Route to Gannon -- 2nd Quest

The route to Gannon in the second quest is much harder than the first.  Everything is different in the Labyrinths, and a few screens in the overworld have been rearranged.  All the labyrinths except Levels 3 and 8 are hard, and the fastest route through this quest is considerably different.

What I put down should be the route the newbie should take.  The second quest is about three times harder than the first quest on average, and the only major enemy changes are the Bubbles and Stalfos.  There are Red and Blue versions of Bubbles, and the Stalfos throw swords that can only be blocked by the Magical Shield.  The Red Bubble prevent Link from using his sword until he leaves the labyrinth, gets killed, or gets hit by a Blue Bubble.

Levels 1, 2, and 4 are taken from the labyrinth appearance of the first letter of that name.  Though Level 3 is sometimes called the "L" level, the actual labyrinth takes the appearance of a Crescent moon and a star, thus the "Night" name.  Level 5 looks more like an "Z" but Link must have Superior strength and the stepladder to eventually clear it.  Level 6 looks like an combination of an Arrow and a Native American Symbol, thus the weird name.  Levels 7 and 8 have the appearance of a small swirl in their makeup, and Level 9 takes the form of a Moblin head.
