Oh good grief, I feel like an idiot.  I should have thought of that...

Well, if I actually have time tonight after work and other commitments, maybe I'll try that Tongue

Keep plugging away. That block pushing mechanic is a staple of the Zelda series. You will see it more for sure as you progress. When in doubt, push on a block.

So, I got into the dungeon, but HOLY COW that's a hard one!  I found the map and compass, and the big key, got the hookshot, but then was unable to find the way to the boss area and died about 8 times.  I've only got 10 hearts - should I go back to the Light World and try and find some more?

I would say make sure you have at least one bottle and try and get s fariy if you have the net or go to the witch in the light world in the upper right and get some potion to cure you. This should help in the dungeon some

I think about 11 or 12 hearts is typically the average for this dungeon, but 10 should be fine.  I believe you can have up to three bottles at this point in the game, so you might want to go back and find the others if you don't have that many yet, and be sure you keep them stocked with fairies or potions.

In general, when you obtain an item in a dungeon you're going to have to use it to get to the boss (or it's an item that helps defeat the boss, like the bow & arrow when you get the first pendant). I think that dungeon has a lot of areas where you need to hookshot yourself around.

You need the Ether Medallion to open it.  You can find it near

Well it's 3:46am and Gannon has been defeated. Once you get going you don't want to stop ha.

It was overall a good time and a frustrating one.

I'm missing one medallion and another item as well as two full hearts. Ughhh not sure if I want to go back and hunt these down or not

Congrats!  I haven't been able to get back to this game due to time constraints, general business, and life/work stuff.  I may take a short break to do another playthrough of a short platformer, and then come back to this later in the month.

Don't give up hope. It's a fantastic game and has so much to offer.

I plan to go back to it, but I've been so super busy that it's been hard to find time to play.  I haven't even really had time to game in nearly 2 weeks, other than on Saturday when I did some couch gaming with a friend.  We played games more suited to multiplayer, like Mario Kart 8 or X-Men: Children of the Atom.  I need to "unbusify" my life a little, but it's hard between my demanding job and other interests.  Mainly, I need to focus on some more pick up and play games until I can get time back.  I still need to finish Xenoblade Chronicles, and I think I might be somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 through it, but put it down in favor of some of these playthroughs, and haven't gone back yet.

I follow the Genesis Gems podcast, and their next game is Shadow Blasters, which I bought years ago but have put almost no time into.  Since that's a simple action platformer, I might play through that in the next couple weeks and participate with them, then come back to this with a fresh perspective when things quiet down a tad.  I want to finish this game and see it through to the end, but I need time to be able to do it, which, unfortunately, right now I just don't have very much of. Sad
