Getting stuck in zelda

[RomanceIsDead]

***CAUTION: A few spoilers***

So I got a 3DS and a used copy of Ocarina of time 3D after selling my DSi XL on ebay. I made it my goal to beat this game in under 7 days so I could return it at gamestop for a full refund and pick up dead island and star fox when they come out.

So I have almost beat the game but I am once again stuck and I realized that I keep getting stuck OUTSIDE of the dungeons. All the temples I have beaten so far have been without any assistance, but I have consistently gotten stuck on the quests in between the dungeons. For example, giving the fish to jabu-jabu was not a reasonable puzzle because I never knew that the small fish could be caught with a jar. I spent hours trying to catch fish in the pond and bring them to jabu jabu. Playing the ocarina for the guy in the windmill took...hours.

I'm stuck again and with only today and tomorrow to finish the game, I'm wondering if anyone has some advice on how to get unstuck. No I won't tell you where I am in the game because I want to figure it out myself, I'm just looking for strategy.

Wait...so you want us to help you get through a section of the game, but you won't tell us what section you're on? HOW THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO HELP YOU THEN?! Each dungeon has a specific thing you have to do, so if we just start guessing, we'll be telling you how to get past every dungeon in the game until we finally get the right one that you're on. Since you said you wanted to do this on your own you obviously wouldn't want us to give away how to get past every dungeon, so it reasons that you should just TELL US what dungeon you're on.

This is officially the dumbest OP on the escapist this month.

Well I think you're missing the point. I don't want you to give away specifics, but there's gotta be something that you do when you get stuck. And FYI, if I wanted to know exactly what to do, I wouldn't need to make a post about it, I could easily look it up in a FAQ...

I really don't follow your logic. There's no be-all-end-all solution for these puzzles, we can't tell you GENERALLY what to do, it doesn't work that way.

LOL I figured it out...

So I wasn't activating a cutscene because I kept leaving the colossus building in the desert via my ocarina....

Once I actually left the building using my feet, a cutscene with shiek was activated and I got the song I needed. I rest my case...its bullshit!

Well see, you have to do things and stuff happens, and then you gotta do that. And don't forget this. Then you can get that, to do this and that opens that, and then you win.

we good?
