I was playing through today and I got stuck. I mean, without using Up+A. Normally the right wall is supposed to be bombed, but I came in from the top entrance, and that door isn't opening for some reason. I used all my bombs on the blue darknuts, and I don't have enough rupees to by the bomb upgrade.

I found another way to get stuck. If you're doing the game swordless, in level 4 you have to fight this thing. You can't kill it if you don't have any sword, bombs, candle, arrows, etc etc. I'm presuming there are tons more places you could get stuck like this. The one I posted before is more shocking though, since it's done with the sword, and is really a level design error.

Yeah, same with Gohma in level 6, and Ganon in level 9...you're locked in that room when you enter, and there's no guarantee that the player will have the arrows, since they run off of your cash... There's another "door trap" spot in level 4 of the 2nd quest...in the room with the book, walk up through the wall, into the room with the bomb upgrade. That wall's one-way, and you need a key to exit the 2-room area you've just gotten into, so if you have no keys, you're screwed... I guess this is why they included the Up+A trick...too lazy to fix their dungeon designs =P

You can get stuck in the first dungeon in a Keese filled room if you have no offensive items. I found that out years ago...

You're both right. I would have never thought of getting stuck in the keese room. Heh. I don't know if that counts. I doubt that they ever planned for someone to play the game without the sword. As for Up+A, I think it was a way of saving, rather as a solution to their level design errors. I imagine if you get to Ganon without the silver arrows you're stuck also.

That reminds me...One time, my brother was playing zelda for his first time. He got to Gannon, but he didn't have the silver arrows. He asked me if all that he needed was the sword, and I told him yes, because I had forgotten about them too. The poor kid tried beating him for an hour before I remembered about the silver arrows. >_<
