Level 9

Death Mountain Labyrinth is the ninth and final labyrinth in The Legend of Zelda.

Entrance to the Labyrinth
In the First Quest, the dungeon is found by bombing one of the giant peaks of Spectacle Rock. In the Second Quest, it's no longer located in there, but in the northern wall of the very narrow passageway found at the northwesternmost area of the game. After Link bombs it, the final dungeon of the second Quest (and the game), is finally open for access.

Themes and Navigation (both quests)
The dungeon in the first quest is shaped like a skull. Being the final labyrinth, it is the largest (over 50 rooms) and most difficult dungeon in the first quest of the game. Link must fight his way through swarms of enemies, including hordes of dangerous Wizzrobes and mini-bosses such as Lanmolas and Patras. Death Mountain Labyrinth contains the Red Ring, useful to damp the enemy damage even more than the Blue Ring, and the legendary Silver Arrows that Link needs to vanquish Ganon. An old man waits at the entrance of the dungeon, preventing any who do not possess a complete Triforce from entering; therefore Link must have obtained all eight pieces in order to challenge Ganon. This extensive dungeon contains many rooms, bombable walls, passages, minibosses, and Wise Men.

Unlike most dungeons in the game, which depart significantly from their original versions in the Second Quest, the Death Mountain Labyrinth is actually similar in both quests. The map now portrays Ganon's head; the two dungeon items are once again the Red Ring and the Silver Arrows. After its completion, the game is officially beaten.
