Okay, I just got the ocarina back from the Skull kid in the very beginning of the game and i talked to the trader dude who teaches me a song. Anyway, my question is simple

Can I sorta explore and just rewind time whenever? Or is there a set # of rewinds?

I kinda wanna take my time and do side quests, but then I wonder WHY DO SIDE QUEST IF YOU LOOSE STUFF WHEN YOU REWIND TIME?!?!?

When you rewind time do you only loose ruppies and bombs, or is it all items?

Thanks and if you would please answer both ma ?'s

You lose all stack itens, like arrows and bombs. You can sabe rupees at the bank, if you do so you can get them back after rewinding.
And you can rewind as much as you want.

GREAT NEWS! >.> I was afraid I was gonna have to play in 30 min stretchs without being able to turn off the console

Anyway, I bought this new in a box today at Play N Trade for 15 bucks

It's the gold cart with a holographic 3D image on the cart and the box says its special edition, so I think I got a good deal

Also...my 1st  zelda game ever

Just one more question

When I rewind time, is the stuff I put down in my Bomber Notebook also reset?

Yeah if you complete a quest you keep the reward and the notebook says it's done though you can repeat the quest if you'd like

Yes, you can. I encourage you to because that game rocks my socks.

this is my favorite zelda ever, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. :D

Yeah, it's stunning, and I <3 the music ALOT

But I can't say it's my fav cuz its the only one ive ever played soooo...

Im getting Ocarina of Time next week too

GL OP let us know how you feel about game when you finish it

"...its the only one ive ever played soooo..."

You're lucky to be playing the Zelda games for the first time. I wish I could have that experience again.
