Within the context of the game and a little research on "Hail to the Chief", you might be able to piece it together, Poke. The reference to Jimi Hendrix is also contextual, if you heard the music in the America dungeon. It might have been too many inferences and connections for you to make if you're unfamiliar with American politics and culture. I hope this explains things a little more clearly for you.

Thanks, Ratedr4000, for the assistance!

If there's one design decision I regret making with the quest the most, it's not using Jimi Hendrix music for the America dungeon.

So where does one go to obtain the white sword?

Lower Barbasol, in southern Festivity Fields.

Spoiler

If you have the red candle/Sunny B.Light, use it on the big tree blocking your way just south of the ice ring river (the screen with the cave entrance with candycane poles surrounding it blocked by hammer stakes). There's a whole section of the overworld down there, and in one of the caves is a short enemy gauntlet that nets you the white sword.

Anyway, I'm really, really pleased with the reception this quest has gotten overall. Thanks to everyone here for taking the time to play it, and I'm really glad you guys have had fun with it.

Thanks Chief...! don't know what the problem is,, I do everything exactly at it says
Just, can't enter the crystal cave...? . I keep checking on this... (using build 250-18)

Go to the grotto with nothing but water in it in Whimsy (it's under a grave). Play the whistle and the secret sound effects will play. Then you can walk across the water!! Walk up through the waterfall to the next screen, go up the stairs and up the mountain to the Crystal Caves.

Here's where I end up when I try to enter the crystal caves. Using Farore's wind brings me back to the entrance to Whimsy, so its not game ending or anything, unless there's something I need in Crystal Caverns.
Also, in Shiptown Township, there's a place where it seems like you're meant to use the raft, but you can actually reach it using only the ladder. I don't know if that's a bug or if it was intentional, though.

That's exactly what's happening to me --- did hit several bugs along the way , I left them behind with no solve
and none stopped me from continuing - hope this one is no that bad - I'm working around know must be a solve though

So guess what! For some absolutely, mind-numbingly stupid reason, Zelda Classic completely deleted the DMap offset settings when I last updated the quest! I have no idea why this happened. I didn't even touch the offset the last time I updated the quest.

Sigh.

Here, download this version:
with maps
without maps


This release has been an utter disgrace. I'm really sorry all of this had to happen.

I think you missed a push block. It's somewhere near the top of the level with a mirror wizzrobe .

Installed a res copy of 250-18 on top of the other one and solved that bug
So I better ended the game

Can't rate this at 5 star is a five dungeons quest only --- will give 4

So I'm in the second dungeon right now - green forest, and I am really enjoying this game,
this and Lightwulf's Islands quest are the first two quests that have truly appealed to me
so far.

1 - Is there any way to read signs?
2 - In the second dungeon, there are some trees in the bottom right that you burn to get
to a bomb spot, but when you come back out, you can't burn the trees. Is there some other
way out?

I downloaded the one from the database last night.

1 - Is there any way to read signs?

No; this started as a 2.10 project, and it still is one at heart, so making readable signs was kind of hacky at best. The signs mark a transition between different overworld sections.

Try wriggling around a bit; the trees should disappear. I wish there were some way to make secrets permanent in Dungeon DMaps. (I'll probably just use Interior DMaps in my next project.)

[zckrazee]

Thank you for the updates. Just completed the quest. Very well thought-out quest deserving of high marks across the board. I enjoyed the design, level of challenge, and playability. Thanks...
