Legend of Zelda: 3 Heart Challenge

[ededdneddy]

Now who here has ever actually tried playing any of the Zelda games with the 3 Heart Challenge? I actually never heard of this until know as I have always collected the Heart Pieces.

Nope, didn't even now it was a thing but it sounds like fun might give it a go when the 3Ds gets Majora's mask.

I've heard of it before, but I've never done it.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

I have not, though I did do the Super Mario RPG Level 3 challenge.

I believe A Link Between Worlds (underrated game by the way) actually had a 3 heart mode if you beat the game.

Done it with OOT, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess.

It's much easier with the newer games, I've tried a few times but usually give up out of boredom instead of difficulty.

The bigger challenge is playing the original and not dying once.

Underrated? I've never heard a bad word about it.

[MGH]

No, but it seems like a good excuse to dust off OOT and Majora's Mask some time soon.

True but I think it's up there with the best of them. Definitely better than the last few big console Zeldas.

I guess you could call it underrated in that sometimes, the handheld Zelda games can be discounted in favor of the big titles to a degree.

How does this one work?

To stay at Level 3, you invoke the Yoshi Egg game and fail it intentionally. There's a couple items in the game that can summon the mini game, even during boss fights.

This is indeed a tough challenge given that you not only have to win the boss battles, but also win the egg roulette. I swear, I f***ed up about 10 times on Bundt.

This was also the challenge that made me realize that Smithy WAS more of a boss than Culex. Sure, Culex had his crystals and such, but I still could beat him in the Level 3 challenge without TOO much effort. Smithy on the other hand is WAY too goddamn tough in his final form.

Yeah right. I'd say I can't even dry beat Zelda knowing full well how it works with all the tools at my disposal.

I've done Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and possibly Oracle of Ages, but I can't remember
