Link to Tortuga released

[Freedom]

Tom feels I've used some of his wav sounds in my sfx.dat files, and since I have 100's of wavs and really don't know where they all came from I told him I would replace those sounds in my sfx.dats

New Link to Tortuga sound file is HERE (http://members.toast.net/mfreedom/2.10_sfx.zip)






Link to Tortuga released.

Returning from a diplomatic mission, Princess Zelda's ship is Swashbuckled by pirates and she is captured and taken to the pirate stronghold know as Tortuga Island.
Held for a ransom of eight blue pearls, it's up to Link to pay the ransom in order get her back.

Link to Tortuga now on AGN's Quest database (http://zeldaclassic.armageddongames.net/viewquest.php?q=219)

Game play notes;
*Link to Tortuga is designed to be played on the new 2.10 version of Zelda Classic.

*Overworld (spacebar) map has been turned off due to a serious bug in the 2.10 that causes the map to trigger secrets on layers of screens the map is used on.

*You should never have to buy a key, they're there, you just have to find them.

Release notes;
Special Thanks to:
Miguel, Elise, Iriss, Joe, David Ballard Jr., and Shoelace for beta testing this quest.
Sprites of Joe and the Rabbit are from *b*'s Sun Tower tileset, thanks goes to him for releasing those.
Thanks goes to DN and fatcatfan for their hard work in releasing the new 2.10 Zelda Classic program, which this quest is designed to be played on.

*Using a cheat program with "no walls" will cause you grief, I suggest against it, there are tons of hidden floor triggers.

*please report any bugs, bugs found while using a cheat program please do NOT report, as they are probably your fault anyway.

Forgot to mention, each time you beat a level the town and all it's building interiors change, as do the ships.
You need to go back to town between each level or you'll miss items and information.

[Odanaki]

:clap: Thank you ever so much for this new Quest of yours.

I liked your previous work. Just wanted to let you know.

See you soon for tips and clues. :confused:

[carrot red]

My only problem would be the absence of an Overworld map. I've waited long to be able to use it... I hope the bug will be fixed soon.

Will download and play.

[elise]

Know how you feel Carrot Red I also love the overworld map
but this bug really does strange things with the quest on this moment
all kind off things disappeared when you look at your map and go back to the screen
But the Quest is great even without it ;)

[Freedom]

Yep, it disappointed me having to turn the map off, but it caused some serious problems.
there is a map in the game, press right on the start screen, and there is a map in the screenshot preview above.
It really isn't a complex overworld, once you get the hookshot from level 1 you can go most places.

[Coder GT]

I'll quote Paris Hilton now "That's Hot". I'm definantly going to download this game.

[JayeM]

Gotta try this one! BTW Freedom, could I talk you into submitting Link to Tortuga to the QDB?

[Freedom]

JayeM,
You bet, I've just held off because to submit them you have to zip all three files together, and that takes me forever to upload, I've got dial-up.

[JayeM]

It doesn't have to be uploaded, Freedom, you just link to it.

[Freedom]

ok I submitted it all, I just added the links to the mp3 and the sfx.dat down at the bottom.

[diannew]

Help - where is the hook shot - I've searched all over and have absolutely no clue where it could be. I have sent a pm to Freedom but I was also wondering if anyone else out there could help.

Thanks

Dianne

[Kairyu]

It's in dungeon one. What was the last thing you did in the game?

[diannew]

Found dungeon one - I think - but can't get past spikes without the hook shot. I believe I've been everywhere I can go. Got the medicine, arrow and shield. Did the duckhunt, found the blue candle and fixed the trees, etc., etc.

Dianne

[Kairyu]

There are three entrances to Dungeon 1. In one you need the hookshot to advance, in another you can see the hookshot, and the third allows you to reach it. The man in the room next to the hookshot gives you a big hint.

[diannew]

I am asking for help to find the other 2 dungeon entrances, please.

[Kairyu]

There's one in a huge tree that's hard to miss, another hidden in a small tree that is blocked by a guy who wants a skultulla (I don't remember where it is), and another huge tree that can't be reached unless you set a bush on the adjacent screen on fire. It looks really different from all the others, you can't miss it. I think.

[elise]

Diannew if you leave the dungeon go to the left down corner passage on your screen
and find the other entrances ;)

[diannew]

Thanks Kairyu - I'll keep on plugging and try your suggestions.

Dianne

[Freedom]

Dianne,
I sent you a reply to your PM that should get you there.

[diannew]

Thanks to all who helped me. I finally found all entrances to level 1 - now all I have to do is figure out how to get around in there.

Dianne

[chinostc]

I'm also stuck in the same place as diannew. I've found all 3 entrances to level 1, but I can't figure out how to get the hookshot. I'm being held up by the switch past the hermit's secret entrance. I've tried everything in my arsenal, but can't trigger the switch. Probably need the hookshot, but how?

[elise]

you need to hit that orb with your sword
for the hookshot go to another entrance and look behind the light ;)

[chinostc]

Ok, thanks for the help. Now I have progressed most of the way through the first level, but now I cant get to the boss or the bottle, can't cross the water on both occasions. I believe I have searched the dungeon thoroughly, but cant find the item I need. Did I miss something in the overworld?

[elise]

you missed the ladder in level 1
look at your map you missed a room on the left
try a little headbanging :)
and throw a little boomer at statues ;)

[diannew]

Okay, okay, I give up - please, where is a bomb upgrade to 6 or more bombs so I can kill the level 1 boss.

Thanks

Dianne (going bonkers) w

:banghead:

[Freedom]

sending you a PM

[chinostc]

Thanks

Dianne (going bonkers) w

:banghead:

Thanks for the help, elise. I found the items i missed but now I have another question. Do dodongos eat super bombs?

Also in my wanderings i found multiple skulltullas, am I wasting them if keep finding them without having a use for them?

[Freedom]

yes, you should never pick skulltulas up if you have one already, otherwise you may end up having to buy them.

Yes super bombs work with dodongos too.

[Phazite]

1. I think I found a bug or something. When I go to the swamp, all of the midis get messed up but the swamp doesn't. I have to close the game to fix it.
2. I need a clue for getting to level 2.

[elise]

1. it's a 2.10 bug you can play on and by entering another area the music will get back to normal again
2. Level 2 is in the swamp

[diannew]

I figured the swamp but how do you get to the swamp. I found the bog but not the swamp. Directions would be appreciated.

Dianne :odd:

[elise]

The swamp is from the city to the shipping area ( Harbour) and down

[Phazite]

1. it's a 2.10 bug you can play on and by entering another area the music will get back to normal again
2. Level 2 is in the swamp

1.Do you mean entering a dungeon because it messes up the midis in all of the areas. I didn't try going into a dungeon yet.

2. Those pirates said it was in the swamp so I went there and don't know where to go there. That's also the place where the midis get messed up... :odd:

[Freedom]

DN said Midi problems are due to Allegro, nothing I can do about that.

[elise]

There are three entrances into the level so just enter one
you can walk through the lighter blue parts in the water :)

[OldZelda_fan]

I'm in the swamp going to level-2 -- great game by the way -- is there anywhere to get the blue tunic or a sword upgrade -- very tough getting thru

thanks

[OldZelda_fan]

I'm in the swamp going to level-2 -- great game by the way -- is there anywhere to get the blue tunic or a sword upgrade -- very tough getting thru

thanks

Never mind -- I found the whitblade and the magic sword ;-) -- and, the power bracelet - back to level 2

sorry for the double post

Where can I find the bow?

[miguel]

It's on the right side of level 2, just walking not rafting. You'll need one key to open another door to set a switch for passage but that's all and since you have the white sword I'm sure that you can talk that nice Patra into lending it to you

m

[OldZelda_fan]

I had that switch set for awhile now (the crystal one) -- but I can find no room where I can walk and get the bow -- and I have left every dock -- trying to go in different directions -- I'm baffled.

thanks anyways -- maybe time to start a new game. :(

[elise]

maybe it's time for using the old walkthrough wall trick on the right from that orb room , leave it and go to the right kill the (dis) like like and do some old fashion headbanging ;)

[Freedom]

Look at the map I gave you, it shows the way even though you can't see the walk through wall you can see the way you must go.

[OldZelda_fan]

thank you Elise and Miguel -- as luck would have it -- I backed into it when trying to avoid - those shield eating friends of ours -- who woulda thunk it... :laughing:

time to go onwards... and, this is only level-2.... :rolleyes:

and, Freedom thanks for the map -- I knew that other item needed to be in this level.

[elise]

yes but it's fun when you find the solution isn't it :)
Just remember this old trick when you get stuck again in other levels ;)

[Phazite]

Where is the white sword and how many hearts do you need for it?

[OldZelda_fan]

Link75, you need 5 hearts and have completed the 1st dungeon. not far from home -- but you need to explore... the hookshot will get you started.

[chinostc]

maybe it's time for using the old walkthrough wall trick on the right from that orb room , leave it and go to the right kill the (dis) like like and do some old fashion headbanging ;)

I am stuck in the same place, unable to find the bow. I have triggered the red switch in the NW part of right section and I've tried to walk through all the walls in the rooms with like likes. Lower right section of level 2, but what room?

[elise]

if you leave the red orb room just walk to the right till the end there is a ( dis) like like
;)

[chinostc]

THANK YOU!! I went over that area before, thats a tough one to find. On with the quest!!

[pachadan]

Hello, great quest.I jsut beat lvl 1 and then read the post where someone mentioned getting the shield and arrow, stuff I was not able to find. Then I read that all the towns change after you beat a level. Did I screw up and miss my chance to get these items?

[elise]

if you only beat level 1 sofar you didn't mess up anything I think
just go to the shop in the town or go to the black market
and don't forget after the other levels to go into the town :)

[diannew]

Black Market - what and where?

Dianne :confused:

[elise]

from the start follow the stream don't go to the right where you enter the jail and the city area just follow the stream south and at the end find the black market on the right ;)

[kd5eej]

I Found the entrance with the guy selling his cave and thats the only one I can find, I found a tree that cant be cured and when you light it up it makes the sound of a secret but on which adjacent screen do i go? just one to 2 screens and which direction and when you say the other one is in a hard to miss big tree..... theres lots of big trees :|

[Freedom]

kd5eej,
go past the ranger station and up through the log

[kd5eej]

ok either im completely blind or what, I go past the ranger station where you get locked up for poppin the kids ballon and I dont see any logs

[Freedom]

popping the balloon is in town, level 1 is up in the Prairiedog hills

[kd5eej]

oh you mean the dead tree entrance, I found that one, its the other 2 I cannot find

[kd5eej]

What do you mean by ranger station anyways?

[miguel]

I think Freedom meant the place where the guy is selling his cave -- he's Forest Ranger Ned and his cave is in a dead tree.

If you found that one and also the one in the live tree that you get to through the holloow log, then you've found two of the entrances. There's just one more entrance in the woods in another live tree -- but you have to figure out how to walk through the forest.

m

[kd5eej]

i havent found any other than the ranger ned one

[elise]

If you leave ranger ned that sell his cave, look on the down left of your screen there you can walk further ;)

[kd5eej]

found all three entrances for dungeon 1 got HS taking a break.... Adventures of link was never this puzzling lol..... just wish I never got rid of my gold cart back in 90' :-(

[Joe]

found all three entrances for dungeon 1 got HS taking a break.... Adventures of link was never this puzzling lol..... just wish I never got rid of my gold cart back in 90' :-(Level 1 falls fairly easily after gaining the Hookshot. Level 2 is in the swamp, which is to the SE. It also has 3 entrances.

Thanks - Joe

[kd5eej]

Is that a keyhole in the sheriff station?

[elise]

you don't want to release Joe would you cause you can't hahahahah
just leave him there and visit him after each level
he enjoys your visits :) :)

[kd5eej]

is there any benifit to killing that 2nd 2 headed dragon in crabcake pass, or just run past him?

[elise]

there is always a benefit if you kill them but if you don't feel strong enough you can always come back later I guess :)

[kd5eej]

Well I killed the 1st one with just 4 hearts

[elise]

well then show you are a great Hero and kill this one also :) ;)

[kd5eej]

I just did and got nothing for doing so :|

[elise]

yes you get my respect
you are a true Hero hahahahahaha :)

[kd5eej]

Cool, now hows about helping a hero out, im stuck in mountain view

[elise]

there isn't much to do there for you now. I guess you are trying to find the swamp for level 2 if you have 4 hearts ?
For the swamp you need to go back to town to the harbour and find your way down

[kd5eej]

Nevermind lol


the boulder to get into the swamp only moves downward, which just blocks the steps alltogether

[elise]

guess this means you figured out you have to walk a little further :)

[kd5eej]

are 4 hearts all I should have at this point? because it seems like im getting my ass handed to me walking through the swamp..

[elise]

to be honest ..........nah you can have 5 hearts and the second sword
I send you a pm

[kd5eej]

got it :D

[kd5eej]

My sheild got eaten in level 2, where do i go to buy another?

[Freedom]

Tom feels I've used some of his wav sounds in my sfx.dat files, and since I have 100's of wavs and really don't know where they all came from I told him I would replace those sounds in my sfx.dats

New Link to Tortuga sound file is HERE (http://members.toast.net/mfreedom/2.10_sfx.zip)

[elise]

kd5eej you can look in the city if there is a store that sells them right now or go to the black market on mountain view ;)

[Boommaster]

I have the long bow and the amulet, but I need help finding the silver arrow and the flippers. Please help...

[elise]

Boommaster did you get the message about the eyes
just look in the eyes and get some headache from headbanging at the same time
o yes headbanging is not always in the middle of a wall ;)

[pachadan]

Ugh! I need help with level two. I found the box with the bow from other hints but I can't open it. Do I need a key, because I don't have any and can't find another one. I haven't been able to find any other items in the dungeon yet, is it due to lack of keys or lack of the bow? Am I missing a passage that I need to bomb or do I need the red candle to light those four candle holders in the first room of the furthest right entrance? I found one key in a yellow flower in the swamp, however there is one flower, right next to the second entrance that I can't figure out how to stab? ARgh!

[Freedom]

try going in the enterance around and down and hookshot across the waterfalls both on the left and right sides.
the furthest upper enterance (right) is the boss, you go there last

[chinostc]

I'm stuck in level three. I've gotton so far as to have the compass, map, and boomer. I've triggered the two boomerang switches, but find my way held up by a red orb i can't get to. I've hookshot to the second level of the dungeon but both entrances are blocked by red orbs in rooms I cant find. I suspect the room in the far right entrance with the 4 movable blocks and 6 apparent places to put them and tried every combo but nothing happens.

*update*
Ok, got past those doors, now I find a treadmill i cant get at and another room that i need the whistle for. Another headbanging session maybe?

*further update*
GOT IT!!
Head hurts but lvl 3 is done.. I think. :laughing:

[OldZelda_fan]

I have the same issues in level-3 -- can't seem to figure out the combination of moving the blocks around. And the red switches -- I tried walking thru walls and can't seem to get to where they are.

[elise]

OldZelda fan leave those blocks for now
this level is really all about headbanging a little bombing, pushing , backtracking ,
and using your hookshot and other items to trigger switches

[Phalanx]

after you beat level two, and go back to town, what's with that one eyed guy that would like a skut (bait)? I think that he's just there to rob you of one.

[OldZelda_fan]

I have beaten level-3 -- but still do not know what to do with those blocks -- what is the pattern. And, can't find level-4

thanks

[miguel]

the pattern is "there is no pattern".

go through pygmy pass to the west of level 3 into the rainforest and explore and eventually you reach level 4

m

[leehankins08]

nice game but can you tell me how to get the hookshot in level one. I found all three entrances but cant really go anywhere.
Thanks
Lee

[elise]

look behind the candles for a hidden staircase ;)

[kd5eej]

im still stuck in level 2, cant find the bow, is there headbanging needed in the left or right entrances? i keep running into those spiders you kill with arrows and thats all i can find

[kd5eej]

and there is an abundance of raft docks, should i have a raft at this point in the game?

[elise]

take the second entrance go one screen up go right on the ledge kill the like like and do some headbanging ;)
and the raft you are close to it .......... :)

[kd5eej]

ok i cant find it

[elise]

I send you a pm :)

[OldZelda_fan]

the RainForest -- I went thru every screen hit all the red crystals -- and -- still can't find the level 4 entrance

[elise]

did you visit the professor ?
there look for his library

[OldZelda_fan]

Elise -- the professor is whom I am looking for -- I see a staircase -- but, cannot figure out how to get there... thanks, I'll keep looking

[Freedom]

remember the level 7 pond in the original?

[OldZelda_fan]

Freedom -- at my age I don't remember too much - less level-7 in the original :laughing:

An old level-7 hint, please....

thanks,


<<update>> I made it to the fort... thanks

[chinostc]

Just finished level 4. The whole process was quite an ordeal. :D After going through the level several times over, I am still unable to get to the big chest that is 2 screens up from the middle lower entrance. I can't figure out how to trip those flipping hookshot blocks 1 screen left from the chest. The only other place on the map I havent been is the 2 lower right screens. What am I missing?

[elise]

I think the two most important things to get in level 4 are the magic book and the blue tunic if you have these two you probably missing a magic bottle
If you come by Nate on the overworld just pay him and he tell you what you get in every level ;)

[Phalanx]

for those of us back at level 3, I have been just about everywhere and have all the items available, but I can not find the boss or the way to the boss. And I can't do anything with the barrel in front of the ladder going up to the roof of the building. so is the route to the boss outside the building complex or inside, and which screen is the secret housed?

[chinostc]

thanks elise, I did pay the man and got the info written down, just making sure I wasn't missing something essential. Gonna move on for now, have given level 4 plenty of time already. Time for a scene change.

*Phalanx, try finding a place at the same elevation and maybe finding a way to pull yourself across. Also, think about 3 dimensional objects on a 2 dimension screen. Any object that is supposed to go up may hide valuable things that you will never see (trees, walls) behind it. Hope this helps.

[leehankins08]

Having Problems Finding The Raft. Any Help Appreciated.

[Freedom]

You have to push a torch to open a passageway.

[OldZelda_fan]

After levels 2 and 3 -- level 4 was a breeze... though getting there was quite a chore. On to level 5 -- tomorrow, though. Time for a break...

thanks for a great game

[Boommaster]

I have gotten to lv 9. I guess I have used the only two keys that I had in the worng place. I have been all over the bottom two rows of rooms and found a chest that I don't have a key for and I went up to a room with a two headed monster. and have killed him, but still need a key there. Please help me. Thanks for the earlier help that was given to me. Where can I get another key to buy.

[kd5eej]

between work and sleep I only have like 4 hours to play now :mad:

[elise]

Boommaster If you want to buy a key you can go to the blackmarket
on mountain view

[Boommaster]

Thanks elise for all your help.

[Phalanx]

About the Fort Carnivore entrance, I have seen the professer at the bottom of the pond and found the HCP in the screen with 4 in it, and have blown the whistle just about everywhere. What am I missing??????????

[elise]

you got the hint about the professors library
don't know where you keep your books but I guess inside your house
Look around in the profs room for his library ;)

[Phalanx]

thank you for all your help people, I finished level four and I can not figure out how to get past the level five entrance. It looks as if you need the wand but you can't get that untill level six. also I see only one entrance to Graybeard. (on a side point there is one room in level four that I did not get to, the only room on the map to be in the middle, is there something I need from there?)

[OldZelda_fan]

Phalanx -- level 4 first -- as long as you have the magic book and blue suit -- that's all there was -- except for the magic upgrade.... lower left

level 5 entrance -- push....

[leehankins08]

thanks for the help

[Freedom]

those statues are a reflection of your power.

[Tom]

How many times do i have to tell you Freedom i don't mind you using my wav files lol. Anyways it is a very good quest and i hope to see more from you in future. :)

[DLink]

i found level 3, but i can't reach the roof tops. any help would be great. i have pearls from 1 & 2 but could use more bombs. any place to gain more bomb capacity? thanks to any that helps.

i love the gquest so far!

[elise]

The left rooftop you can reach with your hookshot look at the floortiles for a nice spot
to stand ;)

[DLink]

Hookshot? never tried that, I made music with the flute from that spot. but i saw nothing to latch on to, so it didn't enter my mind to use the hookshot. i'll give that a shot. thank you!

[Joe]

DLink, use your imagination when looking for passageways in Adobe Flats. The conveyor belts puzzles are a lot of fun solving.

Thanks - Joe

[Phalanx]

made it to level six and got every thing but the red tunic, and I can't find a way at all. what did I miss? thank's again

(what is a pm?)

[elise]

phalanx I couldn't send you a pm
so send you an email

edit: a pm is a private message on the board
if you look at your user cp under options you can turn it on ;)

[DLink]

finished level 2 and level 3. i am now looking for level 4. i have wandered around the rainforest about 100 times and i can't find the entry. for any help thanks.

[elise]

DLink did you find the key and the professors home ?
( if I know that I can help a little better )

[DLink]

yes elise, but i have not been able to figure out the professor's hint.

[elise]

he is telling you something about his library
so look for his library I think he is keeping his books inside his house
don't you think so too
hhhmmmmmm check those walls :)

[DLink]

thanks, i'm feeling sort of silly. jeepers that is so simple. i made it too complicated.

[elise]

Thats not your fault Thats Freedom messing with your brain
you forget the simple things :)

[DLink]

in pigmy pass the 2nd room from the right there are 2 doors and 4 unlit fire pots. i could not open those doors. are they important to this level? i thought i would go back after doing level 4. should i go back first?

[elise]

DLink that are one way doors from the otherside
you can go back when you finished level 4

[chinostc]

I finished level 4, and when I went to town, finally figured out to get over to the the 2 eastern ships. Did I miss anything from not searching those ships after levels 1, 2, and 3?

[Freedom]

Nothing you can't live without early in the game, but there are important items later

[DLink]

i can't find level 5, can anyone help? also when is the lens found?

[Freedom]

the lens is in a ship, level 5 is under the town.

[leehankins08]

Passed crabcake cove but cant get to the room that has a door to the right to lead you to the chest with the magic in it. I got everything else but that chest and just cant find the way. Do the guys that are moving the statues do anything but block the walkway from the right.

[elise]

to get to the magic in level 7
you go to the screen where you lower the water there go up and burn your fingers pushing :)

[leehankins08]

thanks...but now i need help getting to the magic in the mountain level. I have everything else. One more thing, when I hit enter all my items are filled except for the second one from the right on the top row. Is it something I need to have to get to the last level with gannon.

[elise]

Thats the masterkey that can be found in level 9 :)

[leehankins08]

Ok. How about the magic in level 8. I tried headbanging in every room surrounding the only room I havent got to yet.

[Freedom]

try it in the pit in the middle

[chinostc]

I've progressed most of the way through level 8 and collected all the items except for the Din's fire crystal. I've went over and over the level and can't find the wall that will allow me to get to the room with the big chest. What part of the dungeon should I focus my search on? :scared: :odd:

[Coder GT]

I don't understand what a skultas is, and how do I get one?

BTW, a bug is the tree on the right of the bottom middle of all the trees. Basically don't go up to the secret area, go right two screen and try to burn the tree. He will get healed, leave the screen, come back and he will be sick again.

[chinostc]

a skulltula is a little spider, and you can find them hiding behind trees and other areas as you explore. you can only hold one at a time so dont try to find them all right away or you may be wasting them and have to buy them later on

*Where's Dins fire?*

[Freedom]

Coder GT,

That tree isn't really a bug... per say.
When you stack flags it reverts back to the first flag triggered.

Skulltulas hide in trees mostly, they were in Ocarnia of Time first I think.

[chinostc]

I've progressed most of the way through level 8 and collected all the items except for the Din's fire crystal. I've went over and over the level and can't find the wall that will allow me to get to the room with the big chest. What part of the dungeon should I focus my search on? :scared: :odd:

*Please help*

[elise]

in the east part find a room with a big head and 4 statues around it :)

[MightyVillain]

[QUOTE=Kairyu] another hidden in a small tree that is blocked by a guy who wants a skultulla (I don't remember where it is) [QUOTE]

I may be really really stupid, I don't know, but I can't find the last entrance to the first dungeon whatsoever. I've searched everywhere (but apparently not good enough), and I have found the burning bush entrance, but not the last one. Please, where is it?! I'm begging... :(

[elise]

in the first tree you encounter (where the guy wants a skultulla)
look at the wall behind the guy :)

[MightyVillain]

Thanks, Elise. Really 'preciate it! :) You got me in the first dungeon, but I'm stuck again after I got the hookshot, in the first entrance I've past the nailing floor and I've come to a closed door with som statues firing at me. I can't get the door open, even if I kill all the enemies on the screen. What am I supposed to do here? Love this game btw. :D

[elise]

Freedom made this quest so he's the one that gottcha :)
did you try pushing little statues

[Kairyu]

In level five (Greybeard), I found a Patra 2 which automatically hits you as you enter the room, because it starts with it's ring covering the entire entrance. I killed it. A fairy appeared. Was anything else supposed to happen? I tried walking through/bombing the walls, and pushing the blocks, to no avail.

[elise]

I think you answered your own question
you tried everything and nothing happens so that was it :)

[OldZelda_fan]

Also in level5 - I have have been able to get to all rooms but the upper left -- what do you hookshot to? I need the silver arrow to complete the level -- thanks

[SirNiko]

I'm still back on level 3. I have the Whistle, and a spare key, but I can't seem to get any further without a magical boomerang. I can see a big chest in the bottom row of rooms, but I can't seem to figure out how to reach the room directly above it (Which is one screen south of the kitchen).

All these invisible passages are driving me mad. It'll be nice once I finally have the Lens of Truth....

-SirNiko

[elise]

on the left belt take the third belt to the left and while you are doing nothing whistle to pass time :)

SirNiko I send you an email cause you don't use PM :)

[OldZelda_fan]

thank you elise -- off to try

[MightyVillain]

Well, thanks anyway. :) But what to do in the room with the candle? Kindda stuck again... It's tough, this game! Guess I'm just a beginner... :D

[SirNiko]

Ah, that was it. And I had even considered that possibility...

Oh well. Thanks for the assistance, Elise! And Freedom, you're a crazy man to make such a cruel quest! However, I like your choice of music for the Adobe Flats dungeon. Lookin' forward to finishing this!

-SirNiko

[elise]

MightyVillain
do you mean the room totally on the top left side
there you see a little statue in the middle that thing hates flying objects
( if you talking about another room you need to be more specific :) )

[OldZelda_fan]

thank you Elise -- on to level 6

[chinostc]

in the east part find a room with a big head and 4 statues around it :)
thanks again elise :)

[Phalanx]

where is the level nine entrance? I have been all over the mountains, and to the building up at the top, where there is a guy that talks about lots of pirates coming and goong. I already know that you need the wand to trigger a switch, but I have used up my magic meter several times, to no avail. some help is needed and will be appreciated.

[Freedom]

look for a turtle.

[MightyVillain]

Yeah, that was exactly what I meant, Elise. :) Thanks for helping me get started. Wouldn't surprise me if I needed more expert tips soon. :D Peace.

[elise]

Freedom is the biggest expert of us all and you know the places where to catch him for expert help ( here or at my forum)
for the simpler help you know where to find me :)

[Kairyu]

Edit: Never mind...

[elise]

posting 160 a few above yours gives the solution for the upperleft

[Kairyu]

All I got for that was another key. I still need the Silver Arrow to open the path to the boss. What now? Did I miss something in those rooms?

[pachadan]

Hello, hello, can anyone help me get to the boss in Lvl 4? I've got the blue tunic, magic book, and magic container but can't figure out how to get to the top rooms of the dungeon. Does it have something to do with the dead end with two statues outside on the east end of the castle? I've shot arrows and blown the whistle there, etc, but no luck. Probably missing something simple. Thanks in advance.

[elise]

did you try to do a little headbanging against walls

[pachadan]

I did, perhaps I missed one. Any hints?

[elise]

take the most left entrance and follow the path till a dead end ;)

[Phalanx]

Where is the Magic Key????

[elise]

In level 9 is the BIG key :)
on the left side of the level

[Kairyu]

Ah, I see. Thanks Elise!

[chinostc]

FINISHED!! Great quest, Freedom. Fun quest to play. Any more difficult and I would've given up, but I found finishing each level made me more determined to complete the game. :D The game layout of a single screen having multiple layers and many invisible passages almost made me crazy. :laughing: I would have liked the lens to show walkthru walls and passages, as I spent lots of time looking for them. But oh, the acclomplishment felt when the way finally is found (like the maze to level 4). Overall, it took 27 hours and I died 53 times. Thanks for such a brain twister and time well spent, Freedom.

*and thanks Elise for all your help too*

[pachadan]

I'll try it, thanks

[Freedom]

chinostc,
Congrats, glad you enjoyed it.
Must not have been too hard, since you only died 53 times, I probably died a million times when I first played the original Legend of Zelda.
anyway... kept you out of trouble for 27 hours anyway ;)

[chinostc]

:laughing: It must've took me YEARS to complete the original LOZ. Zelda got me into gaming. Back in those days Zelda was the first game of its kind that I played and we didn't have nice forums available with helpful people when we got stuck. :)

[pachadan]

got it thanks, I hadn't reentered a door that took me to the end. One question, is the lens of truth available after lvl 5. I don't want to miss it.

[elise]

No I think after level 6 or 7
If you go back to the town and ships after each level and follow the clues you couldn't miss it ;)

[OldZelda_fan]

pachadan -- the lens was available after level-6 -- finished it yesterday...

Elise/Freedom -- that last room before the boss in level-7 -- any hints... I can't move that fast.

Also, where can I find the large wallet?

thanks, and Freedom -- great quest... takes patience and determination... but, great quest.

[elise]

there must be an item that you can use ,think it was almost the first you got in the quest ;)
the big wallet is in level 8

[Phalanx]

O.K. I must be a hopeless case. I have looked all over the LEFT side of the dungeon and I still can not find the BIG key. I found a locked treasure box on the far left side, but can't find a path to it. I have wasted a lot of keys and rupies on this level, and it is breaking the bank. I need help before I go broke, again.

[elise]

on the second row left side find a place to headbang up

[pachadan]

Hi, can anyone help me find the big wallet? I've got everything else in Lvl 8 and beat the boss. Also, do I need it to buy an armor upgrade (better than the red tunic) or is there a free one in lvl 9? thanks in advance

[elise]

the armor........ I wouldn't buy it ;)
The wallet I send you a PM.......mmm you don't have pm so make that an Email

[pachadan]

elsie,
got the mail, I'll give it a whirl. thanks

[DLink]

i can't solve level 5. i stuck going in circles on the conveyor belts. how does one get off? the boomerang sets some triggers. i'm stuck. twice i got off with hookshot. what am i missing.

[miguel]

Dlink -- try to use other things than the boomerang to set triggers so you can get off the conveyor with the hookshot. In some of the loops you can only get off in certain areas also.

[DLink]

thanks miguel and elise. i can now move on and off the belts more freely. the level 2 big prizes remain lost. the clue referred to the eyes. which eyes would those be and are they important?

[elise]

They are very important you have to visit them
The map shows two open (spots) eyes
don't hurt your head to much while you try to :banghead:in to them ;)

[DLink]

thank you. i will try your hints. can i pick up the 3rd sword after this level?

[elise]

The third sword you can get if you have 10 hearts

[DLink]

level 5 is the mosst fun i've had while playing zelda. solving this puzzle of triggers, traps, and conveyor belts was really neat and tough. are the next 4 levels better than this?

[Kairyu]

I'm in level five, and I've got the magic and the Mirror Shield, but I don't know what to do next.

[elise]

Kairyu Start accepting you beat level 5 and you are now in level 6 :)
you can use your shield to open new ways
and do some more headbanging also on south walls
oh yes and show some muscle power try to move little statues

[Kairyu]

Oops. Yeah, level six. Sorry. Southern walls, you say? I'll try that.

Edit: I found the Red Tunic, but i'm still not sure where to go next. I've explored the bottom three rows of the map, and a few in the upper rows, if it's any help.

By the way, is anything supposed to happen if you push the upper right block in the cyclop's room?

[elise]

the cyclop's room don't think so
did you on the most left room 3th row push the little statue

[DLink]

I could use hint in level 6. I can't find the map. I can't locate the mirror shield. There are only a few rooms up the left side and a few on the bottom left I can search. Any hints?

[Kairyu]

Elise: Yeah, I've filled out the bottom three rows, the entire right half, and one screen on the upper left, according to the map.

DLink: Are you killing all the enemies you meet? Some blocks can't be pushed until all enemies have been killed and/or only move in one direction. Also, try throwing your boomerang at suspicious walls. If it gets hidden...

[elise]

Dlink on the rightside 3th row bump head and trigger the statue with an arrow from the rightside that will get you going on again :)

Kairyu in the second row on the leftside push a little statue :)

[MightyVillain]

need your expert advice again, Elise. I can't find the bow! Where is it? :)

[elise]

I am no expert but did send you a PM ;)

[Kairyu]

Found it, thanks! I could have sworn I tried that statue before, though.

[elise]

Yes I know that feeling Kairyu specially with walthrough walls
I did sniff at the walls like I was a stupid dog looking for spots to walkthrough and didn't find anything
and always seemed to walk by the spots where I could :)

[MightyVillain]

I found the boomerang and the flute in adobe flats, but I can't get any further. What should i do next?

[elise]

Use the boomerang to open the way (aim at wall statues ), to set the trigger to get to the boss :0)

[MightyVillain]

Thanks. You've saved the day... Again. :)

[tysfort]

i can't seem to find a key.....or anything else for that matter in lvl 3.....guess i have just banged my brains out in the wrong places... :googly:

[elise]

yes what can I say if you upload a screen of your map here or on my forum I can look what probably is the best next move for you ;)

[MightyVillain]

I've tried firing the boomerang at everything but still I can't get any further. I'ts really hard and getting on my nerves... What's the trick? :)

[elise]

do you remember the screen with the yellow green thingy ( what nobody knows what it is :)) there are to guards blocking your way aim at the wall statues

[OpaqueEcho]

Okay, okay, I give up - please, where is a bomb upgrade to 6 or more bombs so I can kill the level 1 boss.

Thanks

Dianne (going bonkers) w

:banghead:I hope I'm not too late...I'm having the same problem.

[Freedom]

In the screen that leads up to the Prairiedog Hills there is a waterfall just to the left of the ladder/stairs.......... ;)

[OpaqueEcho]

In the screen that leads up to the Prairiedog Hills there is a waterfall just to the left of the ladder/stairs.......... ;)I could have sworn I tried that one...oh well. Thanks for the help...this is excellent work.

EDIT: This thing makes me feel really dumb. A couple people mentioned that its possible to obtain the white sword prior to level 2...I've only managed to find 1 heart piece, and have no idea where the sword is anyway. I feel like I've pushed every wall, burned every tree, and bombed every possible place. Help!

[elise]

burn the cotton tree at the start that opens a path to the left into the mountain area
there you can find heartpieces and eventually the second sword ;)

[OpaqueEcho]

burn the cotton tree at the start that opens a path to the left into the mountain area
there you can find heartpieces and eventually the second sword ;)I had tried that...the only places I could seem to go where the screen immediately to the left of the starting area, and one screen down.

[elise]

OpaqueEcho
if you go one screen left you see a big boulder above you on the ledge
use your hookshot to get there ;)

[OpaqueEcho]

OpaqueEcho
if you go one screen left you see a big boulder above you on the ledge
use your hookshot to get there ;)Yeah, I saw that after I went back there. :) Thanks

[Phalanx]

Yup, it is me again, level nine is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. I have been in most of the rooms. I have the Golden arrow and so forth, I also bombed up to trigger the hook-shot grabs in the room with the pit. But I can not get to the boss(Gannon).

So far all the help has worked great? Keep up the good work!

[Freedom]

Did you slide the ganon statue over and run through the passageway?

[OldZelda_fan]

I am having the same exact problem -- and -- if the statue you are talking about is near the entrance where you need the whistle -- I get sent back to the beginning of the dungeon

[chinostc]

Maybe try running a bit faster. :D

[OldZelda_fan]

I blew the whistle and ran -- always return to the start of the dungeon -- is there another statue?

[elise]

Nope just stand close to the statue whistle and run before you can :)

[OldZelda_fan]

Thanks elise -- I just finished the quest... got to Gannon another way, though... I hugged the wall and hookshot over to the pillat - then down the stairs... did left and right -- ending up on the left.... thanks

[elise]

Congrats OldZelda fan !!!!!!!! :)

( the straight way from the start is the shortcut ;) )

[Phalanx]

And so ends another great quest by Freedom.(this is by far his best) I am sure that all of those that have played this one will be looking for the next quest by Freedom. Poor old Gannon is beaten once again, Zelda spent over 50 hours in prison, and her hero Link died 93 times.(that's hard on the medical bill) so long.

[rift]

OK :)
hello im new.... and apparently extremly stupid!
I've been wandering around for HOURS, unable to find even 1 of the entrances to the 1st dungeon. I've read over every message in this thread and even with all the "clues" i still cant get anything to happen!

So, I'm going to need someone to just flat out spell it out for me. I know this is rather pathetic but i mean COME ON! :P

for example: i saw someone say in the wall behind a small tree with a kid infront who wants gold skulltulas.... well where is that? I've seen a big tree with a kid who talks about how he wants to colect skultulas for the festival, but that tree doesn't hold any secrets....

Anyways... PLEASE HELP :) thank you

[elise]

From the start go up and right at the end take the stairs up
don't go right there , but go another screen up and there go right till the end
there go up and left that's the way to level 1

[rift]

thank you :) i didn't realise that i hadden gone throught he gate yet :P

[DLink]

i found time to resume this quest but i am stuck again. this time in level 6. i can go up the right side of the dungeon and get to the area with the map. i can go down to the left but am stuck in the room with 2 chambers, 2 doors, a giant double headed skull in the left chamber. how do i get into the chamber with the double skull?

[elise]

DLink you can get in that room by walkingthrough a wall down
but you need the mirrorshield if you don't have that go back to the rightside and look for a room where you can headbang a left wall

( did you get the mail about the new url for my forum hope to see you there again ;) )

[DLink]

DLink you can get in that room by walkingthrough a wall down
but you need the mirrorshield if you don't have that go back to the rightside and look for a room where you can headbang a left wall

( did you get the mail about the new url for my forum hope to see you there again ;) )
i have found no new equipment yet in level 6. i need to find the mirror shield before going left?

i tried your site but i get an error. i got no email. resend it and i'll visit again.

[elise]

Yes on the rightside there is a room split in two headbang the left wall

( http://www.zeldaclassicforum.com or hit my sig :) )

[DLink]

i have not found the mirror shield yet. i did find a floor stairwell in the room directly below the map room. this leads to a room with 3 firepots, 2 lava pits. 2 floor spikes that are up, and a trigger. it seems that the trigger would lower the spikes which would allow link to use the firepots to hookshot over the lava pits. how do i get to the trigger? thanks to anyone who helps.

[elise]

to get by the trigger you have to go from the start 2 left and up then take a right and a bigbang up ;)

[DLink]

to get by the trigger you have to go from the start 2 left and up then take a right and a bigbang up ;)i thought i tried to open the door on the right wall in that room, but it wouldn't open. did i miss something or am i in the wrong place?

[Joe]

DLink I think that once you find the path to the mirror shield you will find the way to the trigger you referred to. You can then activate it, but 1st you must locate the shield. (I think)

Thanks - Joe

[elise]

:banghead: Oh stupid me that is only a one way door
(I put up a screen for the shiny thing you are looking for
in the tortuga thread on the you know were site :) )

[Sketchy]

OK I'm so lost, I'm on the second level and I can't find the raft or boat please help I can't find anything else to do :odd:

[Freedom]

The raft is in the upper left part of the dungeon, you need to push something to open the passageway.

[Sketchy]

Um I'm still confused do I need the bow to get the raft? Also where is the bow?

[Joe]

Um I'm still confused do I need the bow to get the raft? Also where is the bow?
There are 3 entrances to level 2, go to the eastern entrance. Go up 1 screen, go left 1 screen, open door and go up 1 screen, activate the trigger. Go down, go east, go east, go up, go west, go west, go up and find your prize. You will need 2 keys. With this item you can locate the other. This is the best I recall, it's close if not exact.

Thanks - Joe
