Talk:Permanently Missable Items

I don't have enough time to continue working on this today. But if anyone wants the source to continue the work: http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/general-zelda/91860-permanently-missable-items-a-guide.html

The primary author of the guide there has posted interest in this being an article in the that thread as well as in my talk page. {note that many people contributed to the creation of this including ZWers such as GM and myself} I'm cutting most of the 'guidish writing' to fit the ZeldaWiki format. I'm also cutting out the 000 Deaths information for another similar article with a 'See Also' link between the two. Not to mention a 100% completion list to compliment articles such as Challenges, and 3 Heart runs. 11:53, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

No one else needs to bother --- I corrected many things. But, in the process, I sacrificed my time. --K2L 04:50, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Fake sword
Its impossible to lose all the fake swords in a Link to the Past because they reapear when you leave the forest, so I'm going to correct it.

Missable Heart Piece in OOT:3D!!!
In OoT:3D, the game let me play the frog bug catching game before I learned the song of storms. I got that heart piece from them but when I pull out my ocarina for them I am forced to play their mini-game and I am unable to play the song of storms for them. That makes one of the heart pieces they give unobtainable. I am going to test this again on another file but someone else check this too. Zelda4life 18:39, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Oh, maaan, now that's a nasty glitch. If you're able to confirm it in that other file, then feel free to add it to the page (and I though that Phantom Hourglass was going to be the last game with missable stuff). -- 20:14, 23 July 2011 (EDT)

Harrow Island Treasure Maps (Phantom Hourglass)
I was wondering if there's a reason why the two randomly located treasure maps on Harrow Island (Phantom Hourglass) are not included. This is the island with the irritable Sheikah Stone who you pay to dig for treasure ten times, and if you dig past that he fines you, bankrupts you, and eventually expels you from the island. There are a set amount of maps in this game, even if most of them give you ship parts (which are available by numerous other means), so wouldn't it count as permanently missable? Thanks!

 * Never you mind, I read the page, which says that you can play again for 300 rupees. Deku Tree Sprout 00:09, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Dying Person
Once in the article: "Dying Guard in Market Alley: After collecting the third Spiritual Stone, a scene will ensue outside the Hyrule Castle gate in which Impa and Princess Zelda are fleeing Ganondorf on horseback. If the Link enters the town market and explores the back alley, he will find an injured guard who explains the situation before dying. The guard disappears entirely once Link removes the Master Sword from the Temple of Time."

A dying person is no item and if the guy doesn't give Link anything (the text doesn't mention anything that he gives to Link), it's not a permanently missable item. -Bernd (talk) 18:31, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Soups in Twilight Princess
Wouldn't the Simple Soup and the Good Soup you get from Yeto technically be considered missable, as once you upgrade to the Superb Soup you can't get them anymore? They're useless, yes, but still missable. WilliamRaine (talk) 04:15, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hm. Personally, I guess they'd be worth mentioning, as long as it's noted that it doesn't make much of a difference. Besides, I doubt many people would really miss them, considering that there are literally no hearts in the dungeon, so the soup is your only source of health regeneration. I dunno, though. It's worth opening up for discussion. 12:09, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Phantom Hourglass Treasure Map/Sand of Time
I was replaying Phantom Hourglass and realized I had forgot tent to get the treasure map from the man on the pier who asks you about the salvage arm. Since it leads to a minute of sand I hightailed it back to Mercay. I had already defeated the Cubis sisters on the gohst ship at this point. The man was no where to be seen. I have looked around Mercay and couldn't find him. It appears this map is permanently missable. Bummer since it leads to some sand and it's going to drive me nuts that I won't be able to 100% it.

 * Gut feeling says that you just didn't look in the right place. This would have been noticed ages ago if it was missable. Check some walkthroughs online to confirm or disprove your issue. Champion of Nayru (talk) 10:10, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

I already checked two walkthroughs and neither mentioned it either way. I also have googled the issue in every word combination and way of phrasing I could think of and found no info at all save that if you tell him you have the salvage arm he gives you a map. I'll make another sweep of the island and check back. T4t3z0r (talk) 13:55, 17 May 2014 (UTC)T4T3Z0R
