Life Lessons from Zelda

Sometimes the only way forward is to go backward.

Talk to everybody you meet. They probably have nothing really important to say but once in a while you find that necessary bit of information you have been searching for.

If you have tried more than 5 times to jump somewhere or blow up something and you can't quite get it, don't fret. Leave it for now and you will get something later that will help you accomplish whatever it is you're doing.

You can't save the girl until you have completed every task.

It was all about her, it was never about you.

You can't defeat Ganondorf on your own. You will need Zelda.

It's much easier when you find and use the map and compass.

Don't waste your time obsessing over mini-games. You really don't need to hold extra arrows, bombs, or whatever. The dungeons will provide what you need.

When in doubt, play a song.

If it causes pain, you can destroy it.

Don't forget to use your shield. You don't always have to be on the offensive.

There may be items like the Giant's Mask that will only be used once. You might think it's stupid to get it in the first place, but that one time you use it will help you get to your eventual goal.

There's always another puzzle.

When stuck, look around you. For the really hard puzzles, there's always going to be a hint somewhere.

Don't forget to look up.

Don't tell yourself, "I'll come back to this later." If you can do it, do it now. Otherwise you may forget, plus backtracking is annoying.

When you're about to give up, ask yourself, "Have I used everything at my disposal?" Sometimes the answer comes using the most random of items.

Taking the time to help others is never a waste.

Don't waste your money by buying items that you can find in pots or in the grass.

Fill your empty bottles. A healing potion doesn't cost that much anyway.

Power is not as great as Courage and Wisdom working together.

You were chosen to be the hero.
