MasterQuesting III

Please read MasterQuesting I and MasterQuesting II before proceeding.

We progressed into the rest of the game wide eyed and excited. But we were let down. The rest of the game was just like Ocarina of Time. Not harder, just different. At some point we looked at the FAQ for Master Quest and found out that in that level where we experienced such hardships, if we hit the switch at the right time, it would lower the water level enough so that we could get under the spike unscathed. This was a huge disappointment.

Nevertheless, from now on "MasterQuesting" will be known as the act of using the game's mechanics in the strictest sense to progress through a level. This can include anything where something inherent to the game (without the addition of hacking software) can be exploited to proceed. It usually will result in the player working much harder than necessary because they cannot find any other way.
