In zelda there are multiple puzzles throughout the game.
the puzzles are really important parts of game play.
when a puzzle is completed successfully the player feels proud of them self and enjoys playing the game.
There a range of easy puzzles to hard ones.

easy puzzle: hit floor switch to open door
hard puzzle: hit block then within 30 seconds defeat 6 enemies then make it to the door before time runs out

these are puzzles for opening doors.
I was wondering what puzzle you would have in your game to get the player to open the door.
please be reasonable.

nothing like this
"Player has to kill 30 bosses in 22.25 minutes
and has to be facing north while player types "open" on his keyboard to gain access to the door.
oh by the way the door is locked."

again please be reasonable.

post your ideas!

Player has to step on 4 colored crystal switches in the order shown on a wall, while standing on a floor switch that's centered between them all.

so, something like:

Code: [Select]
         [r]
     [g] [o] [b]
         [y]
where r=red, g=green, o=floor, b=blue, and y=yellow. Then the door opens.

So your saying he stands on all four in order then stands on the one in the middle.
if so then great that would a be a simpler one.
unless you made it a little trick to figure out the order you push them in

He is saying you have to follow the order from the design on the wall.

Well, I liked OoA's puzzles, similar to what Moldorma described. You'd have a set of coloured blocks, then you'd have to jump over them to change their colour, or walk on them, which was pretty difficult. I also liked having to push those six-sided color blocks onto the right side on a panel.

Make it so its surrounded with other tiles that reset the puzzle, so youy have to jump to each of the tiles.

good idea.
also i thought of a similiar one.
maybe to get to the other end you can only step on certain ones or else door locks on the other end.
kinda like 700 goldeneye where you have to walk a certain path to get the golden gun

Gyah! I didn't mean a jumping puzzle. Haven't you ever played OoT? In the fire temple there's a crystal switch. You slash it and then something happens! So in my puzzle, Link stands on the floor switch in the middle, and then faces different directions to slash the colored crystal switches that are around him in a certain order. :P
