Have to say, not a big fan of on-rails tutorials that go longer than 10 minutes. Having information given is OK, but I resent having to be told to do what I feel is obvious, and I appreciate having the opportunity to familiarize myself with the game/interface on my own pace, even if I make a few newbie mistakes.
The block that covers the shortcut from the forest village to the lava cave, is it supposed to reset it's position after you leave that particular map screen?
