I've heard really bad things about the Ice Palace, and I think the Skull Woods is really hard. I'm going to be stuck on the Ice Palace until I'm my parents' age! (Just kidding, but from what I've heard, it certainly won't be easy).
With enemies, yes, it's going to be difficult, but with puzzles, remember that you can fall into certain jars from a floor up. In both places, keep your Fire Rod handy. ;)
Carry as many faeries as you can. And if you see one of those skulls with red flames moving aimlessly around the room, sprinkly magic powder on it to get a faerie.
Are you talking about a Wisp? I need to remember that one! Thanks, Hi no Seijin! ;D
If it's the same name in ALttP. I wish Nintendo would've gave us some way to identify enemies in that games.
The enemies are hard to identify. I think I'd hate them less if I knew what half of them were. I beat the Skull Woods, and Thieves' Town isn't too bad. It's really nice to be able to move through a dungeon without being grabbed by a Wallmaster. :)
Yeah, Skull Woods was CRAWLING with Wallmasters. In there, it was either, "Keep moving!" or, "Bye, bye."
and thre whole moving thing there made me die several times...stupid wallmasters >:(
Get the 1/2 Magic curse and you can ise Fire Rod lots. But I klled all the penguins with Bombos ;)
It took a little while, but unless your really bad at puzzles or are Helen Keller you should have no problem.
once you beat it, you will get the hang of it (just make sure you have teh fire rod ;)). im disapointed because my mom beat ALTTP before me (but i learned how to beat it from her ;D)
3 fairys and a cure magic potion is best for Ice Palace.
or you could do 4 blue potions if you're sickly rich,like i always am in that game.
I recommend fairies because it's a pretty long haul throughout the Ice Palace, and to untrained players, they probably will die at least once. Luckily it's an easy boss if you've managed to conserve your magic.
I'm on the Ice Palace right now and it isn't too bad. And for some reason, I'm in Misery Mire before I've beaten the Ice Palace--I was dying to get the Ether Medallion and I finally did and then I was itching to find out what it did in that swamp.
