No, No ZQDX for you yet lol

This was another little innovative experiment of mine, inspired by the swordless runs of 1st and 2nd. They usually use all sorts of things to run through dungeons and grab something to use in place of a sword, usually going through a lot of danger. Well, this quest is ALL ABOUT that.

Level 9 is available to you from the beginning. In fact, it's not even that far from where you start. However, Level 9 is still Level 9, and still as hellish as ever (And also twice as big!!) It's essentially a long road of endurance.

So you can go in Level 9. But can you beat it? Well, assuming you have a sword and a bow, you can IN THEORY meet the Silver arrow on your way through and kill Ganon with just those. But you'll probably die instead. A lot.

So, here's the catch!! There are eight dungeons dedicated to eight items, plus a ton of stuff scattered around the overworld. If death just isn't you, you're gonna have to do some questing.

The game also uses a system of statues. The Triforce doesn't play any real role in this quest, but as an item will allow you to whistle warp to these statues after you walk into them once. There are eight statues (duh) on the overworld, and if you die in an area of the overworld, you will be returned to this statue, instead of starting way back at the beginning.


...oh, and Link talks. nyahahahaha Also, You'll notice I have pink lava. It's mysterious!!! AHAHAHAHAHA

Things have been quiet in the big cities and towns around Hyrule, and Ganon has been missing for a few months now.

Link and Zelda were about to do some work fixing up the kingdom when they received word from a sentry that several monsters were seen surrounding a castle, kinda in the middle of nowhere. Nobody seemed to care a whole lot, given that they didn't really bug people, but it didn't sit right at all with Link. or Zelda.

Zelda sent Link to the boring town to investigate. The town and the land surrounding it may be in the middle of nowhere, but there is a bright and colorful city located in the high mountains, quite away from it. It has some good supplies, but the little town has... well, it has next to nothing. This is unfortunate, but Link must endeavor, and with no idea what Ganon is doing, he must Get in Level 9 and stop Ganon as quickly as he safely can, which may be a pretty long time.

Since you need it to kill Ganon anyways, I'll tell you that the bow dungeon is deep in the forest to the west of town.

Also, since the dungeons in this game do not have Triforce pieces as a goal, the compass markers are used for other things, like dungeon solutions, special item locations, etc. If a dungeon has you confused, LOOK FOR THE COMPASS!! IT'S YOUR KEY TO SUCCESS!
