Isn't this missable?

Good catch ahstro - updated the title with a missable tag. Thank you for speaking up.

how do you do this?

Exactly as the achievement suggests... you beat Turtle Rock before taking on any of the other dungeons, suggestion would be to ransack all the other dungeons first to get their items and then get all the heart pieces for 13 Heart Containers of health.

This achievement just sounds like pointless detours

Zelda gives you a new Dialogue!

Reaaaaally. Alright, interesting

I'd say the main positive about this is Ice Palace not being required lol I despise that dungeon. 4 fairies and green tunic isn't that bad if it means not stepping foot in that monstrosity of a dungeon.

This does show off how non-linear this game is, which I think is interesting. Extra dialogue is kinda cool but I wish it was...better? Still, it's interesting that the devs thought of this and planned for it to happen.

Will the achievement still work if you defeat the others bosses just to get a heart piece but leave w/ out picking up the crystal?

So once in shadow world you have to go to the dark temple to pick up the hammer, go to Swamp Palace to pick up the hoockshot, go to skull woods to get the fire rod, go to Gargoyle’s Domain to get the tittans mitt, go to misery mire to get the cane of somaria. As well you need the Ether and the Quake Medallion to get into Misery Mire and Turtle rock.

No boss fight started and in Gargoyle’s Domain when the woman following you were you get the titans mitt i use the mirror to spawn at the entrance and left it afterwards.

This was an oddly enjoyable challenge. We initially tried to couple it with the bottleless achievement, but we really needed the bottles to rescue Zelda. We're not quite that skilled. Luckily, we had the sense to copy our save when we realized we needed bottles, so at least we won't have to start from square one.

The unique dialog already triggers if you just leave out rescuing one maiden.

You can leave out one before go to zelda to get

So this cheevo is just a waste of time.
