Tower of Hera (A Link to the Past)

The Tower of Hera, or "Mountain Tower", is the third dungeon in the Light World in A Link to the Past.

It is located at the top of Death Mountain. The main treasure is the Moon Pearl. The end boss is Moldorm. After defeating him Link receives a Heart Container and the Pendant of Wisdom.

In order to climb Death Mountain and thus gain access to the Tower, Link must use the Power Glove previously obtained from the Desert Palace. Link must also make a brief trip into Dark World and escape using the Magic Mirror he obtained from the Old Man in order to get to the other side of Spectacle Rock.

The Dark World counterpart of the Tower of Hera is Ganon's Tower.

Trivia
