tips on wagon escort plz.

[Ricky@3rdshift]

so if I kill the bird 1 time I can get rid of the guys on the boars too??

I read it that way and am going to try it.

not convinced it was the bird that made the difference, but it took me several 'orbits' to realize that the orcs aren't dead just because I slashed them off their horses... you have to get off your horse, hit them again, preferably following it up with an Ending Blow, actually kill them. After I killed 3 or so, the cart took another turn and got closer to the goal... when it reached the gate, I had to dismount and kill the rest of the orcs (periodically stopping to put out the cart fire).

Yes, I tried killing the bird too, and I'm not sure which one made the diff....

its def the bird that drops the bomb, i was doing it for about 10mins before i noticed the bird, as soon as i killed it before it dropped the bomb the kart carried on.

That wagon really annoyed me too. And whenever they got set on fire, annoyed me more. But yeah, my wagon went around in circles. I got to the point were I was yelling at the TV, demanding the wagon stop going in circles. Needless to say, I started receiving strange looks. Seriously, I don't see why they needed Link's help getting back, well, they could have at least put themselves out when they starting burning. Of course, I despise the hero complex.

This section of the game sucks more than anything I have ever played. I loved the game till I got to this, and this bull almost has me taking the game back to the shop unfinished to trade for something else. No way is that bird the difference, I just killed that bastard about a dozen times and it respawns immediately over and over - explodes, gives a heart or gem, then Bammo! another one appears... This part of the game is terrible. It really sucks and I think it is the weakest part of the game (which is otherwise awesome) I think this stupid escort thing should never have been put in the game to start with. well that's my 2c anyway. (Hope they sacked the idiot who put it in there so the next one is perfect! (j/k))

All you have to do is go ahead of the wagon a little bit when it's on the road. It's not gonna hurt it to have a couple fire marks on it for a second or two. Killing that bird is the number one priority. You can put out the fires with two or three boomerang swipes anytime you want, but you HAVE to make sure you get that bird before it drops the bomb on the road and makes you go around again.

Also, I loved this part of the game. It actually required a touch of skill (unlike the rest of the game which I thought was dreadfully easy). I think the mounted combat was one of the coolest aspects of the game.

Of course, I despise the hero complex.

Then, I do not believe Zelda games are for you.

Well, waddya know! I went back to it after a couple of hours away, and got through beautifully first try. I simply ignored the twits on pigs, pulled out the boomerang and pwned birds till we cleared the fields. I dowsed the flames once, shortly after the usual bomb spot was past.

Oh: And about the rest of the game being easy: if that's a problem, a different game type is what you need then. THis is an adventure game - they are "slow", thoughtfull and methodical by nature. This is I believe about the best ever of the genre though. And once I went back after a rest and some calming of the nerves the escort wasn't really that bad.

See now, that doesn't make any sense. Adventure games are not necessarily slow by any means. Puzzle games, however, are slow, thoughtful, and methodical by nature. Zelda is more of a puzzle adventure, I think. I don't think a different game type is for me because I love all the past Zelda games. I would just hate to think that I'm outgrowing them in terms of difficulty.
