I hate this fucking game so much. Who came up with this? Who thought it was a good idea to lock all the temples behind a test of blowing ability?
Waggle controls are bad, but this shit is insane.
>>330236089
The game is fun outside of those parts, and maybe some train errands
I don't understand, what's wrong with it?
>>330236089
>tfw never had a problem with this
You're supposed to blow on one, stop blowing, move to another hole and THEN keep blowing
It's not rocket science man
i actually couldnt finish this game because my mic stopped working completely and i was locked out of what i assumed to be a fire temple

It's a pan pipe minigame where you actually have to blow into the DS's microphone to play the note. The microphone/game's ability to determine airflow is hilariously inaccurate. Sometimes you'll get no note at all, sometimes you'll get the same note four times, sometimes you'll get a note that lingers after you've stopped blowing and sometimes you'll have a timelag between blowing and the note starting. Blow too close to the microphone and the game can't cope. Blow too far away and it can't detect the wind. I hope you're good at aiming your airflow, miss the tiny little microphone slot and you're shit out of luck.

Microphone segments like these were probably put in to prevent or discourage piracy.
Those segments ruined what could have been my favourite Zelda.

>make anti-piracy measure
>consumers suffer for it
>pirates allocate microphone to a button
This world is horrible.

I threw the cartridge out the window when trying to do the water temple panflute thing
I did it correctly several times and i have no idea why the game just ignored my inputs, and it made me incredibly mad
it sucks ass too because I think the game is completely fine and fun outside of that
I literally dropped this game because i couldn't get through one of the blowing parts. When will nintendo fuck off with shitty gimmicks in games?
I thought they were fun, both games, moreso PH, but yeah they were too weird with controls and gimmick shit.
>>330236089
Did really hate it that much?
I thought it was fun I remember even trying to play other zelda songs on the panflute.

I cant bear to do this kind of shit to my ds. I can think of all the shit encrusted mic holes festering with shit
>>330236089
I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say OP is playing this on a 3DS which makes these flute sections quite difficult.
I can tell you from personal experience, the 3DS mic is significantly smaller than the DS one, making these sections a bitch to get right. I got lightheaded a few times.
Spirit Tracks is actually one of my favourite Zeldas for whatever reason. It's charming, funny and makes good use of the platform it's on, and yes that includes the pan flute parts.
Try blowing into it constantly, just one long note and moving the flute back and forth to get the notes to work. Don't move your head like you're actually blowing into a pan flute and it'll work.
Trust me, it does work.
The touch screen movement and combat gave me cancer
>bought spirit tracks d1 because ireally liked phantom hourglass for what it was
>give up five hours in because i couldn't fucking do the flute sections for whatever reason
>never touched it again
should i try it again, guys? is it actually any good outside of those flute segments? i seem to remember the first dungeon being shit and the train sections being less interesting than sailing in hourglass
>>330242618
Are you telling me the 3DS mic is worse than the DS
>>330242642
>move your head like you're actually blowing into a pan flute
People actually do that?
>>330242908
I can guarantee that's why this many people are having a problem with the instrument sections.
I remember people getting really pissy over it when it first came out and I always wondered why, but apparently that's the reason.
>>330236089
Yeah, the game justblows
>>330243153
But it doesn't even make sense why would you blow away from the mic?

>Design flaw

You really should git gud

>Who thought it was a good idea to lock all the temples behind a test of blowing ability?
Someone who knew perfectly well that OP is a faggot.
>>330241028
I played the game fine on an r4.
The only antipiracy in the is the one that hides the train controls
>>330236089
>mfw I never had any problem with this
>EXCEPT ON THE FINAL BATTLE
Seriously I waster half an hour trying to get it to work, I was about to drop the game altogether. Fuck that thing.
>>330242889
Its opening is a lot smaller than the DS one, making the flute game practically feel completely random.
I don't know if the mic itself has better audio quality though
