Description
A short quest designed with a highly modified Yuurand tileset to fit the limitations of the 1-1-2 contest. The contest limited the quest to only 2 total Maps, with Map 1 being the dedicated playable screens and Map 2 being either a layer or more playable screens. No overhead layers. No additional screens. Surely this would lead to tiny quests, right?

Explore a world filled with a variety of small areas, collect weapons to clear the path forward, collect upgrades to increase your strength, and prepare for the final battle.

As a 2.55 quest, this does showcase a bunch of newer ZC features. Plan on using the X and Y buttons (Ex1 and Ex2) to use four items at once. Some enemies take double damage or half damage from some weapon types.
Story
There are rumors of some sort of "Dark Dragon Queen" causing trouble. The Great Fire Dragon Scarlett has decided to explore and track down this "Dark Dragon" and stop this trouble... whatever it is.

Of course, she has to find them first. Collect weapons and upgrades to prepare for the inevitable duel between dragons.
Tips & Cheats
The text file included with the quest explains the contest limitations and bonus challenges and how I met some of them. It also covers a lot of gameplay questions, though I'll mention the bigger things here.

Fast travel is a thing via warp points. Simply touch the center of them to activate them, then press A on top of the portal to use them.

For those not familiar with Yuurand's style, Floating Orbs are a common puzzle type. Hit them with various weapon types to see what works.

Likewise, some weapons interact with the world, like Ice freezing water. If you got a new weapon recently and can't seem to get past some blocks, try it out.


Of course I included a randomizer, how could I not? It's hidden
Spoiler
This is also mentioned in the text file.
