I don't know how many of you have tried the 3 heart challenge in OOT, but i am, and i've also decided to try this: Get through the whole game without the blue tunic. It's not that big of a deal until the water temple. and, with only 3 hearts, you have a mere 24 seconds between breaths of air. It's pretty darn exciting. :D If anyone cares to try, here're some tips i've discovered to increase your underwater time: 1) if you wait until just after the 18 second mark, you can remove the iron boots and the timer with disappear for about 5 seconds. then it starts over at 24. HUZZAH! you've just gained 5 seconds. It doesn't work if you wait past the 18 second mark. 2) if you dive (with the A button) down to an underwater hallway where a ceiling keeps you from floating back up to the top, you can swim pretty far before the timer actually starts. 3) on the hidden room in the center of the level under the floating platform, which is probably the hardest part to get through with only 24 seconds, set the water to mid-level, then you can jump off the immobile platform closest to the water towards the floating one, but just short enough that Link doesn't grab the edge of it, you splash into the water. Just before you begin to rise back up, equip the iron boots. you can then sink down to the lower hallway. just as the timer reaches 18 seconds, remove the boots and swim along the hallway until the timer starts again. Quickly equip the hookshot and shoot the crystal-switch, releasing several enemies. back up so the spines will retract. shoot them from a distance. then go kill the other 2 clam things, MAKE SURE YOU KILL THEM ON YOUR FIRST SHOT, or you will run out of time. if you do it fast enough, the other grating will open. You'll probably die then, (i only had 1 second left) but when you resume the game, the gate will still be open, and then easily accesible without drowning. get the key and go back out. Im not sure if the gate will still be open if you can save the game and exit just before you die, but if you want no deaths, you can try. :D Have fun. |
