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

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! |
Found the Magic Sword, finally! And it only took pressing on 100 graves and summoning 100 ghosts
