Mod. Edit: this is a topic from October, 2000. Check the dates. Please take that into account before commenting on this being a new quest. Also, the links don't work.
-----
"The Longest Journey" is here. This is yet another account of Link's early battles against Gannon. Find the 8 triforce segments with help from the underground Resistance movement. Then head to Death Mountain for a final showdown with Gannon and his fiercest minions.
New version of the Lost Hills, and also a region called the Lost Lake (don't worry, it does NOT feature 8 million raft branches you have to guess). Easy areas, moderate areas, sick demented areas, something for everyone. I hope it pleases.
Without furthur adieu...!!

notes
no, it's not BS Zelda, so if you hate the classic gfx, don't flame me over it. The sequel will be BS Zelda, unless I get so much feedback saying NOT to use that, then I won't.
No secret arrow tiles, but everything else is fair game.

Oh btw
Feedback is appreciated. There's an email in the Readme and I added a topic to the other board. Kind of stinks that no one is around right now...
Forgot some info
This quest is 100% Complete and should be Bug Free!! Haven't seen any comments yet, so I thought I'd point this out. I know there's a lot of half-done quests out there. This is the first, last, etc etc release. 
Sounds like a good quest! I'll have to play it once I get all my school work out of the way.
Bug free quest...sounds too good to be true

I'm not kidding... I went through it screen by screen, played it without cheats 3 times over. I literally had dozens of pages of notes as I painstakingly fixed everything... tile by excruciating tile.
The only "bugs" are general Zelda Classic bugs... like being on the ladder over water, getting hit and being bumped to other tiles... or whistling out of a fairy with life filling and getting a bad sound to play constantly. I can't control that, but there are no DESIGN bugs, how's that
If something behaves odd or different, 999 of 1000 times I'll bet you I meant it that way, as a secret/surprise. For example there are caves you open "indirectly" from other screens... totally INTENTIONAL!
How would you open caves from another screen? The only thing I can think of that would do that is the 3 stariway warps. After you go through one, the others appear...is that how you did it?
BTW, I'm gonna start playing your quest, I'll have feedback up soon

Yeah. I'm not giving much away, because one of the guys in the game will tell you about this phenomenon while you're in the "Southwest" (second) Overworld.
Hey! Like your quest so far. I found level 2 and 3 before finding level 1, but that's ok. I don't go up at the beginning like most normal people.
I liked that cave you have leading to the sword and I did like level 1. It was pretty challenging for a first level. I don't know about the room with the 4 moldorms, but the rest is great. I ran outta bombs though and need some more to beat the dodongo.
But do you think you'll make it so you can hit space and see the overworld map? From exploring a little it looks like it would really help. Besides, this is "The Longest Journey", you should help us out a litte...
Well I'm gonna keep playing, looks promising!

There's a definite **reason** there's no overhead map 
I figured people would have grabbed bombs in a shop before level 1, so I only left the one bomb room in the level (and if you saw the Zquest map editor, there's nowhere to put more rooms off level 1 anyway!). Good to know for next time
Glad you liked the first cave. Level 1 is much easier with the wooden boomerang... did you find it (not the one for sale) ?
I'm not sure about the rules, maybe we should continue this in the ZC Discussion thread (I set one up for Longest Journey over there). I don't want to get this moved and closed for being off topic - as it still
has the quest announcement!!)

No, I haven't found the boomerang, but I think I know which room it is in

Nope, I haven't found much of anything.
Having to fight tons of dodongo's in the 2nd and 3rd dungeons is really a pain. It's beginning not to be as fun as I thought.
We'll see. I really outta stop playing people's quests and start making one of my own...I think I'll do that!

There's just 3 dodongos in #2 and one with the Aquamentus in #3 that I can think of -- I'd hardly call that a lot. You just have to get the bomb timing down right. bomb, pause, bomb, pause, stab. 2 in, 4 back.
Every level in 'Longest Journey' starts off with a slightly different version of the previous boss you have to fight.
If you aren't liking this one, you must really hate AlphaDawg's ... I can win mine, but I get creamed in his, and there's no special secret I use in mine to win.
if level 3 is driving you crazy here's a hint: go straight up. The power bracelet is in the top room (you'll need it to get the white sword)... kill the 6 pols voice by using the doorway as shelter. I've done it with the wooden sword many times. You just have to get there with full life to make it easy. If you're stuck, the letter is in that no-level-number dungeon out in the east woods. With potions and the new sword, you should cruise through L3.
If you can work your way past L7 and to the Southwest, you'll see some cool stuff, so hang in there
Actually, Alpha Dawg's 3rd quest is my favorite quest from the forums! It took me about 92 tries to beat it, but it got me hooked.
I didn't really wanna criticize your quest or anything, sorry if that's how I sounded. I think I'm just getting tired of quests in general. Between playing them and debugging like 3 in development, it's really drained me.
Hopefully if I take a break from playing ZC for a while, I'll come back and finish yours. Cause I really wanna beat it since you worked so hard on it

Yeah, it sucks that I spent so much time making it good when a bunch of people released things way ahead of time that had major bugs.
Since you're on hiatus, I hope you get some of your team to take up the cause. The quest WAS meant to be a huge challenge, but also beatable by anybody who is persistent and employs good strategy (and maybe a little luck).
Hey pleitorian i played your quest some !!!
found sword and wooden boomerang and found levels 1,2,3, got to work some long hours for the next 13 days yrs two weeks it takes me about a 1 1/2 hours to get to and that to get home so i`ll not be on the computer till about the first of nov. but the play time !!!

NASTYTANG: TANGS THAT DERAMS ARE MADE OF!!
ALERT -- TO PLAYERS OF LONGEST JOURNEY
I have to upload it, but I have an update to Longest Journey. There was a small bug on the overworld map, but the worse problem was that you couldn't get the red ring in level 9 (don't worry, I doube anybody has had enough time to get there yet).
You can download the new version as of 12 Noon EST on 10/21 (Saturday -- tomorrow). Don't worry, you won't lose your progress!!
(and if you want a real challenge, play the one where you can't get the red ring... heheh)
I feel like such a heel announcing bug free and having this happen, but I found it playing the quest through again, and you'd all be really mad about the lack of a red ring... especially once you see level 9!!
Hey... long time no comments... I was wondering how people are enjoying the quest or if they're still playing it
Geez!!!!!
You revived TWO topics that were two years old!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!
I hope you know that PLeitorian's last post was in February 2001. Did you think you would get a response???
wow he triple posted 2 times. That is EVIL!
That's a double-triple-post. :laughing:
Don't mean to rent-a-mod, but Link is an annoying member, he thinks he can do anything he wants, it's time he learned, perhaps a ban?
I think you mean pLeitorian double triple-posted... over a year and a half ago! Check the dates on these posts you complain about, people!
Oh my. Topped topics. Amazing.
I've seen the journey.qst before. I think I know what the quest is. However, I would have to confirm. At present, I will not be updating the links; if I do, it will be once the correct quest is found.
And there are so many smilies in this topic that it's not funny...
Cyclone
Why the hell does Link reply to a one year old topic??
Because he's an idiot. It's not the only thing he's done, either, he claims to have access to things only DN has.
Link, don't worry you'll get the hang of the boards, and Zeldalord consider this your first warning for flaming, and know that I'll have my eye on you from here on.
And you will not be warned again about playing the rent a mod here :|
Got it?
pLeitorian,
I can't download your quest. Every time I try I get the message that I can't download from boardarmageddon.com. Am I doing something wrong? I do want to try your quest.

I am afraid (as noted by Cyclone at the top of this post) that both pLeitorian and his quest are long gone. However, it may be possible to e-mail him, or he may randomly show up again and we can demand his quest. They sometimes do pop up after an eternal hiatus.
