I'm pretty sure you can just grab it next time the water is up there.

Several of these are not actually useless.

You said that you turned off your DS... is it possible that you had not saved, and therefore your Link has not yet learned what symbol he needs? It's been a while since I played PH, but sometimes in these games, even if you personally know what to do next, you need to talk to a certain person or...

To do a roll attack in PH, you need to draw a tiny circle with your stylus. Like, you are running toward the tree, and just before you hit it, make a little circle and you should roll. It's pretty difficult - I have a lot of trouble with it. There are actually several trees throughout PH that...

Hmm. Great Bay temple is pretty complicated and that makes it pretty hard, but I like it a lot. Same for Stone Tower. I have always disliked the Bottom of the Well and the Alien Invasion, but they aren't hard - I just don't like doing them. For me, the hardest part is ... actually, I always end...

My method tends to be rather slow, but I never ever die doing it. ;-) Wearing your Zora mask, stand in the center of the platform. Keep an eye on Gyorg (he releases bubbles to the surface of the water). He'll hit the platform trying to knock you off, but since you're in the middle you won't...

I always drop off the edge of the ledge attempting to only get the attention of the one directly under me so I can deal with him first. I use the back slice exclusively on the Darknuts, always - it's the easiest way I have found to beat them. You have to target until the one you're targeting...

Without using bottles, there is no way you'd have enough magic to use Giant's Mask or the Light Arrows on Twinmold. Only thing I can think of is just regular arrows, but sheesh, you've just got a small quiver too. I think that the pillars that are scattered around drop magic jars when TM breaks...

Have you tried light arrows? Hit him/her/it with one and the bats will scatter. Then lay in with your sword. Good luck, lol.

Alfon actually makes sense to me. We know they like to re-use names, and Link's mentor was Alfonso in Spirit Tracks. But no, they never gave him a name in-game.

I love to replay. :) I have played each of the games I own probably like 20 times each.

Might try DeviantArt. Quite a few good artists there. .........

I always end up using a guide to complete the game, but I like to play through the first time by myself. Sometimes I get stuck on certain puzzles and need a clue, and of course I don't have the patience to hunt down all of everything (like the Skulltulas in OoT), so guides are my friend.

Try a pawn shop for a GB if you really want to play it old school. We see them pretty often here, maybe you will too. And omg I do hope that OOX is on the virtual console, because while I have OoS, I canNOT find OoA in any store anywhere I look (and I don't want to buy online). {100th post...

I could definitely see this working. Maybe like a "stealth mission" type thing? Or maybe, say, the item/boss/etc is in the middle of a large building, or on the top floor, and you have to get back out/down. Would be much more realistic, I think.
