Level 8

Lion Labyrinth is the eighth labyrinth in The Legend of Zelda. This is the first or two white-colored dungeons, and is located under a lone tree that blocks Link's path in a southeastern forest. The Lion Labyrinth is populated by Darknuts, although they're not too menacing if Link already has the Magic Sword. Like in the very first dungeon of the game (Eagle Labyrinth), two dungeon items can be won here: The first is the Magic Book, which gives the wave beams of the Magic Rod the additional property of burning their targets, therefore rendering the Candle entirely and decidedly useless for the rest of the game; the second major item is the Magical Key, which can open infinite doors, therefore rendering the dungeon keys completely unnecessary from now on. Interestingly, the dungeon is relatively close to the second dungeon (Moon Labyrinth), but there are no clues on where it actually is, so it's up to Link to discover it. The boss is a four-headed Gleeok, considered to be the toughest so far.

Second Quest
The eight dungeon is located west of the desert, accessible only by exploding a part of the northern wall with a bomb and then crossing the river with the Stepladder; this dungeon structurally resemmbles a vortex similar to the spiral from the previous dungeon, but bigger and differently positioned. It's green colored, and it's also extremely more complex than the other dungeons in the game due to the countless underground passages leading to dead-ends or even the very entrance of the place, although some passages do favor the exploration. It is adviced to bring food, because there is a hungry Goriya ready to mercilessly hinder the already difficult exploration. The two main treasure are the Magic Rod (which finally gives use to the Magic Book found in the fourth dungeon) and the Magical Key. This dungeon is the final obstacle before Ganon's whereabouts, and it's populated by numerous Dodongos (in fact, three of them are the bosses of the level).
