I am doing it on the GBA, I think I played through some of this before, I think to talk to the Elder you need 3 pendants, I think I got 2 of them, maybe the third. Cant remember.....Minish Cap and LTTP kind of blur together for me, since its been a few years since I played them. Its not that I got to a point that I could not pass, its just that I stopped playing for whatever reason. But I will beat it
