Zelda: Parallel Worlds Saves or just save states?

I'm curious.  I've been trying to play Zelda: Parallel Worlds on my Powerpak and each time I die, no matter what I do select, it never seems to save my time or items, hearts, etc.  

Granted, I haven't even retrieved my sword yet, but have retrieved a full heart, some bombs and the lantern.  Does the game actually save stuff once I've retrieved my sword?  Or was this game really meant for emulators (save states)?

This is very frustrating indeed. It does save, but it doesn't start saving until AFTER you get to the church. Why the game creators made it that difficult, I have no idea.

Watch a youtube video and practice. The first dungeon is rediculous and annoying. When you get your sword, you are only about 1/3 done with the first dungeon.

Best of luck, it's a fun game other than that first level.

If anyone is LOOKING for certain repro/homebrews, I have a running repro company thread going as well as a lot of extras myself which include Limited Editions as well.  I'm also free to help answer questions and point people in the right direction so never hesitate to ask!  Here is the current list of repro companies.  Please let me know if I need to update it:

Thanks for the input. I'll guess I try it again when I haven't been drinking copious amounts of beers, heh

Tried the Guardhouse a few more times, still couldn't get to my sword without dying. Put in the infinite life cheat; this game needs it. Still died in Nayru's Bay (no bombs to figure out where the invisible floor tiles were).

This hack is pretty amazing. My only gripe is the slowdown due to too many enemies on a lot of the overworld screens.

This is a game that I really wouldn't blame anyone for using an infinite life cheat, lol.
