Level 1

Level 1 is the easiest maze of all of the nine Underworld mazes. No matter how many times Link gets hurt in level 1, the Life Hearts will turn red again and Link will be able to start over from the entrance. It's easy to clear level 1 even if Link doesn't have a lot of energy. Since the hearts recover automatically, Link is able to clear level 1 easily without the help of the Water of Life.

Your first underground labyrinth keeps your heart pounding. The music that sounded like a march above ground turns eerie down here. But if Level 1 scares you, the rest will be hard going!

The first labyrinth (Level 1) holds two treasures. Blast away all those monsters you are meeting for the first time!!

Level 1, the Eagle Labyrinth, is on an island four screens up from the starting point. To get in you have to go around the lake shore and cross the bridge on the right. The hole in the big tree is the labyrinth entrance!

The easiest labyrinth, but still quite tough. Get all your LIFE hearts red so you can use the sword beam. Without the beam you'll have a hard time.

First, into the first labyrinth! Are you ready for the unknown enemies inside?

If you've been fumbling with the enemies so far, the labyrinths will be hard going. Among the underground enemies are plenty of guys much tougher than Octoroks or Leevers. But unless Link goes into the labyrinths, he can never defeat Ganon, because the pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom are all hidden in rooms somewhere in the labyrinths. Get through them with your guts and skill, and take the Triforce pieces.

Level 1 is shaped like an eagle. Once inside, go through the rooms in order from the bottom. The rooms hold keys, the Map, and other things, so be sure to take them.
