The Legend Of Zelda Parallel Worlds Walkthrough -
Over the next three hours, the walkthrough became less technical and more… personal. It didn't tell him to bomb the fifth wall in Dungeon 7. It told him: "Your sister's favorite game was this one. She never got past the Ice Temple. Remember the sound of the controller hitting the carpet?"
"PRESS START TO CONTINUE. PRESS SELECT TO FORGIVE."
Leo laughed. Standard creepypasta fluff. He ignored it, following the traditional North, West, South, West pattern from the original Link to the Past . He emerged not in the Master Sword's grove, but in a grey, raining version of Kakariko Village. The Cuccos were black. Their eyes were red dots.
