Rarely will a conversation between two NES buffs about classic games go by
without the Legend of Zelda being mentioned. This cart was pretty much a
definition of a true NES game; it offered everything that made the NES
superior to earlier gaming machines. The largeness of the quest, the
bounty of items to be found, the varied enemies, and the ability to save
your progress were just a few of the features of this excellent game. To a
new gamer these things are taken for granted, but back in 1987 this was
insane.
A game of such nature would most certainly need a strategy guide. When
it was released Nintendo of America published a Tips and Tricks book
but you'll be hard pressed to find that. NOA also published a strategy
guide called the NES Atlas, but since that had information for a lot of
NES carts not much detail could be spent on each game. Finally, a
guide is floating around on the net. It has way too many errors
(grammatical and game related) and I found it's layout to be really
unreadable. So this is where I step in.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY [page 6]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A long, long time ago the World was in an age of Chaos. In the middle
of this chaos, in a little kingdom in the land of Hyrule, a legend was
being handed down from generation to generation, the legend of the
"Triforce"; golden triangles possessing mystical powers.
One day, an evil army attacked this peaceful little kingdom and stole
the Triforce of Power. This army was led by Ganon, the powerful
Prince of Darkness who sought to plunge the World into fear and
darkness under his rule. Fearing his wicked rule, Zelda, the princess
of this kingdom, split up the Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments
and hid them throughout the realm to save the last remaining Triforce
from the clutches of the evil Ganon. At the same time, she commanded
her most trustworthy nursemaid, Impa, to secretly escape into the land
and go find a man with enough courage to destroy the evil Ganon.
Upon hearing this, Ganon grew angry, imprisoned the princess, and sent
out a party in search of Impa.
Braving forests and mountains, Impa fled for her life from her
pursuers. As she reached the very limit of her energy she found
herself surrounded by Ganon's evil henchmen. Cornered! What could
she do? ... But wait!
All was not lost. A young lad appeared. He skillfully drove off
Ganon's henchmen, and saved Impa from a fate worse than death.
His name was Link. During his travels he had come across Impa and
Ganon's henchmen. Impa told Link the whole story of the princess Zelda
and the evil Ganon. Burning with a sense of justice, Link resolved to
save Zelda, but Ganon was a powerful opponent. He held the Triforce of
Power. And so, in order to fight off Ganon, Link had to bring the
scattered eight fragments of the Triforce of Wisdom together to
rebuild the mystical Triangle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LINK AND FRIENDS [page 8]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Link: The courageous boy who will fight to save Hyrule and Zelda.
Impa: Zelda's nursemaid who has been sent out to find a hero.
Zelda: Hyrule's Princess, she has been imprisoned by Ganon.
Old Woman: This woman will help Link out with information and her own
special brew, The Water of Life.
Old Man: He'll give Link his first sword and many hints throughout his
quest.
Merchant: These guys are Hyrule's only salesmen, and have a knack for
butchering the english language. Go to them for all of your
shopping needs.
Tektite: These spider creatures are easy to beat. Just club them with
the boomerang and finish them off with your sword.
Octorok: A walking, above ground octopus. Use the same strategy as above
but watch out for the rocks they spit at you.
Leever: Leever's use defense as their strategy: they'll move underground
when you get close. A few strikes of your sword should bring
them down before they get a chance to hide.
Peahat: Peahats are ghosts of flowers that fly around aimlessly. Avoid
the Peahats when they're moving and wait for them to stand
still. When they stop fluttering around slash them with the
sword.
Molblin: These guys are a cross between a bulldog and a goblin. They
act like the Octoroks except they'll throw spears, so use
the same strategy for both.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERWORLD ENEMIES(continued) [page 10]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Armos: Armos are soldiers turned into to stone(probably by Bowser).
They'll remain motionless until you touch them, at which point
they start running around. Avoid the Armos unless there's a
passage or item underneath them.
Ghini: These ghosts live in Hyrule's graveyard. Each graveyard has one
leader who you must defeat in order to destroy the other Ghinis.
The other Ghinis come from the tombstones you touch.
Lynel: The toughest enemy in the Overworld, Lynels are centaur-like
creatures who guard Death Mountain. Make sure you have the
Magic Shield because your regular shield can't block their
swords.
Zola: Zola is a cross between a woman and a fish who lives in Hyrule's
lakes. She'll stick her head out of the water and shoot a
magic ball that your regular shield can't block.
Zol: These blobs of jelly just slide around without much attack power.
When you strike a Zol, he splits into two smaller blobs called
Gels. Not much strategy needed; just hack away.
Rope: This poisonous snake is pretty weak. Use the same strategy as for
the Zols.
Keese: Keese are bats who live in the labyrinths. They follow the same
flying pattern as Peahats, except you can hit them any time.
Vire: A devil like creature who controls the Keese. When you strike
him he'll split into two red Keese.
Stalfos: This skeletal warrior is super weak. He doesn't even use his
swords to attack, so beating him is a breeze.
Wall Master: A large hand that hangs around the boss room in the
labyrinths. Make sure he doesn't catch you because he'll
carry you back to the entrance.
Goriya: A mousey creature who attacks with his boomerang. Goryia's most
vulnerable when attacking because he stands still, so strike him
then.
Wizzrobe: These magicians are really strong. They disappear and then
suddenly reappear and attack with a magic spell. Wait until
they appear and attack from the side so you don't get hit
by their shots.
Darknut: A heavily armored knight and one of the most feared enemies in
Hyrule. Don't believe the hype, just attack them from the side
or back while avoiding contact.
Pols Voice: This creature is a ghost with big ears. Shooting them with
one arrow is your best strategy, because it takes three hits
from the most powerful sword to bring Pols down.
Lanmola: Just an overgrown centipede. You'll have the Magic Wand by
the time you run into him so it should be real easy to get
rid of Lanmola.
Like-Like: The most retched creature in the land of Hyrule. He loves
the taste of Magic Shields so avoid contact at all costs.
Stun him with the boomerang and then quickly slash him
with your sword.
Gibdo: Your everyday mummy with very weak attack power.
Moldorm: This worm is made up of little fireballs linked together. Just
hack away with your sword to bring him down.
Patra: You'll encounter this flying eyeball in Level 9. Attack the outside
ring of Patras to get to the main man inside. He's not so tough
now without his guardians.
Bubble: This spirit of the dead is unstoppable, so make sure you avoid it.
If you get hit you won't be able to use your sword for a few
moments.
Traps: These are easy to avoid. Move close so that they'll activate, and
when they're moving back to their original positions walk on
by.
Stone Statues: Some of these actually shoot magic balls at you, but most
just sit motionless.
Aquamentus: This weak dragon guards the Triforce in Level 1 and Level 7.
Strike him in the head while blocking his magic beams with
your shield.
Dodongo: A rhinoceros with a very thick hide. The only way to defeat
this creature is to place two bombs in his mouth.
Manhandla: A four-handed man eating flower. It's only weak spot is in
it's hands, so aim your attacks towards there. A well placed
bomb in the center of it's body can take it out in one blast.
Gleeok: This multiple-headed dragon spits beams at Link. As you attack
it, the decapitated heads will float around and try to collide
into you. The best strategy is to hack away with no defense.
Digdogger: Digdogger's are large sea urchins who shrivel up when they
hear high pitched tones. After using the whistle, attack
the small Digdogger with your sword.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSSES(continued) [page 17]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gohma: A large crab who's weak spot is it's eye. A perfectly aimed
arrow will take him out in one shot.
Ganon: The main man himself. Strike him when he's invisible to make
him appear, and then shoot him with a silver arrow when he
turns red.
Magical Clock: If you defeat an enemy who holds this item, it will freeze
the actions of all the other enemies. You can now defeat
them without worrying about being attacked.
Map and Compass: These are found only in the labyrinths; The map shows
you what the dungeon looks like and the compass shows
you where the triforce is located.

After finding the Power Bracelet, Link can warp around the Overworld by
pushing certain blocks. These blocks are found in the following
locations: 1 A10
2 G14
3 F4
4 D10
When Link reveals the passage and descends, there will be 3 paths he can
take. The first path will warp him ahead 1 passage, the second 2 passages,
and the third 3 passages. For example, if Link is at A10 and goes down
the second passage, he will end up at F4.
Link can refill all of his heart containers if he finds these fairys. Just
walk towards the pond and the fairy will do her magic. The two locations
are D4 and E10.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL ENTRANCES [page 37]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some areas in the Land of Hyrule that aren't passable...that is
unless you know how to navigate them.
The Lost Woods are located in the west at B2. If you find yourself here
and want to exit, there are two choices. The west exit, which leads to
the graveyard, is only passable if you go north, west, south, west.
The east exit is much easier: Just take the east path.
The Lost Hills have similar properties. If you want to go north to Level
5, then just take the north path five times. If want to exit the Lost
Hills, take the west path.
The Secret Pond is located at D3 and hides the entrance to Level 7. To
Freeze this water over, just blow the Whistle. Some stairs will appear
to the left which lead down to the Labyrinth.
We'll do most of our item gathering in Part 1, so if this list looks large
don't worry. Equipping Link with the strongest sword and shield plus
the most life will make the rest of the quest much easier.
1. Get The Sword
There will be a cave in the section you start out at. Enter to see the
Old Man who has your first sword.

After acquiring the letter, travel back to B7. By this time you should
have at least 60 rupees to buy the Blue Candle.

the boulder in the center of the screen.

Battle all the way up to H11 and watch out for the Lynel when you get
there. After defeating him walk into the cave and grab the sword.
8. The Power Bracelet
Work your way to F5(this requires going through the Lost Woods). There
should be a bunch of Armos standing around, and you'll want to push

Hyrule at 250 rupees, so you might want to visit some Generous

9. The Final Battle
Upon emerging at (2, 2) you'll have to battle a Patra; after killing it
go up to face Ganon! He's pretty easy to destroy if you know his
weak spot. He'll come on the screen and then immediately disappear.
Stab him and he'll reappear; do this a couple of times and then he
turns red. Fire a single Silver Arrow into his skull belt to return
peace to Hyrule...at least until The Adventure of Link.
In the last game guide I wrote(Milon's Secret Castle), I complained that
the ending was really dull. Remembering back nine years ago when I first
beat the Legend Of Zelda, I recall this super extended closing scene with
all of these great pictures...but that isn't the case at all. Zelda tells
you that you're the hero, you get to see the team credits(which puts it
one notch above Milon), and that there's another quest to be had. So my
point is this: Don't be so adamant about finishing every game you come
across. Have fun PLAYING the game instead. The reason I was so happy nine
years ago is because it was so neat to figure out all of Hyrule's secrets,
not because I rushed through to watch the ending. I'll leave that to the
PlayStation crowd.
