 *"How do I get through [[Level 7: The Demon|Level Seven]]?"
 Nintendo Powers encourages the player to bomb every wall, even if it doesn't appear as if there is a door in that direction. Additionally, within the dungeon, an [[Old Man]] gives Link the tip, ''There's A Secret In The Tip Of The Nose.'' When playing, it can be unclear exactly which room of the map the tip of the nose is referring to. The counselor refers to that room as the room with a bunch of [[Wallmaster]]s and several blocks. Link must not pickup a [[Magical Clock]], as it will freeze the enemies in the room, preventing more Wallmasters from coming out. Link has to defeat all the wallmasters in the room before than pushing a block, revelaing a stairway.
+===Player's Poll Contest (pp. 88-90)===
+In the Player's Poll Contest, 10 copies of ''The Adventure of Link'' were given out as a prize to winners. In order to be eligible, readers simply needed to fill out the Player's Poll response card and send it in to Ninteno Power. The poll asks players which game reviews they enjoyed reading the most, with ''The Adventure of Link'' being an option. The poll also asks readers to submit what their age is. Lastly, the poll asks readers what games they'd like to see reviewed, what games they plan on purchasing, and other questions related to the magazine. There is a list of 118 games to choose from for this question, including ''The Legend of Zelda'' and ''The Adventure of Link''.
+On the Player's Poll contest card, there are numerous official artwork pieces of [[Link]] from ''The Legend of Zelda''.
+===NES Journal (pp. 93-95)===
+In the [[NES Journal]], an advertisement for [[The Legend of Zelda Tips & Tactics Strategy Guide]] is shown, alongside an ad for ''How to win at Super Mario Bros.'' Both books are available for the purchase price of $4.95.
+====Nintendo Cereal System====
+There is a brief mention of the upcoming Nintendo Cereal System, from Ralston Purina. Coming in April of 1989, the cereal features two different packets in each box, with a fruit flavored Super Mario Bros. and a berry fruit flavored Zelda cereal.
+===Mail Box (pp. 96-97)===
+As part of the [[Mail Box]], there is a customer service tip for ''The Legend of Zelda'', along with a piece of official artwork. Sometimes when saving the game, the internal memory is corrupted and the game save file is lost. The tip is that after clicking Save, the [[Select Screen]] will appear. From there, hold the reset button on the console. While holding the reset button, turn off the power to the NES. Doing so will likely assure that the save files that are on the cartridge will remain intact.
+In the [[Player's Forum]], a mother writes in to talk about her 4-year-old son, Sam. After watching his parents play, Sam was able to play ''The Legend of Zelda'' himself and defeat [[Ganon]] in both the main game and [[Second Quest]]. Sam is anxiously awaiting an opportunity to play ''The Adventure of Link''.
+===Video Spotlight (pp. 100-101)===
+In the Power Players Spotlight, many players are spotlighted as having completed ''The Legend of Zelda'', as well as other players having some anticipation for playing ''The Adventure of Link''. A few players give advice on completing the games, including always drawing out maps, and always carrying [[Red Potion|Medicine]] when entering dungeons.
+There is a screenshot of ''The Legend of Zelda'', showcasing the entrance to [[Level 8 (Second Quest)|Level 8]] in the Second Quest.
