Obtaining this bottle will give you a much better chance of making it to the Grand Palace. It's a tough trek. You must make your way west through the hot-mud swamps, toward the trails and caves located in the mountains. When you make it through the two caves, you'll find yourself standing in front of the Grand Palace. You'll be on your last legs by the time you get there, but that's okay. Once you make it to the Grand Palace, when you lose your last life, you'll be able to continue from the entrance to the palace.

Unfortunately, you can't save your position at the Grand Palace. If you turn off your machine, you'll have to fight your way through the hot-mud swamps yet again. The Grand Palace is huge, but you don't need to visit all the rooms. There are no keys and no gates. Your only task is to find the most direct route to the Final Guardian. I should also mention that the Grand Palace is almost impossible to map because the rooms don't fit together in a logical way.

You should try to find your own way through the Grand Palace without our help; that's half the fun. But if you give up, here are directions that'll get you to the Final Guardian, and with any luck, you'll get there with almost all your strength:. Take the elevator down one level. You'll find yourself in an elevator shaft with no visible exit except to continue down.

The wall on your left has a secret entrance. Keep moving the elevator down little by little until you find it.

Then walk through the wall to the secret room. The statue in this room may have a Red Magic Bottle. Strike the statue with your sword. You'll need to use your High Jump. You'll be in another elevator shaft with a fake wall. You may find another Red Magic Bottle in the statue in the secret room. Use your Downward Thrust to cut through the eleventh block from the right You'll fall through a secret passage.

You'll end up crossing a dissolving bridge. About halfway across the bridge, there'll be a narrow passage below. You must position yourself so that when the bridge segment you're standing on dissolves, you'll fall down the passage. Go to the left and chop the bottom two blocks out of each of the T s. You may find a Red Magic Bottle.

Or you may find yourself running from a nasty critter. You should now have most of the information you need to defeat Ganon and bring Link to the end of his quest.

Good luck and may Ganon rue the day that you set out to defeat him. Zelda II isn't a game, it's an experience - with enough interesting locales, adventure and action to keep even the most jaded gamer glued to his control pad.

On top of that, Zelda II is one of the most challenging games I've come up against. For most people, it would be difficult - if not impossible -to solve the game without a little guidance and a few clues. How difficult has this project been? Let's put it this way: the photographic maps supplied here, along with the ones you'll be seeing in the next two issues, required so many screen snapshots that I bought stock in Kodak.

I knew that, due to increased sales of their color film, the stock was bound to go through the ceiling. But you're not interested in listening to me whine about how tough this article was to put together. You're here because you want to know how to get the best out of this sensational game.

So let's get to it if you are, for some strange reason, interested in hearing me whine, give me your address, and I'll send you a tape. Nothing will do, of course, but that we should begin one of these in-depth strategy guides with the usual warnings. And so, without further ado Warning: in order to provide a helpful and comprehensive player's guide, this article covers Zelda II: The Adventure of Link in great detail.

Because they are not likely to remember many of the hints presented here, people who are using this article as a review to help them decide whether to buy this game, may look over the information here with little risk. However, if you are currently playing Zelda II, we advise you not to read this entire guide right away. Prematurely reading too much of this article could adversely affect your gaming experience, because you may read secrets that would be more fun to discover for yourself during actual game play.

The first hour or so you play Zelda II should be dedicated to increasing your new character's strength. This is important if you're to have any chance of beating the nasty creatures that'll be found lurking the hallways of Parapa Palace where you must place the first of six crystals in the stone statue. One way to increase your strength is to fight the beasts roaming the forests, plains and deserts of Hyrule. Another way is to discover the hidden treasure bags.

If you're lucky, a defeated monster may drop a treasure bag, but this doesn't happen too often. No matter how you get your experience points and fighting is the only sure way, since there are just a few hidden treasure bags to find , you need to collect the number of experience points shown next to the word NEXT in the upper right of your screen.

Once you reach that number, you'll be able to raise the level of your Attack, Magic or Life. This is absolutely necessary for survival. But before you leap into battle, travel to the town of Rauru don't ask me how to pronounce it; every time I try, I sound like a dog with a toothache and get the magic shield. With it you can cut by half the amount of damage done to you in battle.

Next run up to the southern edge of Tantari Desert, where you'll find a small clump of tress. Hidden there is a treasure bag that'll allow you immediately to raise your Life level by giving you a quick 50 experience points. Now armed with your magic shield, you're ready to explore the countryside and fight the local meanies. As you fight, you'll begin to accumulate more experience points. But keep in mind that some of the creatures are worth more points than others, and if you want to gain experience levels as fast as possible, you should learn to defeat easily the higher value enemies and then search them out.

Don't forget that both towns, Rauru and Ruto, have places where you can be healed. If you keep your battles close to town, you run little risk of losing a life. When your life meter starts getting low, just go into town and get healed. Then it's back to battle. Once you get used to this system, you'll be able to increase your levels without losing a single life.

During your early explorations of northern Hyrule, do not enter any of the caves. Because you don't yet have the candle, the caves will be dark, and you won't be able to see the creatures that will attack. If you should ignore this advice, you will find your game quickly over. Once you've done some exploration, it'll become obvious to you that you're not going to be able to get anywhere without the candle.

All the pathways leading from northern Hyrule pass through dark caves that are loaded with meanies that have no difficulty seeing you, even though you can't see them. The candle can be found in the depths of Parapa Palace, located on the outer fringes of Parapa Desert. Luckily, even though the cave leading to Parapa Desert in the upper-right comer of Hyrule is dark, it contains only one enemy.

It's easy to get through the cave and into Parapa Desert. Here's a hint that'll help you get to the cave without first being attacked in the forest: as you know, monsters won't fight you when you're standing on a pathway. You can take advantage of this cowardice.

Quickly step off the path into the forest and then back onto the path. The monsters will appear as soon as you step off the path. But by the time they get to you if you're quick; you need to practice , you'll be out of harm's way.

When the monsters go away, run through the woods to the cave. You should have plenty of time to get there. This technique will help you get to Parapa Palace with as few hits as possible, and it will also be handy in later parts of the game, where it's critical that Link stay in good shape. Once you're in Parapa Desert, don't head directly for the palace. Instead, take the path you'll find in the southeast corner of the desert. At the end of that path you'll have to cross a nasty bridge first , you'll find a hidden grove wherein is hidden a heart container that'll lengthen your life line by one square.

Obtaining this before entering Parapa Palace, will increase your chances of success in the palace. Now you're ready to test your new skills against the mysteries of Parapa Palace. In that gloomy and dangerous place you must accomplish two tasks: find the candle and place the first crystal in the stone statue. Of course, for the beginning player, that's much easier said than done.

You're first going to have to learn how to fight the various monsters you'll run into there. But don't despair. If you have trouble with a particular creature, consult the creature list accompanying this article to get hints on the most effective way to combat your opponent.

And don't forget that you've got a magic shield. Learn to use it effectively, and your three lives will last a long time. Also remember to save your game each time you run out of lives. That way if someone happens to accidentally pull the plug on you, you won't lose everything you've worked so hard for. And make sure to hold in the Reset key, as described in the manual, when turning off the game.

Failure to do so could cause your saved game data to become corrupted. To the beginning Link, Parapa Palace may seem large, but it is quite small when compared with the other palaces in Zelda II.
