very far, but I struggled to figure out the puzzle with the bomb arrows so it took longer than I expected.

Anyways. I just wanted today to be a brief status update. It’s been slow continuing on with Twilight Princess. The world size feels hard to navigate at times and i forgot to take screenshots of it. I’d have more to talk about the world if I remembered to take pictures but for now this will work.

    I’m about the same place you are and I have to say that I’m really not enjoying this game.

    I know I played it on GameCube. But this is the only Zelda game I don’t really have memories of maybe I didn’t enjoy it back then either.

    I’m hoping that I start to get into it more after this third dungeon.

      I’m inclined to agree with you I think. I’m split down the middle artistically. It has some beautiful songs and places, but I don’t care for the characters really.

      With gameplay… it feels off. Like. The world is a size too big and it introduces ideas way too early

    Yoooo. Have you been playing the decomp version that came out? I’ve got it on my list to finally play this game on master mode/hard mode. I must’ve put hundreds of hours into it as a kid on the wii

      Dusklight with the 4k texture mod is incredible. 4k 240 FPS. (or an easy 60 fps on steamdeck)

      I am! I’ve tried to start it so many times on various versions from the OG to HD on the Wii U. I want this to finally be the time I beat it. I hope it is

    I ran out of water bombs, and couldn’t continue.

    Had to warp out, ride to Kakariko and buy more… is there a vendor or a replenishable source of water bombs in the first rooms of this dungeon, or maybe in lake hylia somewhere?

    I already looted the chest in the room with the metal carapace enemies.

      Spoiler

      I believe there’s a Zora outside the door that will sell them to you. I ran into a similar issue so I know your pain

      This is just based on long, distant memories, but I think you can actually fish up the bomb fish and get water bombs from them.
