Adventure is a real pain for swordplay. Go for the Zelda approach.

Not really. Most of the dialogue in the original Zelda was in the form of
"Buy something will ya" and occasionally a hint like "I bet you'd like to
have more bombs". Most of this could be represented either with icons
or in context.

<sniff> I smell vapor. Anyone else smell vapor?
It's that same smell I experienced when I started that demo. Oh well.
(that demo is tough.... I'm almost afraid to draw missiles.)
