Sunday Longplay Challenge - Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link (NES, BS-X Girl Patch) - 8/1/1 Challenge

Rules of the challenge: Keep Magic and Life at level 1 for the entire game.
This week on a special Challenge edition of Sunday Longplay, let's once again revisit Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link! 4 years ago I did a self-imposed challenge for this game that involved keeping my Attack and Life stats at level 1 for the entire game. Now I'm doing another similar challenge, this time keeping Life and Magic stats at level 1 for the entire game!

With level 1 magic, you really need to conserve your MP and only use it if absolutely necessary. Navigation spells like Jump and Fairy are very expensive with level 1 magic, so you don't want to use them unless you absolutely have to to make a high jump or to get across the lava chasm in level 6. This also means you can't use any magic on the way through the Great Palace, because you need every single MP to use Thunder on Thunderbird. You also have to visit the Maze Palace twice because you won't have enough MP to use Reflect on Carock until you complete the rest of the game. Combine that with a level 1 Life stat, and both of your bars can easily be chewed through in seconds if you aren't careful. At least, since you're required to upgrade one stat if you can afford all three, your level 8 Attack stat will mean most enemies will die as easily as you do.

I'm also changing things up with this challenge by using a sprite hack somebody made that replaces Link with an 8-bit version of the female mascot character for the Broadcast Satellaview Super Famicom add-on. The game itself remains unchanged, but you're simply playing as a different character.
