Playthrough 1 (Non-Linked):
-Play the game normally but don't collect any heart containers for the 3 heart run cheev.
-Do the bosses damageless.
-Don't waste time getting rings except the Heart Ring LV 2, Quicksand Ring, and the Red Ring. You need the first one to get around the limited hearts, the second for a boss, and the third for strength boost to beat the last 3 bosses quicker.
Playthrough 2 (Linked):
-Go through the game, but this time go for the heart containers because you're going to get a secret that gives you a full heart container, other secrets that give you more items to use, and overall to not worry about backtracking.
-Do the bosses damageless. But they should be easier now that you have a power boost.
-Get the secrets that appear in the game and use the codes in the Playthrough 1 save. In Playthrough 1, they are mainly used to get the cheevs associated with them and to transfer them back to Playthrough 2. HOWEVER, do not transfer back the two ring secrets you used in Playthrough 1 until you at least collected all the possible rings in a normal Linked-game.
Playthrough 3: (Hero-Secret Unlinked)
-Go through the game without picking up any heart containers.
-No worries about doing bosses damageless as you already did them.
-Don't bother getting rings besides the rings that are useful like Heart Ring LV2.
Playthrough 4: (Hero-Secret Linked)
-Go through the game picking up all heart containers.
-Collect all the rings you can get in the Linked game without using the secrets that can get you rings.
-Find and use all the secrets you find back to playthrough 3 to get all the cheevs and send all the items, minus the rings, back to playthrough 4.
After the playthroughs:
-Use the ring secrets to collect all rings for both games to get the remaining two cheevs.
So for those who started with Seasons first, you will have to do this in Playthrough 4. For those with Ages, playthrough 2.
1. You will HAVE to tackle both Ages and Seasons if you want to master either. Due to the nature of the games, you also need to play both games twice (once vanilla, once linked). Thatโs 4 total playthroughs.
2. Use the Guide in the Sidebar. It is well laid out and goes in order between both games. Do not deviate and keep an eye on the missables.
3. From early on, hoard Gasha seeds and donโt plant them willy-nilly any patch you come across. I learned late that Soft Soil patches come in different levels of rarity, and late game when they cost 300 rupees a pop, youโll wish you didnโt plant so many on Level 1-2 soil spots for the same low-tier rings.
4. Reference multiple charts for information on where preset rings are, amongst other things, on the Zeldaโs Dungeon site. I found it to be a very cleanly laid out source to tell you where to go hunting for rings and other things.
5. For the no-hit bosses playthrough, utilize the Power Rings. What level you can use for them will vary depending on which game youโre playing, but basically these rings increase your swordโs power in exchange for damage taken. Since you canโt get hit regardless, youโre basically getting a powered up sword for free and hopefully reducing the length of the battles.
6. SAVE, SAVE, SAVE. The game does not autosave, and Iโve absolutely just soft reset my emulator on impulse when I took damage from no-hit boss attempts, only to find I hadnโt saved since several dungeons back. You can literally lose HOURS like this. Save often. You can also utilize save/reload just before minigames and harvesting nuts to get the results you want.
Any other achievement-specific tips for hard ones, Iโll leave on the appropriate achievement pages.
Have fun!
As for the set, please follow the guide. It's really clear and shows you exactly when you can get what achievement. Also do not be like me and forget to link your 2nd game to the 3rd with the hero password. I had to download a password generator to get all rings.....
As for the 100 ring/all non password rings. If you buy out the secret shop (both in seasons and ages) it changes into a minigame where you have to guess the correct chest multiple times in a row. With savestates this is by far the fastest way of getting rings. Also it's a great way of guaranteeing rings of class 1, 2 or 3. Clearing 3 chests always gives you a class 1 ring, clearing 4 always gives a class 2 and clearing 5 always give a class 3. I recommend getting the class 4-5 rings from gasha trees (save state/reload) and then using this minigame to get all the class 1-3 rings while also working on the 100 rings achivement.
All in all an amazing set. I had a blast! Thanks a lot!
I had played Seasons long time before and both game(s) on NSO - Switch somewhat recently, but never 100% it because of all the rings.
I would never master it, if it wasn't for the Guide and all comments from specific cheevos.
This is why RA is such a fantastic community, Thank ya all..and to the cheevo-developers as well, truly solid set for this classic Zelda odyssey.
Even if the game(s) has it flaws I still think this is one of the best..if not the best 2D-Zelda game IMO, Both games has a goodiebag of so many Zelda-references released up to this point and it feels so nice to tackle this back-to-back and make progress on this epic adventure.
- Definitely try to follow the guide linked above for the structure of your playthroughs.
- In your third playthrough, which should just be the game you just finished linked but now in hero's secret mode, you're allowed to transfer all of your rings from the previous playthroughs to this file, as there's no achievements in this run of the game tied to rings. Might as well have your full arsenal to demolish this playthrough as it's basically just a 3 (4) heart speedrun. Having the Red Ring as soon as you can access the ring shop for the first time is beautiful. Just be sure to not transfer your rings to your 4th playthrough until after you've earned the respective diamond/pearl ring achievement first.
- In regard to ring collecting on your 2nd and 4th playthrough; do not bother with gatcha seeds for tiers 1-2 rings. Save these for the trees that contain the 3-5 tiers. Play through the game normally collecting as many random rings as you can (from maple, and rewards) up until the final boss. Also be sure to collect the rings that are locked to specific locations. Then after that, make sure you buy out the inventory for the secret shop, up until the shop guy opens his chest game. This is the game where you will grind for your remaining tier 1-3 rings. After 3 wins, you must stop here for a tier 1 ring. After 4 wins, stop for a tier 2 ring. Tier 3 will be given for 5 wins. This game is also good for grinding the 100 appraisals ring, and getting rupees for this game mostly from digging will contribute to your 10,000 rupees ring. For the tier 4-5 rings, save before obtaining the gatcha nut, then grab it. Redeem the ring and if it's new, keep it. Otherwise reset. After you got everything you need from the tier 3-5 trees, feel free to use any remaining seeds on tier 1-2 trees.
- Start + Select brings up the save menu. Start + Select + A + B for a soft reset.
Completing the ring 64 ring achievement was a breeze, game was really nice to me, saved every gasha seed and used it between Crescent Island (3-5) and Lynna Village (1-2) while also farming Maple in the middle (2-3) and nothing else.
Best spot for monster farming is Veran's Tower first floor, snakes and slimes both make 10 monsters, 4 runs and you have a fully grown seed.
Obtained red joy ring early, best dig spot for me was the Cemetery from the first dungeon.
Now, let's do some badges!
