Rollgoal is a Minigame in Twilight Princess.[1]

Location and Rules

Rollgoal is a Minigame invented by Hena.[1] It is located inside Hena's Hut in the Fishing Hole at Upper Zora's River. In order to play it, Link must go into first-person perspective and examine the game board located to the leftRight in the Wii version of the door after entering. It costs 5 Rupees per game and awards 10 Rupees for each level completed.[2]

Rollgoal involves tilting the game board to roll a glass ball over a path from the starting cup all the way to the goal cup, within the time limit, without falling off the path. In the original Twilight Princess, the game is played by using the Control Stick in the GameCube version,[3] or by tilting the Wii Remote in the Wii version.[4] In Twilight Princess HD, the game is played by tilting the Wii U GamePad when gyro controls are enabled, or by using Control Stick of the GamePad or Pro Controller at other times.[5] The camera angle can also be changed by 90 degrees at a time by tilting the C-Stick on the GameCube controller, the Control Stick on the Wii Nunchuk, or the Right Control Stick on a Wii U controller. If the ball falls off the path, Hena will ask if Link would like to try the level again for another 5 Rupees.[6]

There are eight board layouts in Rollgoal and eight difficulties, for a total of 64 levels, starting with level 1-1.[7] The first difficulty has a time limit of two minutes in the GameCube version, and three minutes in the Wii version and in Twilight Princess HD. When Link clears a level and receives his prize, Hena tells him that she'll make a new layout that will be ready the next time he enters Hena's Hut.[8] Each new layout features a longer track with more turns, or new elements such as wide turns and dips in the track. If Link is able to clear level 1-8, he will be awarded the right to use a Frog Lure during Fishing,[9] and Hena will increase the difficulty of Rollgoal the next time Link plays, moving it up to level 2-1.[10][11]

Each new difficulty features the same eight board layouts, but with a shorter time limit. Additionally, on even difficulty numbers, the layouts are mirrored. In the GameCube version, difficulty 2 has a time limit of one minute and 30 seconds, with each difficulty after that subtracting 10 seconds, culminating in a 30-second time limit for difficulty 8. In the Wii version and in Twilight Princess HD, each difficulty after the first has its time limit reduced by 20 seconds, with difficulty 8 having a 40-second limit. If Link manages to complete all 64 levels of Rollgoal, Hena will reward him with enough Rupees to completely fill his Wallet.[12] The next time Link enters Hena's Hut, he will be able to play the "special-edition" Rollgoal which offers no more prizes, but is free to play, has an increased time limit (three minutes on GameCube, four minutes on Wii and in Twilight Princess HD), and allows him to select any of the eight board layouts.[13]

Trivia

  • It is possible to cheat by rolling the ball over gaps; however, Hena will catch Link if he attempts to do so, forcing him to pay another 5 Rupees and start the level again.[14]
  • The Rollgoal game is in a slightly different position each time Link enters Hena's Hut, indicating that Hena or other customers play it frequently.
