This is my very first quest. I know it uses the Classic Tileset, so please don't complain about the graphics. Half a year of effort went into this quest, so I would like a few of you to try it out.It has 9 levels.

I designed the first 7 levels of this quest to be easy, but levels 8 and 9 jack up the difficulty. Don't worry; I can beat this without cheating in less than an hour.

UPDATE: I realigned Zelda Falls with the rest of the overworld, thus fixing the Level 1 warp bugs.

UPDATE 2: All this time, and it never occurred to me that I didn't give Link any magic containers! That's fixed, so you can get into level 9 now.

The year is 2006, although it would be impossible to tell if you looked only at Hyrule. To celebrate his 14th birthday, Link decided to go on a trip to the Mushroom Kingdom. It wasn't much of a vacation. He ended up helping Mario's daughter, Karen, foil one of Bowser's plans. After his quest ended, Link was anxious to see the princess of his own land, so he quickly returned home. To his surprise, Zelda invited him to her zecret hideout, Zelda Falls, in the northwest corner of Hyrule. Link was only too happy to go, but he really should have brought more than Rupees and a shield; waiting for him was yet another adventure.

Upon his arrival in Zelda Falls, Link walked through the waterfall to Zelda's cave. She presented him with a new wooden sword for his birthday. "As if I don't already have a million of these," he thought to himself as he left.

Less than a minute later, Link discovered a small underground palace. It was infested with enemies, but Link made short work of them. Strangely enough, Zelda was waiting for him in a room nearby. "You have to help me Link!" she told him. Apparently, Zelda's younger sister, Miriam, had recently gone missing. Link suspected Ganon at work, but Zelda insisted that she just wandered off. After they left the palace, Link and Zelda set out to find a young girl dear to them both...

Level 1 cheat: ZOMGIF
You want the level 2 cheat? You tell them Exate.

If something on the map seems suspicious, blow up a wall or something!
There are 3 heart containers in the overworld. The white sword is in Level 4 and the magic sword is in Level 7.
The number of hearts you need to fire a sword beam goes down with each sword and the beam gets much stronger!
Pay attention to what Zelda says in Level 5.
And above all, remember that the quest doesn't have a password.

Me, of course.
Guys who pointed out my mistakes, you know who you are.
Radien for his chain tile and The Satellite for the sideways Zelda in Level 9.
All of the MIDI's I used (except maybe the generic dungeon theme, I fount that in one of Exate's quests) are from VGMusic, although they also appear in other quests.
Exate, Shoelace, and Cast Chaos for setting a bar I hope to reach one day.
