Basically plot out how strong you think the player could/should be through out the quest, as well as looking for opportunities for advancement, and when the player is able to access them.
Maybe if pikaguy can't help with this, i can certainly give it shot.

Remember: The following items are attained in Level one:
1) Red Candle.
2) Hookshot.

Level two:
1) Ladder.
2) Raft.
3) Magic Hammer.

Level three:
1) Bow 1 and Wooden Arrows.
2) L1 Amulet.
3) Bow 2 and Silver Arrows.

You can get Slash and Double Magic by the time you get the Red Candle, so you can just leave in the middle of Level 1 (Forest Temple.) to go get lots of your quest items. I plan on having a LOT of things burnable in the quest.
My question would be: How would the player aquire the blue, red, and (optional) gold rings. Also the swords.
