GAME 1
DungeonAdviceExplanation
1 EASTMOST PENNINSULA
IS THE SECRET.
The tableau in the northeast corner of Hyrule appears to be inaccessible. You can reach it by walking through the cliff at the top of the tableau below. The cave has a moblin with 100 rupies.
2 DODONGO DISLIKES SMOKE. This famous warning means that you can kill Dodongo by placing bombs where it will eat them.
3 DID YOU GET THE SWORD
FROM THE OLD MAN ON
TOP OF THE WATERFALL?
The tableau with the waterfall has a stair to a tableau with a pond and a cave. In the cave is an old man with the White Sword. If you have at least 5 container hearts, he will let you take it.
4 WALK INTO THE
WATERFALL.
In the waterfall is a cave entrance. In the cave is an old woman who will sell you a piece of advice.
5 SECRET POWER IS SAID
TO BE IN THE ARROW.
Be vewy, vewy quiet—I'm hunting wabbits!
DIGDOGGER HATES
CERTAIN KIND OF SOUND.
Digdogger is the boss monster in Dungeon 5. It looks nothing like a dog, but like a dog it responds to the sound of a whistle. You can harm it only after using the Magic Whistle.
6 THERE ARE SECRETS WHERE
FAIRIES DON'T LIVE.
A fairy pond in the west of Hyrule has no fairy. To find Dungeon 7, play the Magic Whistle there.
AIM AT THE EYES
OF GOHMA.
Gohma is the boss monster of Dungeon 6. You can harm it only by shooting an arrow into its open eye.
7 THERE'S A SECRET IN
THE TIP OF THE NOSE.
The map of Dungeon 7 looks like a demon's head with its jaws wide open. The northeast corner is the tip of its nose. You can reach it by bombing a wall. It contains a stair to another part of the dungeon.
8 SPECTACLE ROCK IS
AN ENTRANCE TO DEATH.
In the mountains is a tableau with two big rock formations that make it look like a pair of spectacles. Use a bomb to find the entrance to the final dungeon, Death Mountain.
10TH ENEMY HAS THE BOMB. If you kill ten enemies without taking damage, and kill the tenth with a bomb, it will drop bombs.
Death
Mountain
ONES WHO DOES NOT HAVE
TRIFORCE CAN'T GO IN.
You can proceed only if you have all eight Triforce pieces.
PATRA HAS THE MAP. To get the map of the Death Mountain dungeon, defeat the minor boss monster Patra on the east side of the dungeon.
GO TO THE NEXT ROOM. The old man is in a room whose left wall can be bombed.
EYES OF SKULL
HAS A SECRET.
The dungeon map looks like a skull. Its eastern eye is a secret room that you can enter by bombing it from the north. It contains the compass. The skull's western eye conceals Princess Zelda. You can enter it only after defeating Gannon.
