If you are a webmaster and wish to post this on your web page, please email
me first.  And if you do post this FAQ on your site, please make an attempt
to keep it up to date.  There is nothing worse than getting emails from
people who saw an old version asking about things that are already in the
newer versions.  Well, maybe there are worse things, but it IS annoying!
The maps were made by me and as such, they don't look all that great.  It
certainly doesn't help that they are nothing more than ASCII text!
Hopefully, you will be able to see the meaning there.  If the maps and the
ASCII text look like gibberish, set your FONT to Courier New, or any other
Fixed Width font.

| i. Introduction                                                             |
+=============================================================================+
A long, long time ago the World was in an age of Chaos. In the middle
of this chaos, in a little kingdom in the land of Hyrule, a legend was
being handed down from generation to generation, the legend of the
"Triforce"; golden triangles possessing mystical powers.
One day, an evil army attacked this peaceful little kingdom and stole
the Triforce of Power. This army was led by Gannon, the powerful
Prince of Darkness who sought to plunge the World into fear and
darkness under his rule. Fearing his wicked rule, Zelda, the princess
of this kingdom, split up the Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments
and hid them throughout the realm to save the last remaining Triforce
from the clutches of the evil Gannon. At the same time, she commanded
her most trustworthy nursemaid, Impa, to secretly escape into the land
and go find a man with enough courage to destroy the evil Gannon.
Upon hearing this, Gannon grew angry, imprisoned the princess, and sent
out a party in search of Impa.
Braving forests and mountains, Impa fled for her life from her
pursuers. As she reached the very limit of her energy she found
herself surrounded by Gannon's evil henchmen. Cornered! What could
she do? ... But wait!
All was not lost. A young lad appeared. He skillfully drove off
Gannon's henchmen, and saved Impa from a fate worse than death.
His name was Link. During his travels he had come across Impa and
Gannon's henchmen. Impa told Link the whole story of the princess Zelda
and the evil Gannon. Burning with a sense of justice, Link resolved to
save Zelda, but Gannon was a powerful opponent. He held the Triforce of
Power. And so, in order to fight off Gannon, Link had to bring the
scattered eight fragments of the Triforce of Wisdom together to
rebuild the mystical Triangle.
If he couldn't do this, there would be no chance Link could fight his
way into Death Mountain where Gannon lived. Can Link really destroy
Gannon and save the Princess Zelda? Only your skill can answer that
question. Good luck. Use the Triforce wisely.
-- from the LEGEND OF ZELDA Manual --
Zelda is really two games for the price of one, there is the first Quest, and
a second Quest--which is accessed by winning the first quest.  An alternate
way to play the second question is to name your character 'zelda', or
anything that starts with 'zelda'--i.e. 'zelda 9'. (there does not need to be
a space)  You'll know if you are in the second quest because Link will hold
up a sword.  The only other thing happening on this screen is when you get a
Blue or Red ring your Link will change colors.
The number on the character screen is the total of times you have died.

Want to play Zelda for free on your home PC?  Then wander over to this link,
download the program, and away you go:
http://www.zeldaclassic.com/
This is not a NES emulator, or any such program.  It is a PC remake.
(I would guess that he started with the Zelda ROM and went from there)
Zelda Classic has a number of interesting features that makes it in many
ways superior to the original:
Has more quests, not only right now, but since ZC is expandable, there will
always be more coming.
Can use enhanced graphics (if you ever saw the BS Zelda, you have some idea
of what this is)
FAQ:  How do I cheat in Zelda Classic (PC)?
A:  Cheats are only enabled in certain quests.  For example, the default
first quest does not allow for cheating.  If you want to cheat in the
first quest, you'll need to load the Example_1st.qst instead.
FAQ:  How do I get to these custom quests, anyway?
A:  From the character selection screen, go to your character and press A
(however you have your keyboard options set up... my 'A' is actually
Z).  This will take you to the quest options menu.
I found the bs1st.qst to be the most entertaining quest, since it is
the 1st Quest, but with much improved graphics (the BS Zelda graphics,
which are somewhere just below the SNES Zelda level).
FAQ:  How do I make my own quests?
A:  Using the zquest.exe program in the C:\Zelda Classic\ directory.
This program is very difficult to use and includes very little in the
way of documentation.
There is a pretty good tutorial out there that can help you out:
http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/r/m/rmg157/zquesttutorial/index.html
FAQ:  I checked, and I don't have the ZQUEST.EXE file, where is it?
A:  Chances are that you either missed seeing it, or downloaded an earlier
version that didn't carry it.  Go to http://www.zeldaclassic.com to
get the updated version.  Install that and you should find it.

| 1. Before you Hit Level One...                                              |
+=============================================================================+
Itinerary:  Pick up 3 hearts, the White Sword, the Letter, the Blue Candle, the
Magic Shield and the Blue Ring
HEART 1:
* Get the wooden sword in the cave.
* Head right 8 screens (half the length of Hyrule) until you reach the sea,
killing everything and getting money.  If you also get bombs from the
enemies then you can skip the next step.
* Go up one screen, into the cave, and buy -=BOMBS=- (20 rupees)
* Go down and then left 4 screens.  There is a path to the north here, place
your bomb on the wall to the left of the path, the 2nd tile from the right.

|BBBBB  ~~~~~~~~~|
|BBBBBB ~~~~~~~~~|     * Go in the cave and get your -=HEART=-!
|BBBBBBB~~~~~~~~~|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
HEART 2:
* Head north 5 screens (or until you can't go north anymore)
* Go right 1 screen.  There is a big rock in the center of the screen.  Bomb
the rock again 2nd from the right side.  (note: notice the diagonal rocks
by on the edge of the big rock, those can't ever be bombed, but they still
count when I say "2nd from right")

|BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
LETTER:
* Go right 1, bomb by the north path 2nd from right, go in the cave for 30
rupees.
* Go up, then right, then up the ladder and into the cave to get the
-=LETTER=-!  Now you can buy potions from the Old Woman!
100 RUPEES, WOW!:
* Go back down the ladder and head right again.
* You should be at a place with an opening in a tree surrounded by other
trees (that is one of the gambling places in Hyrule).
* Walk to the right side of the large tree and walk straight up, and
hopefully, through the illusionary wall to the North.
* Go in and grab your 100 rupees.
BLUE CANDLE:
* Go back down the ladder and back through the illusion, from there go left
twice, and down twice.  Touch the statue on the right, he'll run off
revealing a staircase!  Inside is 30 rupees!
* Go back up, then left twice, then down 5 times, then left 4 times and
you're back where you started!  If you're not there, then find you're way
there.
* Head north, and place a bomb on the north wall 2 tiles to the left of the
protrusion on the wall, go in and get 30 rupees!  You should be rolling in
dough now!
* Go to the left and into the cave, and buy the -=BLUE CANDLE=- (60)
There is a Magic Shield there, but don't buy it, we can get it for cheaper
elsewhere!
MAGIC SHIELD:
* Now go left, then up, then to the right.  In the center are 6 bushes, burn
the lower left bush and go in to get 10 rupees!
* Go up.  Burn the bush on the corner of all the bushes, go in the shop and
buy the -=MAGIC SHIELD=- (90).  Told you we'd find a cheaper one!
HEART 3:
* Go right 1 screen.  Burn the 5th bush from the right side and go in and
grab your -=HEART=-!
WHITE SWORD:
* Now is the time to trade in your beat up old Wooden Sword for the
White Sword.
* Go right 1 screen, and burn the top bush on the right side, go in and get
30 rupees!
* Go up 2 screens, then burn the lower right of the green bushes, for another
30 rupees note:  if you are at 150 rupees or higher, you don't need anymore
until the next 100 a little later, and if you're not, then kill enemies!
* Now go left, up, and then right 3 times.  Don't get hit by those falling
rocks now!
* Head up the ladder, avoid that blue guy, and go into the cave to get your
-=WHITE SWORD=-
BLUE RING:
* Return to the where you started the game (that would be: DOWN, LEFT 3,
DOWN, RIGHT, DOWN 5, and LEFT)
* Go up, and then to the left 3 and go into the cave.  Show the old woman the
LETTER and she will (as will every old woman in the game) sell potions.
Only buy the Red kind, since you can use it twice, but don't buy any now
unless you have more than 210 rupees.
* Left twice more.  There will be a thin layer of bushes in the middle, burn
the top bush, go in and get 100 more rupees!

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
* Go up.  If you're still short of 250 rupees, go left and burn the lower
right bush to get 10 more, otherwise head right twice, and then up twice.
(if you're STILL short, then check the SECRETS section to find more
rupees)
* Touch the top middle statue to reveal stairs, go in and buy the
-=BLUE RING=-, note:  this is also one of the best places to buy the
-=BAIT=-, but you don't need to do that until before Level Seven.
OTHER THINGS TO DO:
* Get 80 rupees and buy the Arrow.  This isn't necessary right now, but will
be by Level Six.  I'd do it later, but if you want, it's for sale all
sorts of places.

Walkthrough:
* Go right kill all the Stalfos (skeletons) one of them will drop a key.
Then go left twice, kill all the keeses (bats), and another key will
appear.
* Go back to the right.  Open the locked door to the north and go up 2
screens, kill all the enemies to get the third key.
* Go to the right and pick up the compass.
* Go left, here you can either bomb up, or head left again.  Assuming you
head left, unlock the door then head north.
* Push the block to open the sealed door to the left, inside is a Wise Man,
who says: "Eastmost Peninsula is the Secret"
* Go right, you'll be in the room north of where you could have bombed.  The
Map is here.
* Now go north, kill all the Stalfos and get their key and open the door to
the north.
* Go north again, kill the Goriya's (boomerang goons) and get yet another
key, open the door to the left.
* Go left and run in quickly to avoid the trap, then go to near the bottom of
the screen so that you can fake the trap out and get by.  Then on the left
side push the far left block up (or down) to get to the stairs, and the
-=BOW=-!
* Return to where the map was, open the locked door to the right, go right,
kill the Goriyas and get their -=BOOMERANG=-!
* Go to the right, and stay near the door, wait for the hands to come out of
the wall, and kill them.  They're a good source of money.  But don't let
them touch you, or you have to start the level over.  Then go pick up the
key and open the northern door.
* Go north, and you will be at the BOSS.
BOSS:  Aquamentus (Dragon) - 3 hits with the White Sword
Stand across the room and throw your sword at the dragon's head,
letting your shield stop the fireballs.  Or alternately, just
bomb him.  Just three short hits with your sword, and you have
beat your first boss!

BOSS: Dodongo (rhinosaurus looking thing) - 2 bombs in its mouth
Dodongo is the easiest boss of all, just walk in front of him, and
put a bomb in his mouth, wait for a second then put down another
bomb he'll eat that one and die.  Or if you want a challenge, place
a bomb so that when it explodes it is directly on his back (not as
easy as it sounds), which will stun him; and you can then finish
him off with your trusty sword.

take the key.
* Go north take out those Zol and take their key too.

in their back or in their side, when they die they leave bombs.  You can
bomb to the right, but head to the left instead.
* Kill the Keeses (the bats) and get the compass.  Open the locked door,
and continue left.
* The room will be stuffed full of knights, kill them and the south door will
open.
* Go south, avoid all those knights and go down the staircase to get your

they steal your sword... temporarily.

through the locked door.
* Then go through the locked door to the north.
* Kill the Zol, and push the left stone to open the door, and continue
north where you will find a Wise Man who reminds us to get the White Sword.
* Head left and get the key, kill the Keeses to reopen the door.
* Then go south twice and then through the locked door to the right.
* Get the map.  There's an easy way, and a harder way, to reach the BOSS.
The easy way is to bomb to the right, the hard is to go down, right, up.
BOSS: Manhandla - 2 sword strikes on each "claw", or 1 well placed bomb
There are 2 ways to beat Manhandla, an easy way and a hard way.
The easy way is to drop a bomb and blow him up, the hard way is to
attack him with your sword.  As you take off each claw, he will
move faster and faster.

Walkthrough:
* Enter the level, go immediately to the left, kill all the Keeses and
they'll leave a key, go back to the right and then up.
* You'll find yourself in a room with 3 odd monsters called Vire, stab them
and they become 2 red bats.
* Open the locked door to the right, go into the dark room and light a candle
get the compass, then come back out.
* Go north, kill all the Keeses and grab another key.
* Continue to the left into another darkened room.  Again use the candle to
see, and then go north.
* You'll be in yet another dark room, this time there are Zol (blobs) and a
key here.  Get the key and continue north.
* Yes another dark room, but this time don't light a candle or kill the
enemies, go straight through the locked door to the right.
* Kill all the baddies to open the door to the right, and go that way.  Don't
bother with the door to the north, it doesn't lead anywhere.
* Kill all the monsters here, and push the left stone to open up a stairway.
Do not let those orange monsters (they're called Like Likes) hit you!!
They'll steal your Magic Shield permanently!  Go down the stairs to get
the -=STEPLADDER=-!  You can now step across small bodies of water!
* Go back to the left twice to the darkened room.  Light it up and you'll see
that there is a little moat blocking you from the locked door to the north.
Well walk right over it!  Your stepladder will do the rest. Then go through
the door to the north.
* Head right to pick up the map.  You should then bomb the north wall and
go through it.  You will be in a blackened area on the map, and its full
of money!  Get the money.  You can bomb in all directions here.  There's a
Manhandla (Level 3's boss) to the left, so instead, go north.
* Pick up the key, and kill the Keeses.  Don't bother opening the door to the
left, since its just a wise man who says "Walk into the waterfall", so
instead, go back down the bomb hole, and from there go right through
another bomb hole.
* Kill the monsters and push the left stone to get to the BOSS!
BOSS: Gleeok (Multi Headed Dragon) - 8 hits with the White Sword, give or take
He cannot be hurt by bombs, so you have to walk up to his heads,
and stab them.  After several hits, the head will fly off and shoot
fireballs at you (which your Magic Shield for some reason won't
block).  Cut both of his heads off to beat him.

kill the mummies with your sword, the bunnies with your bow, and the bats
with either the boomerang or the sword.  Open the door and go left.
* Kill the mummies to get another key, continue left.
* Ignore the bunnies for now, and bomb up to talk to the Wise Man "Secret
Power is said to be in the Arrow", go back down and shoot the bunnies with
your bow.  Go left.
* You may notice that door to the south, but there's nothing but mummies down
there so don't be fooled, and take that BOSS down!

Walkthrough:
* Go to the right.  Light up the room, and kill the Wizzrobes.  You can block
their magic with your Magic Shield, and kill them with your Magic Sword.
Get the Key.  Go up.  (if you only have one key DO NOT GO UP!)
* The wise man will say "Aim at the eyes of Gohma" An odd thing to say since
Gohma only has one eye.  Return to the entrance.
* Now go through the locked door to the left, kill the Wizzrobes there and
they'll leave you some bombs, how nice.  Go up.
* Kill all the blobs, and they'll leave the compass.  Continue up.
* You'll be in a room with a sealed door to the north, and full of bats.
Kill all the bats and they'll leave a key, and open the door.  Again go up.
* Dash past the 3 traps in the room and go up yet again.
* You'll find yourself in the hardest room of the game (so far).  It has 2
Wizzrobes (not hard), 2 Blue Wizzrobes (harder), 2 Sword Stealers (hard),
and 2 Shield Eaters (very hard).  So avoid touching the sword stealers, and
the shield stealers, while killing all the enemies.  Oh and did I mention
that the door closes behind you?  Once they're dead push the left stone to
open the doors.  Go up.
* Don't bother trying to kill the enemies, and don't go up either, bomb the
right wall and go that way.
* Ignore these Wizzrobes as well, grab the key in the center of the room and
go up.
* Kill the monsters, and get the map.  Go up through the locked door.
* Kill the Wizzrobes, and push the left stone and go down the stairs to get
the -=MAGIC WAND=-.  Go back down, and then to the right.
* Grab the key in the center of the room, and go back to the left, then down,
and then down again.
* Kill all the bouncing guys (1 hit with the Magic Sword!) and the doors will
open.  Go right.
* Kill all these enemies, push the stone, and a staircase will open.  Go down
the stairs.
* You'll arrive in the top corner of the map, now go down.
* Kill the 3 hoppers and get another key.  Go left.
* Don't bother going down, it's only bombs down there, and don't bother
killing the enemies here, so unlock that door to the north and fight the
BOSS!
