Secret of the Golden Ring: Legacy Version

by Alex-Link


I. Intro:


Thanks for downloading my quest! The story of this quest is your basic Legend of Zelda 
story, meaning your main task is to save both Hyrule and Princess Zelda from Ganon by 
finding all the Triforce of Wisdom fragments, entering Ganon's Lair, and destroying him. 
This “Legacy” revamped version includes, likely final, quality-of-life updates to the
original quest that will hopefully address all of the prior minor graphical or 
miscellaneous issues. Should be a lot smoother to play now. Hope you enjoy!


II. Important stuff/tips:

1.	This quest was ported to ZQuest version 2.50/2.53, and, as such, only ZClassic 
	version 2.50/2.53 should be used to play it; play it in another version at your own
	risk!

2.	Keys are only used in dungeons; there aren’t missing Keys in any of them, so if 
	you find that you’re missing one just remember to always kill all the enemies in 
	the rooms, look for vague clues (like mis-matched tiles), push stuff around, etc. 
	(though don’t expect eye-popping clues, if any, on later levels). Also, never 
	leave a dungeon without finishing and go to another dungeon to use a Key, since 
	you might mess up the order of the Keys!

3.	FYI-The red arrows in the Triforce Piece rooms just indicate which wall is walk-
	though in case, for some reason, you decide to go back to the Triforce Piece room 
	and need to re-exit (basically, so you don’t accidentally get stuck).

4.	FYI-Do NOT save in Ganon’s room; you will encounter a minor bug that does allow 
	you to finish the game, but Ganon will not reappear after you load, and you 
	automatically reach Zelda. So yeah, just don’t save in Ganon’s room if you want 
	to fight him.

5.	Do expect some optical illusions that don’t need to be solved with the Lens of 
	Truth (for example, some blocks may look solid while in fact they’re not. This 
	is common beginning at level 4, but it’s just a part of puzzle-solving, not 
	graphical errors).

6.	When you find that you can’t get to the next room, if you have the Map, you can 
	always see the outline of the dungeon and so you might consider the existence of 
	walk-through/bomb-able walls :)

7.	All the dungeons have a “trap room” in them, indicated by skull(s) in the room. 
	Some do have an item in them and some will just require patience to exit.

8.	Anything locked that has a Heart directly in front of it means mini-boss time.

9.	Aside from Boss Key doors, a lock block with a Bubble tile in front of it means 
	the same thing (boss time).

10.	All dungeons, except for the first, have a secret in them.

11.	When Potions (magic & life) become available, always have them handy, you never 
	know when you might need them!


III. Overworld areas in no particular order:

1. Link’s Forest: a peaceful and compact forest, home of Link. Two Triforce fragments 
	resonate from within...

2. Death Mountain: mountains that are not very fond of visitors, as they’re infested with 
	monsters and even falling rocks. Could they be trying to protect something?

3. Ganon’s Swamp: this small swamp is where Ganon’s Lair is located. It never stops 
	raining and it’s full of tough creatures.

4. Frosty Hills: hills with very low temperatures and some rather depressed residents.

5. Graveyard: the graveyard is home to several Ghinis that are known for tricking
	whomever enters their whereabouts.

6. Gerudo Desert: a desolate desert with unforgiving temperatures, desert monsters, and 
	optical illusions. Legend has it a Triforce fragment lies somewhere in it, but
	nobody has yet to prove this.

7. Hyrule Grasslands: ironically, these grasslands lay next to Gerudo Desert and they are 
	full of vegetation and monsters.

8. Armos Heights West and East: these lands are guarded by Armos Knights, Moblins, and
	other creatures. In each one, there is a palace that holds a Triforce fragment; 
	however, they both are protected by powerful dragons as rumored by legend...

9. Lake Hylia: just a rather peaceful lake with rather wise inhabitants.

10. Zoras’ River/Zoras’ Cove: these areas are home of many unwelcoming Zoras and other
	aquatic beasts. A Triforce fragment lays hidden beneath the waves...

11. Castle Exterior: the fact that the exterior of the castle is heavily-guarded is 
	evidence that something is trying to be protected...
