Finished! Missing a 4th bottle and Bombos, but very cool. Definitely a challenge, but I'll recommend this to all my other Zelda-fan friends

Just started playing the second quest and can't tell the difference, is the difference only very slight, i am only up to the guardhouse so perhaps I need to be more patient. I was also wondering where the second mushroom is and if getting the powder again means I can't get the mushroom.

I think they mean the one on 5F covered in blue blocks with a grayed warp portal next to it. It's on an inaccessible ledge when you walk past it.

Spoiler:
Anyone know what the mysterious pond recipe gives (Mushroom + Magic Powder + Forged Sword + Ether + Filled Potion)? I got the Magic powder too damn early, so I cannot use the Mushroom in the Parallel Tower.

Yes, exactly, it's the empty, inaccessible chest I was talking about.

What is the "mysterious pond recipe" and where can you read it ? Anyway :

Spoiler:

Throw the Magic Powder in the pond in the snow world, you will lose it. Then, you can get the Mushroom, throw the mushroom in the pond and then reclaim your magic powder at the potion shop.

Very nice little hack you guys made. Frustrations aside (a by-product of any video game haha), it was very innovative and brought back a lot of good memories. My only real suggestion would be to go through and proofread the grammar and story a bit, but you guys are already doing that. Thanks for the help with my questions guys.

Oh, and DkCobra:

Spoiler:

-The 4th bottle can be found at Lake Saria by Hookshotting from Island to Island
-Bombos can be found by solving the optional hard puzzle, and then finding another secret passage in the room with the award (might need bombs). This pathway leads to the 2nd Mushroom, which can be exchanged for Bombos at the fairy fountain in the original world. Dunno if it matters though, cuz I know you finished the game and all lol.

Thanks TechX. I figured there was something across those islands, but since I beat it I never really bothered to get everything. Instead, I went and beat the original LttP today...

It is located in Darunia's Cavern.

Initially, I thought that this just showed what items give an effect when thrown in either pond, but throwing in the blacksmith forged sword has no effect anywhere [unless I missed it].

Ahhh, I missed your last post. This is good to know since I probably would have tried to climb the tower thirty times to get it.

Spoiler:

It does only give information on what items give an effect. Hence the word 'recipes,' not 'recipe.'

Throwing in the blacksmith forged sword upgrades it from level 2 to level 3, though it actually doesn't improve strength at all.

That's not the hunter's house. ?'s house is the one that the hunter lived in.


And to clarify for deoryp:

Go to the big brown building southwest of Kakariko Village, near the gate for the bow&arrows.

Finished. 18 3/4 hearts (19 3/4 hearts if you count the heart container I got in the hard optional puzzle but then loaded a savestate from before so I didn't have to climb up again), all items except Bombos, Shovel and Red Boomerang. I've started the second quest as well and have almost left the Guardhouse Sewers

I enjoyed this hack a lot after getting over the difficulty curve. However I must admit to using this thread multiple times to find things I had trouble locating, but it seems that just about everyone here did just the same so oh well.

My thoughts on it:
Sheik's Hideout felt like a "Link to the Past" dungeon the most to me. The layout reminded me the most of the dungeons from the original.
Nabooru's Hole and Impa's Ways could definitely be improved because both of those levels seem to rely on luck rather than skill.
The idea that the items that are found in dungeons aren't necessary for exploring further in them all the time doesn't work for me very well. Sometimes the items seem rather useless at times too. (Ice Rod anyone?)
The Parallel Tower Keys being on the overworld was an interesting concept. I didn't mind looking for them and found the ones in the tower with little trouble.
There was way too much relying on floor tiles and bosses to make the dungeons hard. It got tiring fighting eyeball dude three times in Sheik's Hideout. And don't get me started on the tiles in the Parallel Tower... Create some unique puzzles and use those to ramp the difficulty.
Orochimaru: Check Parallel Tower Floor 6, the room right of the staircase from Floor 5. At the top of the room check the Layer 1 tiles. There were missing tiles on the ground level in the room, allowing me to travel around the floor behind the walls. I couldn't cheat and get anywhere like this but eventually, the game froze because i guess i left the boundaries of the dungeon.

I do have some questions though.
Where is the Red Boomerang for the second quest? I want to know if I should just grab the blue one in the sewers now or wait.
Has anyone found the Shovel? I haven't seen any mention of it yet.
Spoiler:
What's with the credits saying there are like nine more tablets to find? Are they only in the second quest?

How to I unlock the supposed hidden power of the Book of Mudora that is said to be hidden in the Parallel Tower?

I had a lot of fun playing and wish you luck on version 2.0!

Some tips for those playing. There shouldn't be any spoilers here.

1. Three words. CANE OF BYRNA. Get it as soon as you can. It takes less magic than the Cape and is an offensive weapon too. It's especially good against the Sand Worm bosses and floor tiles.
2. Want a different way to kill the Armos Knights if you're out of bombs? Pull out the Cane of Somaria and use its four fireball attack to strike multiple Armos. Or try the Cane of Byrna for a hurt-free method.
3. If you have ZSNES, press 2 (default key) to turn off Layer 2 but keep Link on screen. Very useful for seeing what is under those bridges in dungeons. Also, at times, pushing 1 (default) to turn off Layer 1 comes in handy.
4. Visit the Upgrade pond early on. I didn't and it made my life tough. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until you return to the Light World after beating all the Dark World dungeons to get to it.
5. Grab Bombs from the house in Kakariko Village at the beginning of the game and save them. When you get to the room in the Guardhouse marked Prison Warden's Room (or something like that) kill him with Bombs to get his key early, allowing you to get the sword early and save yourself another swordless backtracking for the second key in the Wine Cellar. You'll still need to get that one but it'll be easier, trust me.
6. Get the 1/4 magic! The Cane tricks in Tips 1 and 2 are less effective if you have only 1/2 or normal magic. Plus, it's just a smart idea to get it for anything else that uses magic (Cape drains magic fastest).
7. There is a second mushroom hidden in the game somewhere... make sure you don't have magic powder if you want to get it.

Good luck to those still playing!

Seriously... Why am I the only one in this thread that keeps being ignored ALL THE TIME?
Is it only because I'm new to this place? What a kind way of "Welcoming" a new guy to the forums just to ignore everything he says. And I don't like those kind of places.
I pointed out a lot of bugs in some of my posts. I see that no one read it, because you are later on posting the same bugs. I can make a huge list, or post movies (Which I've already done, but I guess no one cared as usual) of all the bugs. Isn't it that you want, those who made this hack?
Hope I didn't become too mad, but I think you get the point: It is NOT fun to be ignored ALL THE TIME!

Just for the record, because we don't post often doesn't mean we don't read posts. I try to keep up a list of *bugs/suggestions* and it keeps getting bigger every day. So yeah, wait and see.

I know that you don't check all day. But when I'm asking for comments from anyone, and no one says a thing at all. Then my post has been ignored. Right?
I'm going to finish some kind of a speedrun of this game. It shows how to beat the game, and a few of the bugs as well. But apparently, no one wanted to see it as those who "read" my post didn't respond. So I won't mind to post the movie here.

EDIT: I'm not usually responding like this, so I'm sorry for that... I just don't like when people ignores me, but I'm getting used to it so don't mind =P.

There are many new people in this thread who are ignored, and many new people who are uickly responded to.

Please realize that not everyone can answer your questions, and rather than make a "I don't know " post, they don't talk.


(But personally, I think you're just being inadvertantly ignored. Perhaps you should PM the author.)

I'm playing quite slow, I do not wanna miss something. At present I'm through Din's Catacombs - I found the mysterious item, and I'm on the way to the next adventure.

OK guys, me reviev:

- I like the overworld, nice work!
- caverns... it is not logical getting to the guardgouse through those underground paths. It does not fit with the game, I did not like it.
- the Guardhouse was a bit too enormous - only a bit, the whole running was quite annoying, somebody has written how did it look like: got to the door, with no key - and again, and again, the Wine Cellar could be more interesting ;]
- a pity, that Kakariko is so small...
- personally, I like the Docks, but there are less ships to visit
- the first dungeon has surprised me, but the mid-boss is not needed... too difficult! The first dungeon was quite short but it was a good choice!
- Din's Catacomb was great, but you could do some changes, ex - place the real dungeon under the tomb of Din (that church-look-like-building)
- The Library... why not making a cellar of this misterious building? You could do more interesting...
