Nintendo 1.13 Video Games User Manual


 
BOW AND ARROWS:
Ahh...an old favorite. You first find the Bow and Arrows in the Eastern
Palace. It can be used to defeat enemies, and some enemies can only be
defeated with the arrows. There is a limited number of arrows you can
carry. You can increase this amount my throwing rupees into the
fountain
in the cave in Lake Hylia (Light World). Additionally, the regular
arrows can be upgraded to silver arrows near the end of the game.
BOOMERANG:
You find the boomerang in the dungeons of Hyrule Castle at the
beginning
of the game. It's a nice weapon for attacking enemies (it only stuns
them), and it can also be used for fetching items like rupees in hard
to
reach places. This can later be upgraded to the red boomerang, which
stretches all the way across the screen!
HOOKSHOT:
You get this item in the 2nd dungeon of the Dark World. I like to keep
this equipped when I'm not using other items. It's primary use it to
grapple onto distant objects and pull yourself towards
them...especially
when you need to get across gaps. It's also a decent weapon for
stunning
enemies (just like the boomerang).
BOMB:
Bombs can be found all over Hyrule. In chests, enemies, stores, and
bushes. Lay it down on the floor and it will blow up in a few seconds.
It's especially useful for blowing holes in walls or floors. You can
usually see a crack in the wall if it's explodable. It can also be used
for attacking enemies, but it's pretty ineffective. You can increase
the
total number of bombs you can carry by throwing rupees into the
fountain
in the cave in Lake Hylia (Light World). Don't forget to stand back
when
the bomb explodes!
MUSHROOM/MAGIC POWDER:
You'll see a mushroom when you first go into the Lost Woods. There's
nothing you can do with it right now. Bring it to the magic shop in the
east. Give it to the witch there and she will brew up some magic powder
for you. The magic powder doesn't run out as long as your magic meter
isn't empty. Don't waste it. It can be used for a lot of wierd stuff.
FIRE ROD:
You find this weapon in the 3rd dungeon of the Dark World. It was a
great
weapon in Link's Awakening where it didn't use up any magic power. In
this game, a bit of magic is used up with each use of the magic rod, so
don't overuse it. It's used for lighting torches. I wouldn't waste it
on
enemies if I were you.
ICE ROD:
