Part 7: The Legend Of Zelda - NES

The next dungeon was under the lake with no fairy. Playing the flute made it
appear. I found a guy who said "There's a secret in the tip of the nose". After
exploring all I could the level seemed rather small, so I tried blowing up a
wall. I kept moving along and had to fight 3 Dodongo's, then wnet into a room
where the man sold me more bomb capacity. Eventually I got to a room with a
monster. I handed him the meat I had bought and he moved aside. This led me to
a room with a staircase in which I had to fight some of the worst enemies in the
game to get to a red candle. Later on I was able to find another Digdogger, and
after that, more Dodonga's. Once through that room, I found a secret passage to
the final section, which led to the boss, which was another dragon. Grabbing the
Tri-Force, I left this dungeon, and set out for the next one.

Part 6: The Legend Of Zelda - NES

At this point, I had enough hearts to be able to get the last sword. In the
graveyard under one of the gravestones had a secret cave. After this I went to
the sixth dungeon

Going right, I found a guy that said "Aim for the eyes of Gohma". Then I
continued to the left. Going up I found another dragon to kill and after that I
was able to find a secret passage with a magic wand. There was also another man
that said "There are secrets where fairies don't live". After searching around
and being killed heaps of times, I was able to find the other secret passage
which led towards the boss Gohma. Taking the advice of the old man, I pulled out
my trusty arrows and shot him in the eye, when they eventually opened. I then
grabbed the Tri-Force piece and left.

Part 5: The Legend Of Zelda - NES

I went to a cave with an old woman in it next and gave her the parchment. She
now has potions to buy. I also went and collected a heap of money so I could get
the blue ring. Under one of the statues near the top left corner of the lake
there was a secret shop. I also found a power bracelet under a different statue,
after crossing the river. This lets you push some rocks around.

With these power ups and stuff, I went to the fifth dungeon. Going up then left
I came across a guy who said that "Digdogger hates certain kind of sound". After
searching around for a while, and finding that there were dead ends where there
was supposed to be more rooms, I found that you could blow up some walls. I
found one secret place in the bottom left corner, which took me to the top area.
Once I found that, I came across another secret room and found the flute. Once
I'd gotten back and into the boss room, I used the flute, which made Digdogger
shrink, then eventually beat him, so I could collect the container heart and
the Tri-Force piece.

Part 4: The Legend Of Zelda - NES

I went exploring a bit next because there was a new sword mentioned in the
walkthrough I looked at. Up in the top corner of the world, I eventually found
it with a centaur guarding it. I also found a parchment which The guy said to
take to an old woman in a cave.

With the raft, I went to the centre of the map, where the lake was and used it
to get to the fourth dungeon. I worked my wasy around until into the top right
corner, and moved a stone, which revealed a hidden staircase. This had a ladder
here, which allows you to go over water. Going over the water in one room, then
right to find the map, then going up I fight the boss from the last dungeon.
The next room has a guy telling you about a waterfall. Going right, I went to
a couple more rooms until I got to a boss, which seemed to have snakes coming
out of it. After killing it, I grabbed the heart and the Tri-Force Piece.

Part 3: The Legend Of Zelda - NES

Now to the third dungeon. It's much easier to get to because it close to the
start. Going around to the left, I found the compass, and a secret room with a
raft. Coming back out, I found the map to the right, and headed towards the
boss. Dropping a few bombs seems to be to easiest way to beat the big pirahna
plant thing. I got another container heart and a piece of the Tri-Force.

Part 2: The Legend Of Zelda - NES

Back outside of the cave, I started towards the second dungeon, but unfortunatly
was killed on the way. After several more attempts I was able to get there. The
statues around the front also come to life when you touch them, so I carefully
removed them one by one. Then I went into the dungeon.

Going right, up and right again I found the compass, then left up 2 and right I
found the map. In the room between those I was able to knock over a few enemies
and got a blue boomerang from them. Continuing up and in one of the right rooms
I found a man who says "Dodongo dislikes smoke". Going further up and only
having 1 and 1/2 health left, I switched my secondary weapon to bombs, assuming
that might be Dodonga's weakness. This took a few tries but I found that you
need to drop the bombs pretty much directly in front of him, so that he ends up
eating them. I grabbed the heart container and the Tri-Force piece.

Gaming Throwback 2, Part 1: The Legend Of Zelda - NES

So I'm kinda new to the Zelda universe, and I figured I'd give the original game
a go.

First move seems to be to go into the cave to collect a sword. Then come out
and fight a bunch of monsters. It also seems to be easier when you have full
health, because you can throw the swords at enemies. Go right then up 4 screens,
then left and find the first cave.

I went into the left and right and got keys from the enemies in those rooms,
then up 2 rooms to get another key and right to get a compass. I then went back
to the left and around until I found a map. There was a room on the way, that I
haven't figured out how to get into yet. I then went up and followed the path
to where a staircase was. Pushing the stone out of the way, it reveals a secret
room with a bow. I went back to the map room and went through the next couple
of doors and had to fight a dragon. It was pretty simple, but that's what you'd
expect for a first boss. I picked up the container heart, went through the door
and picked up the first piece of the Tri-Force.
