I was thinking about stopping. I bet that would make them a lot more fun, wouldn't it...
I always figured it was like paying someone to play the game for you... unless you use the internet.... do they still make guides?
So I've been playing the Goron mine fire temple thing without the guide and it has been going quite smoothly. Maybe I'll use it later when I want to go back to collect heart pieces or something, but the lack of guide makes it waayyyyy more fun.
The game is far too linear and simple to require a guide.
