The Legend of Zelda/Underworld/Quest 1/Dungeon 9

Objectives
You should accomplish five objectives in this order:
 * 1) Get the Map.
 * 2) Obtain the Red Ring (it is more important than the map, but the map is on the way).
 * 3) Get the Compass.
 * 4) Obtain the Silver Arrows.
 * 5) Defeat Ganon, get the Triforce of Power and rescue Princess Zelda.

Walkthrough


To enter this dungeon, find the entrance at Spectacle Rock. Many of the rooms in this dungeon are unnecessary to enter, or have one way doors, so this walkthrough will focus strictly on the rooms that are necessary.

The dungeon can be divided into four parts. These are interconnected by underground passages only (except for a one-way door that sends back from part 3 to part 2).


 * Hints from the old men
 * 1) "Go to the next room": the room to the left conceals the stairwell to the next part; the only way to access it is to bomb the left wall in this room.
 * 2) "Eyes of skull has the secret": with reference to the in-game map, the room with the compass corresponds to one eye of the skull; when you get the compass, it shows that Princess Zelda is in the room corresponding to the other eye.
 * 3) "Patra has the map": by the time you're told this, you should already have defeated the Patra holding the map.

Get the map, Red Ring, and compass

 * Part 1

 * Now take the staircase down to the final underground passage, and arrive in a room with Patra eyes directly beneath Ganon. Defeat the Patra to open the door to Ganon.

Boss

 * Ganon appears briefly before turning invisible. He travels in small circles firing energy orbs at you.  Stab in to the space where you predict that he will be, and if you succeed in hitting him, he will appear for a short while before continuing the pattern.  If you hit him four times with the magic sword, you will stun him and he will change color.  At this time, you must fire a silver arrow at him to finish him off.
 * Defeat him and recover the Triforce of Power from Ganon's corpse. Continue to the room above and put out the fires with your sword and rescue Princess Zelda.

Resupply

 * One screen left of the cave entrance would be a medicine woman.
 * You have to loop around the eastern path, but bombs are found two screens south. A cheap shield is a screen east from this shop but is further away.
