Oh hey, I was just checking in. This forum seems awfully dead for there just having been a major release. Perhaps I can help fire up new interest in Zelda Classic. I graduate in a month, and then I'll be free to try to promote some of this stuff, perhaps through Youtube playthroughs.
Glad to see you're active, Gleeok; I remember the name. Good luck with the fix, and keep me posted. I look forward to finishing this quest. Any other classic-style challenges like this one?
EDIT: I could've probably shaved half an hour off the time, but I am a completionist and insisted in picking up every single item and opening every single passageway in the game (including all bombable walls). Ended with 16 rupees short of a perfect inventory. So call me nutty.
