Awesome!
I tried a wand puzzle in the Temple of Time that used mirrors,but after
the magic hit a mirror,it didn't light the candle.If the magic hit the candle
directly,it lit.What is happening?

There is a seperate trigger for reflected magic. Make sure you are using that instead of the wand. This will make it so you need to reflect it with a mirror or the mirror shield to activate it.

oh yea a few more puzzles...
1.put blocks in places u want them and randomly choose a block with the flag
2.invisible floor noone can see it but they can just walk over it if making a direct warp falling in a pit make a shadow or somthing giving a hint of were you should walk
3.walking over lava!!!! example make a block make it push having a walkable tile as the under combo if you'd like u could combo cycle it to turn into lava again after awhile = )
4.fire dungeon blocks of ice? example pusing block of ice into lava making walkable floor
5.pushable bookcase make a trigger making the bookcase move and put a door or somthing behind it works for me = D
6.windy??? example draw some tiles looking like wind and make them conveyors if u want make a block trigger to stop the wind
7.ice block wand puzzle? pisses people off ! put a bunch of ice blocks or blocks.. in the way put mirrors make it so u can push the blocks around once u got what u want then make a place for the wand magic to hit
8.burn the tiny trees with candle red or blue
ill think of some later

1.make 1 spike transparent and make it walkable and the other spikes painfull
2.hammer showing spikes?example making little holes not showing the spikes but still hurts u but some walkable this is were the hammer comes in
use the hammer on the floor to make the spikes pop up to see were u r going!

3.hit a switch with your sword on the other side of the wall to open a door or somthing in the other side of the room
4.make some walls have cracks and some not to just to confuse people = )
thats for the bombs..
5.conveyors + spikes oh god... put convenyors leading to somthing but having spikes beside the conveyors but to make it harder try making the conveyors go backwards... why u try to walk towards it
6.side platform screen gravity lifts example if u want a gravity lift in those side platform screens u could use a conveyor but make it look like its somthing carrying u up other then those arrow things moving..
7.to make dungeons harder make 2 entrances to make it longer.. and to get another switch then walk all the way back to the other entrance
8.power bracelet to push heavy blocks
9.ice temple water? example u can choose the item u want for this i dont care here how it goes use a certain item in a place u put the flag in make wind conveyors come out of the walls to make the water turn to ice with the secret combo menu
10.making more then 4 lost wood paths.. after make 4 paths make the next screen having more paths to follow... but making the same starting path bringing to back to the first screen u started at
11.secret entrance behind a house or tree..
12.able to walk under certain floors in dungeons that no other person probably notices
13.crossing the pit! example put a switch on the other side of the room with a big pit i nthe middle use the magic boomerang to make a bridge
14.crossing the pit with fire... same as last one accept make a unlit torch and use a flame boomerang

Rulehy:

You could make puzzles that involve just about any item attainable in Zelda Classic. How you build the puzzle is entirely up to you. Just make sure it works and is solvable.

Even though there are some limitations on what you can do, you should be able to come up with great ideas.

You could have an idem in one of the early dugeons in your game that you can only get when you get to one of the later dugeons. (This would be an idem that you need.) But when you go back that dugeon it whent thourgh some changes.

Rulehy
07-25-2006, 01:09 PM
That would be cool!
What do you think about this,
"when all the monsters are gone,some water comes out.You don't get the
flippers until the next level.So when you have the flippers,you come back to
the level and dive in to the water.It takes you to a room where a whole
heart container is." Is that cool or lame?

bluedeath
07-26-2006, 10:43 AM
well i would give you more effort for just putting a heart piece i dont mind its your decision :) but if u do decide to put a whole heart try making a custom boss or a mini boss or somthing?
:googly:
