Level 5
For The Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
From the official guides
The Darknuts are the enemies that'll give you the hardest time in level 5 of the underworld mazes. There are only two rooms that the Darknuts are in, but these two rooms are the toughest of all the rooms in level 5. Even for an advanced player, it's hard to beat all the Darknuts because the room is filled with so many of them. It's almost impossible to get through these two rooms, even for an advanced player, without the Water of Life.
Hmm, the labyrinths are getting bigger and more complicated. This one has lots of dark rooms, but you also find plenty of treasure. Having to fight blue Darknuts to the death twice before you get the Recorder is hard.
With one dark room after another in the Lizard labyrinth (Level 5), things look pretty dark. Blow the Recorder and cheer up!!
Level 5, the Lizard Labyrinth, is inside ruins on the mountain on the right side of Hyrule. The way in front of these ruins is a maze path, though.
In LEVEL-5 strong enemies appear that the attacks you have used so far can't beat. Study the old men's messages closely and find a way to attack.
By Level 5 the labyrinths get quite hard. This one asks for clever tactics as well as skill.
Study the weak points of the tough enemies. The eye of the map has a secret room too.
A labyrinth whose overall shape looks like the katakana タ. Even the shortest route to the Triforce runs through ten rooms. And the characters waiting for Link inside are all guys you can't beat the easy way!
The Level 5 labyrinth is shaped like a lizard. Old men who give advice are near the entrance and toward the top. The Recorder is hidden underground at the very top. The Triforce is in the upper left room.
