SQ Level Three - The L

SQ Entrance Underworld III

So now we're in the third underworld, and much like the first quest, the first three dungeons of the second quest proceed quite smoothly and quickly (especially after getting the white sword).  Now, this dungeon is shaped like an "L", and with what I know about dungeoneering...that was probably a poor choice of design.  There's one of two tails that the boss is in, right?  So explore the shorter one first and then head up the longer one.

Granted, the second quest isn't quite so straight-forward and offers a little bit of puzzle-challenge, but for this dungeon it seems a bit off.  The level of action is right on, but it didn't step up any from the first/second levels, so since the level of difficulty isn't really seen as getting any worse for Link, this dungeon seems even faster than the first two because of the experience factor.

Now one would think that, as the second level introduced the illusion wall to us, that level three would play with it more, right?  You are sadly mistaken, young apprentice.  That's what just seems out of place in this dungeon.  In the first quest (and so far in the second quest) the dungeons layer themselves in difficulty.  Puzzle and action elements you find in one you can expect to find in the next along with at least one thing that will be novel.

One way or another, Link explored the L and found the third piece of the Triforce with little problems.

I apologize to all of you who are reading my blog; in this screenshot you can also clearly see my entire entertainment system.  Not a great one, I must say, but it does settle the job.
