Overview
~~~~~~~~
The Legend of Zelda is a tale about evil, princesses and a young lad with
spunk;
the common threads in many of the great stories of our generation. You fill
the
boots of a young man name Link as he sets out to save the land of Hyrule from
a
great evil that threatens everything. Link starts his journey with little in
the way of equipment and information and it's up to you to get him through the
hardships that lay ahead and through the final showdown with evil. Only Link,
with your help, can save the princess and bring peace back to the land.
From a technically perspective this game still holds up very well and,
considering the age of this game, that is quite a feat. Everything from the
gameplay to the visuals still remains strong. While they might not be what we
are used to from the latest generation of gaming they still manage to remain
enjoyable. Many of the games we play now owe themselves to this title and so
it's nice to see where and how it all started. If you're looking for a great
adventure on the go or you just want to see the roots of the greatest
franchise
in gaming then you can't go wrong with The Legend of Zelda; whether you're
playing it on the old Nintendo Entertainment system, the portable goodness of
the Gameboy Advance or the next gen Nintendo Wii.
This guide will take you through all nine dungeons of both quests and offer
complete detailed sections on all the equipment available to Link on his
journey. Also included are the locations of all the games hidden treasures and
secrets and finally, a complete Beastiary so you can better understand the
many
enemies that Link will face. Everything you need to get the most out of this
amazing classic is right here without skipping a single treasure, secret or
advantage. With this guide and a little courage you'll master The Legend of
Zelda in no time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Same Game, Different Consoles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Legend of Zelda was originally released here in the States for the
Nintendo
Entertainment System on August 22nd, 1987.  Success for the series followed
and
the original game eventually saw additional releases starting with it's
appearance on a collector's disk for the Gamecube that included Legend of
Zelda , Adventure of Link, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. This disk was
obtained either from Nintendo or by purchasing a new Gamecube console.
Also released was a Gameboy Advance port as part of the Classic NES series;
some of the "best" games from the NES days brought back to life on the
handheld
for twenty dollars a piece. While the gameplay and content remained the same
and the portability was a keen feature, the game suffered from visual
differences brought on by the aspect ratio of the system being different from
the source. These hiccups were easily dismissed for new players of the classic
but a hard pill to swallow for classic minded fans. The controls on the
handheld were also a point of contention mostly in part to the weak and
diminutive D-Pad on the small surface.
Flash forward a few years later and Legend of Zelda sees it's most recent,
although likely not the last, release on the Nintendo Wii as part of the
Virtual Console service. For a small price of 500 Wii Points(roughly 5
dollars)
Legend of Zelda could be downloaded and played in all it's splendor. This
release was pixel for pixel, a perfect match of the original. Presented in 4:#
aspect and in upgraded 480p definition the already sold visual offering was
boosted to take advantage of HDTV's. Players could use the Wiimote in a mimic
of the original controller layout or make use of either a Gamecube controller
or Nintendo Classic Controller.
No matter how you play it and where the gameplay remains the same so while
this
guide was written playing Legend of Zelda on the Wii, it's relevant to all
releases.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2.0 Story, Controls and Game Mechanics.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Story overview as well as descriptions of the controls and different aspects
of
gameplay in The Legend of Zelda is shown below.
~~~~~
Story
~~~~~
Note: This is taken from the manual provided with the game but since some
lose\never get\eat the manual it's listed below. The text below is not the
work
of the author.
"In the midst of this chaos, in a little kingdom in the land of Hyrule, a
legend was being handed down from generation to generation, the legend of the
"Triforce"; golden triangles possessing mystical powers.  One day, an evil
army
attacked this peaceful little kingdom and stole the Triforce of Power.  This
army was led by Ganon, the powerful Prince of Darkness who sought to plunge
the
world into fear and darkness under his rule. Fearing his wicked rule, Zelda,
the princess of this kingdom, split up the Triforce of Wisdom into eight
fragments and hid them throughout the realm to save the last remaining
Triforce
from the clutches of the evil Ganon. At the same time, she commanded her most
trustworthy nursemaid, Impa, to secretly escape into the land and go find a
man
with enough courage to destroy the evil Ganon. Upon hearing this, Ganon grew
angry, imprisoned the princess, and sent out a party in search of Impa.
Braving forests and mountains, Impa fled for her life from her pursuers.  As
she reached the very limit of her energy she found herself surrounded by
Ganons
evil henchmen.  Cornered!  What could she do?.. But wait! All was not lost. A
young lad appeared. He skillfully drove off Ganons henchmen and saved Impa
from
a fate worse than death.
His name was Link. During his travels he had come across Impa and Ganons
henchmen. Impa told Link the whole story of the princess Zelda and the evil
Ganon. Burning with a sense of justice, Link resolved to save Zelda, but
Ganon was a powerful opponent. He held the Triforce of Power. And so, in order
to fight off Ganon, Link had to bring the scattered eight fragments of the
Triforce of Wisdom together to rebuild the mystical triangle. If he couldn't
do
this, there would be no chance Link could fight his way into Death Mountain
where Ganon lived."
"Can Link really destroy Ganon and save Princess Zelda? Only your skill can
answer that question. Good luck, use the Triforce wisely."
The story is sparse by today's standards but for the time it was extremely
unique to see a story in a video game, let alone a story as thought out or
unique as the Legend of Zelda's.
~~~~~~~~
Controls
~~~~~~~~
The system gives you a few options for controlling the game play for NES games
downloaded off the Virtual Console since the source controller only had 4
buttons and a D-Pad. You can use the Wiimote itself; when held sideways the
layout resembles the original NES controller. Off the three available options
the Wiimote offers the closest emulations of the classic NES controller for
The
Legend of Zelda. Players can also use a Gamecube controller\Wavebird or the
Wii's Classic Controller.
The Direction Pad move Link around, the start and select buttons offer access
to the item screen and pause while the A and B activates\uses whatever item
you
have assigned to it. For the time a user decided control scheme such as this
was very pro gamer. Simple, intuitive and fitting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Game Mechanics
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Legend of Zelda is played in two main areas; the over-world of Hyrule and
the Nine Dungeons scattered about. Gameplay and controls are the same in both
but enemies, items and scenery change.
Hyrule
~~~~~~
Hyrule is the land above the dungeons. Here Link can find shops to purchase
helpful equipment from, local citizens who might help Link with information or
a service and plenty of hidden treasures. This acts as the main hub between
the
dungeons which act as levels, splitting the game into nine parts.
Shops
~~~~~
Inside shops Link can purchase a range of useful items that will make his
quest
easier. Items vary in price and usefulness. Remember that prices aren't set in
stone so shop around. To purchase an item simply have Link walk over it. If he
has enough rupees then the item will be his. Refer to the shop section for
further information.
Dungeons
~~~~~~~~
There are a total of nine dungeons scattered about Hyrule. The first eight
each
hold a piece of the Triforce of Wisdom that Link must collect to be able to
face Ganon and the Triforce of Power in the ninth dungeon. The entrances to
these dungeons range from being right out in the open to being on a hidden
island or even being underneath water. Link will have to search high and low
while paying close attention to the clues provided to locate all nine dungeons
in both Quest One and Quest Two.
Combat
~~~~~~
Link can fight the evils he encounters with a number of items that he'll
collect from around the many dungeons. The first weapon he receives is a old
wooden blade but upgrades become available in the future. Simply hacking won't
suffice for all enemies so Link will have to rely on his cunning and ever
growing supply of new weapons to battle back. You can assign any weapon to any
of the two main buttons based on preference.
Health
~~~~~~
Links health is visible via a system of hearts on the top of the screen.
Damage
from enemies and hazards cause Link to lose hearts and once all of them are
gone then it's game over for Link. Do your best to uncover new Heart
Containers
quickly so Link can stay in the fight longer.
Equipping Items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Equipping any of the many items Link finds is as simple as opening the
inventory screen and assigning a item or weapon to either [A] or [B] then
pressing that button to use the item. Some items have defensive properties or
can be used for attack while others have no clear use right away. Link will
have to uncover the use of said items throughout the game.
Saving
~~~~~~
Link can save his progress by either dying, which isn't much fun, or using the
save screen which is accessible by pressing Up and Select at one time in the
inventory. This will bring up a screen where you can choose to save or even
retry from the last save if you need or want to.
Sleep Menu
~~~~~~~~~~
This is a new addition to this Gameboy Advance port. By pressing [L] and [R]
together a menu will appear where you can reset the game or choose to put the
game to sleep. This is useful if you need to step away from the game but
haven't saved or don't want to turn it off. Sleeping is good to save battery
power. You can wake it back up by pressing [L] + [R] and select.

Health
meter. Each dungeon contains one Heart Container as a reward for defeating the

dungeon.
Usually found after killing a group of enemies but can also be purchased in
shops.

roads around Hyrule. Found in area E3 under an Ramos Statue in both Quest One
and Quest Two.

splits the damage Link takes in quarter. The Red Ring can be found in Dungeon
Nine in both Quest One and Quest Two.
Raft: This seaworthy craft allows Link to cross water between any two docks
located around Hyrule. It's needed to access certain dungeons and optional
Heart Containers. The Raft is found in Dungeon Three in Quest One or Dungeon
Four in Quest Two.
Stepladder: This small ladder allows Link to cross small gaps of waters equal
to one square of area about the size of Link himself. This item is needed to
progress in some dungeons and to collect an optional Heart Container. Found in
Dungeon Four in Quest One or Dungeon Six in Quest Two.
Magic Book: This book acts as an upgrade to Links Magic Wand; allowing its
power beams to turn into fire at the end of the shot. This can double as a
candle also but be sure not to let Link touch the fire. Found in Dungeon Eight
in Quest One or Dungeon Four in Quest Two.
Magical Key: This large key acts as an unlimited supply of small keys,
removing
the need to collect small keys in dungeons. When received it changes the

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Equip-able Items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wooden Sword: The first weapon Link finds in the game. Located in the cave
directly to the north in the area Link starts the game in, area H8, in both
Quest One and Quest Two.
White Sword: The first upgrade to Links sword can be retrieved after he has
five or more Heart Containers. The White sword is located above a small pond
at
area K1 in both Quest One and Quest Two.

or
more Heart Containers. The Master Sword is located under a grave in area B3 in
Quest One and in a hidden set of stairs in area J1 in Quest Two.
Boomerang: A small wooden weapon that can be thrown at enemies to either
freeze
them or cause them damage. This wooden boomerang has a range of about half the
current area and can also be used to collect items like Rupees and small
hearts
from far away. Found in Dungeon One in both Quest One and Quest Two.
Magical Boomerang: An upgraded version of the boomerang weapon. This blue
boomerang can travel twice as far as the old wooden version Link first gets.
Located in Dungeon Two in Quest One and in Dungeon Three in Quest Two.
Bombs: Used to damage many types of enemies and to make passages in walls and
mountains. Dropped by enemies or purchased in shops. The total amount Link can
carry ranges from 8 to 16 depending on upgrades purchased.
Bow: A weapon that Link can use to shoot different types of arrows at enemies.
The bow is also a required item for many boss encounters. It can be found in
Dungeon One in Quest One and Dungeon Five in Quest Two.
Arrows: While not truly an equip-able item arrows are required to use the Bow.
They can be bought at shops for 80 rupees. After they are purchased the amount
is relative to the amount of rupees Link has; one arrow costs one rupee to
fire.
Silver Arrows: These are the most powerful weapon in the game and the only
weapon that can destroy Ganon. They are also useful against the boss Gohma
although you might never get a chance to use them against a Gohma depending on
how you play. Find these in Dungeon Nine in both Quest One and Quest Two.
Magic Wand: This weapon is a handheld wand that shoots power beams towards
whatever it is Link points at. The Magic Wand is useful against non magic type
enemies and can also be upgraded with a fire effect with the help of the Magic
Book. Link finds the Magic Wand in Dungeon Six in Quest One and Dungeon Eight
in Quest Two.
Blue Candle: The Blue Candle is used to illuminate dark areas as well as
burning enemies and objects like trees or bushes. The Blue Candle can be

Red Candle: This upgraded item has the same uses as the Blue Candle except it
can be used as many times as needed per screen. The Red Candle is found in
Dungeon Seven in both Quest One and Quest Two.
Recorder: This magical musical instrument allows Link to transport around
Hyrule to any Dungeon he has already completed and is also used to reveal some
secrets. The Recorder Used more frequently in Quest Two for getting around to
the various Dungeons a lot easier since it's found much earlier then in the
first Quest. Link finds the Recorder in Dungeon Five in Quest One and Dungeon
Two in Quest Two.
Food: This portion of meat can be purchased at shops for either 60 or 80
rupees
depending on where. It is used to group smaller, weaker enemies together for
Link to better fight or to feed a hungry patron.
Letter: This letter is given to Link by an old man high to show to an old
medicine woman so that she can begin to make medicine which becomes available
for purchase by Link. The Letter can be found in area O1 in Quest One and down
a hidden set of stairs at area B2 in Quest Two.
Red Potion: This becomes available for purchase from the medicine women after
Link delivers a letter he receives from an old man. The Red Potion replenishes
Links health and contains two doses; it turns blue after one dose is gone. The
Red Potion can only be purchased only from the Medicine women at her shops.
Note that red potions can also be found at most optional Heart Containers but
only a fool would pick it over the Heart Container. Refer to the Shops section
for locations.
Blue: This becomes available for purchase from the medicine women after Link
delivers a letter he receives from an old man. The Blue Potion replenishes
Links health and contains one dose; it turns back into the Letter after the
dose gone. The Blue Potion can only be purchased only from the Medicine women

4.0 Walkthroughs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The walkthroughs only take you to the areas in the order I saw best to write
this FAQ\Walkthrough in. Some areas may be skipped but can be found in their
appropriate sections.
~~~~~~~~~
Grid Maps
~~~~~~~~~
To help keep the quest as clean cut as possible the guide will feature an easy
to use set of grid maps. Directions will point to a particular square on the
map below by way of a letter and number combination shown like this (A1). To
get there you would find the letter A along the top of the map and then the
number 1 on the left hand side of the map; the square at that intersection is
the location in question. Simple enough right? Good, because the dungeon maps
are set the same way. For both the world map and the dungeon maps there are
individual legends that tell what everything is and where to find it. Simple
yet effective so refer to the world map found at the start of the walkthrough
or the dungeon maps found at the start of each dungeons section for help.

Section One: Claim the Wooden Sword, Big Shield then journey to Dungeon One.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alright, let's get this quest under way shall we? The first step for any
adventurer on a dangerous quest should be to get themselves armed so let's do
that. From Links starting position head into the cave that you see directly to
your north where Link will encounter an old man with a wooden sword before
him.
He warns you "It's Dangerous to go alone!" and to "Take this!". Hmm, he's an
old man all alone in a cave, better do what he says. Move forward to grab the
sword which will automatically be set to your [A] button; feel free to change
it to [B] if that's how you like it. OK, now that Link is ready to rumble
let's
get going. Exit the cave at your convenience.
The first dungeon in Links quest is located to the north of where he started
and received the wooden sword but before heading there we are going to help
Link better protect himself with a nice and new shield to go along with
that...
well, that crappy wooden sword...so you'll need the extra help! From the
starting area head into the next area to the north(H7) where you will
encounter
a group of Red Octoroc which mark Links first enemies...which we are going to
not bother with for right this second. Avoid the Red Octorocs and move into
the
next area to the west(G7), avoid the Red Octoroc here and into the cave you
will see on the northern mountain side. Inside Link will find himself face to
face with a rather rude shop-keep that badgers Link with "Buy something will
ya!" Easy, sport. We will by something soon enough. Take note of the large
shield he has in his wares. You need to collect 160 rupees to be able to add
it
to your arsenal. You can collect this much from fighting and defeating the two
sets of Red Octoroc that occupy the area outside the cave and that to the
east;
prepare to spend a little bit of time collecting this much but it's a worthy
endeavorer. However if you think Link is ready then feel free to continue on
without it.
Head back east through the area we first encountered the Red Octoroc in then
east into the next area(I7). Link will emerge in a forest area with a small
group of Red Octoroc patrolling in a group either to the east of the area or
right below where Link emerged to the west. Let's not bother with them for now
and continue north through another forest area(I6) and the north into the next
area where Link will be greeted with a shore off to the north(I5). There will
be a single Zola shooting at Link from the water while a pair of Red Leevers
prowl all around. Kill the Red Leevers if they are in Links way but otherwise
just run north and enter the next area(I5). Among the brown trees of this area
is a group of five Red Octorocs and a lone Blue Octoroc with a Zola shooting
at
you from random spots in the water. Avoid them for now and head west over the
bridge and into the next area(H5) where Link will find the entrance to the
first dungeon.

for

Ooh, creepy! It's a tree with a mouth! Bah, nothing can scare Link so head
inside where Link emerges in the first room of the dungeon(C6). Take a look
around Links current surroundings. Just a little bland, huh? Well, Link isn't
here to look at the drapes so let's get to it. Head into the open door to the
east and into the next area(D6). Here a group of five Stalfos will greet Link,
one of which hold a key that we'll need later. You can see which one has the
key because apparently the Stalfos ate it and since they are just skeletons
Link can see what they had for lunch. Whether Link kills them all or just the
carrier, get that key and head back west into the entrance area(C6) then
through the open door to the west(B6).
Inside this room are three Blue Keese; they will need to be exterminated so
Link can claim another key. With the second key in your possession head back
into the entrance area(C6) then unlock the door to the north and head into the
area above(C5). Kill or avoid the three Stalfos here, move through the open
door to the north and enter the next area(C4). Get rid of the five Stalfos
found in this room to claim another key then move through the open to door to
the east into the next room(D4) where Link will have to clear a swarm of Blue
Keese to claim the dungeon compass. Back track to the previous room(C4) and
continue through the open door to the west into the next room(B4).
Avoid the Blue Keese in this room, unlock the door to the north and continue
into the next room above(B3). Dispose of the Blue Gel in this room and then
push the block in the middle of the room any direction to unlock the door to
the west. Inside this room(A3) is anther old man who is identical to the sword
giver... maybe he is following Link? He tells Link that the "Eastmost
Peninsula
is the secret!". Hmm, good to know. Back track to the previous room and follow
through to the east and into the next room(C3). Kill or avoid the Blue Gel
here,
grab the Map sitting to the left and then continue through the open door to
the
north into the area above(C2).
Destroy the Stalfos that is carrying the key then unlock the door to the north
and head into the next room(C1); this should leave you with one key. Inside
this room will be three Orange Goriya tossing boomerangs at Link; defeat them
to claim another key then continue through the locked door to west(B1).
Quickly
move forward to avoid the two traps that come sliding towards Link. Avoid the
other traps at the bottom, push the left corner of the diamond the blocks form
from the bottom and then go down the newly accessible stairs to emerge in a
small underground room with a Bow sitting off to your left. Avoid the four
Blue
Keese, grab the Bow and then exit back to the trap room(B1) from which you
will
head back to the room Link received the dungeon map in(C3). Use the last
remaining key to enter the room to the east(D3).
Defeat the three Orange Goriya present in this room and claim the Boomerang as
the prize. Equip it to whichever button that is free then move through the
open
door to the next area to the east(E3). Be careful in this room! There are two
Wall Masters that will drag Link back to the entrance if they get hold of him.
While avoiding the Wall Masters grab the key in the lower right corner of the
room then use it to unlock the door to the north and head into the boss's
lair(E2) where Link will face Aquamentus. Aquamentus is a big green dragon
that
shots fireballs at Link in groups of three. Simply avoid them and attack the
head with direct sword hits or power beams if possible. Once Aquamentus is
vanquished claim the Heart Container to boost Links total to 4 then continue
into the last room(F2) to claim the first piece of the Triforce! Yay! Link
will
automatically be sent back outside the dungeon to continue on his quest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Section Three: Journey to Dungeon Two.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now it's time for a little hike on our journey. It's onward to Dungeon Two.
From Links current position outside Dungeon One(H4) head back across the
bridge(I4) and then south into the area below(I5) then south once more(I6);
avoiding any enemies encountered. In those forest area take the path to the
next area to the east(J6). In this new area near a shore Link will face a
small
flock of Peahat and a lone Zola shooting at you from the water. Avoid them and
move east to the next area(K6), through the Octoroc and Zola and east into the
next area(L6). Take a little breather. Good? Alright, then avoid the gaggle of
Blue and Orange Moblins while you make your way to the next area to the
east(M6). Have to destroy a Blue Moblin or two while you make your way east
and
around the small path then exit the area to the east into the next(N6). Whew,
lots of going left eh? Well, that changes now. Avoiding the four Blue Moblins
head to the area above you(N5) then west into the next area(M5), emerging in
front of a long staircase atop of which sits the entrance to Dungeon Two(M4).
Enter the dungeon through the open door in the middle taking care not to
disturb any of the Armos Knight statues as they will awaken if touched.

the second part of the Triforce.

|B8| E - Entrance
|D7| C - Compass
|D6| M - Dungeon Map
|D5| MB - Magical Boomerang
|C1| D - Boss: Dodongo
|B1| T - Triforce
Let's get to it. From the entrance(B8) head through the door to the north and
into the room above(B7). Destroy the five Rope that are slithering about and
then continue through the newly opened door to the left. In this room is a key
being guarded by six Rope but since Link receives nothing for destroying them
just grab the key and move back into the previous room(B7) then straight
across
the room and through the door to the right(C7). Three Rope are on the patrol
in
this room with a locked door laying across the way to the right. For now skip
these enemies and head through the open door to the south and into the room
below(C8). Destroy the five Rope here to claim another key; head back to the
room above(C7).
At this point Link should have two keys in his inventory. Use one of them to
unlock the door to the right and head into the next room behind(D7). Kill the
Gels that are on the prowl then claim the Compass as your reward. If Link has
any bombs then use one on the north wall and continue to the next paragraph.
No
bombs huh? What a loser! Well, we'll have to take the long way around. Once
you
have picked up the compass head back to the room to the left(C7) then north,
through the open door and into the room above(C6). Here five Orange Goriya are
moving all about but pay them no mind. Use the last of Links two keys on the
locked door to the right then continue into the room behind(D6).
Dash toward the middle of the room and grab the Dungeon Map; just ignore the
Gels. With the map safely in Links inventory head through the door on the left
into that room(C6) then through the open door to the north(C5). The door will
slam shut behind you leaving you along with a small group of Ropes. Kick some
snake ass here to unlock the door and claim a third key; head into the room to
the right(D5) when ready. In this room three Blue Goriya will be ready for
battle while a dragon tile shoots fireballs at you from each of the four
corners. While avoiding these fireballs lay waste to the Blue Goriya then grab
the newly visible Magical Boomerang; this weapons has a father reach and
greater speed then the original. Head back to the previous room(C5) then to
the
next room above(C4).
In this sand filled room will be two Orange Moldorms that Link will need to
get
rid of to claim yet another of this dungeons small keys; hit each one a total
of ten times to destroy it. Head into the room to the right(D4) making sure to
move quick to avoid the two Traps that come slamming down at Link from both
sides. Here in this room will be a couple pairs of Blue Keese; destroy them to
claim some bombs as a prize. Using these explosives blow a hole in the wall to
the north while avoiding the two Traps on that side then continue through the
hole to the room above(D3). Kill the Gels here to claim five Rupees then
continue through the open door(D2).
Here in this room will be that same creepy old man clone who this times hints
that "Dodongo dislikes smoke." Don't we all? With this great heap of info in
Links mind it's time to continue on; maybe to meet this Dodongo. You can
either
bomb the wall to the left of the old man and head into that room(C2) or you
can
backtrack to the room below(D3) then use the key to unlock the door to the
left(C3) where you will have to fight some Rope before heading north into the
next room(C2). Bombing offers the quickest way while backtracking allows you
the opportunity to fight some Rope that seem to hold a higher rate of Rupee
then others so pick which you want.
Either way Link got here(C2) this room will have five Orange Goriya tossing
boomerangs at you. These will need to be destroyed to gain both access to the
Boss's Lair above and some more bombs; make sure to grab these. With bombs at
the ready head into the room above(C1) to make battle with the Dungeon Two
boss
Dodongo! Dun Dun Duuuuun! OK, enough with the dramatics. Destroying Dodongo is
a simple task. Simply place a bomb in his path and he will walk on it,
destroying him instantly or alternatively Link can strike him in the back with
his sword to stop Dodongo then lay into him with more strikes to damage him.
Either way Link goes it's an easy fight. Grab the Heart Container that appears
once Dodongo has fallen then head through the newly opened door to the left
into the last room(B1) to claim Links second piece of the Tri-Force. As usual,
Link will emerge outside the Dungeon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Section Five: Claim two new Heart Containers and the White Sword. Journey to
Dungeon Three.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alright, now that Dungeon Two is out of the way let's take some time to equip
Link with the latest and greatest in the way of adventures gear.....I mean
let's go get a new sword and some extra heart containers. From where Link now
outside Dungeon Two(M4) head back down the long staircase and into the area
below(M5); watch out for the gaggle of Octorocs. From here head to the area to
the right(N5) where there will be four Blue Moblins. Kill these guys if Link
is
in need of some bombs(need them soon) then continue through to the area
above(N4) where there are four more Blue Moblins as well as 30 hidden rupees
under the Armos Statue to the right but watch out the Armos will be mad to
have
to move over. In the area above(N3) a Zola will attack you from the water as
well as three Blue and Red Octorocs but just ignore them for now and head into
the area to the left(M3). Kill the four Tektikes that are hopping around then
use a bomb to blow a hole in the right corner of the mountain in the middle of
the area. Head inside where a Red Potion and a Heart Container will lay before
Link. The Old Man here will instruct Link to "Take any one you want." Hmm,
which to take....jeez, I don't know.
With the new Heart Container boosting Links confidence head back outside the
cave(M3) then head back to the area to the right(N3). Avoid the before
mentioned Zola and Octorocs while you head to the area above(N2) by way of the
shore and not the blue staircase to the left. Continue along the shore while
avoiding any Peahat attacks then into the next area to the right(O2). Watch
out
for the Zola and Tektikes that are hoping about while you make your way up the
staircase to the area above(O1). Head into this cave here to claim the Blue
Letter from the old man who tells you to "Show this to the old woman." What
old
woman? We'll get to that in a bit. Head back outside(O1) then down the stairs
to the area below(02).
Head back to the area to the left(N2) where all the Peahats are and go right
up
the staircase to the area above(N1). Fight your way through some Tektikes
while
you move to the area to the left(M1). Kill the six Tektikes here then head
into
the cave located in the top left corner. Here purchase a Blue Candle from the
man then head back outside; if you don't have enough rupees then just fight
those Tektikes again until you do. With the Blue Candle safely in Links
inventory head down the stairs below you into the next area to the south(M2).
Don't mess with any of these Armos Statues while you move to the area to the
west(L2), through some rocks and into the next area to the west(K2). Pay the
Tektikes and Zola no mind here while you go up the stairs to the lake above
(K1).
Fight your way through a lone Blue Lynel on to the cave in the northwest
corner
where Link will claim the second most powerful sword, the White Sword.
Head back down the stairs into the area below(K2) the left into the next
area(J2). Maneuver through falling Rocks and Zola attacking from the shore
through two more areas to the left until you come out in front of a turn to
the
south in the river(H2). Move to the next area to the south(H3), avoid the
three
Peahats here and go into the next area to the right(I3). Here, try out that
new
Blue Candle on the lower bush in the back rank to claim thirty hidden rupees
below. With these in your wallet continue south into the area outside the
first
Dungeon(I4). Avoid the Octorocs here while you move south into the next area
(I5)
then follow the shore to the west(H5). Here use that Blue Candle on the fifth
tree from the right below you to be presented with another choice between a
Red
Potion or a Heart Container. I trust you know which to choose.
Whew, now that we have boosted Links life a little more let's get back on the
road to the next dungeon. Go through the next area to the west(G5), avoid the
Zola attacks and follow the shore south to the area below(G6). Use the Blue
Candle on the lower single bush in the middle to lay Links grubby hands on ten
more hidden rupees then follow the shore to the west into the next area(F6).
Kill the Red Octoroc while continuing to follow the shore to the south(F7).
Don't worry, we are almost there! Here in this area(F7) head across the bridge
while avoiding any Red Octorocs that may get in your way follow into the area
to the west(E7). Destroy the Octorocs here then head into the cave in the
northwest part of the area. Equip the Blue Letter and present it to the silent
Old Women who will start to sell you "medicine" in the form of either Blue
Potion or a Red Potion. Stock up on anything you may want then exit the cave
and continue west into the next area(D7).
Kill or avoid the roaming Blue Moblins and Orange Moblins, head to the last
area to the south(D8) and then finally through some more Blue Moblins to the
area to the right(E8) where Link will finally find the entrance to Dungeon
Three. Enter through the mouth when ready.

|E3| BM - Boss: Manhandla
|E2| T - Triforce
Yes, we all notice the resemblance to a certain hate symbol(I'll skip the
lesson where I tell you it's really not) but let's not worry about it. From
the
entrance(D6) head through the open door to the west and defeat the six Green
Zols here(C5) to claim the first small key for this Dungeon then continue to
the north through the open door(C5). Kill the five Green Zols here for a
second
small key. Whoa, two already huh? With this key in Links inventory head into
the next room above to the north(C4). Defeat the three Orange Darknuts here to
claim some extra bombs then move into the room to the left(B4). Quickly move
towards the middle to avoid the two Traps that come slamming down near the
door.
Defeat all the Blue Keese before grabbing the Compass here in the middle then
go on into the next room to the left(A4) through the locked door.
Defeat the five Orange Darknuts to open the door to the south and head into
this last room below(A5). There will be six Orange Darknuts in this room but
ignore them on your way to the stairs on the east wall. Head down here, defeat
four Blue Keese and then grab the Raft as your prize. Head back upstairs,
avoid
the six Darknuts and head through the open door to the room above(A4).
Continue
north into the room above(A3) where Link will need to kill three Blue Keese
and
two Green Zols for another small key. Watch out for the Red Bubbles here while
fighting these enemies as it will leave Link without the ability to fight for
a
small period. Once the key is yours go through the open door to the right and
into the next room(B3). Link will be trapped in a block hallway so you'll have
to wait for the Blue Keese here to come near before attacking to get some
Bombs
as the prize as well as unlocking the path to the next room to the right(C3).
Defeat the three Green Zols here for yet another small key then use one of
them
on the door to the room above(C2).
Kill the two Green Zols here then push the left block in towards the right to
unlock the door above and head into the next area above(C1). Here an old man
will ask "Did you get the sword from the old man on top of the waterfall?" Why
yes, yes we did. Continue to the last room to the left(B1), grab the key in
the
middle then defeat the seven Blue Keese to unlock the door so you can
backtrack
through the old man's room(C1) then into the room below(C2) then finally one
room more below(C3). Use another small key on the door to the left and enter
the room(D3). Claim the map here in the middle(kind of late huh?) while
avoiding the Traps and Zols then head through the open door below(D4). Kill
the
three Orange Darknuts to unlock the door to the next room to the east(E4).
Here
Link will need to kill three Blue Keese and two Green Zols while avoiding a
group of Red Bubbles so that the door to the boss above will unlock as well as
leaving behind five whole rupees! Swell!
