Secret of Mana/Walkthrough

Prologue
After falling from the bridge, you will head south and across the bridge. Get the mana sword, and use it to cut through the plants to the right.

Your main enemies in the following areas are Rabbites, but they only inflict minimal damage and shouldn't kill you. In the event that they overpower you for some reason, you will be revived at where you collected the Mana sword.

Once you reach the village, speak with the elder in the north-east corner to advance the plot.
