  As a kid I thought I beat the game when you 1st beat Agahnim. My mind was absolutely BLOWN when I arrived in the Dark World.

  So, my mom and I played this game everyday till we beat it(I played while she watched and helped figure out puzzles with me. I was like 8 or 9 at the time, and she was no gamer, but she really enjoyed this game).<br><br>First: we had no idea you could use your sword on Wizard in the light world. The first few times I beat him and was sent to the dark world, we used the Bug Net to knock the projectiles back. 😂<br><br>Your battle with the dw 4th palaces&apos; boss was just to easy. That fire butterfly was probably the hardest boss in the game for me. Though, I&apos;ve heard you weren&apos;t supposed to swing your sword, you were suppose to poke him with your sword extended. Idk if that&apos;s true, I&apos;ve never setup my SNES find out.<br><br> The bombo&apos;s medallion is very useful in dungeon 5: the ice palace or any ice rooms for that matter.<br><br>My mom passes in 2018, so I will always hold this game close to my heart and for that reason alone, this will always be not only my favorite Zelda game but my favorite game I&apos;ve ever played.

  This game was such a leap forward from the first 2 on NES.

  This is my #1 favourite Zelda title, and my absolute favourite videogame of all time. My first videogame at the age of 6 (the GBA port, which I got for my 6th birthday along with my GBA), and I fell in love with it instantly. <br><br>21 years later, and I still love it just as much as my 6 year old self did. Absolute masterpiece of a game in my opinion.

  It seems you missed a few things in the game: <br>- after getting the hammer, you can fall down the well next to the backsmith house. You&apos;ll find a weird statue in there. Use your magic powder on it, and a small bat-kind of thing will grant you a nice power: every magic-using item will only cost half what it was costing before :)<br>Makes using the cape way more convenient, which helps in return going through the long spiked room to get the Cane of Byrna, in the Death Mountain.<br>- I think you probably missed the Cane of Byrna<br>- You can upgrade your boomerang to get the Magic boomerang by throwing it into the fairy pond that is hidden behind a waterfall, in the river next to the Witch house.<br><br>Lot of optional things to do in that game :D

  maybe the thief in the secret area that gives you the rupees is doing so in order to keep you from discovering his real stash which is a lot bigger than that. Kind of a bribe

  The Japanese name of this game is called The Triforce of the Gods.

  I remember playing this in the 90s and my friends and I mispronouncing Sasparilla&apos;s, I mean, Sasharalla... &lt;&lt;mumble&gt;&gt; &nbsp;Shisharishirish&apos;s name differently every time it came up.

  Glad you read the manual and resolved not to use save states or look things up. You really are doing your best to have the authentic experience. Much respect!
