Well seasoned and well aged

Huh? I managed to finish these games as a kid without a strategy guide at all o.o. You just try things until it works. I've never gotten a game over on them either; they give you Magic Potions like they're candy XD. But you don't take that much damage to use them, even when you're just tanking your way through sometimes. The only game I can think of that made me use Potions/Fairies in Bottles was a Link to the Past. The damage increase in the Dark World was so severe, with the green tunic, that you could lose 3-5 hearts from one single hit easily. So when you're tanking it becomes a nightmare without fairies.
