Relevant text:This trick has been both discovered and used in runs before. The only difference here is that it's done from above the ledge, rather than below.

Relevant text:I believe that's true, as whenever I play I always stick to potions, to avoid the deaths. I normally keep two red, and two blue with me.

Relevant text:It's from The Onion. They do loads of these spoofs, but some are brilliant.

Relevant text:It probably wouldn't be as worthwhile if it was easy, Opium. The dealer should just be blanked, but it looks like you did that already. The tooth thing sucks. 
Nothing more annoying than toothache. Just remember that even if he gives you some painkillers for the toothache, you don't have to take them. You could even ask for something relatively mild, or certainly milder than he may offer. You could also decline completely, as long as the tooth is fixed, since that's what matters.

That should read 70 arrows if you're maxed. Bombs go up 5 at a time, and then 10 to 50, and arrows go up 5 at a time, and then 10 to 70.
Pretty much the only time you'll struggle with Rupees is the Flippers. If you have them, then anything else is an extra, so just splash out on potions or the red shield (if you didn't get it in the light world).
I'm sure there is another 600 waiting in the Dark World village too. More excess.

Finished upgrading my bombs and arrows, by the way. Didn't know there was a maximum amount of "total wishes" so I ended up with 50 bombs and 60 arrows.

I'm still at 700 rupees and pretty much just started exploring the Dark World. :| :| :|

Relevant text:Hey Quietus, from when on is the big bomb actually available? Was is after obatining the 7th crystal?
No, you can get it after the sixth, so you can use the stuff for Turtle Rock (number 7) as well as Ganon's tower.

Yep, just like Super Hero mode in MM9.

As much as it pains me to say it, yes, this is mostly the case for me. I have other stuff that I want to finish first, so I'm not rushing, but I haven't even been checking trailers and stuff.

do we all share the same apathy towards the current state of the series?

Relevant text:Those crabs can kill you very quickly. Unless you go there later, when you have to, for Dungeon 3 of the Dark World, chances are you're getting it very early, which means you have few hearts, and they do three hearts of damage each hit.
Also, keep fairies in bottles, just for extra safety. You can get two bottles as soon as you reach the village, so they should help.
For the Super Metroid thing, Wrecked Ship is actually very easy. All you need is a minor short charge in the room before the lake, and one jump onto the top ledge by the door. Horizontal spark from there, and you're across.

Relevant text:Well, I'm just finishing the big hurdle, and I should be set. The 'big hurdle' is >Kraid, Power Bombs, Grapple, and Speed Booster, with the whole Norfair section. If I lose interest in a run, it's going to be there. I deliberately did it in one sitting, so I wouldn't quit. Now I have passed the big hurdle, I can go for Hi-Jump, and then crack on with Maridia.

Relevant text:
I found I suffered with this sometimes, and most of it was cause by the difference in timing from Super, which I play all the time. Remember that in Zero Mission, pressing away from the wall and the jump button are pretty much simultaneous in this, without the short delay like Super.
Definitely a taste thing. They're so different that it's probably difficult to like both.
Currently 100%ing Redesign. I've finished it plenty of times, but haven't done a 100% run for an age - probably not long after I discovered it.
Quote from Opium:
I'm playing Zero Mission and I have to say I'm very depressed about it. I have completely lost my ability to wall jump

Possibly some sort of reduction, but it's all good.

Relevant text:I've seen Tetris vids like that before, and always think the same thing. Being able to move the blocks that quickly is impressive if, say, you wanted to move the block to one edge of the screen, but pressing it just enough times to stop one column away from the edge, without error, is what I find incredible.

Relevant text:There was one I read the other day, but it's more of an English thing: Yo mamma so fat, when she fell down the stairs, I thought EastEnders was ending.
In case anybody doesn't know, and is brave enough to listen to it to find out: The tune. (First three seconds)

Relevant text:Other than something bizarre like a minor power fluctuation, it just seems like one of those random things that crop up. I'd be tempted to leave it recording any old crap a few times (TV or whatever), just to put it through its paces.

Relevant text:I recall when I was trying this out that it was 42:xx, and I was resetting on the same screen as you - just as Ceres appears on-screen. It doesn't sound like you're doing anything differently, so it's bizarre that you're always getting 0:01.
Also, that wrap-around glitch from above is pretty cool.
