Are you going to try for all of the Koruks?

If you have all the Zelda sets (i.e. Twilight, Time, etc.) Star Fragments become a major bottleneck.

You need amiibos for those right? Probably won't be happening for me.

Getting the courser bee honey for the second upgrades is a much bigger pain in the ass than getting the dragon claws.

I think I might treat myself. A friend has my old n64. I have Ocarina for GameCube, and I have both on my hacked Wii U. I played Ocarina for 10 minutes on it last night and wasn’t enjoying the controls. I’m not worried about being a purist. I will definitely be playing the HD updates of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess when they’re up.
I'd recommend the 3DS version. Seems to be the best version.
Thanks for the nudge. Bought it today and though I only had time for the Deku tree, I’m already in love with the graphics and control scheme.

Great. I've really been enjoying your reviews of each game. Hope you don't get too burned out.

I know. Prior to starting this, I would have said 4) Zelda II 3) Link’s Awakening 2) The original 1) Link to the Past. Once I got past the initial nostalgia of the original, I was shocked by how little I was enjoying the experience. And after playing and loving Link to the Past again, I was equally as shocked that I was not only not burnt out with the gameplay style, but I was actually having more fun.
You know, this thread got me to replay the first Zelda a few weeks ago. I made it through the first 3 dungeons and then thought, "Yeah, I'm good."

I fully plan to play A Link to the Past for the very first time after I finish my second playthrough of Resident Evil 2.

There's worse items you'll need to farm than that. The yellow beetle sucked big time. I think if you set the item you are farming as your target (replace the shrines), it helps spawn rates.

I think you need Star Fragments for the jewellery items too.

Yeah that's next. I have one but forgot to take a picture first so I can't even use my sheikah sensor to help find more. And if I hold and drop it to take the picture it just flies away.

I jumped back in to BoW. I never knew there are Hinox Medals, Talus Medals and Maldruga Medals until recently. After that, I'll only be missing a few upgraded items and 350 Koruks.

After you beat Ganon, talk to Kilton, ask about monsters. If you beat them all, you'll get a Medal. There are 40 Hinoxes, 40 Taluses, and 4 Maldrugas.

After you beat Ganon you can't go back into the game though.

You get a star next to your save file - that means you beat Ganon. In the game itself, it's like you never beat him, but you actually did.

I am really looking forward to playing this game again in a couple of years.
