Title: The Swamp Archery Game
Post by: Mysterious F. on July 30, 2010, 05:33:30 PM
Has anyone here actually beaten it? I've tried, like, 20 times and haven't been able to. I just give up.

I have, but it usually takes me a couple tries or so unless I'm kinda dynamically dexterous.

It takes a few tries until you get it just right.  At least you have a magical bank account to help you fund your practice rounds.

I usually get it on the first try.  Every cycle I run it a few times just to grind rupees, same with the one in Clock Town.  Depends on which one i'm closer to.

It's all about knowing where things will spawn and having a priority system.  I can't remember it all, but it goes something like:  Mini-Deku:  Priority 1, Wolfos:  Priority 2, Guay: Priority 3, Regular Deku:  Minimal Priority.  Just gotta hone in on your accuracy after that and it's all smooth sailing.

I like to practice my aim with the bow at Guay and Keese spots in the overworld, such as the Graveyard or Great Bay.

Do you wear the Stone Mask for that?  I'd imagine that Leevers, Chuchus, and whatnot would interrupt you if you didn't.

I think they bother you depending on how close you are to them. ChuChus don't wander too far away from their spawning point, do they?

I don't think so, but it's been a long time since I've been able to play MM.

Never really try that hard to beat those kinds of games. I just leisurely play them for the fun of it.

I typically do it for one-hundred-percent completion and for assistance with the alien sidequest. You can never have too many arrows for that.

I think I wanted to say hello, for old times sakes more than anything else.
I've been playing Zelda (again) and naturally thought of the good times spent here on the forum.

Welcome back, Lokes.  Why don't you head on over to General Discussion or the Chatboard?  It's awesome to have you back, and I'm sure you'd get even more responses if you announced your return in a topic that was designed for such glorious returns (as opposed to one for specific Zelda discussion!) :D
