>It's cool when games have unintentional hard ways of doing things like that.
I don't know if I'm stupid or what, but I beat the shadow temple, and the rest of the game, without ever knowing about the Lens of Truth. In the temple I just probed a shitload with the longshot, looked at the map for clues about where rooms should be, hit every wall with my sword, and used a pinch of intuition about where things "should" be in terms of level design in a couple spots.
I don't know if I could do it again if I wiped my knowledge of the game. When I was young and gaming was the most important fucking thing in the world I was tenacious about it. Bongo Bongo is still probably my favorite boss fight in that game in terms of coolness.
