Legend of Zelda; Link to the Past - Any Tips?

[Hearse Pileup]

I've just re-downloaded the ROM for use on my phone. I got pretty far before and am not looking forward to catching back up to where I was before (Second temple in dark world, I think?).

Any tips for getting back there fast?

Follow a walkthrough guide?

Yeah, I was following a walkthrough before, but I found it was pretty heavy going. I think it was aiming at 100% completion. As it's the second time I'm starting out I'm less inclined to do everything and was wondering if there were any recommendations on how best to progress through it.

Let's see if I get this right - you've got a walk through / cheat guide and you're asking for help to cheat on the cheat guide

Nah I'm asking what's worked out for people in their experiences of the game. It's my first time playing a Zelda title, and older games can have a tendancy to be a lot more difficult/unplayable without guides.

At the moment I'm just winging it and it's already feeling a little more fun than the first playthrough.

I'm looking to catch up to where I was without it feeling like drudgery

Honestly. You may as well follow a walkthrough. I completed this game on game boy when it first came out and although there are bits you can skip eventually you become stuck and have to find the something your missing or level up some other way. The walkthrough will be the quickest way ultimately to get back to where you got without then having to retread steps again that you’re trying to skip past. The older Zelda games are a bit more linear despite the open word than the modern titles.

Ahh fair enough. I'll give it a shot. Do you think maybe ocarina of time is a better introduction? It's the one everyone I know has mentioned.

Either way you got to prepared to put the time in.

Yeah, completely fair. I was playing it on my commute before, but at home I'm not finding it as engrossing but that might just be the psychology of lockdown playing on me.
