Magic Rope

The Magic Rope is an item featured in The Crystal Trap. Princess Zelda can only obtain this item if she chooses to escape the ambush of the Boomerang Demons beneath the Midoro Palace.

After Zelda finds an escape route from the flying demons, she stumbles into the Magic Rope hanging on a wall, which leads up and out of the palace. Although at first she hesitates to use the rope since it could be enchanted with Ganon's evil magic, she uses it to climb and reach up into a corridor. Zelda, having reached the ledge high above, must then decide whether she should take the rope with her or not.

The Magic Rope is only used if Zelda chooses to go deeper into the Swamp. She eventually gets stuck in a quicksand, and the only way to get out of it is by using the magical item. Just as Zelda is about to throw it at a stump, the rope comes alive and flies up into the air, tying itself around the trunk of a tree. Zelda pulls herself from the quicksand and begins to head out of the swamp, taking the magic rope with her. If, however, Zelda didn't pick up the rope from Midoro Palace, she will die in the quicksand.
