Link to the Heavens Released

Anyway, thanks a bunch for playing my quest. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. 😊

I'll be sure to continue with Sarpadia.

Do you use any special software to make those videos? As I mentioned in another post, if I were to make tutorial updates somewhere down the road it would be via YouTube.

If you need Sarpadia help you know where to go... my thread's only got about 1100 replies to go to catch this one!

Got it thanks Dan, and yeah I must of been one row off when I was counting rooms. That was sneaky, but I did find the underwater stairs 😊

Status I went on and beat lvl 6 and now collecting keys for 7 ugh :uhoh:

Finally finished. I figured I would avoid the problem, by keeping Zelda Classic open until I finally beat it, but an unwise Reset choice sent me back to the middle of level 8 while I was fighting Vaati. Swore off the game, but had to go back. I rebeat both levels in record time, and after five or six tries, finally beat Vaati. Sadly though, the credits crashed ZC. When I restarted the game, I found myself back at the beginning of level nine. What a pain. I thought 2.10 was supposed to be stable? It happened while I was starting the game too, but when I tried it again it worked fine. Maybe if I go beat Vaati again it'll work.

This quest seems to have that kind of power. No matter how frustrated people become with it (*COUGH* Level 7 *COUGH*), it always seems to pull them back in. That's a good thing, I suppose.

Yeah I'll vouche for lvl 7 being the most evil thing on the face of the earth I have ever seen ever ! But its so addicting I can't stop exploring :laughing:

I'm still fooling around lvl 7, gotten no keys and no items 😞 But somehow the rooms just keep coming and coming.

Nope. Tried it again, simply can't get through the credits without the game crashing. Dammit, I wanted to play the end game too. But, hey, I beat Vaati on the first try. The lightning dodging is what always forces my first potion, though since it's the same pattern I suppose I could memorize it given enough time. This time I didn't even need the second one.

I guess it's on to the next one. Think I'll go with AlphaDawg's new one before going for EoT.

Try running Zelda Classic in fullscreen mode. Windowed mode often crashes during cut scenes. For instructions, [click here].

I always use CamStudio. It's a very simple, yet powerful video and audio recording device. The only downside is that it won't record video displayed by media players (such as Windows Media Player, VLC, JetAudio, etc.). I then use Windows Movie Maker to edit the videos.

Thats funny actually cause Just a few days ago I rated this quest a 5 and then tried to "cheat the system" and rate it again, well of course it wouldn't let me. Then I came across this post while just scouring the thread maybe looking for an answer to the hell that is lvl 7.

I can't even start ZC in fullscreen mode, so meh.

Viewing the credits is not a huge deal, but there is a new section after the credits. I suppose you could defeat Vaati, and then as soon as the credits start, save (or continue). You should then be able to go to the new area. Just go the way you would normally go to the volcanic wasteland.

Hi guys, I'm stuck in level 5 in a room with 4 spots to light with the candle but i don't know how to move them...could anyone help me?I'd appreciate it alot. thanks!

Is it the room with the pond in the middle and 4 candles that you can push? You only get rupees from it, but you can push them as far as they will go in one direction, then dive where the 4 cross in the center.

Hi. I made it to THE END. I got the boots... I went back to the past, to the lava wasteland. What are the boots for? What do you do in the past?

All you can really do after the credits is get the two magic upgrades, the Indigo Tunic, and the boots (and get kicked out by the king after attacking him 😃). The boots are for the sake of completeness (they protect you from damage combos, like cacti and spikes). The "past" is so you can get the bomb upgrade in the Volcanic Wasteland if you missed it before (and so you can go back to the Volcanic Wasteland or Level 9 for whatever reason). (Wow, I really used a lot of parentheses.)

Where exactly is the first key for level 4?:uhoh:

Okay, I finally updated Link to the Heavens again. A few minor changes/bug fixes/typo fixes were made (may I direct you toward Hestone Mountain?).

As always, you can download it [here] if you want it.

Pineconn wrote:(may I direct you toward Hestone Mountain?).

Well got some time this weekend and finished lvl 8 finally, nicely done I like the idea of the rooms that go outside the main dungeon. Was very frustrating at times with just the amount of screens that you must go through and on most of those outdoor screens your on very small "catwalks" I call them with a ton of Blue Wizzrobes. Not much room to move around in there and without the mirror shield for alot of those screens I was getting rather frustrated, nearly quit a few times, just didn't have the "fun factor" that the majority of LttH has is all.

Despite that though nicely put together level as I've come to expect from this quest. Onward to lvl 9 !

This was the fundamental design of Level 8. For the most part, the prior dungeons have been centered around solving puzzles and navigating labyrinths. I decided to make Level 8 different from this; that is, more linear and with a slight increase in difficulty. You'll be glad to know that Level 9 goes back to the good ol' "puzzle bashing."

So basically, it's like Hell was thrown to the surface in a volcanic eruption, and it was called "Level 9: Catycalism Spire". 😃

Also, the Volcanic Wastleand is the Underworld thrown to the surface, right? At the end of EoT, Ganon was trapped in thew Underworld. So the violent uproar of lava is cause by him trying to escape, right? And the tower is called Catycalism Spire to indicate it was built on lava thrust to the surface by Catycalism Crater, right? I'm asking to many questions, right?

Just finished it.

Time - 31 hours, 30 minutes

Lives - 79.

Amazing Quest Pineconn! Thanks!

Congrats on beating it!

I couldn't agree more. Level 7 is seriously twisted. 😱

EDIT: YES!!! Finally got the wand!

Please help me.
I can't find the passage to the mountains.

edit: Fantastic quest though!
edit2: Nevermind. Got it.

Wow I don't even know how to get my sword. Can someone help me with this?

*stumbles backwards into the thread*
Fight me if you can Glenn! Le resistance will live on!
*looks over*

Oh, the sword. Well. if I recall investigate the blue house in the south of th town. Check out the chimney.

Back to the fight!

EDIT: Sorry about this. Just spurred on while thinking about the drama gong on right now, and how this part of the forum continues as normal.

Uh... sure. That sounds about right.

It's because the quest's story is so wide open that anyone can make anything up and call it a day. Naturally, the story was not the focus of this quest. At all.
