Answers to The Great Retro Quiz! .04
Chad Concelmo | 1:15 PM on 10.04.2007 19 comments


Thanks to A New Challenger and Cacticus for finding the mistake in question #12. Technically, yes, the compass shows you the location of the triforce, but the triforce room is always adjacent to the boss room, so answer ”c” is the closest to being correct. Because of the mix-up, though, I accepted “aandc,” since they are both pretty close.

Regardless of the confusion, though, there was a 7-way tie this week! Wow! All with perfect scores of 20 were: that1dood, SLiFE, nebyoolae, Cacticus, van, Jasongame, and anchorman84. Congratulations to all of you, seriously … you have my undying Zelda respect.

But, sadly, there can only be one winner. After picking a name out a hat, that winner is … *drum roll* … nebyoolae! I am throwing streamers and confetti in the air right now. It is all very dramatic. Just send me your shipping information to chad@destructoid.com and your prize will be sent out right away.

To all the rest: great job. I think everyone got a badge on this one. I am so proud.

Check out the answers below to see how you did:



1. Apparently it is dangerous to go alone. What should you take?
a. [picture of shield]
b. [picture of wooden sword]
c. [picture of bow and arrow]
d. [picture of rupee]
The old man at the beginning of the game offers Link his wooden sword to aid him on his quest.

2. On the title screen of The Legend of Zelda, which of the below is shown?
a. A giant tree
b. A rainbow
c. A castle
d. A waterfall

3. Think back and remember the first playable screen (the one you start on). How many different exits off the screen are there?
a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
Including the cave, there are four different ways to exit the opening screen.

4. You witnessed a tektite stealing an old lady’s purse. When brought in to the police station to view a criminal lineup, which of the below “usual suspects” would you choose?
a. [picture of tektite]
b. [picture of octorok]
c. [picture of leever]
d. [picture of moblin]

5. What color hair does the healing fairy have?
a. Blonde
b. Black
c. Brown
d. Red

6. Link sells his magical rod so he can afford to buy a present for Zelda on her birthday. Which of the below items is now useless to him?
a. [picture of red ring]
b. [picture of blue ring]
c. [picture of bracelet]
d. [picture of magic book]
The magic book upgrades your magical rod, so, without the rod, the book is useless.

7. In what area is the final dungeon located?
a. Death Mountain
b. Lake Hylia
c. The cemetery
d. Lost Woods
Spectacle Rock, to be exact.

Quick, fill in the missing HUD elements:
8. Image of a key (b.)
9. Image of a rupee (a.)
10. Image of a bomb (c.)

11. How many different swords can Link obtain during the game?
a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4

12. Yes, you just found a compass in one of the dungeons! You can now see …
a. … where all the treasures are located.
b. … which walls can be bombed.
c. … the location of the boss.
d. … the life meters of all your enemies.
I fail.

Match the below enemies with the phobia they most likely suffer from:
13. Atomosophobia (fear of explosions) (b.)
14. Melophobia (fear of loud music) (a.)
15. Aichmophobia (fear of pointed objects) (c.)
In the order they appear in the pictures: Digdogger breaks apart when you play the flute, Dodongo is killed with bombs, and Ganon must be destroyed with a silver arrow.

16. You have been captured by a Like Like. After escaping, what store would you need to visit first thing in the morning?
a. Rupees ‘R Us
b. Swords ‘R Us
c. Shields ‘R Us
d. Bombs ‘R Us
Like Likes are the notorious creatures that eat your shield once they capture you.

17. It’s been a hard day and you really want to recharge some energy. Which of these will not replenish at least one of your hearts?
a. [picture of red potion]
b. [picture of blue potion]
c. [picture of heart]
d. [picture of meat]

18. When starting a new game, what name can be entered to immediately skip to the famed “Second Quest?”
a. ZELDA
b. TRIFORCE
c. LINK
d. GANON

19. Ridiculously easy question of the week! What color was the cartridge for most of the original NES Zelda games?
a. Bronze
b. Silver
c. Gold
d. Blue

20. Ridiculously hard question of the week! How many notes play during the “secret found” jingle in the original Legend of Zelda?
a. 6
b. 8
c. 10
d. 12
The very famous sound of chimes plays eight times in the original game.

Check back next week for quiz #5!
