Ico Hints
How can I save my game here?
1 of 4: You can only save when Ico and Yorda reach a couch.
2 of 4: Is Yorda with you?
3 of 4: Until she is, you can't save. If you die, answer "yes" when you're asked if you want to continue, and you'll go back to the start of the current screen.
4 of 4: You won't find Yorda at all on this stage, so there are no save points. If you want to take a break, all you can do is pause your game by pressing START.
