I AM PLAYING ADVENTURES OF ZELDA ll and i am in the 6th castle and can't figure out how to get to the boss

In a Link to the Past on GBA, is there any point to the Four Sword dungeon in the Dark World? What items do you get there, if any?

^ ^ You mean Adventure of Link? Or Zelda's Adventure?

Well, I've not played Zelda's Adventure, and I'm not that far in AoL, so I can't help you...



^ The Four Sword dungeon is only accessable through a door on the pyramid of power in the dark world. You have to have done some stuff in Four Swords, I'm not really sure what, though. I've never been in there, but I believe someone said you fight different versions of the bosses.



Why does it say I double posted up there?? Somebody deleted a post...

I'm sure you meant Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. You are in the Three-Eyed Rock Palace. I'm sorry to say however, that AoL is extremely difficult and confusing. You'd have a better chance of finding your way through the dungeon by consulting a walkthrough from GameFAQs.

In Link's Awakening DX, I just beat the 4th level, and now a Ghost is following me around. What do I do to get him off my ass because he is pissing me off!

It’ll tell you to take it to the House by the Bay.* Swim to the left and get on the shore.* Walk down as far as you can.* You’ll see a bush on a small island.* Go left and jump across the pit by equipping the Pegasus Boots and Roc’s Feather.* Run with the boots and jump with the feather to jump an extra 2 pit spaces.* Go left and enter the house.* The ghost will look around and tell you to take it to its grave.* Exit the house and go back to the screen with the bush on a small island.
*** Go up a bunch of screens until you’re at a cave.* Enter and go through it.* Go right a screen and up until you get to Kanalet Castle’s entrance.* Go down a screen, left a screen, down a screen, and left a screen.* This is the screen where the giant rock was (or is, blow it up with a bomb if it’s still there).* Go up and to the left.* The cave on this screen has some rupees in it and also secretes a Heart Piece.* You can explore if you want, but to get the ghost to its grave, go down and left a screen.* Go up and lift the rock.* Follow the path up 2 screens.* Jump across the pit and go left.* Pick up the stone and go down.* Cut the bush and dig where it was to get an easy Secret Seashell.* After acquiring it, go up on the left side of the screen.* Approach the grave and the ghost will leave you.

That's pretty simple, ok. There are two things you have to do for this wandering spirit before he's off your back (don't worry, there's a small reward for doing a good deed). First you must bring it to it's home (on the map it will say "House by the Bay").

"Go south to the Toronbo Shores.

When you reach Toronbo Shores, go right until you reach some rocks
blocking the path. Throw away the rocks and continue on the path right.
When you reach a house, enter it. The ghost says "Here... Enter... my
house...". After inspecting his house, he sees that nothing is left. Now
he wants you to bring him to his grave.

Here's how to get to the ghosts grave: Go to the Witch's Hut in the
Mysterious Forest and go one screen left. Pick up the stone here and go
down. Go up the stairs at the left and you've arrived at the grave! Go
close to it and the ghost will thank you. He also says something about a
jar in his house."

All of ^that was quoted from ZU's Walkthrough.

1) Next time, post in the darn help thread!

2) Have you even tried actually going to the beach yet?

Maybe you aren't far enough in the game, so she is still near the rooster.
Or you didn't try like sage of lightnig said!

Go right one screen and the owl will come to give you his words of
wisdom. He tells you to go to the Yarna Desert. Okay, here's how to get
there: Jump right across those little islands, then go up and follow the
path north east. When you reach the screen with the sign that reads
"Kanalet Castle 50 paces up", go two screens down and one screen right.
Cut down the bush here to reveal a secret stairway. Get down there!

Go one screen right and use your new Pegasus Boots to dash through the
crystals. Then take the stairs back up to the surface. Go down two more
screens and head east at the sign to reach the Animal Village. What a
cute name :)


                       = = = ANIMAL VILLAGE = = =


Welcome to the Animal Village! This village is inhabited only by
animals, mostly cute little bunnies, and it's much smaller than Mabe
Village (by the way, Mabe Village is Animal Village's sister city). If
you already got the stick from the trading sequence, you can trade it
with the bear here for the pineapple.

There's a way to get to the Yarna Desert by taking the path at the
south, but there's a huge walrus blocking the way (very similar to a
Snorelax). If you try taking to him, you'll see that he's dreaming about
Marin. The only way to wake up this walrus is with a song from Marin
(much like a song from the Pokéflute...if you played Pokémon you'll know
what I'm talking about).

The bunnies in the village also want Marin to come to the village. So go
to Mabe Village and get her! You know the way...


                        = = = MABE VILLAGE = = =


Wait-- before you get Marin, go to the little house in the northern part
of the village (the little hut with the entrance blocked by stones). Go
into the bed and you'll be transported to a weird dream world. There's
a bunch of enemies here that can't be beaten by the sword alone. You
must use the Pegasus Boots to dash through them all. When you reach the
crystal, go up the stairs and open the chest for 100 rupees. Then go
down, charge through the crystal, and climb up more stairs. Open the
chest at the top to get the ocarina! Now get down and go out of the
dream shrine. Now let's go get Marin!

Marin is usually around the rooster statue...but now she's strangely
absent. The kid standing there says that Marin "likes to stare at the
ocean all by herself". She's obviously at the beach. Go south to the
Toronbo Shores. She's at the south eastern screen (check your map with
the select button, she's at gridpoint F16). There's Marin, staring at
the ocean by herself.

Talk to her. This is the most emotional moment I've ever found in a
Nintendo-made game. The mood is set perfectly, you're both staring at
the sunset and talking with each other. The music is nice too. Excuse
me...<wipes away a tear>. After you're done listening to her little
speech, you'll 'get' Marin! She will follow you to the Walrus.

While she's with you, there's a lot of cool stuff you can do. Try
falling down the well, breaking some pots, digging with the shovel,
playing the trendy game, hurting the chickens, or playing the ocarina.
It's especially funny if you try playing the trendy game :)

Go back to the Animal Village. You can use that warp in the Ukuku
Prairie just right of the Village.


                        = = = YARNA DESERT = = =


From the Animal Village, take the path at the bottom left of the
village. Continue until you reach the walrus. "Shall we give him a
little surprise?". Answer yes and Marin will start singing. The walrus
wakes up, jumps up and down for a while, then falls into the water. Ha!
A bunny comes to take Marin to the Animal Village. Go right into the
Yarna Desert.

I hope this will help you...and next time Viscen, if you need help in any game, look for the Game Help thread. There's one in every Zelda forum here in ZU (they are all stickied), so please don't make your own thread.

Umm is it possible that you could explain that a little bit better please? If you've beaten the game already, you can swim anywhere with your Mermaid Suit.

-BGS

I'm guessing you're referring to the Island in the middle of the Sea of Storms. If you're playing Oracle of Ages regular game, it is completely impossible to get inside there in the past. I've tried many times, and even some guides I've used for finding the rings tell me it's impossible.

However, if you were to play Oracle of Seasons first, and then play OoA through a linked game, you can then get inside that island in the Sea of Storms in the present.

Hope that helped.

it is aroute i cant come into, beacuse some stupid whirlpools is in the way! i know how to come in there in the past, but not in the present! It lies in the sea of storms, west of crescet island. and i cant some in there with the mermaids suit! it doesnt exicts any opening!

Read that... the parts the bold.

I remember someone telling me that in OoS they mention the Dark realm which is the sacred realm that is all messed up. Is this true if so do you get to visit it?

Umm there wasn't a thing mentioned about the Dark Realm in OoS. They did talk about the Temple of Seasons (which I guess could be seen as a sacred place, but it isn't a realm) is all messed up because it went to Subrosia, Din is missing, as awell as the Rod of Seasons.

Someone please help me. Recently i just bought OoS and it didn't work. So i took it all the way back and ask the guy for a new one. After about checking 3 of them i found one that worked and i took it home. I got all the way to level 2. I notice the game freezes up on me sometimes. Then when i turned it back on after taking a break my file was erased. The game is so messed up. I'm so PISSED OFF. Someone please help me. Is there a way i can fix it? should i get my money back or get a new one? help me. Where can i get a OoS that doesn't mess up? Please help me. Thank you.
