Adventure of Link: Day 3

After finally getting through Death Mountain and getting the hammer, I made my way over to get the down thrust for my sword.  This makes a world of difference in fighting anything that throws projectiles.  Also makes the game much easier.

I have not made too much progress as of yet.  The last hour of game play was spent in the next castle leveling up.  Thankfully there are several high experience giving enemies right at the beginning.  They respawn every time I leave the castle and come back.  Patience it a virtue, and I have lots of it.  When I get my stats up fairly high, this castle and the next should be a cake walk.
