| 17 Jun 19:29 2017 |  | First Quest Swordless can be too *frustrating,* too much grinding for bombs to get past Darknuts/Wizzrobes, I suggest it get demoted in favor of Second Quest Swordless only, while keeping "Swordless Level 2" | ||
| 17 Jun 20:26 2017 | | I will add to my last comment: "Swordless Adventurer" seems to be more luck based over skill and challenge, since I know bomb droppings or not randomized, but the overall item droppings are. | ||
| 26 Jul 2:17 2017 |  | Achievements like swordless quest sap all the fun out of the game and ruin the point of retro achievements. | ||
| 26 Jul 2:21 2017 |  | I STRONGLY disagree with the idea of demoting the Swordless Quest cheevs, that was actually the most fun I HAD while completing this! | ||
| 6 Aug 23:14 2017 |  | Swordless quests were very fun for me too. i recommend following a guide to reduce the challenge. | ||
| 7 Aug 4:46 2017 | | It can be fun, but its RNG based: if the odds are against you it draws out endless grinding if not abusing a glitch. I was ref only the FIRST swordless quest being deducted for this reason BTW, as in the second you get non-melee weapons much earlier. | ||
| 30 Sep 1:19 2017 |  | Use ROM with checksum d3f453931146e95b04a31647de80fdab | ||
| 1 Oct 16:40 2017 | | @alecTwhite, I agree, if there is a way to transfer the achievement with everyone's progress that would be sublime. Also, with all the revisions the older games are getting addition to the new bonus sets, achievement guidelines should be updated. | ||
| 22 Nov 23:58 2017 |  | Oh cool Snake Expert and Demon Expert didn't trigger for me when I beat those dungeons. GG | ||
| 23 Nov 2:21 2017 | | oh and lion expert too | ||
| 25 Nov 13:36 2017 |  | Is this broken? I am using RetroArch, but I would have thought it would work, as I acquired the bow but no cheevo. | ||
| 1 Dec 0:54 2017 |  | i'm not getting the achievement am i using the wrong rom or something ? | ||
| 16 Jan 4:21 2018 |  | Achievements are not working for me with Rev. B (Gamecube ROM) | ||
| 25 Jan 14:18 2018 |  | For those whose achievements aren't working, make sure your using a compatible emulator like Mesen. Some, like Nestopia, are not compatible with RetroAchievements. | ||
| 6 Apr 8:40 2018 |  | pretty fun set, though i hate dungeon 5 on first quest swordless... blue darknuts without sword or magic wand is simply not fun for me. | ||
| 24 May 6:44 2018 |  | 800 finally | ||
| 29 Jun 8:38 2018 |  | The Swordless Quest is INDEED possible (the 1st Quest) without using glitches. It is indeed a royal god damn pain in the ass though (excuse my language on it). I don't think it should be demoted as it has been done (by me out of all people) | ||
| 29 Jun 8:42 2018 | | If anyone's wondering how to do the 2nd Quest, here's the video for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOkSzPoNPGs&t=11s | ||
| 14 Mar 20:38 2019 |  | This cheevo set was epic! I had a ton of fun grinding through this set, thank you much! | ||
