Sword & Shield Maze: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

The theme of this dungeon centers around polar opposites: the first floor of the dungeon is [[ice]]-themed, while the basement is fire and lava-themed. Also, the first floor of the dungeon, when seen from above, resembles a shield while the first basement resembles a sword, hence the name of the dungeon. These opposites are further interlinked by the fact that, in {{OoS}} and {{OoA}}, defense is usually represented by the color blue (i.e., the [[Blue Ring]]), and offense is usually represented by the color red (i.e. the [[Red Ring]]). Fittingly, the mini-boss of the dungeon is [[Frypolar]], a fire-and-ice enemy. The item obtained in the dungeon is the Level-2 [[Hyper Slingshot]].

The {{Plural|OoS|Magnetic Glove|link}} are used extensively, required to manipulate magnetic balls and {{Plural|OoS|Magunesu|link}}, as well as to pull {{Term|OoS|Link|link}} to a far-away {{Term|OoS|"S" Stone|link}}. The [[Ice#Icy Surfaces|icy floors]] of the ice section of the dungeon cause Link to slip and slide, making navigation rather difficult. This problem can be solved using the [[Snowshoe Ring]]. At a certain point in the dungeon, Link finds magical [[Ice Crystal]]s on the ice-themed floor. These must be thrown down to the fire floor in order to harden the lava, which allows Link to navigate further into the basement of the dungeon.<ref>{{Cite|Icy cores make piercing blades.|Owl Statue|OoS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|The magical ice freezes all.|Owl Statue|OoS}}</ref>

The boss of the dungeon is the fearful [[Medusa Head]]. Defeating the boss garners Link a [[Heart Container]] as well as the [[Changing Seasons]], the final [[Essences of Nature|Essence of Nature]].
