    The line of quests that begins with finding the wrecked raft is entirely possible at the minimum level of 47, up until you have to slay an Ironwood treant in Felwood.  It can be a pain to reach Winterspring, but I did so at 46 with Goblin Rocket Boots without being killed.  It just involves a lot of travel.  But at about 6000 experience a pop, these quests have gotten me 3/4 of the way to 48.  J.D. Collie's crystal quests and a little killing have gotten me the rest.

          actually, part 2.

          link is actualy neither right handed or left. hes actually both. the real reason that link switches hands is in the original game, he always keept his shield towards gannon's mountain as a superstition incase gannon threw some crazy a$$ spell. so link would actually switch hands at all times to keep his shield between him and gannon. though the years that storyling faded sadly.

            I think that's more or less because of the laziness/incapabilities of the game's programmers.  May have just added that to explain it away.  You are talking the one for NES right?

      Linken, in case you can't find him, is inside the tree hollow tree trunk in front of the cave and the flight point, and to the west of Larion the dwarf. 

      In order to get the quest from him, you have to find the raft, which is in the south east part of Un'Goro, in "The Marshlands", on the west-ish bank of the most south-west lake.  If that made any sense.  There's a raft there you get the quest from, then you dive down in the lake to get the bag of stuff, then you bring it to Linken in Marshall's Refuge.

      I believe you have to find a wrecked swamp-boat thingy first. I found it when I first walked into Un'Goro Crater, when you come in from Tanaris and you're off the path into the Crater go west, it's somewhere in those pools (watch the ravasaurs though :) )

            Untrue, if you made it at leat halfway through the game, (Forset Temple), you would have known that Link is actaully Hylian, Not Korkiri.
            Also note that link IS Left Handed. On the Wii version Of TP, they made him right handed, so it would be easier for the majority of players to adust to the motion sensitivity. On the GC version of TP he is left handed.

            Which also explains why he could leave the Forest and not disapear.(Regular Korkiri who would leave the forest for extended periods of time miht vanish.
            ALso you guys missed one, the raft is a reference to LOZ Links Awakening, where he is stranded on an Island and thrown off a raft.

      • 2. Linken's Boomerang -> Link's Boomerang
      • 3. Linken's Sword of Mastery -> Blizzard's take on Link's Master Sword (Notice MASTERy)
      • 4. It's dangerous to go alone -> In the beginning of the game, when you get the wooden sword, the man guarding it says "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!"
      • 5. It's a secret to everybody -> Whenever you find a secret 100 ruby cave, the man guarding it will say "It's a secret to everybody!"

      Fluked into the raft as a lvl 48. I believe it is located in the swamp area. Follow the water ways within,,  you should be able to find it. It is partially submeged, 1/2 on shore, 1/2 in water. Upon inspecting the raft. Go to the center of creek, and dive under. U will find a backpack. Th
      is is what starts the quest. Follow the directions and you'll be fine. At one point, you will drop the sword off in winterspring. The mod is located just as you come riding into winterspring. Not far in. Remember to pick the sword up before going back to tanaris.
      The final mod is a lvl 55 elite. You need to equip the rod you were given, and activate it whenever it is charged for another shot. At lvl 49 now, i gainfully earned the help of a lvl 60 tauren hunter ,, in return 5 gold. He said sure came up, and folks, The boomerang is a novelty, but the sword is great. (compared to what i had, lvl 42 dagger) (linkens is at least lvl 53). Change talents around, work around sword. ya, i'm glad i did it.  Since i don't have a big guild and don't run instances. Anybody have an opinion for offhand?. I'm 51 now. Think i'll buy julies dagger for offhand,, opinions???

        Yea hes Link if you talk to him alot he says different things some relating to Zelda games plus when you get his bag you get a map, compass and Lion Headed Key those are the map, compass and Big Key you need in dungions in Zelda games also when you throw his sword into the pool and it comes out stronger thats taked from the Zelda game A Link to the Past and the Golden Flame that Blazerunner has is a piece of the Triforce if you read what Linken says and the pic is a triangle too and then theres the obvious name and the two weapons you get that are from the Zelda games there is most likely more similarities but you get the point.
