Hi everyone,

I'm proud to announce the release of my second quest The Tao of Link. This quest took me 2 years to make & I am ready to show everyone what this quest is all about.

This quest uses the Pure Tileset & includes the following features :

- 2 complete (12 x 8) overworlds called Orient & Taoland;
- 2 small towns called Ping An Town & An Quan Town;
- 9 dungeons with multi-floors/multi-entrances;
- 5 elemental shrines with powerful element items;
- Superbly nice music, most of which are Chinese pop songs;
- Chinese characters representing the elemental shrines;
- Tons of secrets to explore & find;
- Pure Tileset with 2 new dungeon palettes;
- 24 Heart Containers with 36 HC Pieces to get.

Special thanks to Elise, Freedom & Joe for beta testing the quest.

Here's some of the screenshots :

It's a beautifull quest it's like entering a complete new world
you know from the minute you start it that it's a new Quest that you didn't play before .
Great work Ielen you finished your own Tao quest 😉

Okay - I'm totally stumped. I've gone everywhere I can go, bought all I could and still cannot find Level 1. I think I need the Ocarina - where is it.

Thanks for any help - I like spoilers so don't hesitate to send me a private email.

Thanks.

😮dd:

Level 1 look at the screens Ielen/cepat put on , it's the third screen burn the little bush to the right to enter 😉

Thanks elise & joe for responding...I'm going to lose my electricity power in about 45 mins, so I won't be able to respond to queries. But the power will be back tonight.

Hope you'll like the quest and enjoy the music 😊

This is another wonderful quest! Thanks you for your tremendous efforts.
Question...I have not been able to find the "Jewel" to access the Wood Shrine after finishing Level 3. Can you subtly direct me?
Thanks.

There isn't a barrel by the shrine...There is a statue of Link on both sides and a Guard on each side of the entrance.. Tried to bomb it open ,burn it open ,and several other things nothing works...Am I in the wrong place....I have finished Lv1,2,and 3...Help
:banghead:

Finished the Wood Shrine..got the hammer.. Having trouble in getting to Lv4.. Almost every way I go I am blocked...Hint please

Whistle to Lvl 3 triforce mark, then go left all the way. There's something to do with the sleeping guy 😊

Just out of curiousity, were you in another shrine earlier?

Help - stuck in Level 2 - can't proceed to some rooms cause I can't get some blocks to go down - think I need the magic boomerang. Where is it? So far have 1 key but can't get anywhere to use it. Am I missing something. Got through the maze ok.

Thanks for any help.

A proud Canuck.

Did you get a key in the top entrance & do you have the Red Lantern? If you did, then go back to bottom entrance, go Up, Right, then go Down to 1st floor. The Magic Boomerang is there 😊

Hey, Ielen, want to do those of us who are playing with a later beta a favor and click on the "view overworld map" rule? I'd really appreciate it!

Hi JayeM, okay I wil do that 😊

I just finished uploading the new updated file which has the overworld map enabled. Please kindly download the file at the link HERE.

Hope you don't mind seeing Gleeoks with missing neck on the 184.
Please let me know if you can see the overworld map.

Thank you 😊

Can someone please help me?

I love this game, but im stuck in level 1. I even finished the level but for the life of me, I can't get the bow... which I need for getting the HC, and other areas in the level!
I have tried for what feels like hours!

BTW: I am using the 184 player, and after downloading the update, the map works fine!

Hi csal, the bow is on floor 3/4. It's at the bottom west of the screen.
Glad you're enjoying the quest 😊

[FONT=Arial]undefined[/FONT]undefinedundefined 😃 This is such a great quest! My whole unzipped folder is all zeldaclassic quests. I just a Zelda fan. I got through level 1 and the earth shrine, have all the items for level two, now I just can't find my way to the boss key or room. Could someone please help me? Thanks Dragonstar

Hi Dragonstar, to reach Lvl 2 Boss, you have to look for the up/down door passage on Floor 2/2 first.
Then on Floor 1/2, you have to go Left, Down, Left, Warp to the other side & go Right (don't go left as that's the maze), Up & Warp to the room before the Boss.

Thanks for liking it 😊
