Comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions

3. Under a pot on 6F, in a side room with an empty chest on the path you
must follow.
17) Is There any Reason I Have to Collect all the Crystals?
Apparently the answer to this question is no. If you fight Ganon with 1 to 2 crystals
however, he requires nearly 80 Silver Arrows to beat, but this needs independent
verification.
18) How Many Pieces of Heart are in this Game?
More than enough for 20 hearts (the maximum). Technically, there are 50 heart pieces and
three containers, leaving you with 20 hearts & 1/2 (two pieces). I finished with 20 hearts
and one piece. One of these pieces may disappear, see Q5 & Section F. One of these has
also
been reported to be obtainable twice.
See Section F for the heart piece guide.
19) How Many Tablets are There?
There are 7 Tablets - one for each Icy World dungeon. Their place is shown in
the inventory next to the Big Door and Big Chest keys. It is a big secret and
if you do not want it spoiled I suggest you stop reading this section now.
20) What is the secret of the Tablets?
(MAJOR SPOILERS!!!)
If you collect all 7 of them, at the end of the game you will be given the name
you need to use to start the Second Quest.
21) Is There a Second Quest? What is the Difference?
(MAJOR SPOILERS!!!)
Yes, there is. It is "shorter and harder". I have not finished it.
The first indication of the 2nd Quest occurs on Farore's Isle, which doesn’t
Exist. Instead you get the Fire Rod and Ice Rod. Only two dungeons are beatable:
Darunia’s Cavern and Shiek’s Hideout. The only required one is Darunia’s Cavern.
Shiek’s Hideout requires some creative thinking without the Hookshot (bring
boots,) and a bomb boost is required to reach it.
Ganon requires 70-someodd Silver Arrows to beat.
At the end you get access to a special dungeon and an alternate ending with
Trinexx finally making his appearance.
Tompa will be adding more information for the next release.
22) How Can I Access the 2nd Quest?
There really is little reason to access the 2nd Quest without completing
the first, and collecting what you need to access it isn’t hard. But it
is unavoidable that the access method be made public.
(MAJOR SPOILERS!!!)
See Q20 First.
