Progress: About to take on Level 8 in Standard Mode, but right now going through the Let's Play Tower Dungeon.

 

Problem: I'm stuck in a room with a whole bunch of different colored mirrors, a switch, and 2 tablets. 1 of the tablets mentions there's no wand in the quest and to do "Random Stuff on Suspicious Spots" which is not very helpful. So what do I do to get past the room?

That oddly color push block in the top right looks suspicious. Almost as if it was a switch...

When you used your lens of truth and saw the fedora appear you will hear a sound effect. Write down what sound effect you heard and what screen you are on. Each sound effect is related to an item you have. When you have all 14 sound effects written down and the screen number you heard them on, go to the gate and play those sound effects in a certain order. 

 

Thanks. I got it open now. Just can't beat the boss. Lol

[CyberGamer1539]

The boss of the LP Tower is pretty awesome, especially when a special someone decides to make an appearance... 

 

Overall, the update is SO AWESOME!!! Like if you did the same thing to the original, I would die. Except that would probably take forever, so you don't have to...

That's only part of the puzzle. I'll give you a few hints.

MEGASECRET SPOILERS!!!!

1) The list refers to screen numbers in the dark world.
2) Remember, you need to tap "the eye" three times... How does this relate with the above point?
3) You need to do this on both the Light and Dark worlds, but given you only got the list for the former, what about the Light World?
4) Do the task in ORDER.

Hopefully I gave you an idea without giving too much info...

[CyberGamer1539]

Oh, I think I'm starting to get it now... That's one clever puzzle!

I just started playing this, and I'm loving it so far. I started on Legacy Mode, and Anarchy difficulty, but then after level 1, I had to put the crack pipe down, and switch to Hard. I used an LP weapon (Dimentio's). I'm currently in Level 3, and I discovered the Ultimate Test Dungeon. I'd like to complain about its difficulty real quick, while we'r e on the subject. There's no way I brought this upon myself, it's bad game deserrn killin' mah 'mersions. They terk mah 'mersions!!

 

I really like the writing in this quest, and you did a good job with the humor, and general construction of the strings. One question, how easy is it to set up a "yes/ no" system? Does it require tango.zh, or is there another way. I've always wanted to have multiple answer scenarios, but never really got serious about it.

 

I am also loving the overworld design. The gradients used in the mountain tiles is a really nice touch, and it works very well in most areas. My only complaint is the black used in some areas of the overworld is a bit much, and makes it look dark (mostly in the crater area). I like the dungeon design, and music choices so far too. Konami Grove was also pretty clever, not to mention one of the neatest Classic maps I've ever seen. I should have guessed the maze path, but wasn't thinking about it, and once I found the guy in the cave who told me, I felt silly. This quest has a really nice vibe to it. It all gels together well, and it doesn't take itself too seriously, and pokes fun at a lot of ZC stuff. On top of that, it seems really solid so far.

 

This is great so far, and I'll be back with a full review when I (eventually, and hopefully) finish this.

Well, legacy mode exists for a reason, but yeah, you brought this upon yourself.

One question, how easy is it to set up a "yes/ no" system? Does it require tango.zh, or is there another way. I've always wanted to have multiple answer scenarios, but never really got serious about it.

While tango.zh can certainly help, it's not required. It's actually easy to do, relatively speaking. For example, here's a snippet of code used for a yes/no box from the shop script of Bananas:

if(Game->Counter[CR_RUPEES]+Game->DCounter[CR_RUPEES]>=price){
					DrawPrice(this->X+pricexoffset, this->Y+18, price);
					MessageWithName(STR_BUYQUESTION, Name);
					WaitNoAction();
					int Yes[] = "Yes";
					int No[] = "No";
					int CYes = 1;
					int CNo = 6;
					while(!Link->PressA){
						if(Link->PressLeft||Link->PressRight){
							Game->PlaySound(69);
							if(CYes==1){
								CYes = 6;
								CNo = 1;
							}
							else{
								CYes = 1;
								CNo = 6;
							}
						}
						Screen->DrawTile(6, 24, 8, TIL_NAMEBOX, 5, 3, 7, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, true, 128);
						Screen->DrawString(6, 64, 16, FONT_GBLA, 6, -1, TF_CENTERED, Name, 128);
						Screen->DrawTile(6, 24, 32, TIL_BUYQUESTION, 13, 3, 7, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, true, 128);
						Screen->DrawTile(6, 152, 8, TIL_NAMEBOX, 5, 3, 7, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, true, 128);
						Screen->DrawCharacter(6, 192, 16, FONT_GBLA, 1, -1, -1, -1, 47, 128);
						Screen->DrawString(6, 172, 16, FONT_GBLA, CYes, -1, TF_CENTERED, Yes, 128);
						Screen->DrawString(6, 212, 16, FONT_GBLA, CNo, -1, TF_CENTERED, No, 128);
						DrawPrice(this->X+pricexoffset, this->Y+18, price);
						WaitNoAction();
					}
					Game->PlaySound(65);
					if(CYes==6){
						item itm = CreateItemAt(itemid, Link->X, Link->Y);
						itm->Pickup = IP_HOLDUP;
						Game->DCounter[CR_RUPEES]-=price;
						for(int i=0; i<10||Link->Action==LA_HOLD1LAND||Link->Action==LA_HOLD2LAND; i++){
							DrawPrice(this->X+pricexoffset, this->Y+18, price);
							WaitNoAction();
						}
					}
					else{
						for(int i=0; i<10; i++){
							DrawPrice(this->X+pricexoffset, this->Y+18, price);
							WaitNoAction();
						}
					}
				}

I got past the room with the different colored mirrors in the Let's Play Tower, but now I'm stuck with a puzzle in a room with a guy that says "This reminds me of a puzzle" when you talk to him and tiles that change color when you hit them with the hammer. How are you suppose to complete the puzzle?

[Russ]

Try talking to the space behind each waterfall. One might have a secret hint for what you can do in that room.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

So Legacy Mode is not intended for first time players. It's not a second tier of hard mode. It's where I quarantined all the dungeons that I would've removed in the update were I not against the idea of removing dungeons. All of them have replacement versions in Standard Mode that are new content and much better designed. Legacy Mode only exists for returning players who for whatever reason enjoyed the old bonus dungeons. I thought I'd made this clear enough with uninviting terms such as "Old dungeons" and "Unfair difficulty" but I guess I'd better add another warning now that two people have gotten it mixed up.
 
 

My only complaint is the black used in some areas of the overworld is a bit much, and makes it look dark (mostly in the crater area).

I used black there to show depth. It's not just a regular old crater, whatever impacted it (final dungeon) pierced all the way through the upper plate and fell all the way down to the world below. I could've tried to show the world below underneath the various holes in the ground, but palette limitations and scaling issues made that impossible. A major goal with this overworld was I wanted to design a world with a lot of depth. That's where I got the idea to have a world with two layers to it, one stacked above the other.

Damn it, why did i picked Legacy Mode? I thought it just added the olds dungeons and if i didn't picked that mode there would be no dungeons in their places.

[Locos_Docos]

I ran into a huge problem that's pretty much killed any further reason for me to play.  When I quit playing the game last night, I had saved at the beginning of the Pitfall dungeon.  When I started playing today, I went through the dungeon wondering why my sword was doing crap damage.  Figured that was the gimmick of the dungeon, played using the Hammer and the Arrows instead.  After beating it and got the L4 sword from it, I was still doing the same amount of damage I was doing in the dungeon because Link was swinging the L1 sword!  I didn't want to keep it, so I just selected Retry and undid the dungeon.  Even though I still had the graphic of the L3 sword on the A button,

he still was using the L1 sword.  How did this happen?

 

Edit: Before posting this, I did a few random things like closing ZC and opening it, making a new quest or two of original Zelda and LQftH2 before deleting them, accessed the file I had one more time and now I'm back to wielding the L3 sword again.  Seriously, what is going on?
