The 2nd Quest

Zach is taking a break from this project for a couple weeks to focus on some school work.  So, in his absence I decided to keep going with the original Legend of Zelda and try to beat the second quest.  I am almost ashamed to admit that despite my love for Zelda this is a feat I have started on a number of occasions, but never accomplished.  Well, after a few minutes of playing the second quest I remembered why I never beat it.  The dungeons are harder...much harder.  Whoever designed them was frankly just evil.  The first quest is hard enough figuring out which walls to bomb, and how to get past some of the harder rooms, but the second quest is practically impossible without a map.  At this point I'm through the first four dungeons, which I believe is further than I've ever progressed before. BTW: What's up with there being no real boss of the 3rd dungeon...not that I'm complaining, but there were two or three mini-bosses, but before the triforce room, just a few boomerang guys.  I'll keep you updated as I go.
