From the official guides
Level 3 is set up to be a very difficult level compared to the rather easy levels of 1 and 2. First of all, Darknut appears for the first time. He is a very powerful enemy for you. Darknut can easily block your forward attacks with his shield. Manhandla, one of the huge enemies, is also a tough enemy that you encountered in level 2.
The theme of this labyrinth is the fight with the Darknuts. They are tough! Beat them, go further in, and you finally get the Raft. With it you can reach Level 4.
If it weren't for the Darknuts, the Manji labyrinth (Level 3) would be peaceful. What do you say!
The Manji Labyrinth (Level 3) is inside ruins on the left side of Hyrule, toward the bottom. This one is not hard to find either. Fill up your energy at a fairy fountain and do not forget to bring a potion.
By LEVEL-3 the enemies get stronger and more numerous. The rooms with the Compass and Map are spread out, so think hard about your route.
There are secrets at the tips of its three arms! The map is complicated, so keep your route simple.
Among the notes on each labyrinth that Impa passed on to Link was a manji, and it shows the shape of this Level 3 labyrinth. The main enemies here are Darknuts, Zols, and Keese. The Darknuts are especially tough. There is also a room with an old man, so pay him a visit; he should give you some advice. This labyrinth has a basement too, so go down into it. The Raft is there, an item you need to reach Level 4.
Level 3 is shaped like a manji. The Raft is hidden underground in the lower left room, and the Triforce is in the upper right room.
