Zelda Outlands, Tips & Discussion

[elvis8atari]

So I just recently picked up a few NES reproduction carts. I got Zelda Outlands, Mario 2 (the japanese lost levels one), and Zelda The Shadow of Link.

Anyhow, I started playing Zelda Outlands. I heard it was hard before I got it. But I've beaten every single other Zelda, so I figured I'd give this a shot. Well, even for a seasoned player like myself, it's still pretty darn hard..

I have to admit, I've been getting a little stuck. And there's some stuff I just can't figure out at all. So if there's anyone out there who's played this game, or beaten it, some help would be great. I'm sure i'll have more questions when I get to the second quest too.. If I even get there..

Also, if anyone needs help, I'd be glad to offer it.

One thing I can't seem to figure out is how to get through the maze in the lower left corner of the map. Theres a rock formation shaped like an arrow. Then there's a stone that you push. And a staircase opens. When I go down the staircase, the guy says "one way" and i end up on the bottom of the screen. Then when I go down again, it brings you to the top. (its like the lost woods in zelda 1) Anyway, I'm pretty muched stumped on how to get through this part, and can't find any walkthroughs. So some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I want this game badly! It looks so legit.

Actually, I just beat the First Quest. It was pretty hard, I won't lie. I may need help on the second quest. Hopefully someone else out there has played this. By the way, for anyone who has beaten Zelda 1, this is worth getting.
