Mastered, quite the process doing this game going back and forth with the DPad patch and touch screen since some moments in games feel better with certain control schemes. It was worth it tho!!
kobae 20 Jul 2023 06:42
Thank you @AlmightyXor for making the set! I'm really enjoying it!
Gamez101 8 Oct 2023 05:53
Mastered! This is a pretty good set. This is also the first time I actually beat this game, so that's fun as well. A lot of the achievements I thought would be difficult were actually quite simple once I got to grinding them out, and while it was difficult to get used to the controls even with the DPad patch, I learned quickly. If you read any of the posts in the forum topic, you will see people talking about difficulties with mic support, but I'm glad to let you all know that this issue may not exist anymore. I was playing with the MelonDS core and found no difficulties using the mic button for any of the issues brought up in the original forum topic. While this may differ with other cores, I can say for sure I did not run into any issues. While the soundtrack is a bit immemorable, I can say that a majority of this game is just a great time and more people should consider playing this game.
ChronoGear 26 Oct 2023 19:59
Mastered! Pleasant set :)
Zomoroko 2 Nov 2023 01:53
Should have achievements for ship part collection, Beedle's membership, the Prize Postcard, and the Stowfish. I also would have added special achievements for getting a Heart Container in the mail, and getting banned from Harrow Island. Still a great set though!
Loeher 28 Feb 2024 22:23
Lovely set. It was very fun to master it
ColinMakesYouMad 27 Apr 2024 02:21
I beat cyclic in 37 seconds and got the wisdom fairy and the achievements didn't pop for some reason. Figured I'd let you know! I had just gotten the one for getting the bombs a few minutes prior so it wasn't my internet or anything
ColinMakesYouMad 31 May 2024 03:12
For anyone else potentially having this issue, I had the same problem for the next 2 bosses, but kept reseting until it popped and I think what might be happening is I'm reseting the game, but I needed to be closing and reopening the emulator entirely. I'm using melonDS on android.
Tomisuki 12 Aug 2024 02:19
Could someone help me with a question? Does RALibRetro have a microphone function?

How do I blow in retroarch to enter the dungeon on astrid's island
HydroBobOmb 19 Aug 2024 11:38
I wouldn’t say no to a subset for ship parts, personally.
Olafur 19 Aug 2024 12:03
same here. Similarly, wouldn't say no to a subset for train parts in Spirit Tracks.

Loved Replaying through this DS classic with a tablet.
Sad to see no collection Chievos for Ship parts, i remembered speedrunning the Temple of the Ocean King and Checking Beedle for DAYS just to get that Rupee Anchor as a kid.
Tremmy 29 Aug 2024 19:53
Not as fun as I remember it. God that Ocean King temple is a drag. Doing it 5 times is torture.
Arlsixdxd 30 Aug 2024 06:11
This was truly our phantom hourglass
TatsumiKimishima 18 Sep 2024 19:51
The Temple of the Ocean King is my favourite dungeon of the entire Zelda franchise <3 Love this game. Thank you for the great set!
BuenosaurusRex 12 Oct 2024 22:33
Fun set when actually playing the game lol. Mastered this set using an 11-inch M2 iPad with an apple pencil (could use any supported stylus or fingers), and a GameSir G8 Plus controller to grip onto the tablet. Used the RetroArch iOS app with Desmume core. Used the dpad patch and it makes me wonder how I tolerated this game as a kid lol.

Had to send my save file to my mac with airdrop for each "blow" section to use on the official Desmume emulator. Somewhere (possibly the forums?) someone linked the perfect blow audio files to upload to the emulator for best results. Once you get passed the last blow section (list of required blows in the forum), then you can just play the game uninterrupted finally. The built-in pattern mic noise on the iOS RetroArch Desmume core works for all the "Shouts" you need to do. You could also play the game using the preloaded save files linked in the forum if you don't want to deal with the back-and-forth emulator switching business (although still need to swap save files when ready). I just didn't want to lose any progress I made myself enroute to 100%. Either way some real shenanigans are needed to play this set. Not sure I'd recommend this set because of that fact.

The RetroArch melonds ds core on pc/mac has the "blow" setting perfect for this game, but you may need to deal with glitchy textures. If that doesn't bother you, then that might be the best way to play this. Desmume however has glitchy scratchy sounds that play mostly in the caves/dungeon music. The iOS version of the melonds ds core doesn't have a good "blow" input currently. I tried it. Works on pc/mac version of the core for sure though (Linux too I'd bet). If you're fine playing with a mouse or have some means to use your windows/mac screen as a touch screen, then do yourself a favor and play using the melonds ds core on RetroArch on pc/mac. The most work you'll need to do is swap the mic sound noise in the controller settings every now and then.
D0nil 24 Dec 2024 21:26
Can't get the Eox and Cyclox achivements, timer bosses is dumb way to ruin the run, cuz my retroarch with desmume core not support this 2
AlmightyXor 26 Dec 2024 01:42
I rolled back the changes that should be causing those achievements to no longer work. Please try again.
Cosmichero 8 Jan 2025 06:17
I have a newfound appreciation for Phantom Hourglass. The set was a blast and I did it all with just the D-pad patch on MelonDS DS retroarch core.
