Do I win? I totally win, right?

Yes...yes you do.

OT: I'm starting to get sick and tired of Hidden Trophies. I came across one in Chains of Olympus HD where, when you get to the part where you have to push Kratos' daughter away, you have to stand there and do nothing for a full minute. Who plays a God of War game just to stand there and do nothing for sixty seconds?

Zelda: Twilight Princess (maybe my favorite zelda title, but still)

Spoiler: Puzzle Spoiler for final dungeon

In one hallway in Ganon's castle there's a locked door. In order to unlock it, you have to shoot your bow at the string holding up a picture on the wall (one of 5 or 6 pictures in a row) and shoot the switch behind the painting.

How the FUCK was i supposed to know that?

Although, for this one I actually didn't look it up, just figured it out through frustrated rage after so much trial and error.

Phantom Hourglass. At some point in the Temple of the Ocean King, you come across one of the four maps you need to proceed in the game. Thing is, the map's mounted on the wall, upside down and mirrored. I tried everything to get it; frantically tapping it all over with the stylus, tapping every button combination, using all my items on the map. Nothing worked.

It wasn't until I'd shut my DS in exasperation to put it into sleep mode and gone and done something else that I solved the puzzle. Yes, that's right; you had to 'stamp' the map onto your own map by closing and opening the DS. What.

Phantom Hourglass had a couple stupid things like that. I remember one you had to blow into the mic to blow out a torch somewhere and it never told you to do that. Also, why the hell should I have to use the mic on a DS game, where quite possibly you're in some public location and dont want to look like a complete tool blowing or talking into a microphone...
