I'm not in a thoughtful enough state to give a really interesting answer, so I'll just mention that this thread reminds me that I need to finish LttP and download LoZ sometime.

I'm up to Ganon's dungeon in LttP and I have the silver arrows I need to pwn him, it's just that there's one item I'm missing and a cave that I can't figure out how to get into. Since I've done everything else so far without any guide, that cave and my empty inventory slot is burning a hole in my soul that makes me not want to finish the game until I figure it out.

I need to just swallow my OCD, move on, kill Ganon and save the world already. Oh, and tease Khuutra for using maps. I remember bombing every wall and burning every bush in search of secrets in that game. I had so much free time back then.

If you'e missing anything it's probably either the Cane of Byrna or the Magic Cape. Or the Cane of Somaria I guess?

And hey! The first time I played tthat game I made my map. I missed out on a few hearts, but that playthrough was all me!

Ditto my LttP playthroughs. No need to even make a map in that one, much less reference one.

Nope, I've got all those. The item I'm missing is in the center of the inventory, right between the Icerod and Ether magic. No big deal. I feel pretty good about everything else I tracked down and I obviously don't really need it.

And a home made crutch is still a crutch. Also, you're easy to tease.
