Pretty awesome quest so far. But now I have a problem.

 

Is there a clue somewhere in the maze of Nakago?

Spoiler

Look for the compass north of start...

[Mitsukara]

I haven't seen this mentioned as a known issue, but I found if you are standing on the ladder, while the ladder is on top of lava, and you press the down arrow in the orcarina song menu, insta-death results.

Oops! Yeah, I didn't think to make the ladder not work when the Flute/Ocarina is active. It didn't really occur to me someone would use both at once, so I never thought to test it. If I release another update at some point I'll try to fix that.

The way it works is, when Link is on/in Lava in sideview, he gets drowned (like in quests where you can drown in water by stepping in it, except here it's activated by a script for various reasons, mostly involving making the water boots item work the way they do). It's supposed to only drown Link once, but since he's frozen by the flute playing, he doesn't change his animation properly until after he's un-frozen, so it happens over and over every frame. Or something along those lines, basically.

 

I recall having quite a few problems with lava not warping me out of it during my first run, but that was supposed to be fixed.

That was a different issue, where turning with the hammer interrupted Link's drowning effect and made you get drowned in the lava repeatedly. I think I fixed that one before release.

Two other bugs I've found out about since 1.2 that I'll fix if there's ever a 1.3:

1. The superball shooter apparently doesn't work on switches when it's fired straight down at them (diagonal bouncing and horizontal both work correctly though), causing a potential problem in Miyahon Palace,
2. The text for the music selector and for save points (new in 1.2) can overlap if you manage to stand on/near both at once.

However, I don't want to rush another update out too fast because more things might crop up and I don't want to spam updates. (Both times so far I hoped it would be the last update, so, third time's the charm, maybe?)

 

Any tips for dealing with the boss in North Palace?  After a fairly long walk there, it seems like occasionally my hammer does some damage, but then two hits from her and I'm dead.

Eep, that's not good. Is your Life level low? It might help to bring some life dolls and magic potions (for the life spell). As far as strategies that work well...

Spoiler

You can downward thrust on Volvagia's head, as long as you make sure to get back off before he goes back into the lava. I also recommend staying sort of towards the middle of the room, and then jumping out of the way of the fire before it hits you. The hammer can be of some help, but isn't the only way to do it. Bolas can also do decent damage, and might even hit Volvagia under the lava sometimes.

But enemies in general will get tougher in Hyrule, so it's good to get your life level up if you can. If you're short on experience, there's some hidden XP you might've missed in...

Spoiler

Calatia. There's a few different places you can use Zelda's water mail to go under water in sideview areas, to find hidden P-Bags. In particular...

Spoiler

1. Under the water with the two springs where you got the blue candle,
2. under the pond in the cave of the warrior who taught you the Spin Attacks,
3. beneath the bridge near Yokoi Palace,
4. down low in the waterfall cave that's hidden in the Town of Forward, where the L-1 Heart Ring was,
5. and beneath the diamond-shaped formation of rocks in West Calatia that had a heart container beneath them, in a cave with statues and lava and water.

You can also find some on islands out in the ocean surrounding Hyrule, though you may need to finish the North Palace to complete some of those areas. But if you find any islands or other docking places that don't seem to have anything on them, try the shovel, or maybe the bombs, or maybe even both.

 

One is in the swampy maze, i assume I need the hookshot to get it but have no idea where it is.

 The 2nd one is all the way to the west. Surrounded by rocks, and need raft to get it, but can't find any way around the rocks.

You don't need any new items from the west to get into those. However, the ways to the entrances are a bit roundabout. You should explore with the raft, and explore various caves around the overworld. You may also need to bomb something, if you can find any suspicious rocky areas.
 

 

Also where in the world is epona?

Spoiler

Inside the palace in the swamp.

 

 

Is there a clue somewhere in the maze of Nakago?

Do you mean the repeating maze path room with the zora? Maze paths can be solved by the compass. In Nakago, the compass can be found in...

Spoiler

The room one north of the entrance, by defeating the digdoggers and keese. To get there you want to approach from around one of the side routes around to the north, raise the water in the room where you got the water boots, and walk across that. However, you can also skip all that by doing some fancy shooting moving arrows around with the beetle to fight the digdoggers from across the fence, and then Link's grab beetle to pick up the compass afterwards.

But if you mean a different maze of some kind, then I may need more information about which area you mean.
 

 

EDIT AGAIN: Ok I did it. I beat the level too. Thanks for your help. I'm loving this game!

Thanks! It sounds like you're getting the hang of things. : )

Check the west coast.

Now just wait until you hit Marui and find your soul sucked out of your body.

 

Speaking of which...

I'm now in Marui Palace and I just got Epona's song. Not sure what to do next in here.

Ok, I got the candlebra. I tried using the red cane to create a block to push on to the switch in the entrance area, but I can't get to land right. I either push it too far or it lands just short of it.

Are you talking about the 2 switches up on the ledges? If so, try using the ladder.

Yeah, I was. Sorry I didn't think of that.

I was able to go to the room to the left. After a series of steps it allowed me to get another key that was surrounded by a stone barrier. There's a map that looks like I could get it with my spinner platform, but there's no track for it. I also went to the other room that connects to the entrance. It has a waterfall that I got to ride back outside to the entrance. lol. There's also these grey (sometimes blue) structures inside the temple. I noticed a lot of them outside too. Not sure what to do with them, but they are blocking me from using a keyhole in the temple.

[congo23]

Sorry - still stuck on the boss on North Palace.  I was given the hint that using the downward stab while jumping would be effective.  I've tried that and quite literally the only thing that happens is that I make contact with her and die after two attempts.  Nothing I do seems to damage this creature.

[Sparkster]

I think I've beaten Nakago WITHOUT the compass. OH NO! I thought I have the compass. Silly me.

Have you tried using the beetle for the map? Are the structures diamond shaped, or prism shaped? If diamond shaped, you need an item from further in the temple. If prism shaped (look like they're coming up from the ground), try Epona.

The bola is a slow, albeit safe way to kill her. The Somaria block can block her fire if her fire comes into contact with it, so try using that as a shield.

Well, good job figuring out the maze path. Did you place the crystal at the end?

[faronheights]

Thanks for the help on Maze Palace. I've now made it to the final dungeon of the game and are stuck on two puzzles.

 

Both are in the northwest quadrant of the map. The first is the chamber just beyond that room with all the Mirror Wizzrobes in it. It has a maze of those special blocks and what looks like some interesting possibilities, like a but I can't even get started in the room, since the blocks cannot be pushed.

 

The other one is at the start of the path leading to the northwest. Here, there is a wall of those special negating blocks, a single blue ice tile and Impa telling me that "Variety is the spice of items," which makes no sense at all to me.

 

As before, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I think you're talking about the monster before the boss.  I tried both of these things, and the former did no damage, while the latter was completely unable to block her fireballs.

For the room past the mirror wizzrobes: Remember than you can change the direction of fired wand magic by holding B and pressing directions, and that the beetle can carry most weapons.

For the variety is the spice of items room: Try a thrown spicy food.

Oh, you mean Agahnim/GANNNON/that weird wizzrobe guy? Try reflecting his magic back at him with the sword.
