The Legend of Zelda Dungeons: Difference between revisions

Level 1: The Eagle is the first [[dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. It is found to the northwest of the [[Starting Screen]], and is easily the easiest dungeon of the game. The main items [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] can obtain in this dungeon are the [[Bow]] and [[Boomerang]]. Additionally, the [[Boss]] of The Eagle is [[Aquamentus (The Legend of Zelda)|Aquamentus]]. The reward for defeating Aquamentus, and collectively the dungeon, is the first [[Triforce Shard]].

Level 2: The Moon is the second dungeon in ''The Legend of Zelda''. It is slightly more difficult than The Eagle, but is rather simple compared to later dungeons. The main item in this dungeon is actually an upgrade to a previous item, namely the [[Magical Boomerang]]. The Boss of The Moon is a [[Dodongo (The Legend of Zelda)|Dodongo]], and once the Dodongo has been defeated Link can collect the second Triforce Shard.

Level 3: The Manji is the third dungeon in ''The Legend of Zelda''. It is found west of the Starting Screen, near the [[Lost Woods]]. The main item Link can collect in this dungeon is called the [[Raft]], and it has only one use; it allows Link to cross large bodies of water. This item is required to enter the next dungeon. Furthermore, the Boss of The Manji is the first appearance of [[Manhandla (The Legend of Zelda)|Manhandla]]. Manhandla is guarding the third Triforce Shard, which can be collected once Manhandla has been defeated.

Level 4: The Snake is the fourth dungeon in ''The Legend of Zelda''. It is only accessible via the Raft, which is found inside of Level 3. The main item Link can collect in this dungeon is similar to Raft, and is called the [[Stepladder]]. It is used to cross small gaps, instead of large ones. It is required to complete most of the later dungeons. The Snake is the first dungeon in ''The Legend of Zelda'' to feature a [[Mini-Boss]], namely, Manhandla. The Boss is [[Gleeok (The Legend of Zelda)|Gleeok]], and once Gleeok has been defeated Link can collect the fourth Triforce Shard.

Level 7: The Demon is the seventh dungeon in ''The Legend of Zelda''. Its entrance is hidden, and is only found if Link plays the Recorder while on the correct screen. The main item of this dungeon is the [[Candle|Red Candle]], which is an upgrade to the optional [[Candle|Blue Candle]] that can be bought from the [[Item Shop]]s found across [[Hyrule]]. This dungeon is the first to feature multiple mini-bosses; three to be exact. Digdogger is the mini-boss of this dungeon, and appears three times. The boss of The Demon is Aquamentus, a returning Boss from Level 1: The Eagle. This dungeon hides the seventh Triforce Shard.

Level 8: The Lion is the eighth and penultimate dungeon in ''The Legend of Zelda''. Its entrance is concealed by a bush, which must be burnt down using the Candle. There are two items Link can find in this dungeon. First, there is the [[Book of Magic]], which is an upgrade to the Magical Rod. Also, Link can find the [[Magical Key]]. Neither one is required to complete the game. This dungeon features five mini-bosses; three Manhandlas and two Gohmas. The Boss of The Lion is Gleeok, who is guarding the eighth Triforce Shard.

Level 9: Death Mountain is the ninth and final dungeon in ''The Legend of Zelda''. It is the lair of [[Ganon]], and can only be entered once Link has fully restored the Triforce of Wisdom. There are two items Link can find in this dungeon. Firstly, Link can find the [[Red Ring (The Legend of Zelda)|Red Ring]], which is an upgrade to his tunic that sustains more damage. The second is the [[Silver Arrow]], which is required to defeat Ganon. The Boss of this dungeon is Ganon, and defeating him saves [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] and completes the game.

Level 3 of the Second Quest is in the same location as Level 2 was in the first quest. [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] has to play the [[Recorder]] to reveal the dungeon entrance. Inside, the dungeon item is the [[Magical Boomerang]]. The room with the Magical Boomerang is blocked by a hungry [[Goriya]], so [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] needs to have [[Food]] with him. The dungeon boss is three [[Dodongo (The Legend of Zelda)|Dodongo]]s.

Level 8 of the Second Quest is located one screen left of the waterfall below [[Death Mountain]]. To find the entrance, [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] must use the [[Stepladder]] to stand on the river and bomb the wall at the correct spot. This dungeon houses a hungry [[Goriya]], so be sure to have some [[Food]]. The dungeon items are the [[Magical Rod]] and the [[Magical Key]]. There are many mini-bosses here, which include multiple [[Digdogger (The Legend of Zelda)|Digdoggers]], [[Aquamentus (The Legend of Zelda)|Aquamentus]] and many rooms containing three [[Dodongo (The Legend of Zelda)|Dodongo]]s. The final boss of the dungeon is also three Dodongos.

Level 9 of the Second Quest is located in the northwestern-most square on the map. [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] must bomb the wall to find the entrance. This dungeon can be very confusing with many one-ways and hidden passages through walls. As it was in the first quest, the dungeon items are again the [[Red Ring (The Legend of Zelda)|Red Ring]] and the [[Silver Arrow]]s. Navigate your way through the dungeon to find and defeat [[Ganon]] and rescue [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]].
