Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

100% Glitchless 1CC

Definition

We collect every permanently collectable item except for small keys. This includes:

  • All treasure bags
  • All menu items
  • All "flag" items (such as the mirror and water)
  • All heart and magic containers
  • All spells
  • All techniques
  • Level 8 in all stats

Additionally, we ban the use of all glitches. This includes, but isn't limited to:

  • Scroll Lock
  • "Glitch" Towns
  • "HUD" Fairy
  • Screen Wrap
  • Using Fairy to pass through keydoors
    • This is patched in PAL 1.2, which we can infer means it is a glitch.

Finally, 1CC - 1 credit clear - means that we must never obtain a Game Over, including an implied Game Over by manually saving the game and returning to the Northern Palace.

Level route is very basic. Take attack to 8, then prioritize health but take magic if you need the refill. Grind moa in Palace on the Sea if needed to ensure max levels by end-game.

It may be better to do dark Death Mountain first, however this is aimed at the FDS run and it’s a decent amount harder to do, and also aimed at a marathon.

Sorry to disappoint with this being a very brief forward, not everything I write can be a small essay.
