@@l..l_ In Castlevaina 1, on my first play-through a few years ago I whipped candles and never backtracked. Therefore, I didn't think they replenished unless you died. Later, during when I did my deathless CV1 run last year, I found out they replenished if you walked back before fighting Drac. But, I finished the run without farming for hearts anyways. Hopefully this clarifies things.
Which is really interesting when you think about it in the long run. It really doesn’t make sense that there Are SO MANY Updated Ports of Castlevania 1 (Castlevania 4 was even an updated Port)! Yet Simon’s Quest never got that Treatment, especially not after the GBA Castlevania Games got remade! You’d think Nintendo and Konami would put money behind making a Remake of that one game to fix those issues!
For me since I played CV1 first, I had a better handle on CV itself when going into 3. If it was the other way around I might think otherwise? Yeah Frank is tough.
