GANON [fire, silver or silverless]

Remember to suckerpunch
Remember to select fire *before* the fourth stomp
Remember double-hitting with arrows is possible
Remember silverless requires a lot more magic
And wouldn't this be a good time to buy a blue potion?

LANTERNLESS

Death mountain:

(entry cave: up until jump, go right holding up, right holding down then immediately bonk and right holding up, (OLDMAN), go right holding down, go right, go down)

(entry cave reverse: go up until wall, go up holding left, go left holding down, go left holding up, (OLDMAN), go right holding down, go right, go down)

Eastern palace:

(Right side: Down and right until switch, up and right. Walk straight right, two pots, up at wall, one pot, key. Left and out. Left and down, up and down.)

(Past big key: Immediately fire left (or right))

Palace of Darkness:

(Maze: Up and *slight* left until still, left and down until still, up and left until still, down and left until still, up, CHEST,

-Note right wall is flush with screen; left is not.-

down until still, down and right until still, down and left x2 until still (in corner now), right and up (prefer right) until still (monster), left and down as far as you can go (prefer down), right and down until still, short up and CHEST,

left until still, SLIGHT upright (1 square, go up first), right until still, upright until still, bomb.)

(Blue carpet room: Left fire immediately after entry)

(Downstairs: hammer left, hit crystal in topright from left wall, keydoor in center left, left and kill a turtle, fire in centerleft and centerright, right, warp (fire right from door if no fire), up while hammering))

Mire:

(Downstairs: -Must have orange down before start-

left all the way from the entrance down slight diagonal, as SOON as diagonal stops one square downright is switch skull, use red cane, DIRECTLY down and then a little left,

left to wall, keep going down wall until door,

left down to corner, up to skull, "wiggle" around pole, down to skull, down left to corner, up slashing sword to see position of firething, a litthe right and up is crystal, it should be red, down and left to door,

must somehow bomb in dead center of room??, then crystal, then back down, then door in left center.)

krelbel from discord recommends for red cane room:

"use the sword poke to locate the left wall, turn around and pick up the pot, walk to the lower left corner, wait for a fireball round to pass, then place the block, pick it up, dodge another round of fireballs (optional if you're fast enough), then from the lower left corner, walk right a bit then up a bit and throw"

METADATA

NOTATION ABOVE
[item] means requirement
item? means item is required for chest completion but not for dungeon completion
?? means TODO
(1) means item is a "hardcoded" key (not randomized)
"OPEN" means no special items needed
"REAL" means there is a chance for a useful item
"TO BOSS" refers to the number of keys from the big key door to the boss; if no TO BOSS is listed for a dungeon, then it's a straight shot from the big key.
