I'm replaying this and feel as if I'm in the same boat as well. I've done what I assume is a good chunk of Level 5 but to advance any further in the game feel as if I need the flute, the hookshot, the next arrow, something beyond what I have. There's a room in L5 with a yellow diamond trigger but neither the donut, wand item nor arrow triggers it, and I can't stand in the right spot such that I can hit it with reflected magic as the shooter won't activate if I stand too close to it. My last two major items were the donut (L2 boomer I presume) and the mirror shield.
Please disregard. My seed was fine. I found the lens somewhere else and it is...useful.
