This game came with my hand-me-down DMG I got for my birthday back in 2001. Thankfully I never made it to the final level back then, pretty sure I would've tossed the game out the window after losing 50+ lives. Looking for what I should play next, recommendations welcome :)

I loved that game. I'd recommend Link's awakening next. It's completely different, of course, but it's another great adaptation of something familiar for the gameboy.

Funny you say that, I took a break from Link's Awakening to play Super Mario Land 2. Trying my hardest not to use a walkthrough but some of the late game dungeons are pretty tough compared to LTTP.

They are, yeah. I don't sweat walkthroughs anymore. I'm about 20 years too old to have enough time to wander around frustrated. I give it a go, and look for a hint when I can't figure it out.

I remember some of those dungeons were ingeniously tricky to figure out but once you do you'll be kicking yourself.
