From the official guides

Finally you've reached the last maze. The second room from the entrance to level 9 contains a little old man. If you haven't assembled all the parts of the Triforce, he will not let you pass. This maze is the largest one yet and extremely intricate. Some rooms lead to shortcuts and some rooms lead nowhere. So, to keep from getting lost, you had better make a map as you explore. All you have to do is to make the map and you'll be through level 9 in no time.

The Legend of Zelda Tips and Tactics (Tokuma Shoten Publishing for Nintendo of America, 1987), p. 96

Level 9 is the hardest. The passages tangle together and it is warp after warp after warp. Even once you are inside Level 9, it is hard to make progress. But get through it and you become a hero. Go for it, Link!

ゼルダの伝説 (二見書房, 1986), p. 67, 101Leafy's translation

The entrance to the labyrinth must be somewhere. Try all sorts of things here and there! Death Mountain (Level 9) feels like it is going to be a ton of fun.

At last, Death Mountain (Level 9), where the demon king Ganon lives. You cannot get in unless you have every piece of the Triforce of Wisdom. There should have been a hint about where Death Mountain is inside the Lion Labyrinth (Level 8).

At last, the fight with the great demon king Ganon! There are so many rooms that finding Ganon is hard, but you'll be fine if you use the warps well. Defeat Ganon and rescue Princess Zelda!

Finally, the last labyrinth, Level 9. Ganon and Princess Zelda are somewhere inside!

ゼルダの伝説 (秋田書店, 1986), p. 86, 101Leafy's translation

Even its skull outline is eerie... the last labyrinth, ruled by the great demon king Ganon!

ゼルダの伝説 (双葉社, 1986), p. 106, 101Leafy's translation

This is the last level. You have all eight pieces of the Triforce, right? Without them you can't enter the Level 9 labyrinth. Like Level 8, Level 9 has many rooms, and it is full of strong enemies.
