"The Adventure Of Link" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Nabooru

You must cross a river and make your way through a grassy plain rive with one of the staple enemies of 'The Legend of Zelda" games, Tektites. Once you've made it to the town of Nabooru located between the sea and the grassy plain, you'll meet a few chatter boxes. One is a little boy who tells you, "Jump in a hole in the Palace if you go." The helpful hint is about the Great Palace.

Answer: None

The bridge has five flying ghost fish called Bago-Bago as enemies to prevent you from crossing into the town. The good thing about the Bago-Bago is that once you give them five hits, the sixth one hit will always turn into either a small Magic vial or a P-Bag.

When you collect a dropped object a Bago-Bago will immediately attack you again. If you collect two items two Bago-Bago will attack...if you collect them all, you'll once again be faced with all five of the enemies. It's risky, but it's also a decent way to collect points and magic for life recovery. Of course you cannot recover your "Life" until you get the Life Spell. You might consider employing this tactic when you enter the caves of Death Mountain.

Answer: Use Fire

This must be a reference to the Tektites. Nothing else works on them before the point when you get the Fire Spell. However, it might also apply to the Basilisk. While you can avoid both of these enemies, if you want the points they carry, fire is the weapon of choice.

Answer: A Lowder

The Lowder is that greenish enemy that you'll meet when you go after the Magic Jar in the cave, south of the start point. It is described as a slug, though when it detects a threat, the Lowders moves rather fast. The Giant Skull, Mini-boss Bot, and Tinsuits (the first enemy you encounter in the Parapa Palace) provide you no experience points at all.

Answer: Fat Woman in Red

The woman tells you, "The River Devil eats those who are weak." As in "The Legend of Zelda" where Link is told that he cannot get the White Sword unless he has mastered using the Wooden Sword; this is a hint that you'll need to have a certain item when you encounter the River Devil. Pull up your boots when you meet this enemy, or not.

Answer: Town Ache

This Ganon henchman is a pain in any game I've played that included it. In a couple of towns, some people will turn into Ache when you speak with them. Not a bad concept, and some of them can be killed with ease. However, some will become super Ache and require as many as twenty-eight hits.

This is based on your having at least one thousand Attack Experience points. As your Experience increases, you'll need less hits to dispatch the Ache. It actually takes hits pretty much equal to the Skulls flying around in palaces.

Answer: No Pets Allowed

Unlike some of Nintendo's later games where they have yipping dogs or free range cuccos, this game has no such animals. About the closest you will come to a pet is Bagu's big blue blob. While I know that looks can be deceiving, is that thing a Bot?

Answer: Call For Help at the Three Eye Rocks

When you first encounter this rushing man, he tells you, "I'm much too busy to talk to strangers". Later he says, "I know nothing". When you talk with him in the center section of the Hidden Town of Kasuto, he will give you helpful advice about how to enter the sixth palace.

Answer: A Trophy

Tantari is the plain area north of the starting point. When you go to the town of Ruto, a woman there will tell you that Goriya stole their trophy. So what! So, unless you recover the Ruto Town Trophy, you won't be able to proceed south in the game. When you present the town with its trophy you will be rewarded with the Jump Spell. Hmm...I wonder what they won a trophy for.

Answer: The Ocean Palace

Three of the Palaces don't offer you Life support when you reach them. The easiest one in Parapa Desert, The Ocean Palace lies directly in line with the town of Nabooru, and you can reach it unopposed by enemies; and then there's the Great Palace. The Great Palace offers you the biggest challenge, so one might expect that it doesn't offer you the opportunity to heal yourself. The offer is in the statue that stands on the pedestal as you first reach some of the Palaces. Poke it and you'll get either Magic or a Dark Red Ironknuckle. If you get the Ironknuckle, just exit and try again until you get the Magic. However, remember to reset the statue before entering the Palace, just in case you need Magic later. In which case enter the elevator, go back and forth until you get the Magic to avoid resetting your progress in the Palace. *My game tip*
