As you have probably noticed, Zelda's room is always locked. There is, however, another way to get in, once you have the Clawshot.
Get on the roof using the ledge near the top entrance to the Knight's Academy and then go down the chimney. To do this, you need to use the Clawhshot on the target at the back of the chimney.
It is best to enter at night for some additional secrets, and once inside you can see Zelda's Diary, pick up a Gratitude Crystal, get a Heart Piece and examine the Tingle Doll.

Yes, you can actually do that in this game. Well, of course the naughty parts are covered up, but he won't be wearing any clothes.
First you'll have to climb on the Knight's Academy's roof at night. Then use the Clawshots on the chimney to enter it and you'll have entered a secret room. Look down and you'll see Gaepora bathing, but sadly you can't join him. Yes, this is why Karane couldn't enter the bathroom at night.
Walk a bit further and you'll find an entrance to Zelda's room. Be sure to check everything! If you do so, you'll find a Gratitude Chrystal and a Heart Piece. Also note the Tingle statue. Oh and you can also read Zelda's dairy... If you dare to.
After you beat the Forest Temple Kukiel's mother will ask you to help her find Kukiel. Now if you ask people around town they will tell you they saw Kukiel playing in the graveyard. Now fly to Pumpkin Landing, here talk to the man who talks about a monster. He'll tell you about seeing the monster in a Graveyard at night. Now fly back to the town and sleep till night after this head for the Graveyard. Theres a tree in the Graveyard just go to the Gravestone nearest to the tree and hit it with your sword. After that push it open and a hidden door should open up. Just go through and follow the path and you'll find Kukiel and the monster.
The first boss battle is surprising hard for the first boss battle in the game. At first it looks like Ghirahim isn't doing a thing to fight back. This isn't so. He'll block you rather easily and if your not careful he'll disarm you and use your own sword against you. If this happens it best to dodge till he drops it. Just keep attacking him till he gets his own weapon out. Now this guy is fast and will doge a lot. Often he'll come up behind you this is when you quickly turn and hit him. Around now he should also be shooting red things at you. Just try to dodge them if not slash them. He'll also knell down when he does it means hes about to hit you with a powerful attack. Run at him and attack before he can launch the attack. Just keep this up and you should beat him. Items I suggest you..
As you are going through the game you will have to help the scrap shop keeper fix his robot.To get a sacred flower all you have to do is go to the Lanyura desert.Remember the first place where you activated the time-shift stone.If you activate this the area will go back to the past surrounding.Look around the chamber[next to the machines on the wall]and you should see a sacred flower.
You can obtain medals that add different effects to you if you put them in you adventure pouch.
Heart Medal: Makes hearts appear more often and in Hero Mode it allows hearts to appear because normaly they don't appear.
Location: Goddess Cube Chest.
Treasure Medal: Causes monsters to drop treasure more often.
Location: Goddess Cube Chest.
Rupee Medal: Rupees appear more often.
Location: Goddess Cube Chest.
Bug Medal: Allows you to see the location of bugs on your map.
Location: Beedle's air shop
Life Medal: Adds an extra heart to your life bar.
Location: Beedle's air shop, Goddess Cube Chest.
Cursed Medal: Has the effects of the Rupee and Treasure medals but you can't access your sheilds or potions...
When you go to jump off the statue (actually when you get PUSHED off the statue) you have to pull the Wii remote up. If you tilt it down (even since diving) you will fly forward instead of landing in the water. It is frustrating but easy once you get it together.
As you travel laying on the ground you'll often see a green fruit like object. These are called stamina fruit and are often laid about on a trail so as your dashing you can refill your stamina gauge without having to stop very much to rest.
So you know that place with the pumpkins where you can smash them and get rupees? Well if you go there, and smash them all, you'll get some rupees, then walk somewhere else where the pumpkin patch is out of view. Eventually, when you look back, the pumpkins will be there again so you can smash them all again. Just keep doing this until you have a lot of rupees.
(I'm not sure I spelled rupees right. Is it actually rubees?)
When you've gotten the Clawshots, go to the entrance to Lanayru Desert(but speak to Dodoh on his island first) and activate the Time Stone. Climb up the vines, or Clawshot up, and walk along the ledge. Slowly make your way across the gap, and look for a rainbow wheel. Get closer and have Fi call the robot. Walk down along the ledge to grab a chest, and return to the sky. Fly over to the island and give Dodoh his wheel. He will unlock his minigame for a Heart Piece, lend 5 Crystals, and let you try his game once for free.
For the minigame, you will be blasted up and forced to dive back down. Hit the rings in the sky to rack up mulitpliers, and dodge the Dodoh Balls. If you can land on the 50-Rupee space with a 10x modifier, you get 500 Rupees and a piece of heart.
Finally,..
The Hylian Shield isn't that easy to find in this game compared to previous Zelda games. In fact a lot of people probably don't even pick it up since it's optional. However, I think it's really worth it: blocking attacks with it doesn't drain your stamina at all.
So how do you get it? Well Lanayru, the thunder dragon, gives it to you. Don't worry if you don't know who he is, he isn't hidden or something, so you're probably not far enough yet. But he won't give it to you for free, you'll have to win it by playing his mini-game, it's called Lightning Round. (See my other submission for tips to win it and what other rewards you can get) If you're able to defeat all 11 bosses (12 in hero mode), you'll get the shield!
Warning: MAJOR Spoilers Ahead
The Thunder Dragon's Lightning Road is a mini-game in Skyward Sword and a way to replay the boss battles and silent realms. I'll be mostly focusing on the boss fights though. You can play it once you revisit the dragon after saving him.
Boss Battles
Boss Battles is simple, but it certainly isn't easy. You'll fight eleven bosses in a row (all twelve if you are playing Hero Mode), though you can always quit after defeating a boss. You won't be able to heal yourself at all. The only items you'll be able to use are the items you had when you fought the boss the first time and your shield. There really aren't that much tricks you can use, so just be sure to use your shield and block a lot! One thing I do know thoug..
The first cheat is how to get in zeldas room. U must have the clawshots first. Ok go to the roof of the school. Then use your clawshots on the target on the chimney. Then drop down. Once inside,crawl through the hole then you will drop into zelda's room.once you have done this uthe door will stay unlocked. U can find a peice of heart in the cupboard. U can also read the diary.
The second cheat is weird.fist make sure it is night. U must go on the roof and use the clawshots on the target on the chinmey. Then drop down. Look through the grating. U will find the headmaster naked takin a bath.
Hope you liked the cheats!!!!!!!!!!!
Damienepic is out!
As you go through the game you will get to a point where you have to collect 3 sacred flames.As you are going through the first flame mission[witch is after you get to the dragon] mission to a point in witch you have to slash at a door with a certain direction.The order of these slashes is up,down,<,>.At this point you should be able to go through the door and continue on in your mission.

I have followed the walkthrough guides on how to beat the imprisoned (2)but can not get through I have spent 6 hours .. |
Attack the Imprisoned's toes. When he falls to the ground, strike the Sealing Spike into his head. It is the same battle as the first time you beat him, only he can attack now. |
How do I get above 30 rubees? Please let me know. Thanks.@ |
If you are referring to Rupees, then you can carry far more than 30 because one of your first purchases will be an Extra Wallet that costs 100 Rupees. Rupees can be found everywhere. Run/dash into certain trees and Rupees will fall to the ground. Slice up pumpkins and Rupees appear. Help-out others and they will pay Link with Rupees. For details of the game, read the walkthrough by az47. Have fun. |
Where are all the gratitude crystals at! |
There are 80 Gratitude Crystals, that is far too many to list here. I suggest finding a guide. You can use Fi to dowse for lone crystals, and try talking to everyone you can (in the sky). If they sound like they are asking for something, they are bound to be part of a quest. |
