Did you ever find the secret there

i just looked it up because gently caress it and
1. hint in the japanese version is "you cant use arrows if you run out of rupees" so this is the one line in the game thats totally unique to english
2. it could be the rupee secret at the top right of the map behind an invisible wall (which i will not be using since i cheated here) but people arent 100% sure about this since it could be referring to a few other spots

also, the magic sword hint is "meet the old man at the grave" thats loving brutal lmao

playing zelda 1 makes me appreciate the graphical secret hints in lttp and onward lol...... not sure how you were supposed to figure out the location of dungeon 7 0_0 i even bombed all around and burned stuff in that tile but didnt think of the dang flute......

The actual worst part of second quest is the new red/blue bubble enemies. Red bubbles lock your sword permanently if you touch them, and blue bubbles remove the lock if you touch them. Usually they're in the same room but then you have rooms like this



with no blue bubbles anywhere in the vicinity.

I'm like halfway through the first quest. Been procrastinating hard but I will get on it before the deadline

Halfway through the second, don't know if I'll finish. Let's bomb every surface, burn every bush, push every rock from all four directions, and blow the whistle on every screen. Reward: a dungeon with red bubbles and 8 blue wizzrobes in one room.

I uncovered dungeon 8. I found a room full of blue darknuts and just hit pause to take a small Zelda break. I can't handle this right now.

Gave the randomizer a playthrough just now, it's still just plain fun finding all the dungeon locations and exploring the randomized dungeons. Dungeon 9 was kind of huge this time around.



I'll probably stream a run later today if my internet cooperates.

Also quick update on the poll for the next game:

Symphony of the Night - 14
Metal Gear Solid - 8
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - 6

Looking like SotN is going to be the one.

Done the first quest. Might do second over the weekend, not decided yet. seemed like a thing with the wizzrobes was to always be "between" squares, not fully on one or the other. they didn't seem to shoot if you weren't fully on the same row as them. or maybe that was just me.

The shooting isn't even the problem since big shield blocks it, it's the blue assholes bumping into you and taking two hearts apiece.

First place finished in like 36 minutes. I want to learn some of the tricks they use, especially the one that lets you clip through blocks to skip darknut rooms
