Zelda 2 - 8/1/1 Challenge (Part 8A)

This is my challenge run of Zelda 2. I am unaware of too many challenge runs for the game. I have completed challenges similar to this many times on my NES but this will be the first time I document it. My hope is to inspire others to explore the depths of challenge you can derive from this game as well as to improve my own skills and move on to stiffer challenges. The rules of the challenge are thus...

1: I am not allowed to level Magic or Life up. I can collect magic and life containers but I can not increase either stat's level. I can however level up attack. Basically this is a 8 ATK/1 MAG/1 Life challenge. My goal will to eventually do a 1/1/1 challenge run if it is possible.
2: I am not allowed to use either the Magic or Life ladies in town. I can collect fairies, magic bottles, and use spells though (as much as possible with low magic).
3: I am not allowed to grind up my attack level. I must only get exp for it that falls in my way or is a one time pickup (such as a point bag)

This is not a speedrun (though I will try to be fast in it) and this is not a no-hit run (though I will try to not be hit, I will fail at it as this video shows). I'm playing with a keyboard which is unusual for me for this challenge run. I'm used to my NES gamepad but for recording purposes I am using a computer instead of my NES.

If you have any suggestions or comments feel free to leave them. Even bad ones. I don't really care. ;)

**Important Note** I do not use savestates in this challenge run (kind of defeats the purpose) except for at the end of a video so I can continue where I left off exactly.
