Walkthrough:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Crazyswordsman/Part 7

I lost the will to write something witty up here. So let's just get to the meat.

The Meat (aka we're mountain climbing)!
So okay, we left off...somewhere near the Sanctuary I guess. If you're not there, well I suggest going there. Go one screen to the west and go one screen to the north. There are some Guays and Buzzblobs. Also, by now you might have noticed strange creatures that hide under bushes and rocks. I want to talk about them with you, because the Discovery Channel won't. These are called Hoarders. These things hobble around the area releasing Rupees. For every six green ones it spits out, it spits out a red one, but it won't spit out another Rupee until you get the one it already spit out. It can be tough to get because the Hoarders are really bouncy and you'll bounce off them too.

Now as you go north, you'll find a cave blocked by a rock. This is the entrance to Death Mountain, our next destination. There's a sign saying you need the king's permission, but we don't take orders from unelected tyrants. So let's pick up that rock and head inside.

It's dark in here and there are lots of Keese. You also have to watch out for bottomless pits. But just keep heading east and you'll eventually come to....an old man! (surprise, surprise) He'll start talking about old man stuff, but he'll then start following you. You can't move very fast because, well, he's an old man. And because the old men are the REAL heroes in the Zelda games, we'll be listening to everything he says. He'll even tell you which pots have recovery hearts in them! He'll tell you which way to go, too, but the first time he tells you to turn right, keep heading east. He'll direct you into a swarm of Keese if you go south (shows how forgetful and useless he is). When you come to a dead end, follow his advice and go south. He'll mention that he has a daughter who is Link's age, which makes me wonder if he wants to court her for Link. But Link doesn't seem interested in women, which is kinda depressing. But yeah, go south and out.

You're on the slopes of Death Mountain now. But before you go on, the old man will leave and enter a cave. He'll give you a Magic Mirror. He'll tell you when to use it, but I'm gonna keep that secret for now, because I'm like that. He'll then go inside the cave. Follow him inside and talk to him. He can recover your hearts whenever you talk to him. You can either go deeper into the cave or walk outside; both lead to the same place. Inside the cave is a three room maze, but outside you'll have to deal with falling rocks and what I'll consider to be "Goron's Spawn." If you hit these things with your Sword they'll stop for a few seconds but you can never kill them.
