   and Lee Kremer                 : leekremer@aol.com

Version 1.0 - Created February 25, 1995.
Version 1.1 - June 26, 1996. New maps and several corrections in walkthroughs.
              Some extra notes at the end..
Version 1.2 - October 21, 2006 - updated my email address.

To play the second quest immediately, enter "ZELDA" as you name upon starting
the game.

The map of Hyrule is divided up into 8 rows and 16 columns. Use this as a
reference for the location of the 9 dungeons, bonus areas and locations of
other items.  This is for both missions.

If you can't find something, kill every knight statue, burn every bush, push
every rock, and bomb every wall on the screen.  In 2nd quest, blow the
whistle too. (yes, I did this on every screen and I am crazy) Note: these
will only look right with a monospaced font like Courier..

Notes:

1.The 1st quest red ring is in an "invisible" room at the extreme top right
  of level 9.  You must bomb the north wall of the northern room of the
  rightmost column of rooms to get to it.

2.Most other 1st quest levels have "invisible" rooms containing money in the
  "eyes" of the maps.  So do both level nines.

3.Levels 5 & 6 in the 1st quest have dual entrances under the knight statues.
  There is no difference I can see if you take the other entrance.  Any
  guesses what this is for?
