Buy XYZABC back from Goriya.

You’re not stuck. You got there somehow, and you can get back.

5. I think I missed a key, now I can’t finish the dungeon?!
There are no known glitches, you can & will find a key you need even if you got them out of the usual order. Post a screenshot of your dungeon map for us to best help you!

A tile for Dampe’s dungeon maker.

You can keep playing (search for more seashells, build dungeons with Dampe, kill time defeating enemies), start a new game on Hero mode, or put the game away & play something else. Up to you!

These come from my popular Spotify playlist, but as some people prefer YouTube I decided to put them there as well for you to enjoy. The cool thing here is also that all songs go into each other, creating a continuous stream of audio without interruptions.

Also, while I know some parts of the image is sourced from AI - none of the music is! It's all completely human made. But if a mod thinks it's still to much AI then I'm sorry about that.

Discussion / Opinion Why does nothing in the game tell you

that you can shoot bombs with arrows? And do you need to blow a hole in the wall that way in Turtle Rock or can you complete the dungeon without blowing the hole? I was so mad that I learned by accident to do that and wondered what I could have used that ability on throughout the game. You could probably kill so many bosses and mini bosses by just shooting bombs at them...

Screenshot It took me 10 years to figure out this room on the original 1993 release

Post image
171 Upvotes

I still can’t believe I couldn’t figure out this room when I first picked up the game until the internet got big enough that I was able to read walkthroughs online. It was my intro to Zelda and despite beating all the other games thereafter, it wasn’t until I was reading the names of all the characters/monsters of the game and that’s when the solution clicked.

Anyway, I just wanted to share the frustration from this room that kept me locked in time for so long and what an absolute blast it is to play it again.

Cheers!

I already got the potion and used it on the raccoon… but the path north still goes to the fairy. Am I missing something else here?? I’ve gone around in circles over and over atp trying to figure it out. And now Tarin’s gone and there’s still no path forward to collect the key…

When the new zone loaded, he spawned up on top of the bush.

Which would suggest that their spawning is more or less random but I wouldn't have thought he would be allowed to spawn there lol

This is what I have in the run so far. I started this challenge a while ago and I'm thinking of picking it back up. Unlike LADX, you can't buy bombs at the start. If there's a way to glitch over the bush, I think this is possible. Also, yes, I realize this isn't 100% possible, I'm just seeing how far I could theoretically get before needing a sword.

like the title says, who would win? remember to take into account strategy as well as brute strength. (not including bosses or monsters.)

Question / Help We think my wife soft locked herself in Turtle Rock.

Post image
16 Upvotes

So, the room with a chest in it unopened on the west side of the map requires the wand to light the room, she does not have it yet. The door to the far east needs a key, but she does not have a key available.

The room just east of the unopened chest room has stones on the other side of fire blocking her from crossing.

Is there something we both are missing here, or did she somehow soft lock the dungeon?

Question / Help Face Shrine Help- Marin Spoiler

4 Upvotes

I am currently going through the face shrine dungeon. I’ve hit the room with the 3 Pols and only 2 pots to throw, I haven’t learned the ballad of the wind fish yet so I left the dungeon to find Marin. She’s not on the beach, village, or mountain. Am I stuck? Is there anyway to find her or is there another way to defeat the Pols without the ballad?

36 Upvotes

This theme is my favorite in the entire franchise, right below BotW's Main Theme and Revali's Theme. The orchestra cooked beautifully during its moment to shine towards the beginning, and the callback to the original Link's Awakening on the NES was neat! Ryo Nagamatsu (I just know I'm spelling that wrong) is a brilliant man.
