Tips & Tricks =============================================================================== I. Introduction =============================================================================== The year was 1987. The Legend of Zelda makes it to the shores of the United States and people couldn't be happier. Lol, okay, I was only 2 years old on this year, so I don't know how people reacted in specifics. I do know however that since it's debut in America in 1987 (and in Japan in 1986), the Legend of Zelda became one of the BIGGEST gaming names in the history of videogame history. Up there with the Marios, the Sonics, and the Final Fantasies, the Legend of Zelda series is somewhat of a household name now. The following information in this section of the entire walkthrough of the Zelda Collector's Edition, contains all the info you need for the very first game of this extremely popular series. The game starts when the evil Wizard Ganon (or Gannon as it is misprinted on the intro), the holder of the Triforce of Power, kidnaps Princess Zelda, who holds the Triforce of Wisdom. It is believed that whoever gets both Triforces will rule the land of Hyrule. Fearing this would happen, Zelda split that Triforce of Wisdom into 8 shards and hid them throughout Hyrule. She had her most trusted servant, Impa, find a man with the courage to retrieve the 8 pieces of the Triforce and defeat Ganon. Impa found a child named Link, who was skilled with a sword, to find those pieces and rescue Zelda. ...And thus the legend began. =============================================================================== II. Quest 1 Walkthrough =============================================================================== This walkthrough will be detailed and will contain crude maps to make things somewhat easier. Below here is the map of Hyrule. I will only place this map here once, so use this map if you ever get lost. Now to read a map location, go across the map to the letter and then down to the number. For example, the game's starting point is at H-8. Below the Map Legend is the shop lists. Use this to your advantage. During the walkthrough you will find maps of the dungeon. They will have a different Map Legend than this map does.

A Little Hunting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First thing's first, go into the cave right from the start to pick up the Wooden Sword. If I get e-mails about what to do from the very beginning of a 16+ year old game I'm gonna scream. You can easily use the sword with the A button. It's THAT simple. Try to keep your hearts full at ALL times. There will be times later when you'll need real close combat, but for now, the monsters in Hyrule are not immune to your zap. This is the time when you'll want to do a little hunting for both money and the rare Bomb drops. Just wander around fighting Octoroks, Moblins, Tektites, and the like. Remember that you have a shield, and it WILL block rocks and arrows shot at you as long as you DON'T swing your sword as they are coming at you. Keep this in mind at all time. When you have some Bombs, go to L-8 (use the map above). Look at the pathway going upwards. Bomb the wall to the left of it (about two tiles, you should easily be able to count the tiles, since this is an 8-bit game). There will be a door there. Go inside and grab your first Heart Container (or be a loser and grab the Red Medicine, but NEVER do that. Take the Heart Container). Now that you have that piece, go to M-3. There should be a huge rock with a bunch of Tektites jumping around. Kill the tektites and bomb the right side of the rock. Enter the door and grab your 2nd Heart Container! One more item that will be vital to you is the Letter. The Letter can easily be found in O-1. You WILL need this if you want to buy Medicine. Now you are ready to do some damage. Time to find the White Sword. From the big rock you went to find the 2nd Heart Container, go up and left twice and up again. This will bring you to the lake above the waterfall with a Blue Lynel. Be VERY careful around him and enter the cave. If you have 5 Hearts, then you can take the White Sword, which is twice as strong as your Wooden Sword. Now you want some money. You can either fight forever for it or find some places where there are free money for grabs. Remember that you can only hold 255 Rupees at a time. There are three places with real big bucks. To get the first one, go to P-2. The cave here doesn't lead to it, but if you go on the right side of the cave and go straight up, you'll find a secret passage to P-1 and the first set of 100 rupees. Now that you have over 100 Rupees, head to G-7 (one area up and left of the starting point). Enter the cave and buy the Blue Candle for 60 rupees. Now your goal is to get 250 rupees! From the cave you got the Blue Candle in, go right 4 screens until you come to an area that is split down the middle by a row of bushes. Use the Blue Candle and burn the 3rd bush from the top of the row down the middle to reveal a stairwell to another 100 rupees. Once you have that, go up one screen and left. Kill the Moblins and burn the lower right-hand corner bush in the series of 8 in the middle. This will lead to 30 rupees. Hopefully by now you'll have enough Rupees. If you don't, use the map above to find areas with 10 or 30 Rupees each. Don't go to the one in L-7 yet (you might need that in a bit). Remember that you may have to bomb or burn something in order to find the cave. Once you have 250 Rupees, go to E-4. Kill the Leevers and push on the middle-upper Armos to bring it to live and reveal a shop. Here you want to buy the Blue Ring. BUY IT NOW!!! This will halve all damage done to you. VERY handy. Now there is only two things left to do before you go to level 1. There is still one more Heart Container that you can get. At H-5 there is an area that borders the lake and has a row of bushes at the bottom. Burn the 5th bush from the right to reveal the cave with the 3rd Heart Container. The final thing to do is to get the Arrow while you're here. Go to L-7 and kill the monsters. Take the Blue Candle. The cave under the 3rd bush from the left on the center clump of bushes (the bottom set). Take the 100 rupees from there. Now from that screen, go left 2 screens, up 2, and right 1 screen. Kill the Tektites and enter the shop. Buy the Arrow for 80 rupees. You don't have the Bow yet, but you'll get it soon. Before moving on, make sure you have the following: White Sword Arrow Bombs Letter Blue Candle Blue Ring 6 Hearts One could get the Power Bracelet right around now, but I'll explain how to get that later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- b. Level 1: The Eagle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 1 can easily be found at H-4.

Once you enter the dungeon, exit and enter again. The locked door up top will be open. The secret I use in this game is to NOT go into rooms that you don't need to go into. Stock as many keys as you can without having to use them unless you need to. Remember that Keys can be bought in the Shop for 80 or 100 rupees, but for 20 rupees you can buy FOUR bombs. I don't know how many times I've been stuck in this game because I ran out of keys before I could get the Magic Key. So hold onto what keys you have, even if it means you'll end up losing them later. Your starting point is at C-6. Go to the rooms to the left and right to grab keys. Return to C-6 and go up twice. Grab the key from that room and go left. Kill the Keese and grab the Compass. Return to the last room and bomb the upper wall (this is how you save your keys, by finding walls to bomb). Grab the Map and go up. Kill the Stalfos for the key and unlock the upper door. Kill the Goriyas there to get another key. Open the door to the left. Avoid the moving spike traps and push the left most block up or down to open the path to the stairs. Go down and grab the Bow! You can now use that item, but remember that when you shoot an arrow, you lose 1 rupee. Exit back. Go back to the room where you got the Compass. Bomb the upper wall to save yourself a Key. Kill the monsters to obtain the Boomerang. This item is handy to have as it can stun some enemies. Go right. Stay AWAY from the walls, but quickly grab the key. Kill the Wallmasters if you wish, but unlock the upper door and face your first boss, Aquamentus. -Aquamentus- Aquamentus is extremely easy. If your life is full, head to the far left wall and just shoot at his head with your sword. Else just go in for the kill and watch out for his magic. Reward yourself with a heart, then go right to get the first piece of the Triforce. Useless Rooms: A-3, B-3, B-4 Items Gained: Bow, Boomerang Total Keys: 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- c. Level 2: The Moon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 2 can be found at M-4. The best way to get there is to go to the Huge Rock where you got the Heart Container, then go right 1 screen, down 2, left 1, and up 1 screen. A B C D Map ----- ----- ## 1 | T >< H | ## ----- --v-- ## --^-- ----- ## 2 | X BB ! | ## --v-- --v-- ## --^-- --^-- #### 3 | LL R | ## --v-- --B-- --^-- --B-- 4 | s K >< X | --v-- --B-- --^-- --B-- 5 | K >< I | --v-- --B-- --^-- --B-- 6 | LL M | --v-- --B-- ----- ----- --^-- --B-- 7 | K >< >< LL C | ----- --v-- --v-- ----- --^-- --^-- | >< K | --E-- ----- Map Legend: ^v<>- Unlocked Doors !- Information E- Entrance 1-9- Stairs B- Bombable Walls C- Compass F- False Walls H- Heart/Boss I- Item K- Key L- Locked Door M- Map R- Money T- Triforce X- Bombs D- Dark Room S- Big Monster G- Hungry Monster Here is where you can save yourself some Keys as well. From the entrance go up. Kill the Ropes and go left. Kill the Ropes again and grab the key. Now go right 2 rooms and down one. Grab the Key there and go up 3 rooms, killing the Goriyas and Ropes (the room with the Ropes has the Key). Now go right. Kill the Blue Goriyas and grab the Magical Boomerang! This version will replace the normal Boomerang and can fly across the entire room. Bomb the lower wall to the next room. Grab the Map and bomb the lower wall again to the room with the Compass. Go up two rooms and bomb the upper wall this time. There are Bombs in this room, but don't grab them yet unless you have 4 Bombs or less (here's a tip: never grab the Bombs that are set in rooms unless you have room for all 4 of them, else you'll be wasting some.) Go left and kill the Moldorms for another Key. Go back right and bomb the upper wall (grab the bombs if you can). Kill the Gels to get 5 Rupees. Go up, listen to the old man, then bomb the left wall. Kill the Goriyas to open the door. Ignore the bombs for now unless you can use them. Go up. -Dodongo- Dodongo is tricky to kill, since he can only be defeated by Bombs. Get close to it and set a bomb right in front of his walking path (make sure he walks onto the bomb, because he'll eat it. Wait for his "gut" to explode and when he makes a move again, set another bomb. When he eats it, he'll die. Grab the Heart Container and go back and grab any bombs you left behind. Go left from here to grab the Triforce Piece. If you did things right here, you shouldn't have used a single key. Useless Rooms: C-3 Items Gained: Magical Boomerang Total Keys: 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- d. Level 3: The Manji ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 3 can be found at E-8. Not too hard to find.

From the entrance go left. Kill the Zols and grab the Key. Go up two rooms until you see the Darknuts. You can't kill them from the front, you have to go to the sides of them and attack. There are bombs in this room, but don't take them yet. Go left. Grab the Compass and unlock the door to your left. Kill the Darknuts to open the door going down. Go down and take the stairs, avoiding the Darknuts if you can. Grab the Raft in the basement, then head back up. If you want some bombs, kill the Darknuts now. Else go up two rooms and grab the Key. Make your way back to C-4. Go up and kill the Zols to get a Key. Don't bother unlocking any of the doors. Go back down and bomb the wall to the right. Enter the room and kill the Darknuts. Go up and grab the Map. Now bomb the wall to the right. This will take you to the boss, Manhandla. -Manhandla- Manhandla is pretty tough. It has 4 hands and you have to take out each one. But as each one dies, Manhandla gets faster. It takes two stabs with the White Sword to kill one head. However, there is a super easy way to kill this beast. Set a bomb near it's center while it has all 4 heads. When the bomb explodes, it will take out all of its heads and kill it (hopefully). Whatever is left just stab away with if the bomb doesn't kill it. Take the Heart Container and go back and get your bombs if you need to fill up on them. Grab the Triforce in the next room up to end this level. Useless Rooms: B-1, C-1, C-2, B-3, E-4 Items Gained: Raft Total Keys: 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- e. Level 4: The Snake ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that you have the Raft, go to F-6 and walk onto the plank going up. Link will use the Raft to get him to Level 4. Note that it is possible to get another Heart Container right now, but you won't need it on this level. A B C D Map ----- ----- ----- ----- #### 1 | !

From the entrance go left and grab the Key, then go back and up. Kill the Vires and unlock the door to the left to get the Compass in the dark room. Go back left and up. Take the Key and go left. Light up the room, kill the monsters, then go up again. Light up again and grab the Key. Go up one more time. Now you'll kinda be forced to go one way. A small water hole stops you from going up. Light up the room, kill what you can, then unlock the door to the right. Kill all of the Vires and Keese and go right. Take out the Like Likes and Zols now. Push the left block to reveal a stairway to the Ladder! Grab it! Go back upstairs. Go left two screens (don't unlock the door going up in the middle room). You will now know that with the Ladder you can cross bodies of water. Now you can get across the water that stopped you before. Go up and unlock the door. Go left and light up the room. Grab the Map and bomb the upper wall. This room "doesn't exist", but it's full of rupees for you to grab (if you don't need it, don't grab it, save it for when you do) (and just so you know, this "invisible" room is at B-2). From the room with all the rupees, bomb the upper wall and grab the Key. Go back down and bomb the left wall. Kill the Vires and push the left block. Go right to the boss, Gleeok. -Gleeok- Gleeok is a tough dragon to kill. This version is easier since it only has two heads, but future versions will be tougher. Hopefully your hearts are full. If they are, stand back and zap at its heads. Else go in and start stabbing away, watching out for its magic. When a head is dead, it will break away and start flying, trying to hit you with itself and magic. Take out the 2nd head to get the Heart Container and the 4th Piece of the Triforce! Useless Rooms: A-1, C-1, A-2 Items Gained: Ladder Total Keys: 11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- f. A little More Hunting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You've now completed 1/2 of the Triforce of Wisdom. Now it's time to stop and get some things together. From Level 4, take the raft back down. Go down one more screen then right. Enter the cave and show the woman inside the Letter. Now you can buy some Medicine. ALWAYS buy the Red Medicine, and only buy when you have none. The Red Medicine can be used to restore your life completely two times, and it doesn't even cost twice as much as the Blue Medicine. Now that you have that, make your way ALL the way to the right side of Hyrule. At P-6 are two platforms, one having a Heart Container. Use the Ladder to cross the platforms to get the Heart Container. Now from there go up two screens and take the Raft upwards to a cave with the final Heart Container in Hyrule (but not the ones in the Underworld). Now with 12 Heart Containers, you are ready to get the Magic Sword, which is twice as powerful as the White Sword. Before you do that though, take the raft back to land and start making your way left, up, and left some more (past the desert and to one screen directly above Level 1. Go up to H-2 and use the Ladder to cross the river to the other side. Go left 2 screens, down 1, and left one. You should see an area with no monsters and 10 Armos Statues (this is at E-3). Move the upper-right Armos to receive the Power Bracelet. Now that you have it, you can find 4 special warp zones and warp to different places all over Hyrule (look for the T on the overworld map above). From the area with the Power Bracelet, go left 1 screen, down 1 screen, and right until you are at the graveyard. Go up to B-3. There should be a 4x3 area of Gravestones. Move the 3rd one from the left on the middle row upwards to reveal a stairwell to the Magic Sword. With 12 Hearts, you can grab the sword. Now you have the POWER! Two more things to do. Time to get the Magic Shield and Enemy Bait. At G-5 there is a shop under the corner bush (burn it) that sells Magic Shields for 90 rupees. Grab one. Also, Enemy Bait is best bought at E-4 (where you bought the Blue Ring). It is 60 rupees there. Buy it. Now just fight around until you get a little over 100 rupees. You'll need it. By now you should have the following: Magical Boomerang Bombs Bow & Arrow Blue Candle Red Medicine Enemy Bait Blue Ring Raft Ladder Magic Sword Magical Shield Power Bracelet 11 Keys 100+ Rupees 12 Hearts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- g. Level 5: The Lizard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 5 is a bit tricky to get to. You have to go to L-2 (near where you got the White Sword). From L-2, go up. You'll find you're still in the same spot. Go up again, then again, a total of 4 times. You will now finally reach Level 5.

If you see arrows pointing in the same direction for doors, that means that it is only a one way door. (for example, if you see >> instead of ><, it means you can only use that door going right, but not back left. The level isn't too hard, but there are a couple of things you have to do before fighting the boss. Go right and grab the Key by killing the Pol Voices with Arrows. Go back to the entrance then up. Kill the Gibdos in the dark room for a Key. Bomb the wall to your left. Kill the Gibdos for more bombs, then bomb the wall to the left. Kill the Blue Darknuts (two shots with your Magic Sword) and push the left block up or down to take the stairs. The stairs will lead you to C-1 (follow the numbers on the map). Unlock the door at the bottom. Grab the key and bomb the wall to the right. If you have 100 Rupees on you (and you had better), you can upgrade your bomb capacity to 12 Bombs! Make sure you get this now, as it will fill up your bombs as well! Go back to the stairs, but don't go down them yet. Unlock the door to the left and kill the Blue Darknuts. Push the block and go down the stairs to get the Recorder. Make your way back to C-7. Go up and you will see 3 Dodongos this time. Use the same strategy you used in Level 3 and you shouldn't have any problem killing them, especially with 12 bombs. Grab the bombs after you kill them. Go left and kill the Zols to get your key. Go back right and unlock the door going up to get the Map, then go back down. You should be back at C-6. Go right to the dark room and kill the Zols for 5 rupees. Go up and kill the Gibdos for the Key. Go up again and kill the Darknuts for the Compass. Go up one more and grab the Key. Unlock the door to the left. Kill the Gibdos and grab the next key. Keep going left. Kill the Pol Voices and unlock the left door to meet the boss, Digdogger! -Digdogger- Got the Recorder? Use it now! That is the only way to beat him. Once you use it, Digdogger will shrink. Now it's easy pickings. Hit him twice with your Magic Sword and he'll die, leaving the Heart Container. Go up and grab the Piece of the Triforce. Useless Rooms: A-4, D-7 Items Gained: Recorder Total Keys: 13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- h. Level 6: The Dragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 down, 3 to go. The easiest way to get to Level 6 is to use a Warp Zone and warp to D-3. Then go down, left, and up to reach Level 6.

Make sure you have the Magical Shield. From the entrance, go right. Kill the Wizzrobes (stay clear of their magic) and grab the Key. Go left two rooms and up one. Grab the Compass and go up. Kill the Keese to reveal the Key and open the door. Go up until you reach A-4. Now the fun really begins. The Wizzrobes will now be both Blue and Orange, but the Blue Ones are very deadly as they can move. Try to kill them from the side and stay clear of their magic. Also don't let the Like Likes start to eat you, else you'll lose your Magical Shield. Push the left block to continue. Go up and avoid the Wizzrobes if you can (because it takes 3 hits to kill them with your Magic Sword). Bomb the wall to your right. Take the Key and unlock the door going up. Grab the Map after killing the monsters and go right. Grab the Key and go up. Kill the Zols and Like Likes and bomb the wall to the left. Kill the Wizzrobes and push the left block to reveal a stairway to the Magic Wand. This item will be handy to have when you don't have full life and wish to attack from afar. It does about as much damage as the White Sword, but can still be handy. Make your way back to B-3. Go down into the dark room. Kill the Vires with your Magic Sword (any other attack will cause it to split into two Keese). Go right. Kill the monsters and push the block to reveal the stairs. Take them to F-2. Once at F-2, kill the Like Likes and Zols. Go down and kill the Vires to get the Key. Go left. Ignore the Wizzrobes if you can. Equip your Bow and Arrow and unlock the door going up to the boss. -Gohma- Ready? Aim? FIRE! Once you enter the room, just shoot your arrow and you'll most likely hit Gohma right in the eye, killing it. Else just avoid it's magic and wait for it's eye to open for you to shoot it with your arrow. It's really not that hard. Take the Heart Container and go up to grab the 6th Piece of the Triforce. Useless Rooms: A-2, D-1, D-2, C-7, E-4 Items Gained: Magic Wand Total Keys: 15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i. Level 7: The Demon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For your next trick, you're gonna need your Recorder. Go to C-5 and you'll see a pool of water there. Play your Recorder to gain access to Level 7. Make sure you have 100 rupees before going in here.

Go up and kill the Goriyas. Before you get the bombs, bomb the upper and left walls. Go left and kill the Keese to reveal more bombs. Don't pick them up unless you need them. Go down and kill the Ropes for a Key. Go up two rooms and you'll face 3 Dodongos. Feed them bombs (go back for the bombs you left behind if you need more) and unlock the door going up. Here you can upgrade your bomb capacity to 16, but you must pay 100 rupees. Do so to obtain 16 bombs. Go back down and right a room. Kill the Goriyas and go right. Kill the Stalfos for the Compass, then go back left and up. Kill the monsters to open the door, then go up again. Here you'll see another Digdogger. You don't have to fight him, though remember if you do to use the Recorder. Bomb the wall to the right and fight the Moldorms to gain a Key. GO left two rooms and kill the Goriyas for 5 Rupees. Unlock the door going up. Now you'll be in a room with the Hungry Monster. Use the Enemy Bait on him and he will disappear, allowing you to pass. Go up, light up the room, grab the Map, and bomb the upper wall. Here you can grab more rupees. Bomb the right wall and go through it. Kill the monsters for the Rupees, then go right again to get the key. Go back left. You should be at B-1. Go down and kill the Goriyas. Bomb the wall to the right and go through it. Kill the monsters and push the left block to open the stairway to the Red Candle. This version is much better than the Blue Candle because you can use it over and over again in the same room. Quite good if you want to create a fire barrier to stop monsters from reaching you. Go back upstairs and bomb the wall to the right. Kill the Goriyas for the bombs, then unlock the door to the right. Now you HAVE to face the Digdoggers. Use the Recorder and waste the 3 smaller forms that it breaks into. Go up once the door opens. Now you'll see 3 Dodongos. Don't bother fighting them. It's a waste of bombs and you gain nothing from it. Bomb the right wall. Be very careful in this room. There are Wallmasters that come out of the wall. If they grab you, they will take you ALL the way back to the entrance. Stay close to the wall and zap them when the come out, watching out for the Bubbles. Once you've killed the 4 of them, push the middle block on the right side and the stairs will open to B-3. Kill the monsters and bomb the right wall to face your boss. -Aquamentus- This is even easier than before. Just zap him about 2 times with your Magic Sword and he's gone. If your life is low for some reason, use the Magic Wand on him and in 3 hits, he's toast. Grab the Heart Container and go left to get the 7th Piece of the Triforce. Useless Rooms: C-7, D-6, D-7, E-7, F-7, D-1 Items Gained: Red Candle Total Keys: 15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- j. Level 8: The Lion ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One last level to go to. Your goal here is to go to N-7. If you want to get there fast, use the Recorder until you get to the entrance to Level 2, then go down 1 screen, right 1 screen, then down 2 screens. Now you see that lone bush in the middle of the road? Burn that bush to reveal the stairs to Level 8.

If you have been collecting keys, then you can make this real quick. From the entrance, go left. Kill the Manhandla for the rupees and to open the door. Go left. Kill the monsters and push the left block to make a path to the stairs where you can get the Magic Book! With this, you will now shoot beams of fire at your enemies (this can also light up a room, so your Red Candle may not be used so much now. Make your way back to the entrance. If you've been following my guide, you shouldn't need to get any more keys. If you do though just take and use the map. Go up and kill the Manhandla again. Bomb the upper wall and go up. Kill the Darknuts here and unlock the door going right for the Compass. Go back left and up. Avoid the monsters if you can, just unlock the door and go up. Again, just avoid the monsters and bomb the upper wall. Kill the Manhandla in this room now for the Map. Bomb the wall to the left to collect many rupees, then go up and kill the Pol Voices. Bomb the wall to the right and grab the bombs that the Pol Voices dropped. Now you'll be faced with a Blue Gohma. This isn't as easy as the last one, as you will now need to shoot it in the eye with your arrows 3 times. Once you kill it, go right. Kill all the monsters and push the block to go down the stairs to receive the most useful item in the game... the Magical Key! Now you don't have to worry about getting stuck without a key again. This item will unlock ALL doors in the game and you'll never ever have to collect keys. Make your way back to D-4. Now kill all the Darknuts to open the door going right. If you can avoid the monsters, just take the stairs to B-5. Once at B-5, bomb the upper wall to face your last underworld boss. -Gleeok- This could be the toughest boss of the game. Gleeok now has FOUR heads that you have to worry about. Zap him if your life is full, else just go in for all the stabs you have. Try not to use the Red Medicine if you still have it, but if you have to, then go for it. Once Gleeok is dead, grab the last Heart Container then go up to get the final piece of the Triforce. Useless Rooms: E-8, B-6, C-6, C-5, C-4, D-1, A-4, A-5 Items Gained: Magic Book, Magical Key Total Keys: A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- k. Prepare for the End ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now you have all 8 pieces of the Triforce, so the Triforce of Wisdom is yours. Now one final quest remains, and that is to find Ganon and kill him. Your task won't be easy. If you don't have Medicine or have the Blue Medicine, then buy some Red Medicine so that way you won't have to leave the dungeon to get some. Also, if your Magical Shield has been destroyed or eaten by Like Likes, then buy yourself a new one. Don't worry if you don't have Enemy Bait, as it won't help much in the dungeon. Make sure you have the following items: Magical Boomerang 16 Bombs Bow & Arrow Red Candle Recorder Red Medicine Magic Wand Raft Ladder Magic Book Magical Key Blue Ring Power Bracelet Magic Sword Magical Shield 16 Hearts Triforce of Wisdom (all 8 Pieces) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- l. Level 9: Death Mountain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 9 can be found at F-1. You will know it when you see it as it is an area with 2 huge rocks. Place a bomb on the left rock and a path will open up to the final dungeon. Also note that before you go in if you ever need medicine that the area just to the left of Level 9 has a medicine shop. Now if you're ready, enter Ganon's Palace.

I- Item K- Key L- Locked Door M- Map R- Money Z- Zelda X- Bombs D- Dark Room S- Big Monster Half of these rooms can just be skipped if you know what to do. It isn't worth going through ALL the rooms. There are two items you can get in this dungeon, one of which you NEED in order to kill Ganon. These items are the Red Ring and the Silver Arrow. First let's go after the Red Ring. From the entrance, go up two rooms. The monsters in this room are easy compared to the Wizzrobes you have to face. Bomb the wall to the left. Enter the room to face a pair of Lanmolas. Since these buggers move at a good speed, your best bet is to use the Magic Wand and burn them to death. Push the left block and take the stairs to E-2. Kill the Like Likes and unlock the door to the right. Now you'll fight some Wizzrobes (I'll try to keep you away from these guys as much as possible, so just follow my lead). Kill the Wizzrobes and bomb the lower wall. Kill the monsters here (use the Magic Wand if you can't zap) and bomb the lower wall again. Kill the Wizzrobes to get the Compass. Now go up two rooms again back to F-2. Go right and you'll come face to face with a Patra. These monsters are tough if you're not careful. You don't have to kill it, but if you want those shiny bombs, just stab away at the small ones that float around it then kill the large one in the center. Go down a room and kill the Gels. Bomb the right wall and face another Patra. Again, you don't have to kill it, but it's better to kill this one so that you can bomb the upper wall more easily, and so you can get the Map. Once it is killed, bomb the upper wall. Kill the monsters and bomb the upper wall again. Kill the Wizzrobes and push the left block to go to the stairs leading to the ever powerful RED RING! This Ring is twice as strong as the Blue Ring, so you take half the damage you would from the Blue Ring. Go back to G-2 where you fought the 1st Patra. Open the door going up and after listening to the old man, bomb the wall to the left. Go left and kill the Wizzrobes. Push the left block to reveal the stairway to D-7. At D-7, unlock the door going left. Kill the Keese in that room and grab the 5 rupees it drops. Go left again to find yet another Patra. Once you kill this one, push the left block out of the way and take the stairs to A-3. At A-3, kill the Wizzrobes and bomb the upper wall. Make your way to the center area and kill the Wizzrobes (you don't wanna get stuck in those narrow places against the blue ones). Once they are killed, push the middle block on the right to reveal the stairs to the legendary SILVER ARROW!! You NEED this item in order to kill Ganon. Make your way back to B-7 (where you killed the last Patra). Go up 3 rooms to B-4 and bomb the wall to your left (if you go any further, you'll be forced to do a LOT of backtracking). Kill the Wizzrobes and push the left block to reveal the stairs (which are under one of the spikes, so make sure to lure them out of the way long enough for you to take the stairs). The stairs lead to E-1. Quickly bomb the wall on the left and go through it (before the Wizzrobes try to attack you). Kill the monsters here and push the left block to make a path to the stairs to C-6. Kill the Patra again. If you are running low on life, use the Red Medicine. Equip the Bow and prepare for the end. Go up to the next room. Link will hold up the Triforce of Wisdom and Ganon will appear. -Ganon- And then Ganon will disappear. He will start moving at random, shooting magic at you in which your shield cannot block. All you can do is stab into the wind and hope to hit Ganon. The best bet is to look at where the magic is coming from and stab there, but you have to stab quickly. Once you stab him 4 times, he will turn to a brownish color. QUICKLY shoot him with the Silver Arrow! After you shoot him, he will burn into ashes and leave the Triforce of Power. Pick up the Triforce of Power and go up. Stab at the fire and enter the area Princess Zelda is in. Useless Rooms: A-5, A-6, D-1, D-2, D-3, D-8, C-1, C-2, C-3, D-2, D-3, D-4, D-5, D-6, D-8, E-3, E-4, E-5, E-6, E-7, E-8, F-5, F-7, G-4, H-4, H-5, H-6 Items Gained: Red Ring, Silver Arrow Total Keys: A You are victorious! Congratulations on defeating the Legend of Zelda... or did you? =============================================================================== III. Quest 2 Walkthrough =============================================================================== Once you defeat Ganon for the first time (or if you enter ZELDA as your name for your character) you can access the 2nd Quest. This quest is VERY tough and should only be attempted by the master gamer or the extremely bored.

Boy... things certainly look different. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah... things are different, but at least the Wooden Sword is still in the cave at the starting area. Grab it or you'll live to regret it. Now this is gonna be a bit harder. Hunting at the first part won't be nearly as easy. There is only ONE spot that you can get 100 rupees from and you need the Blue Candle to do so. If you need fast cash for that, hunt for some bombs and go to N-3. The 30 rupees are in the same place as before, inside the upper part of the cliff. Also on a screen below at N-4, if you move the right Armos, you can go to the stairs leading to another 30 rupees. Once you have 60 rupees, buy a Blue Candle at G-7. Once you have that, go to D-6 and burn the lower-left green bush to get 100 rupees in the cave. Okay, now you need to come up with 250 rupees somehow so you can get the Blue Ring, and trust me, you WILL need it early on. There are plenty of places to get 30 or 10 rupees each. Just look at the map above. All of them can be gotten by either burning or bombing something. Once you have the 250, go to P-2. Remember how you got the 100 rupees in Quest 1? Well, in case you forget, in P-2 hang on the right side of the cave and go straight up. You'll find a secret passage to P-1. Here is the shop that sells the Blue Ring. BUY IT NOW OR DIE!! Now that you have the Blue Ring, what are we gonna do about that wimpy Wooden Sword? Well, sorry to say, you're stuck with it at least through level 1. But we can still do a little hunting. Make your wall ALL the way over to B-7. This area is known as the Lost Woods. This area is like a big cross and is impossible to find your way out... well, not impossible. If you go right, you will be back at C-7. But the way to A-7 involves a secret. While at B-7, go up, left, down, and left again. This will lead you to A-7. Now you have to be VERY careful. Lynels roam the next couple of areas. Do NOT try to attack them. Just go up until you're at the graveyard. Make your way to A-3 and push the 2nd gravestone from the left in the middle row. Go inside and grab your first Heart Container. While you're in the area, go to E-3 and grab the Power Bracelet under the upper right Armos statue. Now go to B-2, watching out for the Lynels (don't try to kill them unless you can zap them from afar). At B-2, push the left-most rock to reveal the stairs to the Letter. By the time you're ready to go to Level 1, you should have the following: Wooden Shield Bombs Blue Candle Letter Blue Ring Power Bracelet 4 Hearts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- b. Level 1: The "E" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 1 is in the exact same location it is in the first quest. H-4 is where it is.

But have no fear, this level can be completed easily and you don't even have to grab the map or the compass. From the entrance, go up. Kill the Goriyas to get the key (again, I'm gonna have you stock keys, because this quest is so hard that it is best to stock them). Go back to the entrance and go right. Kill the Goriyas there to get the Boomerang. Bomb the upper wall to B-7. Kill the Keese there and push the left block to take the stairs to B-2. Use the Key on the door. Go left. Avoid the Goriyas if you can, just take and bomb the upper wall. Go up to meet the boss, Aquamentus. -Aquamentus- As long as your life is full you can stay back and zap its head 6 times to kill it. Else you'll have to avoid its magic and stab at it. It still shouldn't be too hard. Grab the Heart Container and go right to get the Triforce Piece. Useless Rooms: A-3, A-4, A-5, A-6, B-4, B-5 Items Gained: Boomerang Total Keys: 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- c. Better Late than Never ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now you can finally get the White Sword. It shouldn't be too hard to get, it's in the same exact spot as it was before. Might even be easier than before since you have the Blue Ring this time. The White Sword is at K-1 in case you have forgotten. As long as you have 5 Hearts, you can get the White Sword. Once you have it, there's nothing left to do but go to the next level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- d. Level 2: The "A" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you tried looking for the Blue Ring in it's old location, you may have stumbled upon this level. Level 2 can be found at E-4 under the 2nd top Armos from the left.

These are walls that can't be bombed and looked solid, but if you walk up against them, you'll go right through them to the other side. If on the map you see an FF, it means you can use the false wall on both sides. If you see something like |F, it means you can go through the wall one way, but can't go back. Anyway, let's get started. Go up and face the Gibdos. In this quest you may end up using the Boomerang a lot just to freeze the powerful enemies you start out against. Kill the Gibdos and grab the Key. Go up again. Kill the Zols, go up again. Grab the key there and go up yet again. Kill the next set of Gibdos and go up. Fight the Keese and bomb the right wall. Grab the key and go back left, then up through the door you just opened. Beware of the Manhandla. You don't have to kill it, but if you place a bomb right you can get the Key, so I recommend killing it. Go right. Unlock the door going up and kill the Zols for the Map. Now go down and kill the Darknuts. Go down again and you'll be in a narrow corridor leading to a solid wall. This is a fake wall. Walk up against it and you'll be taken to the next room. Go down the stairs to get the Recorder. Go back up and take the false wall to the left back to A-4. Kill the Gibdos and go back down. Unlock the door to the right. Kill the monsters (including the hard to kill Pol Voices, which as I said, are hard to kill without arrows) to obtain the Key. Go right and down, ignoring the Darknuts. Kill the Keese to get the Key. Bomb the wall to the right and kill the Darknuts to get the Compass, then go back right. Go down and kill the Zols to get the Key. Go down again to see the Gibdos and a stairway. Kill them for 5 rupees and take the stairs to C-4. Ignore the Darknuts here and unlock the upper door to face Gleeok. -Gleeok- At this level, Gleeok is tough. You only have 5 hearts (compared to having about 9 by the time you fought him for the first time in Quest 1). If you have full life, then it will be easier. Just do what you've been doing and Gleeok will just soon die, leaving a Heart Container. Take it and go up to get the piece of the Triforce. Useless Rooms: none Items Gained: Recorder Total Keys: 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- e. This isn't Recording? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that you have the Recorder, you can get two more Heart Containers that you WILL need in the upcoming battles. Head to K-4 (the desert area) and play the Recorder to reveal a stairway to a Heart Container. Now go down 1 screen to the shop and buy an Arrow. Go left now and push the rock out of the way to reveal the warp (if you haven't used a warp already). Take the right one to warp to D-3. Now head to G-1 and use the Recorder again to reveal the stairs to another Heart Container. Grab it. You should now have 8 Hearts. Now there is just one thing left. Head back to P-1 where you got the Blue Ring. Pay 60 rupees to get the Enemy Bait. After you have that you're now ready to go on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- f. Level 3: The "L" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can't do this without the Recorder. Go to M-4 (same place as level 2 in the first quest). This time there will be a small pond. Use the Recorder to reveal the stairs to level 3.

From the entrance, just keep going straight up, killing any monster you come across, grabbing a Map and a Key along the way (if you can help it, don't grab the bombs just yet unless you REALLY need them). At C-2 you'll come across the Hungry Goriya. Feed it the Enemy Bait to pass, and unlock the door. Kill the monsters there to receive the Magical Boomerang. Now make your way down to C-6. Unlock the door to your right to face the boss. -Dodongo- Dodongo really hasn't gotten any harder in the 2nd quest, except here you have to face 3 of them with only 8 bombs. You can go on without fighting them if you wish, but you'll miss out on getting your Heart Container for now. Be careful when feeding them the bombs as your supply is limited. If you need some more, go to C-5 and pick up the ones I told you not to. Kill the Dodongos for the Heart Container. Unlock the door going down. Grab the Compass and kill the Wallmasters. Once you do that, push the middle block on the right to reveal the stairs to A-3. Grab the Key and kill the monsters to open the door going up. Grab the Triforce Piece to leave this simple dungeon. Useless Rooms: none Items Gained: Magical Boomerang Total Keys: 3 (this is why I have you stock on keys) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- g. Level 4: The "D" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remember the area near level 5 where you had to go up about 4 times to reach level 5? (in case you don't remember, it was at L-2). Push the rock on the far right side up or down to reveal the stairs to level 4. Make sure you have about 150 rupees with you.

If you hit these bubbles, you cannot use your sword anymore! Well, at least until you hit a Blue Bubble, so if you see Red Bubbles, hopefully you can find Blue Bubbles nearby. From the Entrance, go left and light up the room grabbing the Key along the way. Go back and then up. You will right off the bat be face to face with a Digdogger. Use the Recorder as you usually do against this enemy. Since your sword isn't strong against them, freeze the little Digdoggers with your Boomerang, then finish them off. Go left. You can skip the Compass if you wish to avoid having to kill the Blue Darknuts with your White Sword. Else kill them and grab the compass. Go up and unlock the door going right. Kill the easy Aquamentus and go right. Kill the monsters and push the middle block on the left to reveal the Stairway to the Magic Book. Yes, it's useless now, but once you get the Wand it won't be. Go back up the stairs once you have it. Now push against the false wall going up. Buy the extra bombs the man offers to increase your bomb capacity to 12. Now push against the false wall to the left. Kill the monsters and unlock the door to the left. Ignore the Darknuts and just go up. Kill the Zols and go up. Kill the Zols again and go right. Push the block forward and go down. Kill the monsters, grab the Key, and bomb the wall to the right to reveal a room of Rupees. From the room of rupees, go left and up. Push the block up and bomb the wall to the right. Kill Dodongo if you wish (the door leading up leads to Blue Darknuts and a map, but it's not worth the waste to me). Go back left and push the block out of the way. Go up. This is one thing they made sure to do during this quest; place Keys just out of your reach. There is a Key here but you can't get it without the Ladder and without killing the Keese first. Bomb the wall going up. Now you will be faced with a decision. Your money or your life? NEVER EVER give your life (it involves giving up a full Heart Container). If you don't have the money just get it and come back, but it's only 50 rupees. Give it to him and go right. Push the left block of the middle set to reveal the stairs to D-7. Unlock the door going up to face your boss. -Digdogger- Didn't you already face him once in this dungeon? Well, do the same thing. Use the Recorder, stun them with the Boomerang, then stab them to death. Grab the Heart and go up to the next room, but do NOT grab the Triforce just yet. Go up and around to the top and push against the false wall. Kill the Darknuts, the Dodongos (making sure you have the bombs, because if you don't, you'll be stuck there until you die). Once you kill them, go up. Kill the monsters here but do NOT go left. Kill the monsters (as tough as that may seem) and push the block on the left that is directly in front of the door. This will open the stairs to the Raft. Take it and grab the Raft. Now go back to the Triforce Piece and grab it. Useless Rooms: A-1, A-2, C-7, C-8 Items Gained: Raft Total Keys: 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- h. Level 5: The "Z" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This next level is NOT going to be easy. You will have to face Wizzrobes with your White Sword. Before you go to the next level, buy a Magical Shield and a Red Potion. Trust me, this is well worth it. You don't want to go dying so easily now do you? Also, since you're out, grab the Heart Container at P-3 with your Raft. Level 5 is in the same place level 4 was during the 1st Quest, at F-5. Use the Raft to get there.

From the entrance, go up and left. Kill the Like Likes and unlock the door going down. QUICKLY take the stairs to B-1. This will be your true test. A room full of Blue Wizzrobes and no escape. Your best bet is to attack them when they're on the other side of the blocks. Once you've killed them, push the middle block on the left towards the RIGHT. This will open the door to a Gohma. Since you don't have the Bow, you can't kill it right now. Just go down and take the stairs to get the Bow! Hopefully you bought the Arrow like I told you to in the beginning. Go back to the Gohma and fight it with the Bow & Arrow. Wait for its eye to open and shoot it 3 times to kill it, giving you a Key. Go left and take the stairs back to B-8. Don't try to fight the Wizzrobes. Push against the false wall on the left to reveal a passage to a bunch of Keese and a Key. Go back right and up. Back at B-7, go left. Light up the room and kill the Vires to get the Map. Go up. Kill the Wizzrobes if you can but just try to make it to the upper door. Again at A-5 with the same thing. Go right without trying to fight the Wizzrobes. Kill the Zols to get the Compass. Go up. Here is another Key out of reach of your hands. Just go right without messing with the Wizzrobes. Now you have to face a Manhandla. You DO have to kill this to move on. You're best to use the Bomb strategy to take it out in one shot. Once it is gone, go up. Take the stairs to B-2. Unlock the door to your left to face the boss. -Gleeok- Gleeok again? Well, it might be a bit easier this time. 3 heads and 11 Hearts? Shouldn't be too bad. Just be quick and stab/zap it to death. Grab the Heart Container and go up for the 5th Piece of the Triforce. Useless Rooms: none Items Gained: Bow Total Keys: 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i. Time for some Magic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, you have 12 Hearts! About time don't you think? Now you can finally get the Magic Sword! It's in a bit of a different place this time though. This time it is at J-1. You will know you are at this area when you see a bunch of rocks forming an arrow going left. Push the far left rock to reveal a staircase to the Magic Sword. Grab it NOW! You also might wanna take this time to get some more Enemy Bait. Now perhaps the game will get a bit easier. Make sure you have the following before going on: Magical Boomerang 12 Bombs Bow & Arrow Blue Candle Recorder Enemy Bait Red/Blue Medicine Raft Magic Book Blue Ring Power Bracelet Magic Sword Magical Shield ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- j. Level 6: The Wizard's Hat ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 6 is actually located in the graveyard at A-4. You have to play the Recorder in order to reveal the stairs to Level 6.

From the entrance, go up. Kill the Wizzrobes for some bombs then go up. Kill the monsters if you can then go left. Unlock the door and go left again. Kill the monsters, grab the rupees, and go left again. Grab those rupees there and push the block on the far left away to reveal the stairs to the Ladder! FINALLY! Go right two rooms and down. Grab the Key (now that you can), and go back up and right again. Bomb the upper wall and go up. Go left if you can without fighting the Wizzrobes. Kill the Like Likes and grab the Map from C-5. Go back right and bomb the upper wall. Now kill the Keese and ignore the Compass. Go up. You'll be in a room with Blue Bubbles. Push the left-most block in the center row to reveal the stairs to D-1. Bomb the lower wall in D-1 and go down. Quickly grab the key to your left and go back. Unlock the door to your right. Now you'll face a two-headed Gleeok. Shouldn't be too hard with your Magic Sword. Kill him, grab the rupees and go right. Now push the block on the left to reveal stairs to F-4. If you get hit by a red bubble, take the stairs at D-1 and touch a blue bubble on the other side. Ignore the Manhandla and go up. Ready your Bow and Arrow. -Gohma- Gohma's strategy never changes for all of this. Wait for the eye to open again, and shoot it. Shouldn't be too hard. Go up and grab the Triforce Piece. Useless Rooms: C-2, C-3, C-4 Items Gained: Ladder Total Keys: 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- k. Level 8: The Spiral ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before anybody asks, YES I can count. This next section is for you to go to Level 8 BEFORE you go to level 7. Why do you ask? 1: Level 8 is MUCH easier than level 7. 2: You can get both the Magic Wand and Magical Key in Level 8. 3: You can upgrade your bombs again here. And 4: Because if you're following this walkthrough exactly, you have no choice but to come here. Before you do anything right now, go to P-6 and use the Ladder to get the last Heart Container. Now you should be all caught up. Now use the Recorder until you are teleported to the area right above level 4 (you will know by the Fairy Fountain). Go down one screen and left two screens (one screen past the waterfall). Count 5 squares from the left and bomb the wall across the river. Enter Level 8.

If you get hit by a red bubble here, push the left block, take the stairs, and go right to touch a blue bubble at B-2. Anyway, back to the room with the blue bubble, push the left block to take the stairs to A-2. Then push against the false wall going down. Ignore the Dodongos and unlock the door going down. Kill the Wallmasters (if you get hit by a red bubble, don't waste time trying to get the blue one to hit you, just kill them with arrows). Push the middle block on the left to reveal the stairs to the Magic Wand. Grab it. Go back up to the Dodongo room and take a right. Kill the monsters and bomb the lower wall. Kill the Blue Goriyas there for the Map. Go up and push the left-most block in the middle row to reveal the stairs back to H-6. At H-6, go up. Kill the monsters and go up again. You'll see a Digdogger here. You don't have to fight it, so go up. Use the Enemy Bait on the hungry Goriya to pass. In the next room, light up the room and kill the Keese to receive the Compass. Go up again. Kill the monsters to grab the Key. Go left. Kill the monsters to open the door and go left again. Kill the Digdogger if you want money, else just bomb the wall to the left. Quickly unlock the door to your left to avoid the Wallmasters and bubbles (kill the Wallmasters if you NEED the bombs). Now you'll see some Dodongos. Use your bombs wisely in killing them. Kill them to open the door going left. Push the left block on the middle set to reveal the stairs while watching out for the Red Bubbles (the nearest blue bubble is on the other side of the stairs at B-5). When you arrive at B-5, unlock the door to the left. Kill the Stalfos and push the only block 4 squares from the left side. This reveals a stairway to the Magical Key! Now you no longer have to chase after keys. After you return from getting the Magical Key, go right back to B-5. Now go down. Push the block out of the way and go left. Kill the Electric Ropes and push against the false wall going down. Kill the monsters there for some rupees and go right. Unlock the door to the right and keep going. Kill the monsters here for some bombs and push the block on the left to take the stairs to F-5. At F-5, bomb the wall going down. Kill the monsters in F-6 for some rupees and go down again. Now kill the Aquamentus to open the left door. Go through and kill the Wallmasters. Push the middle block on the left side to open the door to the man selling more bombs. Pay the 100 rupees to upgrade your bomb capacity. Head back to F-5 (where you last had stairs). Unlock the door going up to face your boss. -Dodongo- Another reason I had you come to this level before level 7. With 16 bombs, you should EASILY be able to kill them. The only difference is that you have to watch out for the magic being thrown at you. Once they're dead, go up and grab the Triforce Piece. Useless Rooms: A-1, B-1 Items Gained: Magic Wand, Magical Key Total Keys: A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- l. Level 7: The Morning Star ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, now we can go to Level 7. Level 7 is at M-7. To get inside, you have to burn the 3rd bush from the top on the left side of the middle clump of bushes. This is hard to do because the area to the left is so narrow, so burn it from the right area and then go around and enter. Also, make sure you at least have 50 rupees before you enter.

From the entrance, go left. You don't have to worry about Keys anymore so many rooms will be useless. If there is nothing of value and you can move on, then DO SO. Don't try to fight unless you need money or bombs, as you will need your life. From the entrance just go left and grab the compass. Go back to the entrance and then right. Kill the monsters if you'd like, but go on right. Ignore the monsters if you want again and go right. At E-7 kill all the monsters here. After you kill them, push the only block four squares from the left side to reveal the stairs. Take them to C-1. At C-1, go down. Kill the Darknuts and Pol Voices and push the left block in the middle set to reveal the stairs to the Red Candle. Go back and take the stairs at C-2 to go back to E-7. Back at E-7, go right to face the Manhandla. Kill it with some bombs or something then push the leftmost block out of the way to open both doors. Go right. Light up the room and then go up, ignoring the monsters. Kill the monsters here to get the map. Go up again. Kill the Blue Darknuts to open the door and to get some rupees. Go up and ignore these Darknuts as well. Go up again to face Gohma. Just do what you've been doing, shoot it in the eye 3 times with your arrows and the door will open. Go up. Kill the Keese and push the left-most block to reveal the stairs to D-5. Go up to D-4. Push the block up and go right. Here is another Thief. Give him the money as always and go down. Kill the Blue Darknuts and push the only block 4 squares from the left side to reveal the stairs to G-1. After you take the stairs, unlock the door going left. Kill the Blue Darknuts to open the door, then face your final boss before Ganon... -Gleeok- Now you have 4 heads to worry about. Still shouldn't be too tough though as long as you stay clear and zap way if your life is full, else do as Ali says; "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." Stab a few times and run before its magic hits you. Just be quick and you'll be fine. Grab your last Heart Container and go left and grab the last piece of the Triforce. Useless Rooms: C-3, C-4, C-5, D-3, E-3 Items Gained: Red Candle Total Keys: A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- m. Walk to the Great Beyond ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that you have all the pieces of the Triforce, all 16 Heart Containers, it is time for you to finish this game off. If you had to use your Medicine, make sure you have RED Medicine. You will need it in this level. Make sure you have the following items: Magical Boomerang 16 Bombs Bow & Arrow Red Candle Recorder Red Medicine Magic Wand Magic Book Raft Blue Ring Ladder Magical Key Power Bracelet Magic Sword Magical Shield 16 Hearts Triforce of Wisdom With all that, you are ready to face Ganon... again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- n. Level 9: Ganon's Palace ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 9 is in a bit of a different spot from last time. This time it is at A-1. Like last time, you have to do some bombing. From the end of the road on the left side, count over 4 squares. Place a bomb on that wall to reveal the door to level 9.

This level is just MUCH more complicated. Just like last time though, your goal is to get the Silver Arrow and Red Ring before you face Ganon. From the entrance go up. Since you have the Triforce of Wisdom, the old man won't be there. Go up again. Kill the Zols and push against the right wall to go through the false wall. Kill the monsters and go right through the false wall on the right. Kill the Wizzrobes here and bomb the upper wall. Kill the Patra here for the Map. Go through the false wall on the left. Kill the Wizzrobes and push the lone block to reveal the stairs to the Silver Arrow! Make sure you get this! After you come back from getting the Silver Arrow, push against the false wall going up so you can enter the next room. Push the block on the left to reveal the stairway to D-7. At D-7, bomb the upper wall. Kill the Lanmolas in the dark room and go left. Kill the Like Likes and go left again. Kill the Vires here to get 5 rupees, then unlock the door going up. Kill the Keese here and unlock the door going left. Kill the Lanmolas here for some bombs and go up. Avoid the red bubbles and bomb the wall on the right. Push the block out of the way and go up. Ignore the Wizzrobes if you want and just go right. Bomb the wall going down to go to a room with the Compass. Go back up and bomb the wall going up this time. Ignore the Wizzrobes and unlock the door going right. If you can avoid them again, go up. You should now be at D-2 with an old man. Push against the false wall going left to go to the next room. Kill the Like Likes and move on left. Quickly avoid the Wizzrobes and go up. Ignore the Patra for now and move against the false wall to the left. Kill the Blue Lanmolas and push the block on the left to reveal the stairs to the RED RING! Go back up. Push back right against the false wall. Now this time, fight the Patra. Kill the outer ring first then the center. Push the block on the left to reveal the stairs to F-2. Bomb the wall to the right and move on to fight another Patra. Kill it like you did last time and when the door is open, equip the Bow and Silver Arrow and go right. Time to face your destiny. Link will raise up the Triforce of Wisdom and make Ganon appear. -Ganon- But just like last time, he'll disappear. This battle isn't any tougher or any different than it was last time. Watch where he is shooting magic from and go towards it, but you only have a split second to stab him. Stab him 4 times with the Magic Sword until he turns a brownish color, then nail him with the Silver Arrow. He will burn to ashes once again and leave the Triforce of Power. Grab it and go up. Stab the flames to destroy them and enter the area Zelda is in.

Tips & Tricks =============================================================================== Fast money: This is a real sweet trick that can get you money in a hurry, providing your eyes are good. Go to the graveyard. In each of the 6 zones there will be a Ghini. If you touch a grave, a Ghost Ghini will be summoned (one you can't hurt). Make sure you follow the real Ghini. Summon about 8 or 10 of them then kill the real Ghini. All of them will die and you'll be left with a LOT of items, but most likely a lot of money. This can be repeated 6 times before you have to move on and do something for a while for each of the screens to regenerate. Killing Darknuts: Darknuts can be hard to kill, but they are slow. Darknuts will only turn when they are on a square and not on the line. However, you can stand on the line. Stand to the Darknut's side on the line and stab/zap at it. Quickly move after that and repeat. Killing Wizzrobes: Wizzrobes are the hardest hitting monsters in this game. The orange ones aren't hard to kill, but the Blue ones will move around freely. NEVER EVER stand in front of their path of travel, else they will fire at you. Attack them from the side or from behind if you wish to kill them quick. Just stay out of their path. Basic Tip #1: Since this game involves a LOT of areas and a LOT of monster, you are much better off avoiding a lot of what you don't need to. Many rooms don't contain anything but monsters and can really put a hurt on your life. If you wish to "complete" the game then you can do so, but to me it's a waste of time and effort to visit every room. All you need in each dungeon are the item(s), some Keys, the Map, the Compass, the Heart Container, and of course, the Piece of the Triforce. Basic Tip #2: If you can get to the next room without having to kill the monsters, and you don't need either money, bombs, or keys, then do so. In my walkthrough I usually say when to kill and when not to (at least in the 2nd quest). Remember, the game is expensive (averaging about 810 rupees on the first quest, and about 1000 for the 2nd quest) and you don't want to always waste money on Red Medicine, Keys, Bombs, and the like. Basic Tip #3: NEVER try to hurry to kill a monster. If you do you're gonna lose a LOT of life. Take your time when fighting. In almost any RPG, evade is always better than pure defense. If you can avoid an attack it will be MUCH better than if you tried to power your way through an attack. Take your time when fighting. =============================================================================== VII: Thanks =============================================================================== -To my fiancee Ashley for her support and love. -To Nintendo for creating this revolutionary game. -To the people of the Hideout Forums at http://orakianhideout.proboards20.com/index.cgi -To me for spending so much time to create a complete walkthrough such as this.
