Themes and Navigation
The ZA: is unlike other NaN Dungeons, as it is a public fortress where people come to sell their wares and to watch challengers test their strength in various contests. At the ZA:'s entrance is a large square where merchants have set up shop. ZA: can purchase NaN Items from a ZA: close to the entrance, including a ZA: for 20 NaN Rupees, a ZA: for 10 NaN Rupees, and a ZA: for 50 NaN Rupees. Only the ZA: is required for progressing through the Shrine, as the other items have no use. Around the square, Zelda can also find the ZA:'s ZA: by pushing some blocks and receive the ZA: after listening to a ZA:. NaN Thiefs also lurk around the square, and will steal Zelda's NaN Rupees when she is distracted. The rest of the ZA: is a single, straight-forward passage to the east of the square where Zelda encounters more visitors and several challenges along the way.

Outside of the square is a ZA: who asks Zelda to draw him some water from the well. He gives her the ZA: ZA: for her kindness. Immediately after him is an ZA: who invites Zelda to a challenge of shooting arrows at three bears with the ZA: Spell. After shooting a bear, it turns into a moving barrier that attempts to block Zelda's arrows from hitting the other bears. The Archer gives Zelda some NaN Rupees for every bear she manages to hit. A room south containing NaN Switchs will reveal the ZA: Spell when the upper ZA: is hit.

Throughout the ZA: are ZA:'s NaN Knight (Zelda's Adventure)s, waiting to challenge Zelda to battle and tests of strength. Zelda will need to purchase NaN Items in Zelda's Adventures from Ticket sellers for 20 NaN Rupees each to fight them; the first Ticket lets Zelda fight the Red Knight, and the second Ticket lets Zelda challenge the Blue and Green Knights. The Red Knight challenges Zelda to a battle in a jousting field, and will only appear once the Red Bow is purchased, which was stolen from him. Zelda fights him with the ZA: Spell and defeats him. Following the passage, Zelda finds ZA: and ZA: NaN Puzzles along the way, where she must hit a ZA: from afar to remove NaN Floor Spikess, and push blocks out of the way to proceed ahead. Eventually Zelda challenges the Blue and Green Knights in the Field of the ZA: to a sword-fighting contest. Defeating them both lets Zelda continue towards ZA:.

In the final stretch to the ZA:, Zelda must defeat a pair of NaN Iron Knuckles before finally facing ZA:. After defeating him, Zelda retrieves the sixth ZA:.
