Ocarina of Time Prayer Star

[Zelda Hunter]

(If need be, move this to Zelda section; this is more of a riddle than Zelda related, so I put it here instead.)

This riddle was handmade by Axiomist of ZU.

Dare to try to solve this puzzle? (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j191/axiomist/challenge.jpg) It also comes with a small poem that, very vaguely, gives off hints.

Beloved Goddesses!! Bless this quest as ye doth inspire!!
Mighty Din, Empower me to see all that the Sheikah may see,
By the Order of Nayru, shall I find the keys that I require.
May her wisdom unite, answer my plight, & bestow truth upon thee!

Farore's breath bestows new hope and meaning across the land'
As dark winding paths deliver me from sin, show me a secret hidden
And lo, faithfully I obey thy divine steps, I've yet to understand
Alas, no longer forsaken, the past connects, a hero, I awaken

Unfortunately, that is all I can say about this puzzle without actually giving you answers. Anyone who solves it gets 500,000 cookies from me. Oh, believe me. Without the poem, you'd be clueless as where to start and what to do.

I get what to do, but I don't know where to find the answers T.T

[Zelda Hunter]

What do you have to do? (In order for me to help you, I need to know what you think you have to do.)

[Zeruda]

Hmm... I really have no idea how to even begin to try to solve it. Is it an acutal puzzle that you put together, or is it some sort of riddle or what? This is waaaay to vague for me. DX

[Zelda Hunter]

I'll tell you a hint, then.

Look around the image. Do you notice anything missing? It should be obvious once you see some blank spots.

That didn't help anything. DX What I meant was, are we supposed to be guessing the meaning of the image? Are we supposed to find a hidden message? Are we supposed to fill in the two slits in the image? Are we supposed to fold the image up?

I have no idea what this is all about. D:

[Zelda Hunter]

There's a secret message within the riddle, but you must go from step to step to figure this out. I guess I should've mentioned that, in order to solve the puzzle, you have to solve it step by step—which means skipping a step is not an option.

Look around the words. Are you seeing anything missing from some of the words?

[Randomaximus]

I think I've found the answer to the riddle. Thanks for that massive hint you gave, Zelda Hunter. :D

The message at the bottom should read "OUR SAGE OF TIME ZELDA".

[mario64mario]

exactly. I was referring to the blank spots in the wind, but I didn't know where to find the letters to fill it in properly.

OOOOH LOL XD I had no idea we were supposed to be filling in letters. Isn't that more of a "fill in the blanks" than a puzzle? I didn't even notice that there were letters in those- I thought it was part of the design. Hurrhurrrhurr :B

[Zelda Hunter]

You still aren't done.

1. Collect Letters
2. Figure Out the Words
3. ....

The bottom part is like a maze. If you look closely, a line connects to every circle. It's like connecting the dots.

Even though it's more of a riddle than Zelda, it has ZELDA in it.

XD well at first I thought of it as one of those stupid newspaper jumbles, but the fact that you had to follow the passage to find the letters hidden in the diagram makes it a puzzle. It's so sad, I only figured out the letter under Shiek's silver makeup T.T

[Yusei]

I don't get this puzzle at all. Good luck to those with attention spans, however.

[Randomaximus]

Oooohhh, THAT'S what I was supposed to do...

And here I was, trying to get some hidden message from the letters that were connected in the bubbles in the wind. This makes so much more sense now.

Pretty dang clever, this.

[Zelda Hunter]

You can thank the maker of the puzzle. In his words, by memory, on MSN, he told me that he was sick of conventional puzzles, and decided to make his own, original one. Apparently, this one is quite decisive; no one on the forums achieved the answers—honestly, I didn't do it all the way, I had Axiomist's help.

Hm.... I guess I'll ask for a rating, and I'll tell Axiomist it. 1/10, what is the score?

[LucarioMaster]

Removed by request of Axiomist.

[Randomaximus]

I'd definitely give it a 10/10. I'd say it's worth many more points, but LucarioMaster got first dibs to that. XD

Like I said, it's a clever puzzle. An entertaining diversion that actually forces you to think about it. Kudos to the creator!

[Glutexo]

You really should have gotten permission from Ax.

I wish I could have been dedicated enough to figure it out on my own.
