Nintendo Power Volume 008 (September / October 1989): Difference between revisions

In the Player's Pulse, Kerry Bachman writes in, talking about his accomplishment of finally reaching Level Nine in ''The Legend of Zelda''. Kerry writes that he called in to the Nintnedo Hotline for advice on completing Level Nine, but the counselors did not give him the solution. The counselors told him that this was secret information. In their answer, Nintendo writes that they are proud of Kerry for reaching Level Nine, but completing a game is an important achievement that players should be proud of. They don't want to destroy that surprise, so they only disclose limited informatoin about level nine.

Nintendo Power offers a solution for getting through Death Mountain. When faced with an option, always choose the path that leads to the east. The only exception is if there is no path to the east, then take the only other available path. Once he gets through the maze, Link will find a hole in a wide open space that he can drop down into. This is the way to the Hammer, but the enemies in Death Mountain are mean and malicious. Link should first get the [[Life Spell]] by returning the [[Mirror]] to one of the villagers in [[Saria]]. It is also recommened to build up your Attack, Magic, and Life up to the fourth level before taking on Death Mountain.
