great vid! subscribed. the only thing i'd change is that it would have been cool to see you plow through the first dungeon with all of the additional gear
And the first dungeon: when you enter it, leave and re-enter and that locked door will disappear! This will save you one key. It's the easiest glitch in the game.
I mean, in the first Zelda you could technically visit all seven other dungeons before going to the first dungeon, but that really doesn't sound interesting. Well, when you get to Link's Awakening, you can have some fun with the screen-warp trick. I used to try to find out how much of the game I could clear without ever getting the sword.
Exactly but you cannot beat level 6. The dungeon boss (the "spider") can only be beaten by the arrow and you need the bow from dungeon 1. So you can only grab 6 of those 7 heart containers from dungeon (Level) 2-8.
Yeah, that one is blocking the door for the magic key. So in dungeon 8 you can at least pick up: the magic book, heart container and triforce piece. That magic key is similar to have a lot of keys. You can buy keys and you can use the glitch in dungeon 1 to remove the locked door in the first room. So you don't miss a lot by not having the magic key :)
Whenever I pick up LOZ to play it, this is exactly what I do, except for the power bracelet. I pick that up after getting the ladder in D4. It's fun kicking all ass regionally available in those first 4 dungeons.
The bomb drop isn't entirely random. If you kill 10 enemies without taking damage, the 10th enemy that dies (if it is an enemy type that can drop bombs) will have a forced bomb drop.
No, that’s incorrect. You have to kill the 10th enemy with a bomb. It doesn’t matter whether the enemy can drop booms or not, just that they *can* drop something. For example, red octorocks cannot drop bombs normally, and blue octorocks can on certain kill counts. If either one is the 10th enemy killed (with no damage) with a bomb, then it will force a bomb drop. If either one is killed with anything else, then a 5 rupee will drop. If the 10th enemy is something that cannot drop items (such as keese or gels), and is killed with a bomb, then that forced bomb drop gets stored and saved until the next item dropping enemy is killed. So if the 10th enemy is a keese killed with a bomb (nothing will drop), then you go kill a stalthos with the sword, the stalthos will drop a forced bomb.
@@pyrefox7 You have the right of it. I had the 10 kill forced bomb drop rule and the 8 kill 50/50 bomb drop rule blended together in my head for some reason.
@@-Keith- there are two counters. The consecutive counter is as pyrefox describes above. There's another coutner where the number just cycles through 1 through 0 of all enemies regardless of getting hit. If you kill a bomb dropping enemy on 1, 6, or 8 that's when it can drop a bomb (something like 38% chance of a drop). Speedrunners will keep that counter in their heads too for the random chances. The consecutive counter preempts that with the forced 5 rupee/bomb. 16 in a row drops a fairy, but that can be skipped if the 16th enemy doesn't drop anything.
Another gen x'er here. I got LOZ with my NES on the Christmas of 1989 and have been a fan of both since. I wish I could relive that time. Now my 6yo daughter and I are playing Echoes of Wisdom that she got for Christmas. Pretty cool to see it come full circle. Anyway great video. I look forward to more like it.
Yeah I thought about that as well! But in reality you will never use it for that. In reality you will only use it once :) Will it work for Ganon so he will stay on one position? Not sure...
There's a bombable wall one screen to the left of the starting location that hides a gambling man (who you can easily cheese with savescumming), and there's a burnable bush on the screen to the right of the starting location with a medicine lady
@@SilverDragon-Gamer Well, like I said, it's easy to cheese if you're willing to save scum. It's a 1/3 chance to win either 20 or 50 Rupees; if you win, you can use the up + A trick to save, or if you lose, you can use it to retry. Of course, savestates or rewinds make it even easier to cheat, since the winning position is determined when you enter the room.
You can farm rupees to buy the candle. Tektites just east of your start drop lots of blue rupees. Then kill moblins for bombs not octorocks. The moblins south of the fairy pond by level 3.. Burn that 100 bush and the 10 by the Lost Woods. Next get 3 of the 5 over world Heart Containers. Use the Hundred to Buy the Magic Shield for 90 south of Level 1. Also burn that Bush for the Heart. Now the 30 and the 10 by Level 1. Making your way to Big Rock for Heart 2.. Get the 30 just east of it then the letter and 100 above the Gambling Game. . Now go south by level 2 and pick up a few more 30s and get heart 3 by the coast. Loop around the coast back to the North, up the ladder and west by Level 5 for White Sword. Now up and A to instant save and go back to start. You should have the 250 for the Blue Ring. The arrows and the meat can quickly be earned from secrets, octorocks, and Tektites. Off the top of my head I'm pretty sure that's everything. Maybe get the power bracelet for warping but that is optional.
@@yajeel you can get rupies in some caves so you can buy bomb sets. Then you can bomb up these caves and grab the heart containers. Will probably take a little bit more time. I think it's faster with the wooden sword like in this video :)
You saw in this video how he got 100 rupies at the northeast corner and 30 rupies when he touched that "green guard". The wooden sword is not needed for that. So you can easily grab 130 rupies without having any sword. Just avoid taking damage from enemies.
*Very strong.* It's easy to grab bombs, the candle, tons of Hearts, a red potion (after grabbing letter), and finally, the Blue Ring. Doesn't take more than 12 minutes of gameplay without leaving the Overworld.
@@cidchocobo6691well that is true but you need a bomb for that to work. The drop rotation never changes and is the easiest way. You start out at zero on the global counter. It goes 1-10. Certain enemies, drop on 1,6,and 8. It’s luck if you get the drop or not but there is a chart on the net that shows this.
(2:24) You took the long way around there. You could've just gone up that ladder from that screen where you got your second heart container, then went west two screens from there to get to the waterfall screen. (5:42) That cave right there is a medicine shop, so you could've crossed that off of your shopping list on your way to the first fast travel spot. (6:37) If you were unlucky and didn't get any bomb drops from blue Octoroks on your way around the beach early on, odds are that you got at least 20 rupees from the slain enemies, and you can just buy bombs at this shop.
I wasn't really trying to be uber efficient with the run. I know it could be setup for better efficiency. I had created an ordered list and was just following it, plus I tend to get distracted at t.....SQUIRREL!!
(without looking at the video): Blue Candle, 8 Bombs, Arrow (unusable), Blue Ring, Enemy Bait, Magic Shield, Power Bracelet, 6 Hearts, White Sword, Letter, Red Water of Life. (watched video) Yep, I was right! I've played this game too many times. The Bait is actually potentially useful, it causes some monsters to home in on its position while it's on the screen. In practice though, it's effects are slight, and it's nearly the same as just defeating the enemies without it.
I did this same thing in Ocarina. There's not much to get before the Deku Tree. Afterwards though, you get a ton before Dodongo's Cavern and again before completing your first Adult Dungeon (which is actually the Water Temple).
You can get bombs from the very first enemy you kill if you do it carefully. From the start screen, after you get your sword, go up, left, and left again without killing any octoroks on the way. Kill a blue octorok first on the screen where the old lady's cave is, and you should get bombs on the first try (if you don't, reset the game and try again- it works more often than not). Then, go right a screen and kill all of the red octoroks, then left again and kill a blue one. That should get you 8 bombs before you're even 1-2 minutes into the game.
Before watching the video I'm going to make a guess. 6 hearts, 8 bombs, white sword, magic shield, blue ring, blue candle, power bracelet, and red potion. Could also have any number of keys, but I don't count those as power, same with bait. Also not counting arrows, since the bow is in Dungeon 1
you can manipulate the bombs to drop So as long as you dont get hit they will always drop on the 4th and 8th kill of a mob that drops them so if you ensure the 4th kill is a blue mob you can guarantee a bomb I could be off on the kills as i havent played in a long time but it is able to be manipulated
Hahahah! I used to do this in Zelda a lot, it's like playing any Elder Scrolls game and putting off the main quest line until later. But you're not fully powered up yet! You can do some other levels first to get more heart containers before going to lvl 1! Sometimes, just for fun...I skip the wooden sword and go straight for the white sword, it's tricky but if you know where all the secrets are that don't require a bomb or candle, it's doable, then you buy the candle asap, then farm bombs.
No hate for any who joins me here, regardless of age. Welcome to the channel. All are welcome, I just happen to be a Gen Xer dad trying to find some new skills and fun times
Before watching the video (I swear), I'll say what I do: I get bombs, six total heart containers (I find 3), second sword, blue ring, bracelet, letter, potion, arrows, the meat, and (sometimes) the magic book, before setting foot into the first dungeon. (Edit: forgot about the big shield and the blue candle! Gotta have the candle to get the other heart container.) Magic book is in Level 8, so maybe that's cheating? I mostly get it because _I can,_ and also it makes the magic wand better from the get-go. Sometimes I'll max out my rupees (arrows) too. It varies, tho. I'll definitely get bombs, 6 hearts, and the second sword before Level 1. Usually spend at least an hour in the overworld before the first dungeon, though.

Agreed! I was hoping to see that as well. Really fun idea.
This is also good to know if one is doing a randomizer. Practically half the items checked before even stepping foot into a dungeon.
randomizer is the best way to play (after you've tired of the vanilla game)
Thank you for the early power up guide. I'm shocked at myself how many times I've played through this game.
That first dungeon is going to look like a cake walk with that stuff.
And the first dungeon: when you enter it, leave and re-enter and that locked door will disappear! This will save you one key. It's the easiest glitch in the game.

It's a "blue spider" in level 8, I think you need to hit it with 3 arrows instead of 1 in level 6. In the eye of course.

The phrase "first dungeon" is ambiguous and you can get a lot more powered up if you use the other meaning. Level 1 can be completed as late as third-to-last if I'm not mistaken since you need its arrow for the boss of Level 6 and you can't get into Level 9 without clearing the other eight.
I usually get the arrow 1 south from the blue ring. You went there for the ring bait and 2 south for medicine
now win the game without getting the first sword. I completed this mission in only three lives in 1990.
You can also complete the other dungeons first get the master sword and do the first dungeon last
Heard this concept. Thought "neat". Then I remembered Zelda 2. Yeah, glhf.
"The white sword is the 2nd most powerful sword in the game" is so funny! There are only 3 swords
Haven't watched the vid yet. But for quite some time now, for years, whenever I pick up and play Zelda 1, I I get all of the Heart Containers in the world that I can get, the White Sword, the Power Bracelet, blue ring, buyable stuff like arrows and potions and such, clear each square of the overworld of all enemies except 1 so it'll remain at 1, dip into Dungeon 8 for the book.THEN, after I've done and gotten everything possible, then I enter Dungeon 1 =P XD
Fun twist to starting the game...nice.
I took it one step further and did levels 2,3,4,5 before level 1. You need bow & arrows for level 6.

You should have done ALL the dungeons you can do and try to get their items.
I can get the upgraded White Sword before any dungeon and do that every time.
You could have gotten white sword way faster, just go up one screen from where you got that heart, then go right twice.
You mean go left twice, not right twice.
@ yes.
What i really meant was go left, right, left because that screen is a loop.
I've been doing max power before level 1 for years. But I get my bombs by going west to the Blue Octoroks and Monlins.
You don't actually have to get the wooden sword but it's a lot easier with it
Neat little experiment. Any interest in doing something similar with other Zelda titles?
That is the plan. I am going to go through each of the Zelda titles and do this same thing. Quest 2 for Zelda 1 is next on the list.
I've been doing it this way since the 90s
I personally go for the ladders and raft also before taking on the first dungeon. 😆
i usually do this not in that order and i never get the map until later but op in those beginning dungeons is nice
how strong: White Sword, 6 hearts, power bracelet, bombs, Blue Ring, magic Shield, arrows for Bow, 2nd potion. Its insane I tell ya
This is how I used to play the game. It makes the rest of the game a breeze.
Could've also loaded up on keys! That would be tedious, but it's possible before Dungeon 1. :)
Heh, I did this on my last playthrough a few months ago. Nice.
What about the second quest?
Wrong, unless you're saying before ANY dungeon. You can still enter Levels 2 and up and get more items and heart containers before entering Level 1.
That is literally the entire premise of this video. How far can you get before entering a single dungeon.
What about the Magic Book? You could have gotten that too
The Magic Book is found in a dungeon (specifically, level 8), so that's a nope.
Please do link's awakening The original Thanks
The bait is used more in the second quest
do 2nd quest
I like that suggestion! I will add it to the list!
Super inefficient. I could get everything here in 20% of time. Also, you could have just pressed start at the end to show off everything you got.

This one is perftect.
The power bracelet does nothing for power, that was a waste of time.
