Stepladder

The Stepladder is an item found only in The Legend of Zelda.

Location and Uses
The Stepladder is an environment-active item, meaning it is used automatically when Link's environment allows for its use. There is no need to "equip" or "use" the item.

The Stepladder is the dungeon item claimed from the Snake Labyrinth in the First Quest, and from the Dragon Labyrinthin the Second Quest. It is used to traverse small (one-square) spans of water, pits, and even hot lava, which would otherwise block Link's progress.
