I totaly hated the silent realm and loved it at the same time. when I first entered the silent realm, Ibreezed past Fi's usual pointless advice and played on through without a bit of knoledge, accept to grab the tears and avoid the gaurdians. I started out ok, but died on my 5th tear or so. After that it all fell downhill, and I just kept dying. I was furious at the game but calmed myself. I tried playing one more time and did it. I got the 6th tear! I was so happy that when I went to grab the 7th tear, I didn't pay attention and dove right off into waking water. I died. After getting mad for the 70billionth time, I just turned it off. I played every day after that and after a few days, I finally beat the 1st silent realm! The silent realm kept you on the edge of your seat and kept you playing. That is what should more incorporated into a zelda game and any video game ever. Nice thread.
