Getting back on this one, I probably consider this one more urgent of needs.
Edit: Much better on Lv. 1, still very hard, but passable. Players might not like grinding for shields though, and casual players will do it due to the Wizzrobes.
Edit 2: Finally found your cheap shield shop, nice place to put it. Now we're in business.
Edit 3: Through Lv. 2. Solid, hard if you're not smart.
Edit 4: Bug: 1st Quest Lv. 2 Entrance and 1st Quest Lv. 5 Entrance: Lake doesn't dry.
Edit 5: Though Lv. 3, seemed a bit too easy. Maybe Flashing Ropes really are that tough without a White Sword.
Edit 6: OK, we got a problem:
I got your clue: "Play a song where Peahats Dance"
Played it west of the Lost Woods, got a cheap shield shop
Played it east of Spectacle Rock: Got "A Secret to Everybody" (didn't take it yet)
Everywhere else with Peahats, nothing.
I imagine this is where you find Lv. 4, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Did you forget a flag, or am I just oversighting something?
