	==The Recorder==		==The Recorder==

	The recorder loops you through all the dungeons you~~'ve gotten~~ the Triforce in, sequentially, according to the direction ~~link~~ is facing. It has an internal counter that starts at 1. ~~Every~~ time you blow the recorder in a place where the whirlwind ~~would~~ appear (that is, ~~in most~~ overworld ~~screens, but not all~~)~~, the counter changes according to the direction Link is facing~~. If Link is facing right ~~or up~~, then the counter goes up ~~one~~. If Link is facing down or left, then the counter goes down ~~one~~.		The recorder loops you through all the dungeons for which you have the Triforce, sequentially, according to the direction Link is facing. It has an internal counter that starts at 1. The counter changes every time you blow the recorder in a place where the whirlwind can appear (that is, any overworld screen where the recorder doesn't spawn a staircase). If Link is facing up or right, then the counter goes up to the next completed dungeon. If Link is facing down or left, then the counter goes down to the previous completed dungeon. The counter wraps around as needed. This counter is only initialized on power-on or reset, and so it does not reset during the run or even if you switch save files.

	~~Note that this~~ counter ~~does~~ not ~~reset during~~ the ~~run~~.		Let's look at some examples:
			* You've completed levels 1, 3, 4, and 5 and haven't yet blown the recorder. If you blow the recorder once facing down, you will be taken to level 5, because the counter started at 1 and then looped around to 5.
			* You then blow the recorder 3 more times while facing down. The counter will go 4, 3, 1, skipping 2 because level 2 is not completed. The whirlwind would then take you to level 1.
			* You then blow the recorder once facing up and then once facing down. The counter goes from 1 to 3 and then 3 to 1, so the whirlwind would take Link to level 1 again. This technique is used in some routes.

	~~For example~~, ~~hold your right foot turnwise to~~ the ~~out. If Link is~~ facing ~~where your toes point cross-wise~~, ~~then~~ the ~~count will be cremented~~.		Note that if you turn on the same frame that you use the recorder, the counter will change as though you were facing the old direction, not the new direction. This is a common source of recorder mistakes. Also, level ordering in the second quest is different, and this affects the order for the recorder. Levels 2 & 3, 4 & 5, and 7 & 8 are swapped, so the counter goes 1, 3, 2, 5, 4, 6, 8, 7.

	~~OK, never mind that~~. ~~Let's say Link has completed dungeons 1~~, ~~3, 4, and 5. If Link blows the whistle once facing down. Link will then be taken to~~ level ~~5, because~~ the ~~count started at one~~, and ~~then looped around to 5.~~

	~~Let's say link then blows~~ the ~~whistle 3 more times while facing down~~. ~~The count will go 4,~~ 3, ~~1, skipping 2 since the player has not completed 2 yet~~, and ~~Link will be taken to 1.~~

	~~So let's go back to the first example. Link just completed Level 5~~, ~~and blows~~ the ~~whistle twice. Once facing down, once facing right. The~~ counter ~~will go from~~ 1 ~~to 5~~, ~~and then back from 5 to 1~~, ~~taking Link to Level 1. This is a technique used in record runs.~~

	~~NOTE: the order of the dungeons is different in the second quest. (~~2/3, 4/5, 7~~/8 swapped?)~~
