Part 28 - Going into a dungeon that really isn't a shortcut.  Par equipment is around this point and will save you some headaches.  The reward for this place is well worth the effort, and that moblin isn't kidding about the item, as it will serve you well for the rest of the quest

Part 29 - Tackling a couple more bonus dungeons that I could have done way long ago, but the prizes aren't really that useful, so it's ok to wait until now when I can just massacre these simple dungeons

[pixcalibur]

Part 30 - Finally moving forward.  First clearing out level 5, with the boss being much easier with a few more upgrades on hand.  Then making our way to level 6

[pixcalibur]

Part 31 - Level 6 is more of a labyrinth than anything.  Tricky about the first key given you'd normally need the lens to see that passage, but I'll show it off early on.  Not that it matters given the extra key I came in with.  Other than a few gimmicks, fairly linear level

Part 32 - the third of the bonus fairy dungeons.  Enemies are a bit tougher overall.  Fire boomerang is high yield for this place.  And the prize for this place is useful for the next couple levels

[pixcalibur]

Part 33 - King's Tomb is certainly bigger than a few screens now.  And just getting to the palace is a long walk in itself

 

Part 34 - Level 7 starts getting more serious.  Nayru's Love is a nice insurance option in case things get messy

[pixcalibur]

Part 35 - A bit more exploring before starting the long climb up towards level 8, having to go through lines of enemies normally seen in dungeons.  Level 8 itself is going to take a while to do as well.

[pixcalibur]

Part 36 - Level 8 will take a while to go through with two separate halves to explore with minefields of enemies to plow through.  Boots should be the first priority to get before doing more exploration deeper in the level

[pixcalibur]

Part 37 - Going through the other half of level 8.  Again, Nayru's Love helps out quite a bit in these messy rooms.

Part 38 - Have to get one more item before being able to get to level 9.  Time to go to Zelda 2's level 2.  Odd music choice given the really long bit of silence.

[pixcalibur]

Part 39 - This place has a few dead ends in it, so the main stuff is usually just before a dead end.  Other than that, not that tricky a place to go through

[pixcalibur]

Part 40 - Swimming for some extra items before moving onto the big level

[pixcalibur]

Part 41 - Stopping by level 9 first to pick up some goods that will help for another bonus dungeon

[pixcalibur]

Part 42 - Now we can take a tour of the Water Palace.  Fairly annoying if you come here early on, but with better equipment, it's actually pretty trivial.  Optional place that you pretty much need to clear out level 8 first to fully complete this place

[pixcalibur]

Part 43 - Picking up the last few scraps of items, mainly one painful heart piece and a useless wooden boomerang.  Then we can head back to level 9
