In this demonstration, you start outside Link's house. Proceed into the Mystic Forest, where tricky forest spirits hope to bamboozle you, and Deelers lurk in the treetops. Find the secret paths that lead deeper into the forest, and enter the Forest Abbey!

The demonstration ends when you reach the boss's room.

But first, take note of all of the following!

* The path through the village square is North, East, North, West. Don't forget this!
* This dungeon contains secret rooms. Like, for instance, fairy fountains. Check your dungeon map for inconsistencies!
* On the subscreen, move the cursor and press A or B to equip an item in that slot.
* Press A to read signs, but press Up to open chests.
* No recovery hearts. Link automatically regenerates life and magic at a somewhat generous rate.
* You can use the fishing line to fish, but you won't catch anything useful.
* The big chest is unlocked. You don't need a Big Key.
* Some elements behave differently now. For instance, vine-covered statue pedestals can be hookshotted, but clean ones can't.
* Remember to press the Map key when you need to remember something about a room's layout!
* Candle fire won't burn 'corner grass' combos. Ignore this.

Some personal reservations about the finished product:

* The Moblins. In NeoFirst, the moblins are naturally aligned with the King of Thieves. So, they don't really fit in here. If you can think of something more exotic to replace them with (note: must throw spears, can't be afraid of fire) then do suggest!

Q&A:

Q: What about all that stuff you bragged about in the Diary thread?
A: It's all in! Scout's honour, as they say.

Q: I can't get the Map!
A: Keep at it! Someday you'll be able to!

Q: Does the owl statue do anything?
A: Yes.

Q: It's raining!
A: This is a Zelda game - what do you do if you want to control the weather?

Q: I can't beat the miniboss! Help?
A: The magical miniboss isn't a fight - it's a puzzle. One involving your newest little toy. But if you can't figure it out, here's how to beat that cloaked dweeb:
Spoiler: show
You have to shoot through it, grab the fire behind it, and drag the fire back through it.
