+===Howard & Nester (pp. 60-61)===
+In this volumes [[Howard & Nester]] comic, Nester can be found in a library doing school work, although he's bored with the books that are offered, including Shaprespeare, Hemingway, and Dr. Suess. He instead pulls out a different book and imagines himself within the world of [[Hyrule]]. He in the middle of Link's quest in ''The Adventure of Link'', unable to cross the river at the [[Water Town of Saria]]. Nester pumps into Howard, who gives him the advice that he must find [[Bagu]], who is located in a log cabin right in the middle of the woods, north of Saria. The comic ends with Nester appearing back in the Library, having left the fantasy world of Zelda.
+===Classified Information (pp. 66-68)===
+In the [[Classified Information]] portion of the magazine, multiple strategies are given for ''The Adventure of Link'', as well as one for ''The Legend of Zelda''.
+====Ironknuckle Strategies====
+There are multiple tips on how to battle an [[Iron Knuckle]]. While at lower levels, the guide offers the strategy to simply avoid them by casting the [[Jump Spell]] and avoiding compbat altogether. A unique strategy is available if you encounter an Iron Knuckle near an elevator. Link can stand on the elevator and move down, slash at the Iron Knuckle and then move off, just as the enemy lunges back at him.
+An additional strategy is crouch down and jump, followed by a jab as quickly as possible. This method works well, although simply jumping and jabbing on the way down works great as well. Using an NES Advantage or NES Max controller with a turbo feature also helps make these battles simpler.
+At Palace Two and onward, Link can jab at the visor of the Iron Knuckle statue located at the entrance of each palace. This will cause a [[Red Magic Jar]] to appear, or the Iron Knuckle will come to life. If the Iron Knuckles does come to life, Link can defeat him for 100 [[Experience Points]], leave the palace, and come back to repeat the process until a red jar is dropped.
+====Experience Transfer====
+After completing the game, Link is able to restart another quest, this time starting with Level 8 Attack, Magic, and Life. Upon completing the first palace and placing the jewel in the statue, Link's experience will go all the way up to 9,000. As it rises, but before it maxes out, if you Pause the game and then press the A Button and Up on the second controller, you'll be given the option to Continue or Save. Select 'Save' and then back at the select screen, pick a new game from a different game file. Once you load up the game, your experience points will still rise up, allowing Link to upgrades several of his levels, right from the very start of the game.
+====Spawn Easier Enemies====
+In ''The Legend of Zelda'', within dungeons that have multiple variants of enemies, one strategy is to first enter the room and defeat only the weakest types of enemies. Then leave the room, come back, and the number of remaining enemies will be the same. However, some of the tougher enemies will be replaced with weaker enemies. You can repeat this process mulitple times and in some cases, will never have to fight off the strongest enemies.
+===Top 30 (pp. 70-72)===
 In this volumes ''Top 30'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' drops down to number 3 spot, while with ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' bumps up to the number 2 spot. Their total points are almost a virtual tie, with both games being considerably behind the recently released ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. ''Adventure of Link'' comes in with 5,622 points, while ''The Legend of Zelda'' has 5,563 points.
