 INTRODUCTION
--------------
Thank you for downloading The Revival. This quest is, roughly, a remake of 
a much older quest I was making nearly 25 years ago, "Link's Adventure". It
also serves as a loose tribute to PrinceMSC's The Revenge Second Quest.

The Revival is also a modern demonstration of the capabilities of 1.90,
although it's not really in the vein of something like Bikdip's Adventure
2. It's a fairly standard 8 dungeon quest. It might lack a lot of features
you've come to expect from modern quests, but I hope the level design is
engaging enough to make up for it.

It's slightly more difficult than average. Some knowledge of the particulars
of the way Zelda Classic's items behave is expected going in. This quest also
won't hold your hand or telegraph secrets to you in obvious ways. Most major 
equipment upgrades are well hidden. If you've been playing quests for a
while, you should be fine, but I can't really recommend this to novice Zelda
Classic players.

This quest should work fine in any version of Zelda Classic. 1.90 is
preferable, but this quest has been tested in both 2.55 and 3.0 as well,
and should work fine in either. It is worth noting, however, that certain
enemy behaviors (e.g. Goriya boomerang throws) are slightly more aggressive
in 2.55 and later versions.

Hope you have fun with this quest!

 STORY
-------
There's not that much of a story, really, and what little story there is can
be inferred from the game's world. Still, if you really want one, here it
is:

The world around you has been slowly dying. It is the work of the Beast. They
say the Beast is an apparition like none before it. If this course continues,
the Beast will destroy the entire world.

You must gather the Triforce to gain the power to enter its lair, so that you
may revive this dying world.

------
 TIPS
------
The blue candle, small wallet, golden arrow and Master Sword are not
obtainable in this quest.

There are only sixteen heart containers total. You start with 3 heart
containers. There's 8 as rewards for beating bosses, and there's 1 full heart
container hidden in the overworld. That leaves 16 heart pieces (4 heart
containers' worth) scattered throughout the world.

You'll want to be diligent in checking your map. With the exception of Level
9, you don't have to go outside of the marked map to find any rooms in a
dungeon.

Many secrets and paths forward involve going through cave networks, so check
caves frequently.

Both of the major cave networks have maps. The boundaries of these maps are
self-contained. That is, if you're outside the map in a cave, you're in a
cave network that isn't connected to the main network.

Some bomb walls may be hidden with no visual cues indicating their existence
(i.e. cracks). For these, you'll want to infer where they are from context.

The Light Arrow required to defeat the Beast is in a unique, non-numbered
dungeon. You'll want to get it before entering Level 9.
