The adventure map is divided by grids. We will designate the rows with letters where Row A is the bottom and Row H is the top. The columns will have numbers starting from 1 from the left and 16 to the right. The starting position is A-8.
The general rule of the grid arrangement so far is that as you progressively go up the rows, the difficulty increases as well. So if ever you're stuck on a grid, try using a different character (unless you're after character-specific Items) or try a different grid. Otherwise, you'll have to train the Characters you need and level them up through normal means or by spending Rupees in the Training Dojo.
For your convenience, the guide will be arranged in order so you can easily find the grid you need assistance with.
