See if you can beat my time! [/sarcasm]

Maze of Hyrule: Part 4

If you thought the layout of Level 3 was interesting, you ain't seen nothing yet!

NEW LP!

Secret of Mana: Part 1

Secret of Mana is an action-RPG for the SNES from 1993. Technically the second of the Mana series (the first being Final Fantasy Adventure, which was later remade as Sword of Mana), it introduced elements that would become staples of the series like the circle menus. While it received critical acclaim at the time, it could have been much more, as it was originally intended to be for the ill-fated CD add-on. When that fell through, the game had to be pruned in order to fit in the cartridge.

This is not a blind run, but it has been so long since I last played it might as well be.

Maze of Hyrule: Part 5

In a place like this, a compass doesn't really help much.

Secret of Mana: Part 2

After getting some plot at the Water Palace, I find myself in a pot of trouble.

Maze of Hyrule: Part 6 (Final)

I can only imagine how much planning goes into these block puzzles.

Secret of Mana: Part 3

This game appears to be having trouble figuring out where to send me right now.

Zelda Classic - Promised Lands: Part 1

Promised Lands, the most recent quest made by Jamian, is definitely a change of pace compared to other quests I've done recently. With unique gameplay elements, custom bosses and mini-bosses and a tileset highly influenced by Link's Awakening (and, *gasp* actual plot), this quest looks really nice from what I've seen so far. There's even a beastiary, the mechanics of which reminds me of Aria of Sorrow.

Secret of Mana: Part 4

You can never have too many allies... or weapons for that matter.

Promised Lands: Part 2

Getting the Hover Boots here would be nice, but I'm not going to count on that.

Secret of Mana: Part 5

Time to head back to the Haunted Forest to take care of that witch... eventually.

Promised Lands: Part 3

Speaking as someone who doesn't know a lick about the technical aspects, these bosses look pretty neat. Tough, but neat.

Secret of Mana: Part 6

A cat that big should not be that hard to hit.

Promised Lands: Part 4

Exploring more of the world... which apparently includes the underside.

Secret of Mana: Part 7

If you are what you eat, then we are the embodiment of pain.

Promised Lands: Part 5

Percussive maintenance: the best way to deal with any mechanical device.

Secret of Mana: Part 8

I guess I might have seen that lava room once before, but heck if I knew what it was supposed to be.

Promised Lands: Part 6

A ranged weapon with more versatility than usual? Count me in!

Secret of Mana: Part 9

Insanity is defined as doing the same thing multiple times and expecting a different result. What does that make this?

Promised Lands: Part 7

I think it might be a bit early to be in the Den of Evil, but here we are.

Secret of Mana: Part 10

Fluke or no fluke, I'll take whatever good fortune I can get.

Promised Lands: Part 8

I wonder what "Golden Power" these goddesses would give. Would it look like something out of A Link Between Worlds?

Secret of Mana: Part 11

Seriously, I need to stop stumbling into bosses like this.

Whaaaaat? MeleeWizard's on the Talkhaus? I… didn't know that? Well! Good to see you here. I love your LPs and, though I haven't seen all of them I have been with you channel for a few years.

Promised Lands: Part 9

Time to take on the Giant Omega Fairy of DOOOOOM!
