Did you lower the water level?

I can't remember the order you have to drain the water in to get the first 3 keys, and then to the room where you fight Dark Link for the Longshot.

Oh, and you don't see her again until she re-awakens as a sage. If you want me to guide you through it, you can always PM me, Joel. Or if you don't want to, look for a video on Youtube. Since that's what I would do.

I would never ever spend two hours trying to figure something in a game out, and it baffles me that people do. After five minutes I'm hitting the walkthrough.

That just strikes me as impatient though. I'd give something 15 minutes or so before I hit the walkthrough. Usually because before I even do that, I realize I didn't try the one idea that I thought was stupid and it works.

Which is why I'm so unwilling to devote a lot of time to them. If you can't make it clear enough that something isn't stupid, I'm not going to waste time flailing around trying to find the answer.

The thing is, there is a difference between a puzzle and a puzzle with no instructions.

My favorite GG album would have to be "Octopus."  Great stuff.

Down there with "Giant for A Day"?  (Now there's a 1-star album.)

After one hour of focussed Zelda'ing, I've got the longshot and am making good progress I think. I never used videos on YouTube or guides, they ruin games for me because I can never stop looking

First of all, you ALWAYS save before temples. Second of all, you ALWAYS save before the motherf**king water temple of goddamned doom.
