LATEST UPDATE (04-03-10)
Re-enabled the Z3-styled boomerang/hookshot, because without that enabled, you can't reflect magic with the fire boomerang! Oops!

----------

Information:
This quest was inspired by a 3-hour quest concept by Lithium, but was primarily inspired by Rambly's "I Hate Mayonnaise". Sadly, I ended up taking about 30-40 hours to create it because I'm slow, and I get sidetracked a lot. Not to mention I actually bothered with detail. Ironically, I used 1.90-style mountains, and the quest is only about two hours long. It's meant to be a joke quest.

I repeat, it's meant to be a joke quest.

The game is named after an inflammation-reducing pill, which I happened to have a container of on my desk at the time. Being the first thing I saw when trying to think of a name, that's what I decided to go with.

It's about average difficulty, but can sort of spike in the last dungeon.

NOTE: Much like Rambly's quest, this quest also contains "mild" language, albeit more "extreme" than his (medium language, I suppose). I'd also like to note that anything that may seem like bigotry does not correlate to how I personally feel. I don't think there's anything outright bad in terms of dialogue, but I thought I'd throw that out there just in case.

Plot:
The story goes... uh. ...
Link's having a really bad dream; The Ghost of Christmas Future kidnaps Zelda and takes his Lon Lon Milk. Link's pretty angry.
...
...yeah.

The quest is more valid of a nightmare than Link's Nightmare ever even tried to be. And it wasn't even intentional.

Important Notes:
- Each and every dungeon has two secret rooms (sans the item dungeon, which contains one). Both of these rooms are 10-rupee rooms and one that contains an optional item, respectively. There are no blatant hints on-screen as how to obtain these, but that's not an issue if you keep this in mind: The secret rooms in conjunction with the displayed map make the dungeon shape symmetrical. All of these items are completely optional, but they will make the game much easier. And for clarification, there is a secret room in the optional dungeon before the final, but the rule of symmetry does not apply in this case.
- There are a total of 12 hearts in this quest.
- Every B-button item slot can be filled. There is no blue candle, wooden sword, or regular arrows.
Equipment obtainable includes: Magic book, blue/red/gold rings, power bracelet, mirror shield, and flippers. You begin with the small wallet and the "letter".
- The level 1 cheat is hidden in the quest. Don't ask me for it.
- And for those whom didn't know already, if the quest author has enabled the Z3-styled boomerang/hookshot rule, the magic boomerang blocks magic, and the fire boomerang reflects it. To tell if this rule is enabled, items will be "ulled" back to you when they make contact with the boomerang or hookshot. If they're instantly acquired, the rule is off. The rule is enabled in this quest. Please don't forget it!

Credits:
Thanks go out to Bloodstar, Rambly, Dustminion, Lithium, and Angeal for beta-testing the quest. Additional thanks to Bloodstar for some ideas in the quest.

Thanks to Wild Bill/Mr. Z for some things I pulled from the Pure set, Warlock for his Newfirst sprite package, and the sequencers of VGMusic and Microsoft for the music used in the quest.

With that messy description aside, I hope you enjoy the "best" worst quest I've ever made.
Remember, it's not a totally serious creation.

This quest was a nice short and fun quest. The music in it was great, some of the dungeons designs were unique, and it was rather funny in several parts. Good job.

It has a lower rating than I Hate Mayonnaise yet it's an infinitely better quest. What.

It's like I Hate Mayonnaise if it were actually fun and funnier.

I'll just note here that the only dungeon screenshot available is that of level 1. The rest are somewhat... well, "creative". I'd rather people be surprised when they get to them.

Very reminiscent of the LTTD series, yet it feels much-improved. Humor was quite present, and I couldn't stop laughing at the beach... as well as a couple deeper areas.

The design in this quest is quite fun, too... I definitely enjoyed the last level.
