Not to mention the gigantic bot

Wednesday, January 14, 2004 » gaming thought

I think the most terrifying moment of the entire Zelda series is that room in the original's Level 2 where you get the magic boomerang and there are blue goriyas and all sorts of statues shooting hundreds of fireballs (or whatever those things are) at you. It gave me nightmares as a kid, and now, thanks to Nintendo's generous Zelda Collector's Disc, that tradition can continue well into the year 3000.

Shadow Link was pretty intense, too, I guess. He can have an honorable mention.

I had more trouble with Levels 5, 6, and 8. The rooms full of Darknuts in 5 and 8, and the Like Likes and Wizzrobes in Level 6. So many ruined shields...

The Level 2 room can be made much less painful if you keep entering and exiting the first three or so rooms in the dungeon and fighting the Ropes, since I found they're more likely to leave behind rubies than other enemies. Save 255 of them, then buy the Blue Ring.
