Title: Does anyone know why...
Post by: TP Zelda on June 13, 2007, 06:05:15 PM
Does anyone know why there's a mirror in Link's basement? What's its purpose?

Um, to use his reflection to make sure he looks okay?  Asides from magical purposes, what else do you use a mirror for?

How else do you think he gets his perfect hair?

Um.. yeah, he just has a mirror in his house. >: Is that a crime?

But why keep it in the dark basement, unless he's hiding something... ::)

The only reason its dark is to hide the fact there is a chest there.
[spoiler/] containing 50 rupees[spoiler]
EDIT
Will someone tell me how to make spoiler boxes please,I've been asking since I joined the site????

What exactly do you mean by spoiler boxes? I just go:

SPOILERS!
(enter)
(enter)
(enter)
(enter)
(enter)
-spoiler here-
(enter)
(enter)
(enter)
(enter)
(enter)
END SPOILERS!

And did you know that Link's eyes show up if you turn off the lantern and look in the mirror? And his hair sways in the wind and blocks his left eye occasionally...

Haven't you ever seen those black boxes say "spoilers, hilight to read" on this site? They are called spoiler boxes.

No, I can't say that I have, besides, going like
SPOILERS!


[spoilers here]



END SPOILERS!

seems easier to me.

[spoiler]Moo![/spoiler]

Hmm, yeah, we don't have spoiler tags here.  Perhaps you should try putting the spoilers in really light text that you would have to highlight to read?
Title: Re:Does anyone know why...
Post by: Fishalicious on June 15, 2007, 10:13:43 AM
Oh, you do that by:

[b]Spoilers! Highlight to read![/b]
[color=white]You'd have to highlight this to read it.[/color]


I think the Master Sword only glows after the Palace of Twilight...

THANK YOU. By the way, howcome it only glows when in the Palce of Twilight. After you leave its normal.

It glows because the sword is in a dark world, but it's got two spheres of solid light in it, so... it glows.
Title: Re:Does anyone know why...
Post by: Bboy94 on June 15, 2007, 02:53:49 PM
Not literally glows in the mirror, it reflects light, like his eyes. Also, this is how you do "spoiler boxes."

The reason it glows only while your in the palace is because you need it to cut through the darkness.

Yes, the sols give it special powers in the Twilight Realm.
Title: Re:Does anyone know why...
Post by: IronKnuckle on June 16, 2007, 08:40:18 PM
But why don't the sols work in the light realm? That is what I'm asking.
Title: Re:Does anyone know why...
Post by: MagmarFire on June 17, 2007, 11:19:57 AM
I suppose it'd be because of the barrier separating the two realms. The Sols' power apparently just doesn't do it.

It's like having two adjacent rooms separated with a wall with a door in it that also has no window in it, and we'll say that the door is always closed unless it's in use. You can have the lights on in one room and the lights off in the other. Does the light go through the wall and into the dark room? No. It doesn't work when both lights are on, too. I think the same rule would apply with the Sols.

Also, Midna did say that the Sols are the equivalent of a sun in the Light World. The sun from the Light World does not bring light to the Twilight Realm, and the Sols do not bring light to the Light World. If the Sols cannot bring light to the Light World, I wouldn't be surprised if their power wasn't in the Light World as well, which would explain why the sword won't glow.

Anyway, let's get back on topic...if the topic hasn't been discussed thoroughly enough.

I thought she ment sun as in energy souce, not sun as in light source. They really don't give off enough light to replace the sun. I always assumed that the sols were the "batteries" that the Twili used to power thier technology.
Title: Re:Does anyone know why...
Post by: Fishalicious on June 17, 2007, 02:06:53 PM
Well, they don't need a strong sun in a world of Twilight. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called the Twilight Realm. XD;

Well, light IS energy, you know. We use our sun for solar power, and plants use the sun in photosynthesis. The Twili probably do use the Sols for their technology, but I think they have natural uses, too.

It does glow in the Light World, but because that world is brighter, it doesn't seem as noticible.

Wait..... we're totally off topic. We need to get back to the mirror.

Just for decoration, I guess.
See, everyone?! SEE?! I TOLD you he was an ego maniac!  ;D

I'm guessing the mirror was just an Easter Egg put in there for fun. No real reason for it, but still fun to discover!
