I've just rediscovered my childhood Gameboys, I grew up in the 90s and had an original, a color, an advance and an sp. My game collection has whittled down over the year to the usual suspects, Pokemons, Zelda's, Mario's and some other standards. But I want to dive into some games that 7 year old me would have brushed over. So what's your favorite game?

You are not alone. Any time a thread brings that game up there's someone like us who got stuck there because that's literally the only dungeon in the entire franchise that requires you to defeat enemies in a specific way based on lore that isn't provided to you by the game. Not even in the manual does it say "This is a stalfos, this is a Pol's voice, this is a keese." I found out through an old NES Zelda manual, that does give names and pictures of the enemies - ten years after my initial romp through bottle grotto.

@LoamImprovement Right?? I collected *so* many shells with Bow-wow as a result though. "WOOF *dig* WOOF".
