[2] Starting with the second dungeon will provide you with a nice supply of bombs and a heart container (an extra hit point represented by hearts). Take out Dodongo with two bombs to the face (for good measure) and a sword swing to the face right after and he should go down easy enough.
After this, you'll grab a secret heart container and make your way to the first sword upgrade. You must have 5 hearts in order to wield the sword. Along the way you'll also be grabbing some secret money stashes. There will be many more money stashes grabbed through the course of the game.
Another rule of thumb is if a boss from one Stage appears in another, you can usually just walk around it or if that doesn't appear to be an option, then you'll be using a bomb on a wall to reveal a hidden area.
[1] After getting your sword upgrade, head to Stage 1 for the Bow and Arrow. Arrows require one rupee per arrow in order to be used.
After this stage, you'll want to buy the candle. It'll pay for itself in no time with all the hidden money stashes you'll find.
[3 ] Stage 3 is next for the raft item. You'll need this to get our next (more useful) important items. Take out Mandragora with some well placed bombs.
[4] Using the raft at a certain green pier will take you to Stage 4, where you'll find the very useful ladder item.
[5] Climb the Mountain (up 4 times). Level 5 has the whistle. Use it to take out the Boss of the dungeon. Afterwards you'll be using the Whistle to get around much easier.
[7] When given a choice between a heart and a potion, you'll want the potion for Ganon later on.
Stage 7 is in the Fairy pond. Be sure to find some meat before going here to bribe the guard with.
Once you're in the lost woods, go UP, LEFT, DOWN, then LEFT and that will take you to the next sword upgrade hidden in the cemetery. The upgrade requires 13 hearts.
[6] Head east from the sword upgrade and climb another mountain to get to Stage 6. Defeat the boss here with your bow and arrows.
[8] You'll need to burn a bush on the lower right side of the map to find Stage 8.
[9] After completing the first 8 stages, go climb the mountain in the center, then head left. You should see two rock formations. Bomb the one on the left to find Stage 9. Pick up the silver arrows here.
Ganon is tricky. He's always invisible, so you have to be quick in spotting where his projectiles are coming from and swing at him, and hit him with the silver arrows. Use a potion if you're low on health.
