Dungeon floor maps 6 floors
Choose a floor, then enlarge its map. Stairs, treasure chests and passages are annotated on the original game maps.
In the Lost Woods, reach the pedestal clearing. With the three pendants, remove Master Sword; the other swords in the wood are decoys.
Follow Zelda's call to the Sanctuary. The rescue now continues at the top of the castle.
On the upper terrace of the castle, hit the magic barrier with Master Sword and enter the tower.
Go up, light the dark rooms and eliminate the guards to get the keys. Pots serve as weapons and contain resources.
After the scene with Zelda, cut the curtain behind Agahnim to access his arena.
Return his appropriate attacks until he is defeated. You are transported to the top of the Pyramid.
If Link remains a rabbit, return to Hera for the Moon Pearl. The Mirror returns to the Light and leaves a temporary return portal.
Agahnim
Stand in front of him to return the big balls. When it moves to the top center to summon lightning, move off its axis. The sword does not directly harm him.
