k, i think i'll submit it. i'm too lazy to fix the minor problems like slash and stuff. my attention's been on making an easy-to-use gameboy tileset and rocksfan's Link's Retirement 3.

thank you for trying my quest out!

I'm TOTALLY lost in Level 7 now.

I have the fire boomerang and all rooms are covered except the boss room, the treasure room and a southeast room. Walking through all rooms and watching the map leaves me all confused. Seems like there is a curved route from the southeast to the silver arrow, but I don't even know where to start it. Might be I need to start it by unlocking the door in the pols voice room which is south from the statue room. However, in this case, I can't find the key. Floating torch lighting, eyeball pushing, whistling and button stepping made me progress so far, but now I completely don't know where to go. Probably I need that key, but can be that I need to start the route alsewhere.

Anyway, at the first time, I stuck because who knew that I need to push the blocks BEHIND that Ganon statue?!

In order to get to the arrow, you need to locate the pit on the eastern side. Which DOES require a key to get through.

Ah, so it really starts with the pols voice room. Great, now where's the key? I remember getting one from the same room and from a big chest (I think) and from a little chest... So, what I need is the last key. It's probably the only one that requires the fire boomerang.

Wandering around Level 2. Got one key and unlocked the respective door. Don't have any dungeon items. No idea where to go.

the whistle is the next item you'll find. go through the locked door and try to find a passage downstairs. it goes straight to the whistle.

a good way to tackle the dungeons is to explore the places you managed to unlock. in this case, it was the area opened by the key. you shouldn't get lost if you stick to this heuristic.

there's three keys. one is in the south wing, F1?, another is in west wing, B1?, and the third is in the north wing, B1? try the second key, which is what you might've missed. it's in the west wing, B1?. all you do is drop downstairs, head left, and you'll immediately see a door that you can open with the fire boomerang. it's right next to the HCP room.

and if you're having trouble getting the silver arrow, specifically, it requires a lot of backtracking and pit dropping on the east wing. just keep falling down and trying to hit whatever triggers you can find until you can finally create a straight path into the silver arrow room on F1?. big hint: you'll need to use the passageway in west wing, B1?, to activate one of these triggers.

remember how in level 1 you had to walk behind a torch to trigger the boss key? try to find something similar in level 3. big hint: it's in a room all the way north.

I finally beat this wonderquest!


Amazing how could I miss that north B1 key. I found the sword in the buried castle. I had all hearts but one, plus 1 HCP. I looked around suspicious places, like the ruined house, the Link statue, the bird statue and such, but I find no more secrets.

nice, you beat it with 5 deaths! i think i died around 12 times when i was testing it, but i know it's definitely beatable in under 5 hours. =P

so you're missing 5 HCPs? let's see, there's 9 of them on the overworld, 5 in the extra item dungeons, 7 in each miniquest area, and 7 in the dungeons.

i'll list the map coordinates for the overworld HCPs: 0x07, 0x10, 0x22, 0x37, 0x40, 0x42, 0x43, 0x72, 0x74. each dungeon and miniquest area has a HCP, none of them are very tricky to get, just requires the right items and a keen eye. and that's pretty much the whole game, congratulations. it's really cool to hear that you've beaten the quest, i feel warm and tingly inside. ^_^
