I don't have any big bombs. Is there a place I might buy any??? I know where you mean but don't have anything to blow it open. Please help. Thanks.

@ Boommaster:

After a while, MS-Word became a universal (although a bit proprietary) WYSIWYG document format, counter-reference to XHTML which is a universal semantics-based language, where there is no style and all you get is clean content and meaning. Originally Word was just meant to type stuff = P where SGML (grandparent of XHTML) was meant for writing up Physics reports easily.

Now, XHTML you can just view with your web browser, no need to download anything nowadays. Word docs aren't the same, but luckily, Microsoft made it so that you can get a Word Viewer without buying it. The latest version is 12.0.6038.3000 (�replacement� for version 2003). Hope that helps 😊 You can't make Word documents with that though.

Unfortunately, I don't think there are word viewers for anything but a Windows PC.

Although I thought I read that Word and WordPerfect became compatible a while ago 😕

Thanks Legend. I do have the WordPerfect that I can switch to Word but I couldn't get WinZip let me read that file. I am using Windows now and will download the Word Fiewer you suggested. Thanks again.

No problem Boommaster 😊 Just helping out so that you can get to read Matt and Jane's walkthrough to their ZQuest, the Legend of Zelda 1.5, which I hope to try out soon when I get my computer working. I understand what you mean, sometimes these things — like that WinZip can't open that file — happen.

The file wasn't zipped, Boomie, it was a plain DOC file. I wonder why you tried to open it with Winzip. ^^ Anyway, you can buy super bombs in one of the caves you need to burn with any sort of fire item (candle, wand, etc.). Did you try burning one of the green bushes when you're entering the desert area near the start? There's a small bunch of green bushes on the left hand wall side, try one of those in the upper area. 😊

Sorry bout that. When I downloaded the quest I assumed that the file in question was in that group. I have no idea where the DOC file might be. I have found Level 5 and playing it now. Thanks for the assistance though.

The DOC file is a separate download and the link has been posted in this very thread. ^^ I assumed you downloaded it after I gave the hint to the file. 😊 Anyway, have fun playing Level 5. 😊

I haven't downloaded the DOC file you mentioned. I am now looking for level 8. I assume I'll need the big bomb to open it but haven't bombed enough places yet. Thanks anyway.😊😊

Actually no, you don't need the big bomb for Level 8. The way how to find it has already been described in this thread (someone else had the same problem with Level 8).

Where can I get the walkthrough?? It is not with the current download package.

Level 8 is inside the north-west lake (right top end screen). Do you see the small island in the middle? Hit it with the fire boomerang from Level 7 and you should trigger the stair secret inside the lake. Swim inside and enter Level 8. 😊

Yeah, there are more shops than in the original, butt you can also get more money from any sort of enemy, and there are about 300 bonus rupees to get on the overworld, and another (guessing) 600 bonus rupees in all the eight dungeons. For example in Level 5, there are two bonus caves with 50 and 20 rupees inside. In each level (except 1 and 9), there is a heart container piece and a hint room (also in Level 1 and 9). 😊

Good luck finding the bonus money to buy your stuff in less time. 😊

BTW: If you're in Level 7 in the dark room with the blue-black blocks and bombing south, you'll end up nowhere. That bug has been fixed (bomb-wall replaced with normal wall). DL link is still the same.

EDIT: A walkthrough has been written by Jane and me! If you need help, feel free to download the MS Word document at http://wr2.vfusion.de/Lotz/Zelda15.doc ... have fun! 😊

Hmmm, it was posted on the bottom of the first page (look at the last paragraph). 😊

There's been a smallish problem with a locked door in Level 4. The door wasn't opened on both sides when using a level specific key. This mistake has now been fixed by opening the door manually on the other side. Download link is still http://wr2.vfusion.de/Lotz/zelda15.qst ... you can just replace the old QST file and keep your saved states, no problem!

I have made small updates: I lowered the prices for the costly items an also for some minor shop items, so you won't need too much time anymore to collect the money. The limits for the wallets have been lowered from 300 to 250 (with no wallet), from 600 to 500 (with the small wallet), and from 1200 to 1000 (with the large wallet). The highest priced item is still the "Mirror Shield", however it's now only 560 instead of 720 rupees. You will still need the large wallet to buy the mirror shield, however all the items are cheaper, also the wallets of course.

A few enemies have been made easier in the start of Level 2 and Level 3, at least I died too often at the Lanmolas, so I switched them to Moldorms in Level 2 and fewer Lanmolas in Level 3. 😊

The download link for the tutorial (slightly altered because of the price changes) and the quest itself is still the same.

Quest Link: http://wr2.vfusion.de/Lotz/zelda15.qst
Doc Link: http://wr2.vfusion.de/Lotz/Zelda15.doc

Okay, there is a new title for this entire quest and I will upload it to this quest database, so there is no further need of a self-hosted link!

The link for this quest will no longer work! And I'd like this thread to be locked since I'll make a new one for the final version of this quest. 😊
