Gregory's ServerProgress update: I’m on Dungeon 6. Despite buying a blue ring (armor!) and getting most of the heart containers, the Wizzrobes in this dungeon are still kicking my ass! I need to find the Magic Sword, but have no idea where it is.

Found the Magic Sword, finally! And it only took pressing on 100 graves and summoning 100 ghosts Update: after realizing I had somehow missed picking up the Triforce in L4 (despite completing the entire map!) and the Magic Rod in L6, I am now ready for Death Mountain! Like-Likes make my blood run cold. 25 years before Dark Souls’ basilisks, and just as terrifying. All because of what a pain in the ass it is to get a new shield! Incredible design. I still have no idea what the “right” way to kill Blue Wizzrobes is. I just spam my sword at them and take a lot of damage until they’re dead. Standing on the threshold, realizing that I have no idea what Ganon even LOOKS like in this game. Can’t even picture the sprite. No idea how this game ends whatsoever. Going in blind. Chills! It is done. I have joined Butt, as the owner of a save file for The Second Quest. What a game. I’m truly blown away by how great it was. So many moments that hit perfectly; so many design decisions that STILL slap. Just brilliant. I’m so glad I did this. Might write up more thoughts here or on Cohost at some point, but for now, just gonna sit with this hard-won victory. What a game! |
Also: I realized that the sword BUTT is holding means that this is a Second Quest save file. The previous owner of this cartridge beat the game! Great work, BUTT
