Also did for the maze which was a bit stupid. I just didn't get it. I could get the flaming torches to appear so I thought that was a clue. Turns out no. I kept hoping for some kind of feedback but gave up. So yeah it was in a book.

The clues were all there - a book with writing too small to read, a magnifying glass, and I think a phone hint too if you get stuck

I read the books really early on and completely forgotten about the small text.

On the jumping thing. I think part of why it took me so long to remember (beyond being thick and tired) is that the game misleads you a lot in terms of height. There are lots of things you should be able to jump over (those small walls which you can chuck bombs over but nothing else even though its as tall as your ankle). I continuously found myself trying to walk "behind" tall enemies thinking that I'd be safe. Its not really an issue with the game as such but more just how I read it. I'm sure its the same with Zelda 1 and ALTTP but in that I wasnt been told to start jumping over things. So when the moment comes and its arms are spinning at you my instinct wasn't to jump over it. It was to try and move around it. It actually works brilliantly once I'd started hopping over the arms and was shooting the bastard in the eye.

I'd happily give this an 8 by today standards. Back then I'd have given it a 9. I'd want to have given it a 10 but between a few things along the way plus stuff like the acorn texts and the you touched something heavy/cold/cracked/hairyandsmellyandcoveredinagoo my brain wouldn't have let me.

Think on the whole I enjoyed it more then ALTTP. ALTTP does a few things a bit better. The dungeons feel more distinct and the overworld is a little easier to just get about in. But some of that is probably down to Game Boy vs. SNES.

Anyway. I'm not sure what to do next. The Oracle games are next up but I dunno if I should go straight in. Or take another wee break. Bit worried about doing them back to back and getting jaded. I had Seasons back in the day. Cant remember how far I got. Pretty far in. I remember being determined to not use a guide and getting badly stuck and never going back.

Still prefer Minish Cap

Looking forward to it.

Minish Cap is the second best 2D Zelda after Link's Awakening

Objectively

Help, I'm being trolled

Yeah, I need to play the Oracle games as they're the ones I played longest ago. I'm taking a break from Zelda for a moment as I got a bit bored towards the end of Link's Awakening.
I remember them being rather good and they've got some of my favourite sidekicks in. Capcom did a really good job with the 3 Zeldas they made and I wouldn't mind if they did some more for a handheld (if that exists any more with NX).

You should be banned anyway.

So thanks to all the old Zelda I've been playing I've been inspired artistically. Been looking into trying out some pixel art. Today I had my first crack at it. Made the Hylian Shield.

Going to try a Master Sword and then Navi. Just for some practice.

Korezom was a lot of fun! It got a bit too ecchi for me at times though.

Master Sword-

I like those designs, TWA. What program are you using to draw them? I'm tempted to have a go, too .

Just shop at the moment. Zoom right in, select the pencil tool and make sure its 1 pixel size. Then when you enlarge the image make sure you use the option that doesn't blur it.

Navi-

[Pedz]

Eurgh Navigation, could've gone with tatl or tael.

Aah... Photoshop. I know that is the most popular system but I've never even tried it. I keep thinking that I'll try and grab Photoshop Elements (which would do the job?) for my iMac one day, but I have never got round to it.

Navi...

Looking good, man. Matt, whenever you draw *anything* now, you know what I'm gonna say...
