Zelda

And there you go.
I couldn't remember if it was immediately after entering Lorule or after you get his Sand Rod back.
Looks like it was the former. ^.^

Aye

and ye say there's a hero mode?
The same old "no more hearts and double damage" routine?
Seems like this will be a Zelda I'll be enjoying for the next few months, if not years.

[MegaMooseJam]

Weird enough, there ARE hearts to pick up.
Kinda freaked me out when I saw one float out of a piece of grass.

But the enemies deal quadruple damage instead of double,
so I'm not complaining.
So far I'd say it's a good deal tougher than WW HD's, if that helps you get a feel for it. (Never played SS's Hero Mode.)

[Cucoo5]

SS is the same as the one in WW HD
double damage, no hearts.

Well...here's to oping my mad cucco dodging skillz pay off for that.
Oh and did ya notice the Cucco dodging minigame?

[MegaMooseJam]

I loved that minigame!

Crazy chicken lady and her crazy Cucoo Danmaku. ^.^
Make sure to challenge every level. (Except Unlimited. It's fun, but unnecessary.)
