Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'A Link to the Past' centers around a holy relic that grants the powers of those who touch it. What is this relic called?

Answer: Triforce

The Triforce is a holy relic created by three goddesses -- Din, Nayru, and Farore. The story of how they form the Earth is expanded in the Nintendo 64 game "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time".

The Triforce is comprised of three triangular pieces, each having its own name. The Triforce of Power is said to be with Ganon, the Triforce of Wisdom with Princess Zelda, and the Triforce of Courage with the story's hero, Link.
2. The enemy that Link must defeat in order to first rescue Princess Zelda uses what weapon?

Answer: ball and chain

The enemy in question is a knight who swings the ball and chain in a circular formation before swinging it towards Link. He is generally regarded as a standard (and easily disposable) enemy, although some consider him the game's first "boss".
3. When you acquire the Pegasus Boots, you are able to chase down the speedy boy in Kakariko Village. What does he give you for catching up to him?

Answer: Nothing

The boy does not give you any kind of keepsake, but he does give a hint that ramming trees can yield great rewards. Doing so can be beneficial for items like rupees, hearts, and apples, but also detrimental in that bees could come out, or a nearby guard could come running from the sound.
4. The third pendant in the Light World can be obtained by defeating Moldorm, a squirmy worm that just won't stay put. If you are not careful, Moldorm can push you off the side of his platform, or through the hole on it. What happens in this instance?

Answer: You fall to the floor(s) below

Falling off the sides only means you must climb back to his floor and try, try again. Moldorm gets progressively faster as Link deals more damage to him. He is basically an enlarged version of the worm enemies found throughout the dungeon.
5. If Link does not have the _______________, then he will transform into a _________ when in the Dark World. What goes into the blanks?

Answer: Moon Pearl; Bunny

The Moon Pearl is the dungeon item found in the third level, The Tower of Hera. There are also yellow spiral cursors that Link encounters in several later dungeons that will temporarily turn him into a bunny, but only for a few seconds. When Link is a bunny, he cannot use his sword or shield, leaving him vulnerable to attack.
6. To enter the Palace of Darkness, Link must rely on the help of a monkey friend named Kiki. How many total rupees does Kiki ask for?

Answer: 110

Kiki initially asks for ten rupees. When you give them to him, he will follow you. He then asks for 100 to hit the switch and allow entrance to the dungeon.
7. How many maidens are there that Link must save in order to gain access to Ganon's Tower?

Answer: 7

The seven maidens are shown through crystals acquired after beating the seven dungeon bosses of the Dark World. Each maiden ends her speech with the classic line "May the way of the Hero lead to the Triforce."
8. What is special about the Magical Boomerang?

Answer: It can be thrown much farther

The benefit of the Magical Boomerang is its throwing distance. Whereas the regular boomerang could go about one-third way across the screen, the Magical Boomerang makes its way across the entire length, provided it has a clear path. Both the standard and upgraded boomerangs can stun enemies, both travel in a straight line unless Link is moving, and the Magical Boomerang is red, as opposed to the original boomerang's blue colour.
9. The very useful and very versatile Hookshot item made its debut in "A Link to the Past".

Answer: True

The Hookshot was also featured in many later "Legend of Zelda" titles. In the N64 title "Ocarina of Time", it can later be upgraded to the Longshot, which extends to far greater length than the original.
10. You will simply never make it through the Swamp Palace without this item. To what item am I referring?

Answer: Zora's Flippers

Zora's Flippers allow Link to swim in deep water, which this dungeon has plenty of. The flippers are acquired through Zora by paying a whopping 500 rupees.
11. Throughout the course of the game, Link can acquire three medallions, two by using the Book of Mudora and the Master Sword. Two of the medallions are required to open the pathways to dungeons. Which medallion is NOT required to beat the game?

Answer: Bombos

Ether is required to gain access to the sixth dungeon, Misery Mire. Quake is required to gain access to the seventh dungeon, Turtle Rock. Bombos is just very cool, but taxing on your magic meter. There is no "Magick" Medallion.
12. To run with the Pegasus Boots, the player must hold down either the L or the R shoulder buttons on their Super Nintendo controller.

Answer: False

All "action" commands are performed through the A button. Running, lifting, and swimming are done with the A button. The B button swings the sword, the Y button uses the selected item, and the X button shows the world or dungeon map.
13. Which of these is NOT an item you can upgrade at some point in the game through a Waterfall of Wishing?

Answer: Mail

The boomerang, arrows, and shield can all be enhanced via a Waterfall of Wishing. The first upgrade to Link's mail (clothing) is the Blue Mail, which is the dungeon item for the Ice Palace. The second upgrade is the Red Mail, which is the dungeon item for Ganon's Tower.

The boomerang can be upgraded to the Magical Boomerang.

The shield can be upgraded through the waterfall to the Red Shield, which can deflect fireballs. It can later be upgraded to the Mirror Shield through a dungeon item.

The arrows are upgraded at the end of the game, where an overweight fairy will give you the Silver Arrows needed to defeat Ganon.
14. Which of these items, not found in a formal dungeon, is required to beat the game?

Answer: Ice Rod

All four items mentioned in this question are found outside of formal dungeons (Ice Rod, Bug Catching Net, Magic Cape, and Cane of Byrna). The Ice Rod is required to defeat Trinexx, the boss of Turtle Rock.
15. Which of these rupee values is incorrect in "A Link to the Past"?

Answer: Yellow Rupee - 10

Green, blue, and red were the only rupee types found in "A Link to the Past". Other colours like yellow (10) and purple (50) are found in "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker" for the Nintendo Gamecube. Well, that's it! Thanks for playing! Hope you enjoyed it!
