Well, I will be.

I keep deciding that I wouldn't praise a quest before I finish it. Then I always eventually praise it and then mind having praised it when I reach near the end.

But I need to break my no-praise promise again, because I can't wait to tell all about that...

 

...how utterly awesome this quest is!

 

I'm just falling from one amazement to the other seeing all the great ideas realized through coherent functions that fit into the area, gameplay and each other.

This quest is just on the perfect track to have me list it among my favourite quests and I know not only 3-4 nowadays quests, my other favourites are on Freedom and C-Dawg level.

 

And if it's not a peak for you, Jamian, rather something to evolve further from, then I just can't even imagine your next quests...

 

Seriously, I thought this many heavy scripts would lag ZC down to useless extent, yet you even implemented my favourite Zelda feature, ever...

You are an inspiration for me now.

 

 

 

I just beat L2 and never needed help so far, but I wonder...

Should I be having a bigger wallet now? I still can hold only 5 rupees, but I keep getting red rupees since the very beginning and there are shops opening with 20-30-40 prices...

I am growing Gasha very diligently, currently I have some 3 being grown.

You can upgrade your wallet in the mysterious pond.

Aww, I had a good hint... I woulda said "What is the LAST thing you would ever do with your wallet? A fool and his money..."



But seriously, any advice on getting that second key in level 6??

Only 5 rupees? Did you not pick up the small wallet in your room at the beginning? :o It allows you to carry 100 rupees.

 

For the Goron Mines: look for bombable walls. One is marked, another can be deduced after seeing the bombed entrance from the other side.

I remember I was stuck looking for a key for a while, then found it in the room I just described… Just sitting there… 

 

I would say use your remote bombs every where, and you should find it… 

 

otherwise, just check back in the forum later, or ask Jamian directly via PM.

Any ideas about the clue? Can anyone help me on the way to level 7… Been to the Goron cave, but have no idea what to do… except have a clue from a stone… "There's a secret cave in a spot with outstanding soil."

 

OMG that cave with the water gun!

If you got the Water Gun, you're done with that part of the cave. Head to the Goron Elder in Goron Town. He's in that cave in north-central Goron Town, which I'm sure saying a lot of. Goron Town.

For that key-conveyor puzzle in level 6, play the song of conveyors until the key reaches the lock block. Link doesn't have to touch either of them. It's a pretty cute puzzle.

Level 7 is quite devious. I'm finding it hilariously annoying with all the bubbles and stuff that you need to repeatedly do to get anywhere. But that's okay. I just really wish there were a way to stun the bubbles. There are none that I am aware of. The Whisp ring isn't quite enough here.

I just got the L2 Map in Level 7, and am looking for a key now. Can't wait to keep going.

I'm in L6. Btw, have the deku stick, the magnet and the gauntlet some purpose outside the proper temples? I forgot at times that I have them xd The shovel is super useful as always and the ocarina is... extremely useful xd Too many songs. I found some of the purposes of the songs a bit odd (spikes??). There are many things with the songs that can be accomplished with simpler methods. For example, eight songs would have been a good number, fourteen songs are too much to memorize (opening the book a lot of times can be a bit tiresome). The secondary effect of the songs is a awesome touch, though.


I'll have to agree with you here when it comes to the items. It wasn't until level 7 I started asking myself "will I ever be using these items again?"

I believe you will in level 7. Being the final level, it kinda does what a final level does. Lol

But I was surprised how Jamian never found no use for the dungeon items outside of the dungeons they were found in.

I agree. So far, I've found one use for the Deku Stick outside of level 1. One use. And it was a good one, too. It was one of those "HEY WAIT A MINUTE!!!" moments. That was great.

You also have a single screen where the magnet comes into play. There are some screens that need the rock-lifting gauntlet too. I think only one. They're all on the same floor, too.

I am barely started in the Factory. I found only a single key, and the remote control bombs. took out the Turbodongos to the right of the entryway, and got  the Cueball ring... I need another key to progress. Can someone please point me in the right direction??

Also got stuck in Level 7. Missing a key for this locked door:

zelda023_zps617cb04b.png

Also got Secret March, Searched entire overworld for unmarked secrets and got just enough rupees for that Heart++ ring. Also got a couple of other ones, including ever rumored Power Milk ring. And that joke red ring. But I think that getting all rings is out of question mostly because getting 300 points in Whack-a-Leever minigame is pretty much impossible without a lot of luck with randomized placement of normal and forbidden Leevers.

Well alright then. I'm done.

Tips for players: Look for bombable walls, and dig everywhere in dungeons. The #1 reason why I ever got stuck was due to bombable walls.

First, head straight south two screens from the brown Basement, past the spike-crusher room and into the room beneath it. Solve the block puzzle to move a block to the lower right. Then go back up two screens, go east, use the conveyor song twice to make your way to the lower right of the screen, and head south. I think there's a key after that stretch of dungeon.
