link's retirement

I found and bombed that wall you mentioned, but I'm still short a key! I'm missing the one for the door in the starting room.

Okay, I've shot every statue I can in level 3 and nothing happened with any of them, save for the secret passage in the main room. I used arrows, boomerang, and even hookshot when possible. I am still short a key. Can you PM me with a list of key locations in level 3? I swear I've searched everywhere I can, but its not turning up.

Have you blown the whistle in the room with water in the begining of the level? There is a secret in there if you blow the whistle then push a block.

Yes, I did. I've figured out a way to do this without the key I'm missing, but it involves restarting the whole game, which I'd rather not do.

It's kinda hard to say what you're missing without being there with you. Can you show me everywhere you've been and what keys you've gotten from where?

Never mind, I re-did the game and bypassed the door using a glitch that lets the player go up through a door that suppossedly should lead down and into the spiral room with the gels and wallmasters.

I seemed to have just enough keys up to the room with water on one side with both a key block and locked door. I opened the block and went down, getting the magical boomerang, but there was no key in there anywhere.

But that's all in the past, and I'm looking for level 5 right now.

Okay, I beat Lv 5 and found everything of value in it, I think..

But I can't get into the two NE rooms or the SE room on the second floor.

Could you PM me with some help please?

Have you gotten the ladder and boots? If you have, I don't understand what rooms you are refering to. Can you give me a pic of the area of the map that you are refering to so I can see how I can help.

Second floor of level 5

XXOO
XXXX
XXXO

X=a room I've been in
O=a room I haven't

Got the boots, got the ladder. Likely nothing important in these rooms, but I want to know how to get there anyway.

Also, where, generally, is the second ring found?

Found the red ring in lvl 8. And I must say, with a little creative maneuvering I was able to get to the triforce chamber without facing the boss. (I went back and beat it anyway for the heart container.)

Is the red ring the only treasure in lvl8?

How many heart containers are in the Darknut kingdom and the mountain area after it? I'm not asking for locations yet, just a number.

Drat. That means I missed 1 somewhere.

Any chance I could get a PM of a list of locations? I'm afraid I can't really recall where all I've visited now.

Never mind. Found them all now. I'm off to the secret dungeon for the last sword upgrade. :3

One more thing, there is an empty space between the wallet and the flippers on the equipment screen. What goes there?

Never mind again. Nice trick with the invisible enemies though.

I am currently in level 9 and at my wits end. I have everything, gold ring, both arrows, map, compass, and the boss key.

I just can't find my way to the blasted door!

Edit: Sorry, found it. Currently hitting myself for being stupid.

Glad you finally beat it. I look forward to hearing from you about Zelda's Quest for Link (Link's Retirement 2)

Well, kind of neat Quest thru level 1. Too much repetition getting to Level 2, because everytime I die trying to go thru the spikes, I end up back where I started. Gets way too boring, since it looks like I won't be getting thru the spikes anytime soon and who knows how much more there is to get thru until you get to another place you can start from?

If you're refering to the spikes in level 1, they're quite simple to get around. Have you tried pushing blocks?

I finally got thru them. So then I go to Level 2. YaY! I get to wait for various enemies to get across the spikes so I can kill them and push the blocks. Problem! There are so many enemies along the way that I have already died several times trying to get thru. So then of course I have to WAIT for these SAME enemies to come across the blocks AGAIN, and AGAIN, ad nauseum.

This isn't bad enough? Each time I "Continue" I am back to 3 hearts to try to get thru on. This is supposed to be fun?

Sorry, but not hardly.

I understand. This quest WAS my first custom, so I admit it wasn't the greatest. The other 2 are much better as far as gameplay is concerned.

The begining of LR1 is a little difficult but gets easier as you go on.

Sorry. I was a bit frustrated. Nothing annoys me like going thru the same enemies over and over. I will try LR1 later. Again, sorry for being so grouchy.
BTW, Retirement would have been a pretty neat Quest without that. I don't mind dieing but there is a limit.

Ooops, sorry again. That WAS LR1, so I will try Quest for Link. I wish I had the patience to go further in LR1 but I don't. I have already died 28 times and am only part way into the Level 2 Dungeon.

I completely understand. You will see that LR2 is much better and can tell that I was still learning how to use the editor.
Heh, wait until you get to LR3. Even better. 😊

I can't seem to find one key in level 4. I got the boss key and beat the level, but there is one locked door near reached through one of the ponds past the pond to the boss. Any hints on where I might have missed? I know I got the one in the room at the bottom of the top level and can't remember any others. Thanks

I think you are referring to a door that leads to a fairy well.
As long as you have the 2 items from here, I wouldn't worry about it. You should be fine.
