- 1st meeting with Donmore in level 3: "I believe the wall south of this room has a hollow wall." I think that should be "I believe the room south of this room has a hollow wall."
- Nico's house after finishing level 3: "Link: Okay, though I've never had a girlfriend before, because my my grandpa would..." - The comma after "before" isn't needed and "my" is said twice.

Also, I'm noticing a lot of what I presume to be references to Eye of the Moon added. People talking about Link statues that appeared outside of Hyrule, or the boy in Autumn Town mentioned that his dad got invited to a fishing tournament somewhere outside Hyrule. Are these EotM references, or am I misinterpreting?

All in all, it's even better than it was before (which is hard to do, 'cuz it was pretty sweet before). I THINK that I saw a string issue in Niko's post-level-3 string, where in one string she used a word (I think it was "my", but don't quote me on that), and then started the next string with the same word, effectively doubling it. No big deal, but I thought I should point that out.
(Oh, and I'm playing in 2.5beta, no crippling bugs to report so far. Just got to level 4 about 5 minutes ago)

Thank you, glad you like it better.
It was meant to be that way actually, but I fixed it so that activate the path from the right side without the boomerang.
Fixed. Thank you!
I guess a few people might argue this isn't an issue, but the correct form would actually be, "I had better," or "I'd better," as "had better" is mainly used for recommendations or warnings. (Link is warning himself to return home before he is introduced to the paddle, again.)
After looking it over. I think I will keep that one in. But I understand what you are saying, but I think it is correct either way. So if anyone disagrees, I can look it more over, but I think it should be fine. Thanks though.
Done... j/k
Thank you Shane!

edit - When the screen scrolls, did you forget the top of this door?

Double Fixed!
Location: Palm Island inside the house where you get the key that opens up the way to level one.
String error: "My son Ken must have it"
Correction: Change "must have" to "probably has." What the string says is an informative on where the key to level 1 lies. It lies with the son of whoever this string belongs to. Also, though I don't think you even have to correct this sentence. It just to me makes more sense if you replace "must have" with "probably has" thats all. icon_shrug.gif
That's weird, I have him named Red, not Ken. I looked in the game, and I didn't see Ken... I am hoping you aren't playing the old version of my game littlelink91. Did you download the game from this thread? Anyways, I updated it. Thank you.
String error: "Can I save a bunch of money of my raft insurance by"
Correction: Change "of" to "on"
Fixed. Actually, nevermind, you are playing it right... I can't find anything with Ken in though... Am I going crazy? lol, I am a going to assume that you wrote down the name wrong. Hopefully... lol
String error: "This week i'm doing a special on the various fairy -- (sentence doesn't finish and moves straight to another one)
Correction: Add in "locations" or "fountains" after fairy.
Location: Anna the psychic sister
String error: "Thats all of that reading"
Correction Change "of" to "for"
Fixed and Fixed Thank you!
EDIT: I think "It isn't as long as it sounds." would make more sense after receiving the directions from the mayor, but that might just be me.
Fixed the "Happened" And the empty speech box, can't, because to fix it because 1. it is just the way Slash works, but to fix it as in do an "Event" would require another Dmap, but I am maxed out. :/ But the Mayor's thing: He already says that after the directions are given. Did I miss something, because it looks good on that one...
And I am going through the others.
Exactly, it is so players has more of a clue on what to do. I color coated a lot more things in the game too if you notice. So you will know what item to use and where to use them. Just because the puzzle should be the puzzle, not just a random guessing game.
"anicent" should be "ancient"
"As a reward, the Hero gave him, the White Sword." The second comma is unnecessary.
Fixed and Fixed. w00t w00t!
It was actually meant to be that way. It is Link being a dork.
Let me ask a dumb noob question.
I didn't now about this till now
so has it really been out for five years now?
There are a lot of great quests here, so it is easy to have one lost in the shuffle. But glad that you will play the game. Let me know how you like it.
Now some of these may not even seem like string errors, but are more as being suggestions with what you could do with the string attached.. You'l see what I mean when you read some of them. Keep in mind I don't have portions of some of the strings, so if you wanted, you'd have to open up and check the strngs from Z-quest in order to get a better idea at why I make some of the suggestions I do. Heck even I could contradict my own suggestions though, with what little detail I have the strings summarize. Anywho onto what i've noticed.
Location: Donmore's Stump
String error: "I risked my life to get here, and thats the thanks I get??"
Correct: Change "thats" to "this" and add "is" after "this"
Perfect, thanks!
Location: Donmore's Stump
String error: "It maybe you see the future"
Correct: Add in "that" after "maybe"
Fixed
Location: Mayor Wraith
String error: "And as a reward, I demand you that you give it to me!"
Correct: "And as a reward, I demand that you give it to me."
Fixed
Location: Mayor Wraith after second triforce piece.
String error: "Need sleepy"
Correct: Change "sleepy" to "sleep"
It is actually meant to be.
Location: Statue event meeting Hero of Courage
String error: "get triforce pieces"
Correct: Add "the" after "get" Unfortunately I don't have the full sentence so...you'l have to judge when you see it.
Fixed
Location: I believe the same place. Hero Of Courage
String error: "I've heard legends of the wind"
Correct: Change to "i've heard the legends of the hero of winds." Or something like that to make it more understandable.
Thank you, but I am going to leave it, as it is more of the tale of the Wind.
Location: Spirit Palace spirit battle intro
String error: "say that I must prove that i'm the hero"
Correct: If I remember correctly, this is Link talking to the spirit about how some say he must prove that he is the hero of hyrule. Now if i'm remembering this correctly, then the string itself to me doesn't really flow so well. So i'd just recommend that he says something like "say that i'm the hero destined/chosen to save hyrule." Or something like that. Otherwise keep it the way it is. icon_thumbsup.gif
I agreed. Fixed
Location: Boss intro Spirit Palace
String error: we've warned you and warned you"
Correct: Change it so it says something like "we've warned you numerous times already, yet you still persist as if your some chosen hero or something." (Lol) You don't have to do this. Its just a suggestion. Though to me that would sound cool. icon_cool.gif
Agreed again, fixed
Location: Royal cave meeting the princess the first time.
String error: "Ever since my Mother want missing"
Correct: Lowercase the m in mother, and change "want" to "went"
Fixed
Location: Royal cave meeting the princess the first time.
String error: "I seen how you are connected to your dreams"
Correct: Change "I" to "I've"
Fixed
Location: Royal cave meeting the princess the first time"
String error: "Can I get a a picture with you?"
Correct: "Can we take a picture together?"
I like this one the way it is.
Location: Season Isle meeting the owl
String error: Owl I believe says though twice in one sentence.
Correct: Change it so there is only one though.
I only saw one, but I did have "anyway" and "though" in the same sentence, so I fixed that.
And then comes Tybug on Season Isle but does he talk like this just because?
"Speak I human had well, but understand must you. Golden thingy do I from adventurers with ??. Me crush then like bug."
Yea...if thats just the way he talks then leave it I guess, but otherwise, you could improve the strings Tybug says.
Yeah, he talks like that.
Location: Spirit Rangers on Season Isle
String error: "Well since it took me a couple of days to get these pieces, I am not going to just hand them over you"
Correct: Add in "to" after "over" and if you want, you could rephrase it a little.
fixed
Location: Spirit rangers on season Isle
String error: "This is the day when you die"
Correct: "This is the day that you die" "This is the day you die" "This is the day you finally die"
fixed
Location: Shop island in Hyrule Field.
String error: "Haven't had a customer in years!! We you came to the right place,"
Correct: Change "We" to "Well"
fixed

This ones location is in one of the statues during one of the reality dreams Link has. I don't know if it even is a bug, but after triggering a secret which I believe made the bridge in this screen appear, this rug became colored. If thats the way its supposed to be then leave it. Otherwise if you could keep it so it doesn't become colored that would be cool? Yea. NEXT!
Yeah, it is supposed to turn colored

Okay so this one might be a little hard to explain. But if you look, you notice that the grass was cut by my sword. When I cut the grass at a particular point on the right side of the screen I somehow cut one tile of grass on the left while being on the right. I don't know if its a bug, but if you could fix it, that'd be cool I guess...
Yeah, nothing I can do about that one, that is just the way ZC is programmed. I am thinking you are playing it in 2.10. Hopefully they fixed this in 2.5 otherwise, we should post that in their beta bug thread.

This is something unusual I found. It might be a bug. But maybe not. Okay so let me explain. This statue is set as a trap which takes you to another room filled with blue wizzrobes and red flame ones which shoot fire around them if you happen to walk in the spot where the statues gaze is directed.. Before your taken to that room though the eye on this statue lowers and then one step further should take you to that room once the eye is lowered. I found a way around this though and something weird happened. I got to the statue to the point where its eye was lowered, and then I hookshotted to the nearest tree and somehow avoided the warp which is supposed to take you to that other room. When I did this, I slashed at all the grass around me and they showed no under layer. Just the grass itself remained. Its weird like I said. If you do happen to go near the middle though after you hookshotted across, you will be warped to that room where all the wizzrobes are. So yea..thats another find I found.
Wow, I see exactly want happened, and I fixed it. Thank you.


Okay for this one it was after the 8th triforce dream event Link has. You awake in Donmores Cabin in your bed and Donmore isn't around. From there if you choose to end game and click the continue this is where you'l end up. You can only move left which takes you back to the title of what chapter your currently on, and then suddenly you awaken in your bed once again where is then you realize you just had deja vu. I don't know if this sort of thing happens in every chapter, but if it does that could be bad. So if you guys could check and end game/continue at a point after Link awakens from bed after one of his nightmares then that would be cool because then we could see if this sort of thing that I got happens in other chapters as well. I am currently on chapter 8 so I can't go back to see if such a thing could happen icon_shrug.gif so yea sorry I guess..
Wow, I put the continue wrong. Fixed

As for this one, my progress on this game has come to a halt do to some mysterious blockage on the lower part of this screen. Shoelace I don't know if the blue like stuff at the bottom of the screen is supposed to be there, but i've tried everything I can on this stuff and I can't move anywhere else besides the bottom part of the screen. If there is some kind of secret i'm missing which removes this blockage could you let me know? And if there is no secret, is it a bug? Otherwise if I do find something i'll edit this post and say I found my way through and am moving on.
That's what I get for not testing something at the end. That was one of the last things I added. I fixed it, (it was a layering problem, and I am going to reload the game on my website, so if you redownload the file, and just replace it, it should fix it.
Holy Cow littlelink. Thank you! I commented in bold, thank you a bunch!
1st meeting with Donmore in level 3: "I believe the wall south of this room has a hollow wall." I think that should be "I believe the room south of this room has a hollow wall."
Nico's house after finishing level 3: "Link: Okay, though I've never had a girlfriend before, because my my grandpa would..." - The comma after "before" isn't needed and "my" is said twice.
Fixed!
Also, I'm noticing a lot of what I presume to be references to Eye of the Moon added. People talking about Link statues that appeared outside of Hyrule, or the boy in Autumn Town mentioned that his dad got invited to a fishing tournament somewhere outside Hyrule. Are these EotM references, or am I misinterpreting?
Fixed the Blazing Inferno bug.
Also yes, there are a lot of references to my future games. But can't spoil to much of that, but yes, you are interpreting a lot of good things.
All in all, it's even better than it was before (which is hard to do, 'cuz it was pretty sweet before). I THINK that I saw a string issue in Niko's post-level-3 string, where in one string she used a word (I think it was "my", but don't quote me on that), and then started the next string with the same word, effectively doubling it. No big deal, but I thought I should point that out.
(Oh, and I'm playing in 2.5beta, no crippling bugs to report so far. Just got to level 4 about 5 minutes ago)
You are welcome.
Also, I reuploaded the quest with all of these fixes, same download. So if you wanted to, just replace the file with this one!
Can't wait until you guys hit the extra level, I want to see if you guys like it (but it is for challenge players, so you will die a lot)

- In a cave in the Golden Swamp where a guy mentions the white sword: "legendry" should be "legendary".
- In Donmore's Cabin after level 4: "Link: I don't like ghosts. Can't I just call the Ghostbusters." There should be a question mark there.
- In the Autumn Town library: "anicent" comes up again in the southwest book. In the same book, I don't think cyclops is spelled with an e.
- North of that book: "...that hold a lot mystery." I think that should be "...that hold a lot of mystery."
- Meeting with the Hero of Winds: "We are one in the same...". Replace "in" with "and".

Double post, but this should merge with the last one so eh. I found a biggie. It might just be one of those 2.10-2.5 compatibility bugs, but I can't go from swimming to climbing any of the vines that reach down into the water. Which means (I think) the suit delivering sidequest is unfinishable.
Edit: And now for a question. How do I get into the windmill now?

After looking it over. I think I will keep that one in. But I understand what you are saying, but I think it is correct either way. So if anyone disagrees, I can look it more over, but I think it should be fine. Thanks though.
Alrighty. "Better" by itself is just normally used to compare, (ex. "He is better than Julie.) while "had better" is used for the aforementioned situations. I don't think there are any real exceptions, but I guess it doesn't matter either way. Besides, it's not like everybody everywhere has perfect grammar, so I guess it fits either way.

Edit: And now for a question. How do I get into the windmill now?
Swimming to climbing vines... So problems to go from water to slow walk tiles. Is the same on Autumn Town vines as well as Hyrule field, or is it certain ones? If so we need to let the 2.5 developers know this!
Edit: just read your next post. So two of them work. Which ones work and which ones don't I am just going to check if they are designed differently.
And as for the windmill. You need the cucco book as well as the flippers.

Yea thats probably just a 2.1-2.5 compatibility bug, because I was able to deliver all the suits for the side quest and get the red tunic. I'm using 2.1.2
Glad to see the bugs are fixed Shoelace. Thanks for fixing the string errors/bugs. Well done.
INTRODUCTION:
Again Shoelace, some of these may not even seem like string errors, so when you read my corrections for the strings, note that they are just suggestions. You'l see what I mean once you read some of them.
String errors:
Location: Jesus's Casa
String error: "I never seen you in this section of Citadel before"
Correct: Add in "have" after "I" at the beginning of the sentence.
Location: Temple of time after 8th triforce piece
String error: "I want to extend my thanks, not only on the behalf of the whole"
Correct: Get rid of the first have in this sentence so it says this instead "I want to extend my thanks, not only on behalf of the whole"
Location: Links dream after 8th triforce piece
String error: "I am the late Zelda Hyrule"
Correct: Add in "of" after Zelda so it says this. "I am the late Zelda of Hyrule"
Location: Links dream after 8th triforce piece
String error: "Because he throught you'd revive Ganon the best."
Correct: Change "throught" to "thought"
Location: Links dream after 8th triforce piece
String error: "Same who sacrificed me"
Correct: Add in "person" after "same" so it says this. "Same person who sacrificed me"
Location: The Suit Store
String error: "and Jerry who is in the southwestern part of hyrule field"
Correct: Change "southwestern" to "southeastern" because Jerry lives in the southeastern part of Hyrule.
Location: Cave of Ordeals second truth stone
String error: "a lot of responsibly for a kid my age..."
Correct: Change "responsibly" to "responsibility so it says this. "a lot of responsibility for a kid my age..."
Location: Cave of Ordeals 3rd truth stone
String error: "This Donmore gave me so much rupees to research this..."
Correct: add in "guy" after Donmore, change "much" to "many", and add in "just" after rupees so it says this. "This Donmore guy gave me so many rupees just to research this..." Also for this string error I had the word "rupees" capitalized in the quote. I am not entirely confident in that being what it is in the actual string so if you could check to see if it is capitalized, lowercase it and it should be good...Sorry...
Location: Cave of Ordeals 5th truth stone
String error: "But I didn't question it, my priority was the pricness."
Correct: Change "pricness" to "princess"
Location: Cave of Ordeals 5th truth stone
String error: "needed to protect her at all cost"
Correct: Change "cost" to "costs"
Location: Cave of Ordeals 7th truth stone:
String error: "A destraction for what?"
Correct: Change "destraction" to "distraction"
Location: Cave of Ordeals 8th truth stone:
String error: Just had a dream where there was destruction everywhere"
Correct: Make the string more reflective by adding in an "I" before just so the explanation of the string shows how it was he/she that was having a dream where there was destruction everywhere.
Location: Cave of Ordeals 8th truth stone
String error: they were circling the tower with such speed and strength, I never seen anything like it"
Correct: Add in "have" after "I"
Location: Cave of Ordeals...I don't know what stone this is..I think its the 8th truth stone.
String error: "I could just sense a huge evil power"
Correct: Get rid of "just" so it says this. "I could sense a huge evil power"
Location: Ganons Tower
String error: "Don't be too long in bringing me your piece!"
Correct: Maybe have it say this instead, "Don't make me wait too long, I want your piece!"
Location: Ganons tower deku shrub shop
String error: "These are some items that you most likely need when fighting him"
Correct: Change "you" to "you'l"
Location: Ganons Tower - Ganon
String error: "But this time is different"
Correct: Change "is" to "it's"
Location: Eagle Hell Hero of Courage
String error: And it's only a taste of what you have in store
Correct: Change it so it says "its only a taste of whats in store for you"??
Location: Eagle Hell Hero of Courage
String error: "It was a mistake of what I did"
Correct: Rephrase so it says something like "It was a mistake I did that caused yata yata yata" heh
Location: Eagle Hell Hero of Courage
String error: "powerful that he can do everything himself"
Correct: add in "by" after "everything"
Location: Eagle Hell Hero of Courage
String error: "Sorry I get caught up and I wanted to be quick."
Correct: Rephrase this so it says something like this. "Sorry I got caught up in the matter of things and I only wanted to be quick" or... "Sorry I got caught up in the matter of things. I only wanted to be quick."
Location: Eagle Hell Lunaphr
String error: I thank you from the bottom of my heart. However, I must warn"
Correct: I believe however should be tied together with the sentence you have before the however used in this string. So it's used like this. "I thank you from the bottom of my heart, however, I must warn" I believe that would make more sense.
Location: Eagle Hell Lunaphr
String error: Don't go be trying to be a hero."
Correct: "Don't try and be a hero" Don't go and try being a hero"
Location: ?? After taking the warp from Eagle Hell to the new ending.
String error: "Why else would this Map"
Correct: Lowercase the M in "Map" within the string.
Location: ?? After taking the warp from Eagle Hell to the new ending
String error: "I know the power from it courses through your body"
Correct: Change "from" to "of"
Location: ?? After taking the warp from Eagle Hell to the new ending
String error: "Why would I waste my time getting the Triforce only to"
Correct: Lowercase the T in "Triforce" within the string.
Bugs:?

So what happened here is after Ganon got done talking in his long speech thats supposed to intimidate Link, I managed to get across the floor tiles that fall and stand next to Ganon! I knew from experience that the floor tiles give in and your supposed to fall/warp through the floor. So knowing this, I attempted to get across the tiles that are mean't to fall and stand next to Ganon as a reward. Congratulations to me! Thats exactly what I accomplished! ^^ Whats supposed to happen is your supposed to fall through the floor and are taken to the final battle of the game. Well, I dodged the hole in the floor, but even by doing this I still get warped to the final battle of the game. So that must mean it doesn't matter where you stand, the scene is just supposed to look like your falling through the floor. maybe thats all it is. So Shoelace, maybe have the tiles fall a little faster or something? Otherwise leave it!

This is part of the ending of Hero of Dreams. The normal ending. Nothng looks strange in this screen shown, but I did something rather particular in this screen. You see how there are 2 underlayers to bushes in this screen? Well...they're there because I CUT THEM!
Thats all for the string errors and bugs that I have found. I've finished the game, and have completed the extra dungeon within the Temple of Courage. So far I am in complete awe. Dang Shoelace...DANG!!! SERIOUSLY! WHAT AN AWESOME GAME! I LOVED THIS!! Beta testing this update of the Hero Of Dreams has been FTW so far! Shoelace, bravo! You pwn noobs and your skills of Z-quest are leet and I can't...AHHH...I can't tell you how much i've enjoyed beta testing your game so far! Its wonderful! I loved the new ending, and i'm so excited right now! REALLY! I am so excited. Congrats on 5 years of The Hero Of Dreams, congrats on making an addition to the Hero Of Dreams, congrats on everything you have done with Zelda Classic, congratulations to you Shoelace. Great job! I loved your additions to this game. The extra dungeon? HOLY @%$# that was hard! IT WAS REALLY TOUGH! ESPECIALLY THIS ROOM!
There were 3 Super Death Knights, 4 White Wizzrobes, and an 8-10 headed Fire Gleeok in this room. I repeat. There were 3 Super Death Knights, 4 White Wizzrobes, and an 8-10 headed Fire Gleeok in this room. Holy...FRICK!
And the funny experience I had with that room? I survived with half a heart!
Now i'm going to share with you a couple thoughts about how I view your extra dungeon overall. Eagle hell was quite original to me. Really! I didn't expect it. It was really neat, it had clever puzzles, and was quite challenging at the same time! I enjoyed it! I also liked the overworld leading up to Eagle Hell. It was both puzzling and difficult due to routing your way towards Eagle Hell, but Shoelace, you clearly give the player some advantage at leading them to where it is with your really small hints gesturing out into the open that give the player an idea of where they're supposed to be going. It was cool! Its totally you. I like your style, you do a fabulous job telling stories, and your quite the Zelda creator. Nuff said. I can't wait to see more from you in the future. Its gonna be great! I KNOW IT!
