Alright, I was wrong about Wolf Link being completely obsolete because in City in the Sky you need that form to... walk on some tightropes only to get the big key and an optional chest.

Argorok was also a little underused. It's present in the background often enough, and it does destroy one bridge forcing you to later come back with the double clawshot to get to the eastern (on Wii) tower of the dungeon, but that's really it for its rampaging. I did the entire boss fight without taking damage on the first try. I will say I wasn't expecting to need to press A to do a finishing blow on Argorok. That wasn't needed for Morpheel.

Of the 3 mirror shard bosses, I think Blizzeta was handled the best. It's the only fight which seemed to have anything to do with the power of the mirror, you end up fighting on a reflective surface and it's the only time you get a feeling that someone is in danger. The oocca supposedly are in danger from Argorok, but you can't talk to most of them. The Temple of Time was just filled with statues, spiders, spider-filled statues, and spider-crushing statues. Maybe the Darknut was alive?

Wolf Link appears to be completely useless now in City in the Sky, but that's OK because I've got double clawshots. Your clawshot becomes unequipped when you get it after a fairly interesting battle against a winged lizard-man, Aeralfos, who unfortunately uses a clawshot target for a shield. It's only after you get my favorite tool in the game that you can then get the compass it seems. I'm checking guides now and they seem to agree, so this isn't like Goron Mines where I just missed it.

I'd also like to point out that maybe the game doesn't do the best at ensuring the player knows that cuccos can be used to slow your descent. There's an optional mini-game, Falbi's Flight-by-Fowl which you technically must visit in order to leave lower Lake Hylia, but you don't have to talk to Falbi at all. So, your first mandatory cucco flight is Rusl's golden cucco (only because Midna refuses to help Wolf Link jump now and the gorge slightly changed). That was frustrating on my 1st ever playthrough. Now, I don't miss a single oocca-aided-jump in City in the Sky.
