Starting what I would think is the counterpart to "A Big Hunk Of Hyrule."  More puzzles in this quest.

 

Part 1 - We get started.  An odd start, but luckily we get back to par quickly.  Luckily basic supplies come quicker.

[pixcalibur]

Part 2 - Level 1 isn't too hard to handle, you could finish it in one go, but here I just decided to finish it later.  Then some more exploration outside, finding random secrets.

[pixcalibur]

Part 3 - Partially completing the next couple levels so that we can get some upgrades that will help us along.

[pixcalibur]

Part 4 - Going back to clean up level 2 and 3

[pixcalibur]

Part 5 - Could do level 4, but given you don't get anything useful in there, doesn't hurt to skip the level until later.  So we instead go through a few mazes to get to level 5, which actually is easier than level 4

[pixcalibur]

Part 6 - Level 5 is actually rather easy.  Quite the empty level we have here.  The only real gimmick is that you have to exit to find some stuff to finish the level.

[pixcalibur]

Part 7 - Time to do some more detouring.  Picking up an unguarded wand in level 6, then some more graveyard scouting to get supplies for the next part.

[pixcalibur]

Part 8 - This little side detour can be a hassle, but it will be worth your while to clear this area out to pick up a little something that will help you out

[pixcalibur]

Part 9 - More likely than not to stumble into some of these hidden passages in the overworld, but this will help in a bit of a detour to pick up something that will help out quite a bit for the other levels.

[pixcalibur]

Part 10 - Now we can go back to level 4 and clean it out.  Kind of a mean level for that point in the game, so we'll even the odds with some upgrades.

[pixcalibur]

Part 11 - Level 6's usually have a reputation for being difficult, and this is no exception.  Luckily for the early red ring, which helps even the odds, making the level more manageable.

[pixcalibur]

Part 12 - Again nice to have the red ring for this level.  There are a few rooms that could give you fits otherwise.  Actually still had some trouble even with the red ring, but plenty of spots for refills.

[pixcalibur]

Part 13 - Cleaning out level 8.  Normally you'd get the red ring around this point, assuming you use the whistle to reach level 8.

[pixcalibur]

Part 14 - Level 9 isn't too hard.  The first half has a lot of the weird room transitions like in level 4.  First thing is to get the magic key.  Luckily there's a refill spot right outside to get a fresh start.  The second half is a big maze, needing to find one particular room to move on.  Recalling the gimmick in level 7 will clue you in to where to search.  Then a boss gauntlet to end things.
