Hey everyone, I’ve been replaying Twilight Princess and something keeps bugging me. I remember there being a second, harder version of the Sacred Grove statue puzzle that you can do later in the game. This isn’t just a memory from my childhood—my family also recalls it! I played both the Wii and the HD versions, and I have this vague memory of the layout being almost flipped vertically. Plus, I distinctly remember playing as Link instead of Wolf Link in this second version. Am I just misremembering, or is there actually something more to this?

I think what’s happening here is the Wii version could have felt a bit different since the gameplay mechanics might have affected your perception of the puzzle. It’s also possible you encountered different challenges that made you think there was more to it. You’re definitely not alone in this; a lot of players often remember past experiences differently!
It’s an interesting thought! From what I know, there isn’t a second version of the Sacred Grove puzzle in Twilight Princess. The memories could definitely be mixed up with other parts of the game, like the Skull Kid section. It’s easy to confuse things over time, especially with so many Zelda games out there! Maybe you’re just experiencing a bit of nostalgia from all of your previous plays.
Yeah, nostalgia can play tricks on your mind! A lot of us have fond memories of various puzzles, so it’s understandable to feel like there was more than there actually was.
