=====================================

Part fourteen of my Zelda playthru. Off I go to take on labyrinth, Turtle Rock. It's a bit more straight forward compared to some of the earlier dungeons, but it's long and only has a few hearts to pick up on the way. It does not help that some of the monsters inside hit for four hearts of health either. This is definitely an endurance run!

Inspirations
Firechan - http://www.youtube.com/user/firechan
My Roommate, and getting the game on the Wii VC, making me want to play it again.

Gamefaqs - http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/588436-the-legend-of-zelda-a-link-to-the-past/faqs Looking up some info for Firechan, I saw a few guides, including one for a Swordless by LinkTheValiant and Minimalist by Javeman. These two guides inspired me to try to take up the challenge of completing A Link to the Past with those limitations.

@Poodleinacan

xD Yep, I don't think there's a way to beat this stage without it.

@SuzakuBlitz Happy Holidays!

@gleepdiddly

Hehe, go go go! Good luck with your run!

And I plan to keep up with my videos, just at this time I have no controller, so I can't really do my videos without messing up incredibly badly ; ; Hopefully get something done in the near future though!

Oh, and happy holidays! ^_^

[gleepdiddly]

@SuzakuBlitz It seems you're right. On a test file, I managed to win the game by an exploration glitch. Arrghus II beaten, Mothula II almost beaten, Blind II is killing me, and I can't figure out how to hit Helmasaur II without the sword. I can't quite win against Ganon on my minimalist lv2 sword file.

Thanks for the playthrough idea, I really enjoyed doing it. Definitely keep up your videos, I liked this series. ^_^

Wow, Ganon is beastly in the GBA version xD He only hits for four in the SNES version, so it's simpler there. Though I think the difficulty is more streamlined for the GBA version, it seems.

@SuzakuBlitz I copied my file, so I now have one file beating him minimalist and Lv2 sword (still hard as hell), and one file glitching to the ending room so I can do the 4 sword palace. Ganon hits for 8 hearts!!! Also, the Arrghus and Mothula rematchs I tried are going to take some doing. >.<

@gleepdiddly

Unfortunately, Ganon, from what I understand, is the one instance where you will need the sword, sadly. Oh well. Still an achievement to get through the rest of the game without it ^_^
