in Honor of 5th Quest

[Orithan]

I played the 3rd a while ago but never completed it because of its insane difficulty (by the time I quit, I had about 60 deaths). I managed to come close to beating level 3, but I found it just too much to handle.
However, maybe I should try again, see how far I can get before ragequitting.

Spoiler: show

I found Level 3, and I think I'll give it a try, but with 4 hearts and a sad wooden sword I don't know how well it'll go.

You stand very little chance there with your current equipment. From what I recall, there were plenty of Darknuts everywhere, including a room of 8 with shooting statues (That room holds a very helpful item for later on). Try to bring as many bombs as you can and when you are in non-shutter rooms or otherwise don't have to kill all of the enemies to proceed, kill all but one enemy (bubbles don't count as a last enemy here) because then they won't respawn later. Especially helpful on the overworld when you have to deal with the Lynels on Death Mountain.

Yeah, after killing eight Pol's Voice with a wooden sword, I decided to go find some hearts and the White Sword before going back, and in the process I came across Level 2.

Level 2 is WAY easier than Level 1, but you'll need to finish Level 1 first to have enough hearts for the White Sword (Which turns Zol rooms into recharge rooms). It's a good place to grind up some rupees, so I pulled together enough to buy the blue ring and wooden arrow. You'll need the blue candle before you can navigate this dungeon.

And it's got three bosses in it. Seriously, 3rd quest is made of evil!

I also played a little of 4th, but I can't get through the first dungeon (4 has boss keys, and I can't find them). The actual combat is much less severe than 3rd, though, so if you're struggling I recommend switching to 4th for a while to calm down.
