Someone pasted me this, I don't know the source:
- "[[green:text]] (works for pink, gray, purple, blue, teal, gold, cinnamon, forestgreen, white, red, and evil.)"
I think I fixed the code. If someone sees something apparently wrong, tell me.

It looks fine.
And it's specific to the forum: The forum color tags are interpreted, but ignored, on the wiki pages, which still support the old tags.

I love that this game has so many shout outs to Nintendo's other franchises.

Whoa, new chapter!
Since the only majoritary request is to go to Sale's before getting into this mysteriously mysterious forest, that's what I'll do.
I'm putting this before the chapter so I don't break the flow. It's also fishing time:
 |  |  |
Let's fish a little bit, too:
This minigame is bullshit. The fee for playing is, like the crane one, 10 rupees. You get prizes for the fishes you get, but...
The fisherman gives you 5 rupees for the small ones (runts). You see the problem? There are three runts and two lunkers, you get 20 rupees for each lunker, but it's nearly impossible (if possible at all, I can't quite remember) to get a lunker without getting at least one runt first. If you're inexperienced, you're going to fish runts nonstop before getting one lunker, and, at that point, you'll make a grand total of 15 rupees after reading the minigame instructions once each time you cast a line; moving the hook, slooowly, towards the fishes and some minutes of mashing a button to reel the line. It's not the best of the businesses, trust me.
Anyway, back to the fishing game, I came here for something one of the fishes has:

Chapter 3: The mystery of the Mysterious Woods
As the Owl told me the first time I met him, he was waiting for me at the entrance of the woods.
 |  |  |
 |  |  |
 |  |
 |  |  |
 |  |
Why do I have the feeling that I'm going to become a deadlift
champion at some point?
After going North in a bifurcation I find this guy:
 |  |  |
If I walk north, he starts laughing maniacally:
 |  |
 |  |
So, yeah, I'm lost. Not really, because the map is magical and tells me exactly where I am, but the fact that I'm not where I should be must count for something, I guess.
Going South reveals that yeah, I'm not where I should be, just in case the map was lying to me.
You know, for a game with an awesome chiptune soundtrack, the power up music is quite repetitive and annoying. The powerups themselves are quite good, this one, in fact, is particularly awesome, you'll see why:
 |  |
It doesn't just double the attack power of my sword, it makes mooks hit by it fly away and explode in contact with any object, too (even if I didn't take a screenshot of the damn explosion, it's quite hard). Also, it doubles my walking speed. The change on the sword hits' sound effect is an added bonus, too.
In any case, I'm not going to enter that cave, it's not that I want to make this chapter last longer by following some useless steps that would be unnecessary, it's because I don't want to lose my powerup right now.

More rocks blocking an entrance. This can't be something natural, rocks don't grow near entrances, quite the oppossite, in fact. I guess there's some guy going around and throwing rocks blocking doors or roads just to piss people. And, in this case, people means me.
Don't try to cut off wangs, children, they can electroshock you.
If you look carefully, you will see a fish on that pond, it fires... somethingballs.
This isn't suspicious at all. The holes and the rock don't make it any worse, either.
The witch hums something about toadstools and powder... Now I know the broom lady's
◊ secret. I want instant happiness too, I'll go get that mushroom.
East of the cross-shaped holes with a Piece of Heart in the middle, there's this:
You can't see it because of the unfortunate placement of the text box, but this Manbo's Pond is a mere poodle with some stairs, calling it pond requires a great deal of optimism and praying for a monsoon. Also, behind me there's another fucking rock.
Backtracking, I find the one way I didn't go through: the cave.
 |  |
I feel observed...
The eyes were mere Goddamned Bats, luckily.
 |  |
By the way, there were 50 rupees inside that chest. I forgot to take screenshots of it.
After a passageway ambush by two slimes that came out of the floor, I find... more sliding rocks. And the underground equivalent to unmovable rocks: giant skulls.
 |  |  |
You can equip the toadstool as if it was a weapon, but it's useless
 |  |
Going back to the witch's hut, I found a fairy who healed me and then disappeared. I hadn't tasted the mushroom yet, I swear!
 |  |  |
She starts stirring her pot frenetically, while the music * speeds up. And then hands me some powder sac.
 |  |
WHAT, sprinkling it on this pot makes fire! This shit is strong.
Burn, you unholy abomination!
What... what the fuck is this? GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME IN THIS ISLAND OF MADNESS!!
But that's not the worst part, it talks now.
 |  |
 |  |
 |  |
I need to burn things to regain my sanity.
Look who's there, the jerkass raccoon. He's gonna have his ration of fire, too.
 |  |  |
It seems Tarin had bitten a mushroom and then became a raccoon. If I hadn't seen it, I would think he was too high on something.
With the path clear now, I can go north to find...
 |  |  |
 |  |  |
Well, before advancing any more, I want to buy something. After a little bit of coconut farming, I have enough money for...
 |  |  |
Yeah, the shovel. It's not that I want the shovel as much as I want what comes after you buy it:
You see, for a thing that would break walls, would kill your family and could dig a hole much like a shovel would, I find it hilariously underpriced. It's only 1 rupee each!
Here I am again. I've got a key and won't doubt about using it. More in the next chapter!
As an added bonus: Where's Tarin?

Speaking of expensive items, did anyone actually pay for the bow? I remember farming rupees to buy it the first time I played, but sometime between then and when I lost my save file, I learned how to steal, so I was all "Pay for this? Ha ha NO" on my second playthrough.
Geomancer
You don't need it for quite a while. So I generally have enough rupees to pay for it by the time I need it.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!
Yeah, I stole it on one playthrough just to try out the trick, but I always had enough rupees to afford it and nothing else in particular to spend the rupees on.
I don't like being called a THIEF.
Which makes the fact that it's required for 100% Completion of the photo album in the DX version all the more annoying.

You make sure its the last thing you do then.

Fuck yeah. I though I was the only one who thought Link's Awakening was the best, and it was also the first Zelda game I played.

I just post to say I love you I'm sorry, but I won't be able to update in a while (as you might have noticed). Blame the University.
Sorry again 
.
And there's no yellow
. Is there a list of the available colors?
