You can buy bombs at some shops if you can't get it with the sword — though to be perfectly frank, it might not be the game for you in that case, haha. If you stick with it, you can get him with the sword. Doesn't take many hits. If you get to him with full health, just shoot him.
Uhhh, that's the wrong hint. We are talking about a bush, not a tree, and not at a dead end... There is another secret at an actual tree at an actual dead end. Or were you just making a joke about the old man hints...? Sorry, I'm confused.
No, that's supposed to be the hint for he dungeon. It's "sort of" a dead end, and the fact that these are "bushes" as opposed to "small trees" is a fan invention. All the dead tree mouth entrances aren't "secret" enough to need any hints, you can just walk straight in.
I don't know where you learned that it was specifically for this dungeon, but I never got that impression from the game. May have missed something. Whether it can be forced to fit the hint or not, there are other trees that look more like trees in dead ends that are undoubtedly dead ends, so it is a bad hint if it is a hint at all, I think we can agree.
Regardless, the bush/babytree looks like something that needs to be burned now that I've reviewed it to refresh my memory, so again, I take back my earlier comment that it needs a hint at all. A better hint wouldn't hurt, but anyone with a sense of exploration and a red candle is going to burn that tree eventually. It's not half as bad as that one secret in Second Quest where you have to bomb a random wall while using the ladder over water.

Definitely. That goes for like half the hints in the game.
As for the Second Quest, that's just designed to be mean and unfairly hard. It's meant to take things some steps further.

I'm of the belief that that hint is hinting at the dead end from the very north-east of the overworld map. There are trees there, a dead end, with the secret being the passable mountain wall behind it. The hint says in the tree but I think it's supposed to say by. This source agree with it.
In the first quest, there are only two NPCs not from dungeons to my knowledge who hints where a level is, and in both instances you need to pay them. In the second quest, I've gotten that dead-end hint in the overworld where it is located closer to the passable mountain wall where it is mandatory to go to for meat. But I haven't checked the spot yet where Level 8 in the first quest is to see what it is in the second quest yet. I doubt it's where Level 8 is again, or any level really.
Edited: Just checked. In the second quest, the entrance to Level 8 from the first quest is not burnable. So no, the hint was not for where a level is.
Just buy the red medicine, and whack its head a bunch of times with your sword, pausing to heal when necessary. It's easy.
Ash: Professor Oak, how's your Bulbasaur?
Prof. Oak: Oh, it only hurts when I sit.

Prof. Oak: It's only Chansey if Krabby won't let go. Bye, now.
Ash: I don't think I'm going to call him anymore.

I found some more time for zelda1, so already finished first quest last month.
---------------- All second quest related -----------------
Started second quest some weeks ago. But i put it away because after dungeon3 it got kinda tedious. Had no clue what to do and was annoyed.
Oh well started zelda1 up again today. And guess what ? I finally could find dungeon4 and blazed through until dungeon7. Crazy how some days are just lucky with great flow in gaming! So only finding dungeon8 is left on the to do list. Somehow i always find dungeon9 first (i think i found it after dungeon3 lol). It's a mixed feeling, either the game just went easier in the middle or i got the hang out of the twisted second quest design and find the secrets faster ....
Ps: finding the note for the red medicine was a pain in the ass, only found it after dungeon6 and so now i already got 40 deaths clocked in
Ps2 II: so what are ya doing to celebrate the 25th anniversary ? cant wait for 23. nov. to come hehe ( already finished zelda2 and OoT 3D). Soon there are no zeldas left until skyward sword oO
The dungeon that introduces wizzrobes in second quest was the hardest for me. I don't remember if that was three. I would guess it was later than that.
Ohh, haha, the boss known as the Manhandla. That is seriously its name.
Bomb the crap out of him. If you get him to pass right over a bomb, it could potentially blow all four heads off at once, which is optimal since he can be annoying when he has one head left and starts to move fast.
Sword works as well, of course, but since you're new to the game and have only three hearts, you would be better off using bombs. If you don't have bombs, you can buy them in some shops. Of course, if you are going to return to the overworld to get bombs, you might as well go to level 1 first while you're at it. You'll face an easier boss and gain a heart piece to help in your current troubles.
Even with bombs, Manhandla is not easy for a beginner with only 3 hearts. Exploring the overworld and looking for hearts and other dungeons, then coming back to kill Manhandla later would be your best bet.
The 1st quest 1st dungeon? It's a breeze if you cheap it. In the room before, just refill your hearts to max. Go in, stand in back of room (far left) and just fire off those sword bolts and occasionally move out of the way of the fireballs it spits and it's over really fast.
