GRAPHIC WALKTHROUGH v1.0
Welcome to NES WORLD's GRAPHICAL WALKTHROUGH for the NES game THE LEGEND OF ZELDA. Finally many hours of hard work have been put on-line, hope you like it. We have used parts of Alan Mitsugi's and our own text FAQ along with the graphics. If you have any comments, then feel free to e-mail us. Now let's get started... :)
We have used the icons above on the level maps, you need to learn them to understand the maps. When you enter, go right. Get a key from killing one of the stalfos (you can see one with some yellow on it). Go left 2 times and kill the Keeses for another key. Go right, then up Kill the stalfos, then go up. Kill those sketelon dudes once more for another key. Go right, grab the compass (Kill the bats if you want you). Go left 2 times, Kill the bats. Go north, and kill the gels. Go right, get the map (kill the gels if you want to), then go right. Kill all 3 goriyas to get the wooden boomerang. Go left and then north. Kill more stalfos to get another key. Go north and kill the goriyas. Go left. Goto the left side of the diamond stones and push on the leftmost stone to get access to the stairs and grab the bow. Return to where you got the boomerang (right, down, down, right) and then go right. Grab the key and head north (if you get caught by the hands, you will be sent back to the beginning). Kill the dragon by stabbing his head (about 6 times with regular sword, 3 times with white sword) and get a heart container. Go right, to get 1st triforce piece. When you enter, go right. Kill the snakes for a key. Go up and kill more snakes, then go right and get rid of the gels for the compass. Go left and keep going left until you cannot go anymore. Destory all the foes will get you a key. Go right 2 screens and then go up. Kill the goriyas and go right. Kill the gels, get the map, and bomb the north wall. Go up and kill the goriyas, while avoiding all the fire shots from the statue and obtain the metal boomerang. Depart quickly to the left. Get the key after defeating the snakes here. Go up, and beat the moldorms for another key. Go right and use boomerand on the keese. Go left then up, killing the snakes. If you go right, destroy the gel and then go up, you will find information on how to kill the Dodongo, then go down and left. Go up and beat up more goriyas and go north. Here you face two Dodongo. What weapon above gives off smoke? BOMBS!!! To destory them, they must each swallow 2 bombs. The best way to do this is to place the bombs in front of them. Defeat both for a heart container. Go left for the 2nd triforce piece. Enter and go left, stab the Zols and get a key. Go up and kill more Zols and get another key. Go north and attack the Darknuts (remember you can only hit them from the back or the sides, they block frontal assults). Go left and kill the kesse for a compass. Go left and dispatch the darknuts, then go down. In this room you have 2 options (either of which you must get to the stairs), you can fight out the darknuts (using sword and bombs) or be brave and just run to the stairs. There you will get the raft. Upon reamerging, go up 2 screens. Get the keys from amidst the puffs. Go right. Slay the Zols for a key, and go up. Slay more zols, the move the stone and go left. This screen you will find out info on the white sword (useless if you got it already). Go left and kill the foes for another key. Retrace to where you got the previous key (right then down 2 screens) and go right. Nullify the zols for the map. Go down and stab the darknuts. Go right, and survive the onslaught. Survive this and go up to battle the Mandandlas. Use bombs and sword to destory all 4 heads for a heart container. Go north and get the 3rd triforce piece. Enter and go left. Kill the keese for a key. Go right then up. Kill the vire, then candle in hand, go right. Light the room, kill the vire and get a compass. Go left then up, getting a key after killing for keeses, then go left, using candle, and kill more vire. Next room you will find Zols and a key for getting them all. Go up then right. Kill the vire and go right to face Likes Likes (Avoid at all costs, getting eaten by these loses your Large Shield). Kill them all and then push stone and take stairs to get ladder. Leave and go left 2 screens then go up. Kill more vire then go up and destroy the Mandandlas like you did in the last dungeon. Go up and find out a clue about walking into a waterfall in location G11 (you won't need to do this until the next dungeon, but if you read this FAQ, you will find out the information anyhow). With candle in "B", go right. Kill the keese to get a key. Use candle in room to the right to help avoid the spikes. Still with candle, go down. Fight the vire and then move the stone and enter. This dragon is tough, just keep stabbing it, while avoiding the other heads and fireballs. Destory it and get a heart container. Go up to get the 4th triforce piece. Enter and go right. Use the bow and arrow down the Pols Voices and get a key. Go left then up, candle lit, and kill those mummies called Gibdo for a key. Go right for the clue (Using the whistle to battle Digdoggers), go left and bomb left wall. Go left and unwrap the Gibdo. Bomb the left wall and enter. Use bombs and sword to fight the darknuts. Shove the stone and enter the stairs. Let's call the area POINT 1. You will not find any foes or goodies in this new chambre (Let's Call this POINT 2). This next part is VERY IMPORTANT. Go left, fighting off the darknuts, there are many and all are tough. Clear them all, move the stone and take the stairs to get the whistle. Leave, and go right, then go down, kill the keese for a key then bomb the right wall and enter, Increase your bomb capacity to 12. Go back to POINT 2, by going left and up. Enter staircase to go back to POINT 1. Pass through the bombed walls (right, right) until you are on the screen just above the entrance. Go up and use bombs against the foes there. Go left. Kill zols for a key, go right 2 screens, using candle in 2nd screen to help kill zols. Go up. Slay the mummies, get the key, go left and use candle to find the path to the map. Go right then up and light candle. Kill the darknuts for the compass and continue going up (still with candle in hand). Defeat foes for a key, go left and defeat the gibdos for another key. Go left and use the bow and arrows here. Go left one more time for Digdogger. Use the whistle to break the big Digdogger into several little ones and slash the little ones with your sword. Get the heart container for killing them all. Go up for the 5th triforce piece.
