The '''Desert of Mystery''' is a massive [[Desert (Disambiguation)|Desert]] located in the southwest corner of [[Hyrule]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''.


The Desert landscape allows for several types of enemies to find their proper habitat. [[Link]] will encounter [[Geldman]], sand creatures that make their living underneath the sand and will only come up to attack Link. Enemy Vultures also stand perched on top of Cacti in the desert, waiting for Link to draw near before they attack.

There is a cave at the northeast corner of the Desert where [[Aginah]] can be found. He is a descendant of the [[Seven Sages]] and the brother of [[Sahasrahla (A Link to the Past)|Sahasrahla]]. Link can place a bomb along the southern wall to reach a room containing a [[Piece of Heart]].

At the southwest corner of the Desert there is a higher platform that is only accessible if Link plays the [[Flute]] and warps to this location. Link can use the [[Titan's Mitt]] to lift the heavy rock to find a [[Magical Warp Tile]]. This serves as an entrance to the [[Swamp of Evil]], the corresponding location of the Desert in the [[Dark World]]. This warp tile is the only way to reach the Swamp of Evil and the dungeon located there, [[Misery Mire]].

Right at the entrance to the Desert of Mystery there is a [[Tablet]] on a higher ledge. Link can only access this Tablet from the Dark World using the [[Magic Mirror]]. Link can use the [[Book of Mudora]] to read the tablet and will then hold up the [[Master Sword]]. Link acquires the [[Bombos Medallion]] and the Tablet will then be destroyed. This is the final of the [[Magic Medallions]] that Link can acquire and is also an optional item.

The main attraction is the entrance to the [[Desert Palace]], the location of the [[Pendant of Wisdom]]. Link will need to use the Book of Mudora to read the stone in front of the entrance. This will cause Link to sing a tune, shifting the rocks in front of the Palace, and allowing Link to enter.

In the middle of the dungeon, Link will head back outside to the Desert of Mystery. It is here where he will have access to the higher cliff at the west end of the Desert where a Piece of Heart can be found.
