I don't think it harms the story in any way at all, since you can get further upgrades to the sword later in the game. I think these upgrades and the story that surrounds them, only add to the "legend."

I agree. Besides, that first sword is useless. Link might as well carry a pointed stick.

Update the OP with the second checkpoint.  Also, is it just me or does this:



...sound awfully similar to this:

Last night I started the game and played it for a good 3 hours or so. I ran through the first two dungeons pretty quickly and easily, but I lost a life to the sand worms, and the moon pearl gave me some issues, but once I remembered how to drop on it properly I could call the third dungeon completed. I actually beat the boss before getting the moon pear, which I dont remember doing when I've played the game in the past.

I grabbed the masster sword, and finished the first darkworld dungeon. I didn't stop to get any extras, just plowed through the first four dungeons. I don't plan on going for extras until late in the game when I have most of the items needed to traverse the entire world.

I haven't played the game in 5 or more years, so the cart had to be cleaned and took a couple tries to load up, but my old saves were on there and it worked fine after booting up.

I also beat the third dungeon boss before grabbing the Moon Pearl.  Also didn't know that was possible and don't think I've ever done that before, but it's been at least 10 years since I've played this game, so maybe I have.

I would do the exact opposite regarding hunting down extra items.  Every time I got a new item that would allow me to access new areas, I would explore the entire world again.  Probably not the most efficient use of my time, but the game starts to get pretty difficult around dungeon 4 or 5 in the Dark World, so getting extra heart containers and item upgrades is really helpful.

So played for two hours the other day.  Went to play again and the save was no longer there. :0(.

Headed to the game store I work at to get a new battery and soldered it in. Hopefully this works and I can get going again.

Oh man, sorry to hear that Russ. That must have been a real downer. Hopefully you can get a new battery and catch up with the playthrough.

I added this to the OP, but thought I should clarify in case anyone was wondering:

Note:  For the purposes of the weekly checkpoints, the Dark World dungeons are done in their proper order as they are numbered on the world map.  The dungeons do not necessarily have to be completed in this order.

Just finished the first Dark Dungeon. Thought the dungeon itself was kind of a pain, but the boss was awesome. Just beat him by the skin of my teeth too. Rock N' Roll.

The first Dark World dungeon and corresponding boss is one of my favorites in the game.  I also really like the second dungeon and boss fight too.

Be sure to explore a lot and keep an eye out for heart pieces.  Also keep your bottles stocked with fairies (or potions if you prefer).  This game really just gets harder as you go along, so take every advantage that you can get!
