A Big Hunk of Hyrule

[Jamian]

Hi,

for those of you who've played my previous quest "Aloha from Hyrule" (and those who haven't) I'm happy to introduce to you my latest quest "A Big Hunk of Hyrule"!

download link: http://www.armageddongames.net/zelda...uest.php?q=427

It is a classic 8-bit Zelda quest, using classic tiles/weapons/enemies but trying to twist the game to make it fresh and new :)

It is harder than the original game, but not super hard like some custom quests can be.

If you play it and enjoy it I'd be delighted to hear from you.

Cheers!

I gave it a try but since I can't find the sword I'm ready to give up. I bought the boomerang and have gotten thru most of level 1. I'm stuck in the room with the arrow pointing to the right. I can't figure out fast enough which block opens the door and I've died quite a few times already. I haven't even gotten the sword yet. I really could use 3 hearts there.

[Jamian]

You will find the sword, but later on. It's normal that you are only using your boomerang for the time being.

The block you have to push is roughly in the middle of the arrow.

There is a heart container you can get at the beginning, by pushing armos like you were doing to find rupees. It is on a screen with armos behind a river (you just have to enter the screen from the correct spot to be behind the river).

It IS, by the way, more difficult than the original game. But it's a breeze compared to quests like DemoEx, etc. :)

Thanks for the help Jamian. I'll keep going and maybe I'll get lucky and get the sword eventually.

[Jamian]

You truly cannot miss the sword once you are supposed to obtain it. Until then, don't worry about it and keep your boomerang at hand :)

I managed to complete Level 1 without that extra heart container, but I left some rooms behind. I'm guessing this is normal. I also successfully found Level 2, but I forgot my lunch. So now I'm searching for my lunch.

[Jamian]

The lunch is in level 1. If you have the map you can spot the rooms you haven't visited. It's indeed normal that you can't visit all of them at this point, but there's one you can access.

I was successful in finding it, thanx.
I now made it as far as Level 4 before getting stuck again.
I have 4 keys and the red candle. The last thing I picked up was the map next to the boss room. Can't figure out where to go next.

[Jamian]

IIRC with 4 keys you have found all the keys you need. Now you need to find doors to use them on :) Look at the map and search for secret passages leading to the unvisited rooms adjacent to the rooms you can already visit.

Other than the fact that the enemies don't match the weapons given, this isn't that bad.
Only thing I would suggest is after level 4 you need lunch again, however you need it twice.
Once in level 4 and once to access level 5. I can see someone getting stuck this way. Unless there is a spot I missed in level 4 or on the way to level 5. (I did find the one stairs that the old lady gives you one.) Almost thought about going back and using it.
I am now in search of the Blue ring.
