Freedom in Chains

PLAYED BY RETRODAD

This is a metroidvania quest with a fairly open progression and a bunch of scripted items. It's pretty old so it still has some rough edges and I never finished the planned update. I've patched up the file as best I could and removed some traces of planned ideas that were scrapped.

DESCRIPTION
This is a metroidvania quest with a fairly open progression and a bunch of scripted items. It's pretty old so it still has some rough edges and I never finished the planned update. I've patched up the file as best I could and removed some traces of planned ideas that were scrapped.
QUEST INFORMATION
I originally made this quest for the 2015 Summer Two Week quest contest. Do you still think they'll accept it?
STORY / TIPS & NOTES
"Be wary of the Gerudo with skin darkened by evil intent and hair like blood and fire. One will release the imprisoned and Hyrule will know despair once again."
From a dark prophecy with no known origin, Hyrule descends into fear and paranoia. Their king, caving to these fears, orders the persecution and imprisonment of the Gerudo. One such Gerudo, a boy named Ganon, is dumped into a makeshift prison on a floating continent. With no hope of rescue and monsters as the only wardens, he sets out to find a way to free his people.
Tips & Cheats
There might be a couple scrapped items from the original bonus dungeon hidden behind something silly. See if you can find them.
