Steps
- In a cave on Death Mountain, a lost old man asks Link to take him up the mountain. He has lost his lamp.
- From then on he follows Link. Further on in the cave he stops three times to talk.
- At one spot out on Death Mountain he thanks Link, gives him the Magic Mirror, and walks off.
- Once Link has the Magic Mirror, the old man is no longer in the cave where he was lost.
- He lives in another cave on Death Mountain. Each time Link talks to him there, he fills Link's hearts. His advice changes once Link has the Moon Pearl, and again after Agahnim is beaten.

Old Man
I don't know who you are, but if you are going to go up the mountain, will you take me with you? I lost my lamp, so…
Uhhh… Watch your step. There are holes in the ground. Could you turn right here? Young man, are you also going to the mountain to look for the Golden Power? Just ahead is a mountain full of monsters. Many people have vanished in this mountain while looking for the Golden Power. I don't want to steer you wrong, so please don't get too involved in such a mad quest.
Uhh… There must be a Heart in the bottle.
Uhh… Turn right here… … You know, I have a granddaughter who is your age… The King took her to the castle and she never returned. Kidnapping those maidens must be part of the wizard's plot! I'm sure he is trying to somehow use the power of the descendants of the wise men…
The missing maidens are still alive somewhere. I believe that a Hero will rescue them… I wait for that day… Uhh… These are dangerous times… I talked too much. Anyway… Thank you for your kindness to an old man like me. Uhh… I wanted to give you this. If you wander into a magical transporter, gaze into this mirror.
The wizard has deceived the King, and now he is trying to open the way to the Dark World. To complete your quest, you will need the Moon Pearl, which is in the tower on top of the mountain. All I can do for you now is to comfort your weariness… Come back here any time.
The Moon Pearl will protect its bearer from the magical air of the Golden Land, so you can keep your human shape there. All I can do for you now is comfort your weariness… Come back here any time.
Link, I think the wizard connected the two worlds somewhere around the castle. All I can do for you now is to comfort your weariness… Come back here any time.
