I played the first five maps and was kinda pissed. Not pissed, upset because I wasn't seeing any loot when it came to finding fairies, clothing, etc. Then I found out that there is another mode where you actually find all that. I tried it last night and discovered some fairies, clothing, weapons, etc. I did what Black Wolf did, moved on from easy to normal since it was very easy; I still find it easy, but the problem I had twice with normal was some characters dying. I think Impa couldn't handle Volga, and then I think Shiek also had to flee, causing me to begin from previous saved points. But it's a good game, I like it. And I will surely apply your suggestions, peeps.
