From the official guides

The eighth Underworld maze has a simple layout, so there's no need to worry about getting lost. Its overall shape is similar to the profile of a lion's head.

The Legend of Zelda Tips and Tactics (Tokuma Shoten Publishing for Nintendo of America, 1987), p. 93

It is somewhere in N-7, and if you cleared Level 7 you will find it right away. Inside, Manhandlas come one after another. Then those Darknuts, blue ones no less, guard the checkpoint in a group. It will be a hard fight!

ゼルダの伝説 (二見書房, 1986), p. 61, 101Leafy's translation

The Lion labyrinth (Level 8) holds two treasures. It has lots of secrets too, so have fun!!

ゼルダの伝説 必勝攻略ガイド (新星出版社, 1986), p. 61, 101Leafy's translation

Where is the entrance to Level 8, the Lion Labyrinth? You should have been given the hint quite a while ago. It was in a cave in the overworld. One more thing: use the candle.

The enemies here are not that strong. But the labyrinth is a true maze! Even with the Compass and Map, the Triforce won't come easily.

ファミリーコンピュータ必勝シリーズ1 ゼルダの伝説 (ミリオン出版, 1986), p. 72, 101Leafy's translation

At last you have reached the Level 8 labyrinth. Get the last piece of the Triforce here!

ゼルダの伝説 (秋田書店, 1986), p. 84, 101Leafy's translation

Now get the last piece of the Triforce of Wisdom!

ゼルダの伝説 (双葉社, 1986), p. 102, 101Leafy's translation

Level 8 is a labyrinth shaped like a lion. It has a great many rooms, so unless you remember them well, it is hard to clear.
