LemonManX here, just hijacking this first post to post what Maddocks posted when he created the sticky for the OFFICIAL help topic, but apparently since this was made first Ricky's post come first... anyway here's what Maddocks posted:
With all the all,"need help" and,"i have answers" threads I have chose to just make one sticky for any questions along with answers.
i would love everything to be organized so if you have a question please post it like this:
QUESTION
and if you have the answer:
ANSWER
that way if someone is scrolling really fast, they will know when to stop to read the questions and answers.
Also if you are asking a spoiler question. try to underline it or hide it some way so no one gets spoiled.
That way if they do see this:
QUESTION
they will know it contains spoilers and not even read it.
Thats all from me... anything after this is Ricky's work. LEMONMANX OUT!
If you are stuck in the game ask here and I will personally help you. I might have trouble with sidequest questions because I haven't completed them all yet.
Yes I am aware that there is another one of these but, I recently bought a computer and I'll be online most of the day so I can provide speedy answers. Plus I beat the game and yeah... I'll explain it as thoroughly as possible.
Good idea then we can make it a sticky and not have 50 different help threads. Do it up!
Thanks for the thread so we wont have 20 others.
NO SPOILERS, PLEASE!
I'm just wondering if after you beat the game, you are allowed to free roam, completing side quests. Is it like Ocarina, where after you win you get a "the end" screen, or are you returned to the world and able to save?
It's like OoT where you save before the final fight and after completion it takes you to a "The End" screen. So no, all of your roaming is done right before the final battle.
Ok, I am in the third temple and have just gotten the dungeon item. There is one area I cannot explore because the rings will not turn. I cannot figure out how to progress despite searching every room. There is one ledge in the room with the rotating platforms that I cannot reach, but I am not sure if that's where I need to be.(it is in the room with the fallen bridge). Any pointers are welcome, thanks
Did you go to all the areas where you have to pull the thing down from the ceiling to release all the water? And you have to rotate the staircase in the main room to move the water stream.

I have released the water in the spiral room. I thought I had rotated the stair case every way possible... Please don't tell me that's what it was that I overlooked.... lol
Where is the Big Key in the Twilight Castle?
Never mind, found it behind the "waterfall" of evil black twilight stuff two rooms before the boss room.
New question: In Hyrule Castle, how do you get up to the chest in the room with three torches? I lit them and it seems like there is one more that should be lit to raise the last platform.

I am at work right now, so I can't try it out. Is adjusting the stair case all I have to do in the 3rd temple to get the key and find the boss after i've gotten the temple item? Thanks
I need to know where to go once you unlock the boss door. I'm lost.
Isn't there a fan outside?
Ah! Nevermind you're confusing me. Here.. Step-by-step.
1) Go to the room where you got the Boss Key
2) There appears to be a hanging switch. Clawshot onto it and use your iron boots to activate it. Remember what that thing looks like.
2.5) The switch should make a giant fan turn off.
3) Notice the hole in the floor of the room where you got the boss key. Note how if you walk over the hole, Link falls through into the room directly below. This is a realistic simulation of what would happen if you walked over a hole in the floor in real life. (Got to love the realism).
3.5) Proceed to fall through the hole.
3.75) Do not fall through the giant fan in the center of the room you have just fallen into.
4) After clearing the room of enemies, notice how the ceiling of your new room can be clawshot'd.
4.5) Proceed to clawshot the ceiling of your new room.
5) On your nunchuck's analog control stick, move up or down. The chain on the clawshoot will extend or contract, depending on the direction you move the control stick in. Play with this for a while, moving Link up or down (while still hanging on to the clawshot)
5.5) Do not press A or let go of the clawshot.
6) When you are done playing around, proceed to lower the chain by moving down on the nunchuck. Lower it alot, and after that, lower it some more. As expected, Link will move lower and lower until he eventually goes underneath the fan and be hanging high above the floor of a more larger and familiar room.
7) Press B to activate your double clawshot. Locate on the ceiling of this new, larger room a hanging switch (which look s a lot like the switch in Step #2)
7.5) Proceed to clawshot said switch.
8) Apply iron boots
Please keep spoiler free.
Is the Zora shield equipable?(My original shield burnt, but I have the Hylian Shield)
Where the hell are the heart pieces?

Is anything impossible to complete/get after some point of the game?
1) I'm pretty sure the shield equips when you equip the armor. Right?
2) I'll answer this in a seperate post because it's kind of big.
3) Umm... Poes. You can miss Poes.
New question: In Hyrule Castle, how do you get up to the chest in the room with three torches? I lit them and it seems like there is one more that should be lit to raise the last platform.
Can you be a little more specific? I don't understand... Which room? From the information you've given me, it sounds like you're in the room where you need to blow out the lit flame.. Maybe? Here lemme explain just in case it IS what you're tlaking about.
Alright... Light all of the torches in the room, so that all of the platforms raise except the last, then stand on the highest platform, turn around and use your gale boomerang on the torch that was already lit when you first came in. (NOT THE ONE'S YOU LIT! THE ONE THAT WAS ALREADY LIT) Once it goes off, the third platform should rise... go onto it before it gets all the way up. If it's a different part then inform me. I'm not even sure if what I said is where you're at.

You never answered my question Ricky, maye you misunderstood. I have the sky temple boss key and I've done all that you just said. After I unlock the boss door I'm taken outside and I don't see where you go next. Thanks for the help.

I have no clue, what you're talking about. Look at my post where I answered your question... I changed it.. if it's STILL wrong then tell me so I can turn on the game and check.
Hey Biggie, Look around to your left and your right, you should be able to use the claw shot on some vines or something I believe.
I'm just starting on Zelda. Just got turned back into human form from being a wolf for the first time.
My question is: where can I get more empty bottles? I've got one filled up with extra lantern oil. I'd like to find a couple more so I can get bait, potion, etc.
Oh, and at this point in the game is there anyplace else I can fish besides the river in Gordon Village?
hm worth a shot, the sinking lure.....have ya found it yet?
Haven't found the sinking lure yet...should I have?
I've now beat the Forest Temple. I've found another fishing spot at the watering hole right before the forest but I keep getting the same 11-13 inch bluegills (i think that's the fish, can't remember). I wanna find some more!
The hylian loach homie!!! ya gotta beat a stupid rolling game or snag the lure somewhere in the fishing hole. My strategy guide says look in the northwest corner....great help there...or none at all. I have read in other forums it can be found ANYWHERE in the fishing hole....whos right?
