OK, assuming you found the Master Sword dungeon (is it a short, vertical one? If not, you're in the wrong dungeon: bombing was for the secret money area behind the White Sword, but there's no **Master** Sword there. There might have been a shop in the 2nd overworld with the Master Sword for $900, I forget if it was taken out in the update...)...
You need to use the trick from Level 9 in Adventure of Link: use the Wand and Magic Book to burn the tree in the center of the room you'll eventually come to.
And considering I'm playing an old uncorrected version where you can't even get the Red Ring, I thought my total finishing time earlier today of 9:31:16 was pretty good. :)
Re: The Longest Journey ... IS HERE!! Download it now!!
Okay... the dungeon I'm in that I 'think' is the one the clues and you pointed me to... is a short, vertical 4 or 5 room thing. At the end room. There is a lone bush that I had to bounce a wand shot into off an enemy. ( I guess thats what you meant by the ref. to AoL?) Anyway... Under the bush was money. There are blocks and the bush, that keep me from getting to the left and upper walls of that room. Blocks wont move. Bush opens to stairs and when I emerge... it puts me back on the right side of the room. Therefore... IF this is the right dungeon... then I can't figure HOW to get to another room...
The locale is 1st OW, the screen directly above the heart you raft to screen, which is beside of the L1 screen.
If there is a shop for the master sword... I'ld pay! lol.
I've took time to watch a movie and am bumbed that I still can't move on now. :( I might go ahead and start on L9. Surely the Master Sword isn't THAT important to get me started mapping it? lol I'm ready to get down and dirty ya know? Kick some Ganon butt! (evil laughter) But I will check back first thing tomorrow ( at least right before I get to play again).

Well... I reckon so....lol. Of course... where IS that Red Ring? Will I be finding that in level 9? Geez I hope sooooo.... I hope I didn't miss something else... lol.
Anyway, I don't mean to take away your accomplishment here... ;) But I'm standing by my defense of my taking "days" to get where I'm at now... with the fact that ... I didn't know where stuff was and had to take time to HUNT!!!!! lol Not to mention figure out crap ...lol. (or wait for you to tell me stuff...lmao!) Anyway... You get a cookie for your quick time of 9 1/2 hours... okay? lol If the game wasnt' so long... I'ld play it again just to see if I could beat your time now that I know where stuff is... ;) Maybe in a few months? When it would be new again? lol.... Care for a challenge? lololl.... I'm kiddddding!!!! No way could I do it that quick. Now... the original ZC I have now... I might would go head to head with you. I know that one like the back of my hand I've played it so much! lol But that was before I found this site and all these new games. I'm like a kid in a candy store now...lol. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I would run through that old game 4/5 times a week just messin' around....lol. NO ... I don't have a life! lol
Okay, enought chit chat :heart: ... Help me out with how to get to another room in this dungeon, or to that room you mentioned with a tree.... (remember I found the bush room at the end) so I can get on with kicking Ganons red hinnie.
Re: The Longest Journey ... IS HERE!! Download it now!!
You have the right dungeon, and you're going to kick yourself because you were so close to figuring it out: you do burn the bush. Then you walk halfway up into the tiles above you and walk "across" the stairs, only *half* on top of them. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right: it's when you have a rock tile above you, Link still appears half on top of it, you know? Just push yourself up into the top blocks first and you should be able to walk across. I don't know what player you're using, but this can be done in the 1.84 and 1.90 players. Either way, it's not essential to completing the quest.
The original sword shop was either Magic Sword or Master Sword for $900 but I forget which.
The Red Ring is in Level 9, in the right-hand column of rooms; you must kill three Patra at once to get it. If the stairs open up behind some blocks, you have the old, uncorrected version. I did release a minor correction which took care of this and some other more minor bugs, but I'm not sure if the Quest DB ever got the right one. With the Master Sword, the Red Ring is a little less important, as the tough rooms are only half as long and will only drain half as much of your hearts as they did to me (I was playing Blue Ring, Magic Sword - eek! Now that IS hard).
Don't worry about your time. I was more going for "if it takes me 10 hours to play it, don't worry if it takes you 50" -- I was trying to be encouraging.
Anyway, this should get you going for now. Good luck... and remember to save a potion for the last room. And I don't mean the one with Ganon.....
ETA: I just played through for it, and the Master Sword costs $750. To help, you can find $200 in the tunnel going to Level 7 (by the way, you reach that cave above Level 7 with the Whistle -- but it's a bit buggy and not really important, just a hint to the Master Sword: like, if you found the Door Repair guy one screen north of the Master Sword, he says "cave floor is about to collapse" ... because the dungeon is underneath his cave!)
Re: The Longest Journey ... IS HERE!! Download it now!!
Well, one thing you've always been is encouraging pL. And Patient! And God love you for it! :king: If not... I wouldn't still be playing.
And... I almost had another hissy last night and said screw it. lol. But I recognized it was me... not the game. Even went and download Unoffical Ninth and the 1.6 verison. Was just going to start another....lol. I remember you said it was a bit easier. And I would really like to build my confindence back up by being able to play a game that I didn't need to stop and ask a question twice a day! lol But, I think it had to do more with me just having a bad day yesterday.. than anything.:uhoh: I've got one of "those" mothers that hasn't aged well. Bless her heart.
Anyway, I did go ahead to 9 w/o the sword. And the rooms were not too bad... again... it was the figuring and whatnot part and the day had me ---- well, weakened... we'll say. lol . I was just so.... I don't know... feeling so undeserving of being there I guess. I had had to have so much help. And here I was... stuck again. Just frustrated with myself when one 'thinks' they've tried everything and yet like you said... then have to kick their self in the butt when they see how simple it was. I spent hours going in and out (in and out in and out) getting those stupid S Bombs...lol. Trying to find more rooms. I've always hated that they only sell one at a time...lol. Anyway...I never did keep up with which ones I bombed (like I said... I was in a state) so I'll have to start afresh.
I'm thinking my problem (other than a bad day) might be I've got Zeldaitis too...lol. Just TOO much playing. This is my third game in a row with no breaks. Well, that and my issues with giving up too soon... :redface: I need to work on that personality flaw.
Anywho... today is a new day. The sun is shining and I am determined to get out from underneath this funk! I am not going to beat myself up about the block thing... I'm just going to go and get that sword. Then... I'm going to go visit some people (get out in the world), do some errands. I'm going to get my smile back. :female: Then when I feel I'm perky again... I'll tackle 9. Don't give me any hints yet.........I am determined to at least do this one on my own...for a change...lol. Even if it takes me days!
You have a glorious Sunday. I hope to be announcing Monday that I am "done and done". If not though, I'm not going to sweat it.... lol.
Oh, and I'll let you know about the ring thing once I find it. Maybe that will tell us which version I've been playing...lol.
Happy Trails..
Oh...PS... I had a non related question. When a person makes these quests... do they "have'' to use Zelda music in the OW because of copyrights or something? I had a thought that wouldn't it be nice to have something else playing where you spend the most time (in the OW). And even maybe switching up for areas. Like beach music if your along the water, Something like "Born to be Wild" in the dessert areas... that kind of thing. When I go into a dungeon with good music... it just seems to help. Adjusts my mood ya know? I'm into music. And I LOVED the dungeon where you put in a bit of "The Wall". And.. the end song? Wouldn't it be cool to have "Happy Trails" ? lol
Talk to you later...
Re: The Longest Journey ... IS HERE!! Download it now!!
I'll give you one bit of advice: when you enter Level 9, from the Triforce Guard room, the Silver Arrow is found if you go straight up; everything else (except possibly the compass) is down the paths to the left. That should save you some incredibly frustrating bombing. Also, there is a superbomb and bomb shop somewhere in Level 9.
As far as music, I think it's just tradition. In "Adventure of Link," I almost used the dungeon and overworld music exclusively but thought that would get boring. I don't know how to change the ending music; however, I know how to change the Ganon music. And if I ever finish the Proving Grounds quest, I have already selected the Ganon theme. I feel it's one of the best ones out there... I took a certain part of a certain song (I'm not telling!!) which -- I think, anyway -- captures the mood perfectly. If I ever stop playing "Kingdom of Loathing" for a few days, maybe I'll get to finishing that. I need to make it into a 2.10 quest now anyway but I'm not sure if a converter will work...
Switching music also changes maps -- people have "boss music" in dungeons, but the way the map works kind of changes and I just don't like how that looks.
Re: The Longest Journey ... IS HERE!! Download it now!!
1st: Done and Done! I'll tell more in a pm... don't want to ruin it for others....

see... I did not know this....lol.
Also... new game? TELL me its not as hard as this one! lol And when I say hard I don't mean fighting (except ofcourse L5) I mean hunt - hunt - hunt! lol Almost too much of a good thing ya know...lol.
Anyway... Ganon is DEAD! And that's all I have to say about that here! lol
Re: The Longest Journey ... IS HERE!! Download it now!!
Hello,
I've been reading the messages and I'm still a little confused on level 5. I can't follow the directions given, such as going N, N, N, N, E, etc.
I can't seem to understand about trying to go west of the room with the guy you have to whistle to make into 3 smaller pieces and then kill, as no matter what I do, can't go that way. I can't follow the instructions I mentioned in the previous paragraph because going north leads to a big blood pool between the entrance, and the map at the top. No way to get across. Otherwise, the only rooms I can seem to get into are the 3 to the right of the entrance room and 2 above it. Then, in that right column, I can also go up 2 more rooms, and the 2 rooms to the right of that, but for the top 2 rooms, I can only get under the bottom row of blocks, and not in between them to cut across the locked doors. I have gathered 3 keys thus far, but that's it.
What am I missing?
Thanks.
Re: The Longest Journey ... IS HERE!! Download it now!!
Ah, but you need to blow the whistle to cross that big pool.
And when you go along the right, there are walls that can be bombed (in the room with the mummies).

Ah, thanks...but now I have a different issue. I can't for the life of me find the blue ring dungeon. There is one dungeon that you start out going north twice, then east for a while, needing a raft before you go south, which requires a ladder, but found nothing there. As for the lake where the raft goes across the top, if you go east 1 screen, there is an entrace way that can't be accessed with 8 of the guys when you touch them, they move, and are never worth coins...is there a way to get in that entranceway? And is that the blue ring dungeon? I tried to start level 6, but that's even worse than 5 without the ring. Oh, how much that blue ring would mean....

Oh, and by the way, I did find a bug in the quest earlier. When you get the power bracelet, you can push the rocks. Well, there is a rock that you push across the bottom row that takes you to 3 secret passages. There is another rock if you go from the starting screen North, West, North, and west a few times (I think), where you would go South to enter the grave yards, go north instead. There is a rock you push to open up a passage to the Northwest. Well, if you take the secret passage first before you push that rock on the west side, go to the passage that takes you west of the river and into the NW territory, go all the way to the top, and as far left as you can, leading to a staircase going down that you can't see going up, and then go down again, and down once more, you get stuck/wedged in that block that would be removed if you push the rock on the west side first. I hope I explained it enough for you to understand it. You end up having to quit and continue at the starting screen again.
