In Zelda

do I have to die to save my game or is there another way to save game? I know it's a stupid question, I'm playing through the game again right now and can't remember if that was the only way to save

I'm pretty sure there's a way to do it. I almost think it uses the second controller, but it's been awhile since I've played it. It also might still count as a tally (as in, a number higher like you did die)... not sure though.

Well wait... this almost like an edit but I didn't submit first haha. Anyway, I checked GameFAQs. Yeah, pause the game and press Up+A on controller 2. There you can save, and it DOESN'T count it as if you died. I tested it on my cart also to be sure.

Can't you just press select or something? I coulda swore there was a way to do it easily... and I didn't think it counted against your death count.

By the way Roth, that was a pretty funny post.

No, sorry, but you can't just press Select to save. Select is the pause button. There's really just the method Roth mentioned. If you want to check it yourself, you can read the manual here:

Thanks Roth, I knew there was something. much better than killing myself to save my game all the time (adding death tolls)

gonna try it out. thanks guys

Of course it does. Page 15: "Stopping the game". (O.k., it doesn't say that you have to press "Up", just to press the control pad, but nevertheless it is mentioned.)
